14 INT. RON’S TRAILER - NIGHT 14

Music BLARES as Ron and T.J. party with two hot girls, KELLY

and CRYSTAL, 20s. T.J. cuts a line of coke on a mirror while

Ron dances over to the girls with SHOTS of Jack Daniels. They

both start kissing, then rubbing up against Ron.

15 INT. RON’S TRAILER - NIGHT 15

T.J. is having sex with Kelly as Ron kisses Crystal; he leans

down, snorts what is probably his fiftieth line of coke. He

shakes it off, slams some Jack Daniels from the bottle as if

it was Kool Aid. He's obliterated.

As Ron stares off at something, T.J. waves at Crystal to join

him and Kelly; as she does, we see what Ron is staring at -- a

CALENDAR.

But its days have no numbers. Except one, in blood RED -- 30.

Ron snaps out of his hallucination.

16 INT. RON’S TRAILER - NIGHT 16

T.J. sits down next to Ron, takes a rolled up dollar bill and

does a line of coke.

T.J.

Damn doctors cut your balls off?

RON:

Sh*t, you tell ‘em you got a cold and

they’ll give you two weeks off. You

should try it.

Ron takes the dollar back as T.J. walks to the table to pour

himself a drink.

T.J.

Well, you didn’t miss nothin’ at work.

I'd take disability any day.

Ron does a line of coke. Sees his reflection in the mirror.

Pushes it away.

RON:

I mean I got a stupid cough and they tell

me I got some HIV virus.

T.J. looks at Ron, hears him but doesn't hear him, maybe it

doesn't even register he's so wasted.

RON:

(mutters)

Hell, like I got the AIDS. Damn

hospital, mixed up my blood samples.

T.J.

Man, I went to them doctors once, they

tell me I had chlamydia, I came back home

I realized I had crabs.

RON:

S'what I'm saying.

T.J. licks some coke off his fingers.

T.J.

I heard you get that just by touchin’

someone. Or that queers get it.

RON:

Which is exactly why it’s a mistake.

T.J.

Well, what if it ain't?

RON:

You know me, T. You f***in' serious?

T.J.

Damn right I know you, like you was born

with some kinda p*ssy addiction.

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 13

Ron smiles at the compliment as T.J. dives into the mirror andinhales the last line of coke.

One of the GIRLS walks over.

KELLY:

You said we would be dancin’ by nine.

T.J. smiles at Ron.

T.J.

We should get goin’.

T.J. puts on his jacket.

T.J.

Let’s go girls.

RON:

I'll catch up with you.

T.J.

Alright brother, you cool?

I'm cool.

RON:

T.J.

See you there.

T.J. and the girls leave.

Ron gets up, wasted, and stares out the screen door into thecold dark night, nothing stares back at him.

17 INT. DALLAS PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY 17

Ron is seated in front of a screen that shows a microfiche of

information on AIDS, HIV and AZT.

LATER - DAY:
Ron continues reading; the LIBRARIAN looks overas he endures a brief coughing spasm, then he goes back to hiswork. We PUSH IN on the phrase"...Unprotected sex..."

LATER - DAY:
Ron continues reading, runs his finger along thewords. Stops at "INTRAVENOUS DRUG USE". As he closes his

eyes and exhales--

18 EXT. MOTEL - NIGHT - DREAM / FLASHBACK 18

We're on a SNAKE TATOO on the back of a naked girl having wildsex with a younger and heavier Ron, totally wasted, and...
