Candiland Page #2

Synopsis: Peter, a failed tennis star, is struggling to rebuild his life after a car accident forces the end of his career. Angry at the world's consumerist values and his controlling father, Arnie, whom he blames for being absent during his mother's dying days, Peter is desperately searching for a moment's peace. In an attempt at normality, he heads to a bar for a night out, where he encounters recently divorced and grieving Tess, abandoned and lonely. Finding solace in each other's brokenness, they withdraw to Peter's apartment and begin a sensual love affair. Days of bliss pass by, and when Tess reluctantly tries to leave to deal with the aftermath of her divorce, Peter proposes an idea: isolate themselves in his apartment to create their own reality - CANDiLAND. Now cut off from the world, the tormented lovers embark on a dogmatic quest for a higher existence. But their possessive love descends into a surreal savagery as Arnie attempts to reconnect with his son and put an end to CANDiLAND.

This is all the...

That we had left over.

- Leave!

- Pardon me?

- - Leave!

- What about the Dolly?

- Charge me.

- Oh, I'm gonna charge you.

- That's gonna dry like that.

- Well...

Who needs heat?

- I feel like we need some

music.

- Yeah, that's a fantastic idea.

- I'm starting to believe in

god.

- Really?

- I think you're god.

- Then you must me god too.

That means that I can

actually learn about god

by studying you.

- That's gonna take a long time.

- Shh!

There is no time in here!

- What do you mean, there's

no time in your apartment?

- This is...

Candiland.

&k there goes my heart

&k it goes... &k

no calendars, no clocks, no

time.

- No more social media

judgements.

- Mm-mm.

- I'll do it if you do it.

- I'll do it.

I'm doing it!

&k there goes my heart &k

- I am king Peter, and

you are queen contessa!

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- The citizens

of Candiland are not safe.

- No one is a match for

the 50 foot librarian!

- The army is in its way!

We're gonna take her down,

that's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna throw

everything we've got at her.

If she thinks that she

can come to our city

and, oh no, she's coming!

- I am coming for you.

- We meet again, gigantor man!

You really think you can handle

this?

- I came here to bend you over

the bed.

- I can't kiss you!

I can't kiss you.

Aw, your nose!

- Malfunction, malfunction.

- What is our purpose?

I mean, if we are god, and well,

we are...

Who are we helping,

because isn't the meaning

of life to help others?

- Well we're helping each other.

- I guess so.

- Well...

Maybe we need to help each other

first,

and then we'll figure

out how to help others.

We need to meld together first.

Become as close as possible.

- Peter...

- Hm?

- Will you marry me?

- Right now?

Absolutely, of course!

What do you mean, like the

merging of two dualities?

Should we do it right now?

- No, no, no I think we should

think about it, and then do it

right.

- Well, okay, so how should we

do it then?

- Um, well we have to write our

vows.

- He's not there?

Thank you, sir.

- Okay, enough with the phone.

- England's got a lot of hotels.

- If he wanted you to

have his phone number,

he would've called you.

- You ready?

- Yes!

Okay.

Ta-da!

- Wow.

- Peter needs to get

back on the right track,

and I am what he needs.

- No, he needs to jump out of

the nest.

He needs to spread his wings.

He doesn't need his father

telling him what to do.

- Where are your papers and

everything?

- Mm, shh.

King Peter, I want to live here

in Candiland with you

forever.
