Garden Party Page #5

Synopsis: Are you young, sexually confused, just trying to get by? Do you sing, dance or possess some other talent? Welcome to the Garden Party. At the center of the story is 15-year-old April. She is running from one bad situation into another, hoping to find an answer that doesn't involve taking off her clothes. As April navigates Los Angeles, she falls in with a group of confused kids struggling to chase their dreams. The black widow at the center of this web is a sexy, pot-dealing realtor named Sally St. Clair. Anyone who gets too close falls victim to her kinky entanglements. For some it goes bad, for other worse.

- Okay. What do you do for fun?

Honestly? Nothing.

Yeah, my life is a joyless existence.

I work, I sleep, I do a bit of pot,

and I drink. That's it.

I'm basically totally alone,

and lonely all the time.

Aren't you glad you asked?

Yeah. I am.

- What do you do for a living?

- I work for a real estate agent.

How's that going?

Does "joyless existence" ring a bell?

Hey, let me buy you a shot.

And let's get you a real beer.

April.

Hey. How are you?

I'm okay.

What...? What kind of bar is this?

It's... It's a lesbian bar.

So I got my money.

- What money?

- The money for my month's rent.

What rent?

Rent for your apartment...

...'cause you said

that your roommate was moving out.

I am her roommate.

Your cousin can be a

little b*tch sometimes.

Listen, I can't go back home.

Why?

Long story, but...

...can I just stay with you guys

for a couple nights, or something?

Yeah, sweetie.

Take a walk on the wild side.

I went to a garden party

To reminisce with my old friends

A chance to share old memories

And play our songs again

When I got to the garden party

They all knew my name

But no one recognized me

I didn't look the same

But it's all right now

I learned my lesson well

Hey...

You see, you can't please everyone

So you gotta please yourself

People came from miles around

Everyone was there

Well, he was playing guitar

Just like ringing a bell

And lookin' like he should

Well, if you gotta

play garden parties

I wish you a lot of luck

But if memories were all I sang

I'd rather drive a truck

But it's all right now...

One:
I'm not afraid to love.

Two:
I'm not afraid to be loved.

I know that sounds weird...

...but I'm ready to make something

happen with the three of us together.

Do you hear that?

Hey.

Hey.

I really liked your songs.

They were amazing.

That's cool. Thanks.

No, I mean it.

So do you go to school

with Wayne and the guys?

I don't really go to school.

- You live around here?

- I'm staying with a friend.

I didn't go to the Tony Awards

with Lance Bass.

I don't bat left-handed.

I gotta go.

How are you? I'm Joey Zane.

Nice to meet you.

Put 'er there, big guy.

That's an Army handshake.

That's a lot of confidence.

I gotta tell you: I love you, kid.

I think you're very talented.

You're one of the best.

You can go straight to the top.

I'm managing a band.

We're looking for a lead singer.

We got great material.

I think you should come on down

and meet some of the guys.

What's this? Uh-oh. Shabba!

Yeah. It's my business card.

With you on board,

this could be huge.

I know this because of my dad,

Chucky Lane.

The Chucky Lane.

Come on, guy.

He found Kurt Cobain working

at a f***ing Abercrombie and Fitch.
