Red Roses of Love:  A Movie Script

Written by P.J. Chuz
 

INT. -  A NIGHT CLUB

There is a big crowd.  On an intimate stage, SASHA and her band is performing "Red Roses of Love."  Colorful and dramatic lighting are everywhere.  Audience is mesmerized by her singing and her music. 

                                                              LYRICS
                         "... Battlefield smeared crimson by blood
                         Bouquet of roses under the sun withered
                         A supply of guns and cannons
                         Is no match for my red roses
                         Take your armament away, take them away
                         Give my bouquet back, give me back my bouquet
                         My bouquet, My red roses of love..."

Sasha and band finish singing.  The entire crowd bursts into applause and cheers.  Red roses are thrown onto the stage.  Sasha picks one up.  The band bow to the audience.  They walk off the stage.

INT.  -  SAME NIGHT CLUB AND SAME STAGE

ALEX is among the audience.  He adjusts his thick glasses.  He watches a HEAVY METAL GROUP jumping and running onto the stage.  He seems not accustomed to this kind of extreme loud music.  He notices different body movement among the audience, between several punk groups and the rest of the audience.  He starts moving toward the back stage, looking for Sasha and the band.

INT.  -  A CORNER SEAT IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA

JUAN, the band manager, and Sasha approach this corner seat. 

                                                                 JUAN
                                              (shouting to Sasha’s ear 2 men’s name,
                                               as they walk towards them):
                           You know Ronny Carrington, right? the talent scout…
                            the other is Harry Walfert, Siren’s Manager.

 Juan introduces Sasha to two men sitting there.

                                                                 JUAN
                                                 (to Carrington and WALFERT)
                           I bring you... Sasha!

Carrington admiringly stands up and shakes hands with Sasha.  Sasha sits down.  Juan orders a drink for her and leaves them.  Walfert stares at Sasha through all these chaos. 

Little further away, Alex sits with rest of the band members.  His eyes couldn’t help but watch Sasha’s every move.

A waitress brings Sasha a drink of Bourbon on ice.  Sasha picks up the glass.  Walfert picks up the other hand of hers and brings it to his mouth.  Sasha turns toward him.  He moves in.

                                                                WALFERT
                                                        (whispering to her ear)
                            I am hopelessly in love with you...
                            let my cheek rest upon your bosom...
                            let me sniff your cleavage...

He lowered his nose and it almost hit the target.

                                                                 SASHA
                                                          (frowning)
                           Mr. Walfert! I hardly know you!

She grabbed his hair by the forehead and pushed him straight.

                                                                 SASHA
                           Mr. Walfert!

                                                                WALFERT
                           Call me Harry.

                                                                  SASHA
                           You had too much!

Alex is agitated now by what he sees at Sasha’s table.  Other MEMBERS OF THE BAND laugh and talk with several female friends.  ALAN, the base guitar, turns his head to watch Sasha’s table also.

                                                                WALFERT
                                                  (whispering to Sasha’s ear)
                            I beg of you... don’t be so hard on me...,
                            I can give you anything...
                            you want Ice Crystals?  I have... I have all... anything!

                                                                   SASHA
                                     (sternly and emphasises with her index finger)
                            I don’t do drugs!

Alex, desperately picks up the glass in front of him and forces the whole thing down his throat.  He coughs immediately.  Alan watches Sasha’s table, turns his head back, only to find Alex is reaching for another glass on the table.  He stops him and puts his forehead against Alex’s.

                                                                   ALAN
                            Hey... not to worry... Sasha knows how to protect herself.

                                                                 WALFERT
                                        (tries again to sniff around Sasha’s neck)
                             Stay with me... live with me...
                             I can make you bigger than... Madonna!
                             Let’s live together... you with me...
                             you don’t have boyfriend... right?  Do you?

Sasha turns her head to the band’s table.  She spots Alex’s gaze.  She rolls her arm signalling him to come over. 

Alex rises, fidgets with his glasses, timidly stands there.  Alan pushes him forward from behind.  As he walks to her side, Sasha jumps up and surrenders herself to his astonishment.

                                                                     SASHA
                            Hey, Harry, let me introduce my boyfriend, Alex!

Then with both hands holding his face, she kisses him.
