Danny Collins Page #3
DANNY:
Yeah, I’m fine. Birthday blues or
some sh*t I guess.
That’s all Frank needs to hear. He stands.
FRANK:
Alright everyone, sorry but my guy
needs a little rest.
No one really listens.
FRANK (CONT’D)
LISTEN UP YOU LEECHES, IT’S TIME
DANNY:
Frank, let ‘em be-
FRANK:
No, Danny, I can name three people
in this room and that’s about
three more than you can.
(to room)
DID I STAMMER, I SAID GET THE F***
OUT!
The mumbling crowd begins dispersing. Once they’re gone,
Danny and Frank sit in silence for a moment. Then:
FRANK (CONT’D)
Birthday’s not till tomorrow, Kid.
Got a few hours till the state
mandated depression has to set in.

(3) 9DANNY:
You see the Golden Girls sitting
in the front row? Eating
liquorice the entire time?
FRANK:
Can’t choose your fans, Danny.
DANNY:
Three of them. Each of them older
than the next. Made one pack of
liquorice last the entire show.
Just sat there gumming it for two
hours.
This hangs there. Frank tries cheering him up.
FRANK:
New billboard went up on Sunset
for the album. You should check
it out on the way home.
Danny nods, staring off into space. Frank STANDS.
FRANK (CONT’D)
Alright, enough of this crap.
It’s your birthday tomorrow,
that’s your big problem? Pregnant
women in Africa, feeding half
their village from their
problems. Not you.
Danny smiles weakly.
DANNY:
No, I know. You’re right.
FRANK:
‘Course I’m right, I’m always
right. So go home to your
stunning half-your-age fianc.
who’s throwing you the massive
surprise party tomorrow that I
didn’t just tell you about. Then
come tell me and the sore tittied
problems.
DANNY:
Okay.
He stands, goes to exit. Frank’s voice stops him.
FRANK:
It was a good show, Kid. Really.

of it. He simply replies:
DANNY:
Yeah.
CUE SONG:
Working Class Hero (TBD) by John Lennon.10 I/E. DANNY’S MERCEDES - LATER 10
It’s a preposterous car for anyone... let alone a man in
his sixties. Silver on the outside, leather everywhere
on the inside, it’s a spaceship on wheels.
Inside:
Danny, exhausted, does everything he can to keephis eyes from closing as he navigates Los Angeles
traffic.
11 INT. DANNY’S MERCEDES - LATER 11
Danny eases the car up to the GATE of a MANSION. He
tries using his “clicker.” It doesn’t work. He SIGHS,
TOOTS the horn.
In the booth of the guardhouse stands a DOORMAN,
currently talking on a HOUSE PHONE. This is MARTY
(40’s). Marty holds up a finger (”Be with you in a
second”).
