Alpha Dog Page #5

Synopsis: 1999, Claremont, California. Middle-class kids, in their 20s, talk trash, wave guns, hang out in a pack. Johnny Truelove, drug dealer and son of a underworld figure, threatens Jake Mazursky, an explosive head case who owes Johnny money; Jake responds by breaking into Johnny's house. On impulse, Johnny and a couple pals kidnap Jake's 15-year-old brother, Zach. Zach's okay with it, figuring his brother will pay the debt soon. Johnny assigns his buddy Frankie to be Zach's minder, and they develop a brotherly friendship. Zach parties with his captors as things begin to spin out of control. Group think, amorality, and fear of prison assert a hold on the pack. Is Zach in danger?

Yes, I do know

what time it is, thank you.

Put my son on the phone

or I am coming over there

right now, God damn it.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, okay. All right!

You got to go home.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

ZACK:
No!

WANDA:
Wait, no, stop!

JAKE:
Come on, Zack!

Tonight we ride!

(ZACK LAUGHING)

- Come on.

- No!

Come on.

ZACK:
Jake. Hey, Jake.

- Jake, am I a funny guy?

- You're hysterical.

- Am I a good guy?

- You're the best.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, you are a good guy.

- You are the best, man.

- Oh, boy.

- Get inside.

- Oh, Dad!

You wanted him,

you got him.

Hi!

Bye!

BUTCH:
You're a real

son of a b*tch,

you know that?

Come on!

MAN:
I was f***ing my dog

one time, right?

No, no, no. Hey...

Hey, look at the caboose

on that one.

I could crack that open

like a peach.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

You are a f***ing dinosaur,

Cosmo.

Come on. You're dead.

You can't do anything.

Your balls

are all wrinkled up.

- What?

- What?

"What?" You deaf f***.

I said you're old.

I can knock the bottom

out of her.

You don't even know

what a bottom is.

You don't know what to do.

Balls deep.

Hey, waitress!

What can I do for you?

What did you have in mind?

Just get another

round of drinks.

- You haven't finished the last ones.

- I didn't ask you that.

- Just get us some more f***ing drinks.

- Get us some drinks, b*tch!

Come on.

Mind your manners.

We're fine.

Just give me the bill.

Hey, no, Dad.

Come on, I got it.

Oh, you got it, huh?

What are you...

Look at this guy.

- Special occasion.

- Big spender over here!

- Come on, Cos, let's go.

- Johnny says we're leaving, let's go!

Hey, Johnny,

watch this.

- Tell Jake we stopped in.

- Oh, I will.

When I told Jake

what happened,

he f***ing flipped out.

And I had to calm him down.

He was going to kill Johnny.

Jake's like that.

He's a very passionate

person.

But I told him,

"No. If you're gonna

do something,

"you got to f***ing

hit him where it hurts."

Johnny had a car stolen

by a mutual acquaintance,

and he was trying to collect

on the insurance money.

Jake comes in,

salts the whole f***ing deal,

insurance company

catches wind of it,

they don't pay out.

Costs Johnny $30,000.

Of course,

Johnny had to retaliate.

It's f***ing business.

Mr. Johansson

wants to see you.

You wanted to see me?

Sit down.

What's up, Pete?

Your probation officer called.

You talked to Mr. Lampington?

I thought he was out of town.

Yeah. Well,

I talked to him.

He says you've been getting

into trouble again.

Breaking into houses,

using drugs. Speed, mainly.

It's not true.

- Yeah, it is.

- No, it's not.

Pete, I swear to God.

Dude. Dude! It's...

I feel you. I'm right here.
