This is part 2 of the scifi heroin dealing vampire tale.

Manco's Crew

INT. TYLER'S OFFICE - DAY

Tyler is sitting at his desk reading. He looks at
his watch and realizes the time. He goes to a coat
hanger and puts on a causal jacket. He then goes to
his desk and takes out a small revolver, which he
puts in his coat pocket. He shuts off the lights in
his office and exits it.

INT. SOUTH ROW CLUB- DAY

Manco, Darius, Belmor and King are sitting at the
bar, drinking and chatting. Darius has a glass of
blood, while the others have wine in beer glasses.
Tyler walks over to them.

TYLER
(to Manco)
Hello, Manco.

Manco and the other three turn around on their bar
stools.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Hello, Tyler.

DARIUS
(to Tyler)
Hey.

BELMOR
(to Tyler)
Hello.

KING
(to Tyler)
How are you doing?

MANCO
(to Darius, Belmor, and King
and pointing at Tyler)
This guy right here is Tyler.

MANCO
(to Tyler and motioning to
Darius)
This is Darius.
(motioning to Belmor)
This is Belmor.
(motioning to king)
And this is King.
(not making any specific
motions toward anyone)
These are the guys I'm working
with.

DARIUS
Yeah.

TYLER
Okay.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
We run our operations out of this
bar.
(to Belmor)
Belmor, tell him everything we know
so far about Nicholas. You can also
have a seat and a drink.

Tyler gets a seat at the bar with the other four
and motions for the bartender to bring him a drink.
The bartender gives him a glass of iced water.
Tyler sips it.

BELMOR
(to Tyler)
Well, he apparently has warehouses,
of which he operates. Either for
torturing slash raping slash
murdering slash eating his victims,
distributing drugs, making drugs,
holding drugs, or a combination.

DARIUS
(to Tyler)
Our goal as of now is to find more
out about his gang. He has three
top lieutenants. They're Meredith
Drasyel, Marcus Peterman, and
Francisco Cartegera. Marcus is a
vampire.

KING
(to Tyler)
Real bastards they are those
people. Motherfuckers.

They all take a gulp of their drinks.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Our current field operation is
going undercover and meeting these
people and finding out what you can
about the whereabouts of Nicholas.
Since Nicholas's men doesn't know
you, Tyler, we'd like you to go
undercover to one of Meredith's
parties. Get to know her. Bullshit
her up with stuff. Get involved.
Find out what you can.

KING
(to Tyler)
We're willing to cover all your
expenses. Meaning we'll give you
forty dollars for the entrance
fee.

TYLER
Mmmmm. That sounds like a good
thing.

DARIUS
(to Tyler)
It is.

Darius throws two twenties at Tyler. They land on
the floor. Tyler picks them up and puts them in his
wallet.

TYLER
What I wonder about is that I'm
just a mild-mannered hitman. What
besides the fact that we share a
goal and the fact that I'm unknown
to any of Nicholas's men or woman
makes me the right one for this
job?

BENTON
(to Tyler)
You are also charming and
exceptionally skilled in the skill
of killing.

TYLER
I'd suppose your right. So, how
would I "suit up" for this?

KING
(to Tyler)
The party is tomorrow over at the
Regil Club, starting at 8:00
o'clock. All you need is forty
dollars entrance fee, and a little
invitation.

MANCO
Which we have in our possession and
will give to you later in the night
like before you leave the club.

DARIUS
(to Tyler)
Yeah. You'd also need a nice suit.

BELMOR
Oh, definitely a suit.

KING
(to Tyler)
Which, you'll have to pay for.

TYLER
(to the four)
I thought you guys were covering my
expenses.

BELMOR
(to Tyler)
Suits aren't expenses.

TYLER
Oh.

The five all take a gulp of their drink.

MANCO
So, in the meantime, enjoy the
bar.

DARIUS
And come back to us after the party
and tell us what you know.

KING
And that information is all you
need to know for now.

The Party

INT. TYLER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Tyler is sitting at his desk reading. He looks at
his watch and realizes the time. He goes to a coat
hanger and puts on a semi-formal suit jacket. He
then goes to his desk and takes out a small
revolver, which he puts in a holster on his ankle.
He also gets an invitation off his desk and also
puts it in his suit jacket pocket. He shuts off the
lights in his office and exits it.

EXT. REGIL CLUB - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT

There is a mob of people outside the Regil Club.
Only a few are getting in through the runway
between the mobs. Tyler is one of those people. He
walks up to the entrance doors and the doorman
stops him.

REGIL CLUB DOORMAN
(to Tyler)
I'm sorry, but I'd have to see your
invitation and I need to collect
the entrance fee, before I can let
you in.

TYLER
(to the doorman)
Why of course.

Tyler takes out his wallet and gives the doorman
forty dollars, and then he takes out his invitation
and gives it to the doorman. He also takes out a
ten dollar bill.

TYLER
(handing ten dollar bill to
the doorman)
For your troubles.

REGIL CLUB DOORMAN
Of course, sir. Walk right in.

The doorman opens the doors and Tyler enters.

INT. REGIL CLUB - MEREDITH'S PARTY - NIGHT

A rather formal party is going on with cocktails,
waiter's with finger foods, and stuffy people in
suits talking. Tyler heads over to one of the
waiters.

TYLER
(to waiter)
Excuse me. Would you happen to know
the location of the hostess of this
fine party?

WAITER
She's floating around.

TYLER
Ah, indeed. Then I guess I'm going
to have to look for her.

WAITER
I believe so.

TYLER
Okay, carry on.

WAITER
I will.

The waiter carries on with his duties. Tyler goes
up to the bar. The bartender smiles.

MEREDITH'S PARTY BARETENDER
How may I help you?

TYLER
Yes, I would like some wine.

MEREDITH'S PARTY BARETENDER
What kind of wine?

TYLER
Any type of wine.

MEREDITH'S PARTY BARETENDER
Coming right up.

The bartender pours some wine from a random bottle
inside a small wine glass. The bartender hands him
the glass.

TYLER
Thank you.

MEREDITH'S PARTY BARETENDER
Your welcome.

Tyler walks away with the drink in hand. He stands
by a table with some food on it and starts sipping
his drink, with the silent hope that someone will
approach him. He stands there for a bit. Eventually
a punk in a suit, named Ari, comes to greet him.

ARI
(to Tyler)
Looks like you're enjoying the
party.

Ari chuckles.

ARI
(cont'd and with his hand
out)
I'm Ari. May I have the pleasure of
knowing your name.

Tyler shakes Ari's hand.

TYLER
I'm Tyler.

ARI
What brings you to this party.

TYLER
Business.

ARI
Mmmm. My brother happens to be a
heroin dealer. He gets invitations.
Do you even know what this party is
really about?

TYLER
I am here for business.

ARI
Well, at the risk of stating known
information this party is to
celebrate Meredith's organizations
new success in the heroin
business.

TYLER
I'm not surprised.

ARI
I hear their giving out free heroin
here.

TYLER
(chuckling)
Probably a way to attract new
business.

ARI
Probably.

TYLER
Hey, would you know where I could
find Meredith.

ARI
She's floating around.

TYLER
Okay.

The stand there, drinking. A short amount of time
passes.

ARI
(to Tyler)
See any good films lately?

TYLER
No. I haven't.

ARI
That's too bad. There's a lot of
good movies out there.

TYLER
Is that so?

ARI
Yup.

TYLER
Maybe I'll check some out.

ARI
Good man.

Ari walks away.

TRACKING SHOT-- Tyler finishes his drink and puts
it on the table. He then floats around the party
keeping his eyes open for Meredith. Then he spots a
woman also floating around the party, surrounded by
a group of people trying to talk to her. This
person is Meredith. Tyler walks up to the group.
Meredith immediately takes notice of him. The group
stops trying to talk to her.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
And who may you be?

TYLER
(to Meredith)
My name is Tyler.

MEREDITH
A fantastic name.


TYLER
Are you Meredith?

MEREDITH
Yes I am. Enjoying the party?

TYLER
Very much so.

MEREDITH
That's good. How about later on,
you come back into the drug bath
with me?

TYLER
I would be delighted.

MEREDITH
Okay. In the meantime, continue
enjoying the party.

TYLER
I will.

The other people go back to trying to talk to
Meredith while she continues to float around the
party.

INT. REGIL CLUB - DRUG BATH - LOCKER AREA - NIGHT -
CONTINUOUS ACTION

Tyler is in the locker area to the drug bath. There
is an attendant inside the locker room and some
other people as well.

REGIL CLUB DRUG BATH ATTENDANT
Remember, no clothes are allowed in
the drug bath.

Tyler and the others start to take off their
clothes. When they are all stripped they enter the
bath area.

INT. REGIL CLUB - DRUG BATH - BATH AREA - NIGHT -
CONTINUOUS ACTION

There people inside a large roman-style bath, all
naked, using all types of drugs from tobacco to
LSD. Meredith is among them and talking with some
other nude people. There is also some extremely
sexual vampiric blood transferring going on. Tyler
sits down right near Meredith. The people around
her are chatting about everything from the heroin
trade to popular music or are just lost in a
chemical trance. Meredith takes notice of Tyler and
talks with him.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Well, Tyler, I see you're here at
the drug bath.

TYLER
That I am.

MEREDITH
So, what brings you to one of my
parties.

TYLER
Many things.

MEREDITH
What would be the primary reason?

TYLER
Business.

MEREDITH
What kind of business?

TYLER
Just plain old business involving
professions.

MEREDITH
I see. So what exactly is your
profession?

TYLER
I'm a drug designer.

MEREDITH
Pharmaceutical?

TYLER
You got it right.

MEREDITH
Tell me. How is the pharmaceutical
drug business going?

TYLER
It's going well. Psychotropics and
sex stimulants are the real craze.
Not too different from the
marijuana and ecstasy of your side
of the business.

MEREDITH
Not too different at all.

TYLER
I'm a actually looking to see what
I can offer to you and your
business.

MEREDITH
I'm honored that people in the
pharmaceutical side of the business
want to come into the illicit side
of the business.

TYLER
I'm honored that you're honored by
it.

MEREDITH
Than we're both honored.

TYLER
Indeed.

MEREDITH
So, anyway, I may be able to offer
you a part in my organization.

TYLER
That sounds lovely.

MEREDITH
But business isn't all I wanted to
talk to you about when I invited
you back here.

TYLER
Well, what else did you want to
talk about?

MEREDITH
Nothing, nothing, at all. I just do
that sometimes.

TYLER
Okay. So, when can I get involved
in this job?

MEREDITH
I'll contact you. Then I'll do a
more formal interview.

TYLER
How will you contact me?

MEREDITH
I'd need your phone number.

TYLER
Should I give it to you now?

MEREDITH
Why not, but don't speak it to me.
Carve it onto the skin of one of
the vampire concubines.
(to a group of vampire
concubines engaged in group
sex)
Get over here! Now! You fucked up
diseased blood thirsty filing
cabinet of a human being!

A female vampire concubines stops having sex and
comes over.

MEREDITH
(to female vampire concubine)
Lie down on your back!

The concubine lies down on her back. Meredith hands
Tyler a drug that was on the side with a pile of
cocaine.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
That's a drug pen. It carves
through skin but releases morphine,
so you don't hurt the concubine in
terms of pain.
(whispering into Tyler's ear)
It avoids lawsuits.

TYLER
Writing on concubines seems to be
an effective method of recording
information then.

MEREDITH
God. It is.

TYLER
Okay.

Tyler writes on the concubine's stomach 555-6792.

MEREDITH
Perfect.
(to female vampire concubine)
Go back to your orgy!

The female vampire concubine goes back to her group
sex.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
I'll call you sometime in the near
future. You can go off and enjoy
the drugs and concubines, while you
are here.

TYLER
Actually, I really hafta go.

MEREDITH
Okay, no problem.

Tyler gets up and walks away.

INT. SOUTH ROW CLUB - NIGHT

Manco, Darius, Belmor, and King are at the bar
chatting. Tyler comes up to them. They turn around
on they're bar stools to face Tyler.

TYLER
(to Manco, Darius, Belmor,
and King)
Meredith is going to call me for a
pharmaceutical position. I gave her
my office phone number.

DARIUS
Good show.

BELMOR
But do you know anything about
pharmaceutics?

TYLER
I've dabbled enough to bullshit
with credibility.

MANCO
Okay, this is all good. Now, once
you are in this position, you are
to find out as much information as
you can and try to hinder their
production.

TYLER
Remember guys, my only goal is to
kill Nicholas. I am sympathetic to
your plight, but once he's dead I'm
out of here.

MANCO
That's perfectly fine. Once
Nicholas is down, his operation is
likely to fall and vice versa.

TYLER
Okay, so what should I do for now.
Wait around in my office, for a
phone call?

KING
That would be advisable.

TYLER
So, that's it.

BELMOR
Yup, once you get involved, with
them, contact us again.

TYLER
Okay.

DARIUS
Remember, don't get too involved to
the point where you actually care
for this scum. Remember they steal
heroin business from us. And they
work for that vampire rapist,
Nicholas.

TYLER
I know the rules of undercover. I'm
a hitman. And frankly, Darius, I'm
offended that we would even make
the assumption that I needed to be
reminded.

DARIUS
I'm sorry.

TYLER
You should be.

There is a short pause, where everyone is just
looking looking at each other.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Well... I guess you better be
heading to your office. And once
you're at your office, you better
find a way to pass the time waiting
for that phone call.

TYLER
Sure.

Tyler walks out of the bar. The other four got back
to their chatting and drinking.

Waiting for the Phone Call

INT. TYLER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Tyler walks into his office. He hangs up his coat
and puts his gun away. He goes to his desk and
takes out a book titled, "The Art of Transsexual
Prostitution". He begins reading.

CUT TO:

INT. TYLER'S OFFICE - DAY

Tyler is still reading the book, but is much
further through. He looks at his watch. He unlocks
and opens a door to a closet in office to reveal a
half-naked woman gagged, attached to a leash
attached to the closet wall. She is also walking on
all fours like a dog. Her name is Beth. The closet
is is filled with excrement and rotten meat.

TYLER
(to Beth)
Beth, it's time to walk you.

Beth starts growling.

TYLER
(to Beth)
Now Beth, it's not very nice to
growl at your master.

Beth starts to cry.

TYLER
(to Beth)
Don't feel bad, Beth.

Tyler grabs Beth's leash and pulls her out of the
closet and into the office.

TYLER
(to Beth)
Now because I'm waiting for a phone
call, I have to walk you inside the
office.

Beth starts growling again. Tyler takes out a
pocket knife and stabs her. She whimpers and
settles down.

TYLER
Good.

Tyler walks Bethany around the office for a little
while for about 4 laps, and then Tyler stops. Tyler
ties Beth's leash back to the closet.

TYLER
(to Beth)
You're in line for a treat.

Tyler opens another closet, to reveal a dead body.

TYLER
(to Beth)
I'll give you some of old Alfie
here. What do you say?

Beth growls again. Tyler, using the same pocket
knife he used to stab Beth, cuts a sliver of meat
from the dead body. He then throws it to Beth. He
then goes to Beth and quickly removes the gag and
then leaps away. Beth starts ferociously eating the
piece of meat.

TYLER
(sighing)
That's my Beth.

He then shuts and locks the closet door.

Tyler goes down to start reading again.

CUT TO:

INT. TYLER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Tyler is reading and then the phone rings. Tyler
picks it up. It's Meredith.

MEREDITH (OS)
Hello.

TYLER
Hello

MEREDITH (OS)
Is this the residence or office of
a Tyler?

TYLER
Why yes it is.

MEREDITH (OS)
Then to whom am I speaking?

TYLER
To Tyler himself.

MEREDITH (OS)
Oh, Tyler, I didn't recognize you.
How are you doing?

TYLER
I'm doing good.

MEREDITH (OS)
Good. Well, I said I'd call you, so
I'm calling you.

TYLER
Glad to here it.

MEREDITH (OS)
Can you meet me right now at
Thelonius's Bar, Grill, and Sex
Club?

TYLER
Sure.

MEREDITH (OS)
I'll explain more there. Just tell
the hostess to bring you to
Meredith's private room.

TYLER
Okay.

MEREDITH (OS)
See you there.

TYLER
See you there.

Tyler hangs up the phone. He then puts on his coat
and puts his pistol in his coat, proceeding to walk
out of the office.


Getting the Job

INT. THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX CLUB - NIGHT

Tyler is waiting for a hostess to give him his
table. A hostess comes. It is the one as from last
time.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB HOSTESS
(to Tyler)
Hello and welcome to Thelonius's
Bar, Grill, and Sex Club. Would you
like a seat?

TYLER
(to hostess)
Actually, I'd like to go to
Meredith's private room.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to hostess)
Why, certainly.

TYLER
Okay.

Tracking Shot-- The hostess brings Tyler across the
bar and grill area to the sex club area. There are
many sexual encounters going on and the two just
walk past them until they reach a small door in the
sado-masochist section. The hostess brings Tyler
through the door.

INT. THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX CLUB - NIGHT -
CONTINUOUS ACTION

The private room is nicely decorated and has a
large dining table in the middle. The centerpiece
for the table is a nude vampire in S&M gear, who
tied to the table and struggling around. Meredith,
Marcus, and Francisco are dining at the table. The
hostess leaves Tyler there.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Hello, Tyler.
(to Marcus and Francisco)
This is the pharmacy guy I was
telling you about.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Hello, I'm Marcus.

FRANCISCO
(to Tyler)
I'm Francisco.

Meredith gets behind Francisco with a piano wire
and strangles him. He chokes and struggles and
eventually dies. Meredith throws his body on the
ground. No one else does anything.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
I didn't trust Francisco.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Neither did I. Better safe than
sorry. Right?

TYLER
Right.

MEREDITH
Okay, sit down.

Tyler sits down at the table.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
A waitress should be coming
shortly.

TYLER
That sounds lovely.

MARCUS
It sure should.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Okay. So, Tyler, tell us more about
your history in the pharmaceutical
business?

TYLER
(to both Marcus and Meredith)
Well, I worked at a respectable
pharmaceutical firm, working
primarily in the brain-fucking side
of the business? The kind you would
be most interested in.

MEREDITH
Oh, indeed we would.

TYLER
(to Marcus and Meredith)
Well, anyway, I was a developer in
a certain aphrodisiac.

MARCUS
Just the kind of pharmaceutical
expertise we were looking for.

MEREDITH
Oh, indeed.

TYLER
(to Marcus and Meredith)
I helped develop such drugs as
Milixolol...

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Isn't that used to "treat" acute
depression?

TYLER
(to Marcus)
Well, yes, it was too potent to be
a sex drug. Sent people in manic
frenzies of joy. Sex drugs have to
be somewhat mild or they'll kill
the natural high.

MEREDITH
Yes, of course.
(to Tyler)
What else did you develop?

TYLER
Taresto, Charifural,
Bleksorgioniktel, and
Sugafrigaroderind.

MARCUS
All are successful sex drugs, are
they not?

TYLER
Actually some are also
psychotropic. My pride and joy,
though, Taresto, is both a
psychotropic and an aphrodisiac.

MARCUS
It sounds like we'd want you on the
team.

MEREDITH
Yes we would.

The waitress comes into the room.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to everyone)
Can I take your orders?

MARCUS
(to waitress)
Yes, of course.
(to Tyler)
No need for a menu. At the private
table, we can order anything we
please.

TYLER
(to Marcus)
Is that so?

MARCUS
Yes.

TYLER
Okay.

MARCUS
(to the waitress)
I'd like cheese stuffed pasta with
buttered asparagus on a bun.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Marcus, while writing on
her pad)
Would you like anything to drink
with that?

MARCUS
(to waitress)
I'd like some battery acid mixed
with dog's blood.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
Sure.
(to Meredith)
What would you like?

MEREDITH
Give me a salted roast pork covered
in chicken skin, sprayed with
canned butter, with a side of
cheese steak and for a drink a
glass of pure hand pressed potato
juice.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Meredith, while writing
down meal options)
That sounds like a fantastic meal.
(to Tyler)
And what would you like?

TYLER
(to waitress)
I'll take a beef porkish ham
tenderloin sauteed in margarine on
a tossed salad platter with a glass
of bacon drippings mixed with
asparagus juice to drink. Also
throw in some vodka. On and in
everything. Then put it all in a
blender and serve it in a
pitcher.

The waitress writes down Tyler's order.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Marcus)
So you would like...
(reading from the pad)
cheese stuffed pasta with buttered
asparagus on a bun and a glass of
battery acid mixed with dog's
blood?

MARCUS
(to waitress)
Yes.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Meredith)
And you would like...
(reading from the pad)
a salted roast pork covered in
chicken skin, sprayed with canned
butter, with a side of cheese steak
and a glass of hand pressed potato
juice.

MEREDITH
(to waitress)
Why yes.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Tyler)
And you sir...
(reading from the bad)
a beef porkish ham tenderloin
sauteed in margarine on a tossed
salad platter with a glass of bacon
drippings mixed with asparagus
juice to drink. Throw in some
vodka. On and in everything. Then
put it all in a blender and serve
it in a pitcher.

TYLER
That's the one.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to the three)
Okay, you're orders should be done
when they're done, but we will have
you at top priority.

TYLER
That sounds lovely.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
Oh, it should. It should sounds
very lovely. For it will be a
lovely meal. A very lovely meal
indeed, that I hope you will
enjoy.

MEREDITH
(to waitress)
I'm sure we will enjoy this lovely
meal.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
Okay, then. Would any of you like
any prostitutes, while you are
waiting?

TYLER
(to the waitress)
No thank you.

MEREDITH
(to the waitress)
No.

MARCUS
Sorry.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
Okay.

The waitress leaves.

TYLER
(to Marcus)
I see you ordered dog's blood in a
mixture with battery acid.

MARCUS
Yes, I did.

TYLER
(to Marcus)
Now why is that?

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Well, I happen to be a vampire,
Tyler.

TYLER
Okay.

MARCUS
Okay.

There is a pause for a bit.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
So, Tyler, tell us more about your
work in the drug business? What are
you doing currently doing?

TYLER
You know. I made chemical formulas,
did lab research. I also made a lot
of money on the side, selling
poison.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
What do you mean poison?

TYLER
Well... I sold people, in the bulk,
laboratory waste, right down to rat
feces grounded down to somehow look
like cocaine.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
You sound like a creative type.

TYLER
(to Meredith)
Maybe I am a creative type. Is that
what you are looking for?

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Perhaps.

TYLER
I see.

MARCUS
Indeed.

There is a pause for a bit.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
So anyway, Tyler, I think we're
going to hire you. We'll give you a
laboratory, where you can work on
drugs experimentations for us.
We'll pay you by the results you'll
get. As of now, we're trying to
find a way to cheaply and potently
mix as many powdered drugs as
possible and get the most mileage
for our buck.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Indeed.

TYLER
(to Marcus and Meredith)
That sounds fantastic. When can I
start work?

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Once again, you shall be called.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
In the meantime, though, do you
have any questions about our
business and your job?

TYLER
As a matter of fact I do.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Then we would love to hear it.

TYLER
Who do you work for?

Marcus and Meredith look at each other.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Well, Tyler, we work for a vampire
by the name of Nicholas Terrimo.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Indeed.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
It's really hard to get to see him,
though. He does many things on his
own. He's a very private man.

TYLER
(to Marcus)
Were you insinuating that I wanted
to meet him?

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Do not employees usually want to
meet the boss?

TYLER
Perhaps I do want to meet him, but
only when it is appropriate, though
I would like to at least know about
my employer's boss.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Tyler, there really isn't that much
to know. He's a vampire. He's a
private man. He pulls the primary
strings. It's hard to meet him.
He's rather flamboyant. He dresses
well, and that is really about it.

TYLER
(to Meredith)
I've also heard him to be a
frequenter of brothels, night
clubs, and sex clubs.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
Yes and no.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
He frequents them, but not under
his identity, nor for long periods
of time. Of those who have heard of
him, there is a common
misconception that he is a party
animal.

TYLER
Okay, then I'm content.

MARCUS
Good, then let us move on.

The waitress walks in with the drinks.

MARCUS
(to the waitress)
Oh, the drinks. Just set them down
the table.

The waitress sets the drinks down on the table.

TYLER
(to waitress)
Thank you.

THELONIUS'S BAR, GRILL, AND SEX
CLUB WAITRESS
(to Tyler)
You're welcome.

The waitress leaves.

MARCUS
(to Tyler)
Now, do you have any other
questions.

Marcus takes a sip of his drink.

TYLER
(to Marcus)
Will I be working with anyone?

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
There'll be a few. Why? Is that a
problem?

TYLER
(to Meredith)
No, just curious.

MARCUS
Good.
(to Tyler)
Anything else?

TYLER
We'll actually yes. I think I've
figured out a solution to your
powdered drug problem. Just mix 25
cups of spoiled sugar products that
have been ground to powder, which
are incredibly cheap and reliable
together with less than a quarter
of a pinch of cocaine mixed with
rat poison. Then add three cups
flour, cook it and you should have
something special with enough
servings to do up a whole
neighborhood for years.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
My, god. You're right. That would
be perfect. We'll then you next
assignment would be drug improve.
So, anything else?

TYLER
No, not really.

MARCUS
Good, then we can spend the rest of
the meal with just small talk.

TYLER
That sounds lovely.

MEREDITH
(to Tyler)
It sure is.

They all take a sip of their drinks. Then then they
start chatting about all manners of things.

INT. SOUTH ROW CLUB - NIGHT

Darius, Belmor, King, and Manco are sitting at the
bar, drinking and chatting. Tyler walks in and then
claps his hand to get their attention. They all
turn around on their bar stools and look at Tyler.

TYLER
(to the four)
I got the job. They're going to
call me. Then I'll start.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
That sounds lovely.

DARIUS
By the way. Was Francisco Cartegera
there?

TYLER
(to Darius)
He was, but they killed him. Sounds
like they didn't trust him.

Darius takes out a large revolver and points it at
King. Belmor takes out a knife and grabs King
around the waste, keeping the knife to his
genitalia. Manco takes out a smaller semi-automatic
pistol and points it at King.

KING
(to Manco)
No!

Manco and Darius empty the clips of both their guns
at King. Belmor let's go of King and then starts
stabbing him.

TYLER
(to Manco)
What is this about?

MANCO
(to Tyler)
We were suspecting he was a working
for Nicholas. That was the last
straw of proof we needed. Francisco
Cartegera was our original inside
man in Nicholas's operation.
Luckily, we know that he didn't
give you away. We kept tabs on
him.

Belmor is still stabbing King. Darius takes out a
pocket knife and joins in on the fun.

TYLER
(to Manco)
Why'd they kill him in front of
me?

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Take it from the expert. Job
interviews are fantastic places to
kill people.

TYLER
(to Manco)
I'm an expert and I've never heard
that. I always thought public
bathrooms and brothels were the
best places to kill people.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Those too.

The stabbing is still going on.

TYLER
(to Manco)
I'll keep that new bit of
information duly noted.

MANCO
(to Tyler)
You should.

TYLER
(to Manco)
Okay. So, I should just wait for
the phone call, then go tot he job
and report to you once in a
while?

MANCO
(to Tyler)
Absolutely.

TYLER
(to Manco)
Gottit.

Still, they are stabbing the corpse.

TYLER
(to Manco)
Have a lovely day.

MANCO
I will.

TYLER
Good.

MANCO
See yah.

TYLER
(to Manco)
See yah. Oh and by the way, I made
a drug recipe and gave it to
them.

MANCO
Really?

TYLER
Yup.

MANCO
Nothing can compete with our fresh
brewed California spring heroin.
Don't worry about it.

Tyler exits.
