INT. CAMP CABIN - NIGHT

In the darkness, a bunkbed shakes ever so slightly as we hear very light grunts. It stops. And then it starts again. In the bunkbed, an anxious girl tries masturbating in her sleeping bag but the bed keeps creaking.

This is JOSIE, 17, sweet, shy and uncomfortably awkward. At the side of the bed, a bell moves a little. She stops.

Across the room, another girl boldly masturbates in her bunk.

This is PJ, 17, horny, with zero sexual experience and incredibly blind confidence. Her bed also creaks. Unlike Josie, PJ has taped her bell to the bed, so it won’t ring.

An annoyed GOODY TWO SHOES CAMPER on the bottom bunk hears PJ masturbate and grimaces. A wide shot shows two beds on different sides of the cabin moving and creaking slightly.

Josie continues. Her bell starts to move. They both get closer. Josie eventually cums and convulses, which rings the bell. PJ is ready to cum just before Josie falls off her bed in her sleeping bag and lands on her arm, causing THE ALARMS to go off and the lights to go on. Terrified, Josie pops out of her sleeping bag.

Campers wake up and laugh. Annoyed, PJ gives Josie a look. A tattooed supervisor with a half shaved head, in a shirt that reads “L.O.B.O.T.O.M.Y.” enters the cabin, annoyed. She walks up to Josie, sighs and then notices the taped bell on PJ’s bed. She walks up to it and rips it off.

This is RHODES, 40s.

She adds two tallies to Josie and Pj’s names on a chalkboard masturbation chart. PJ rolls her eyes and knocks her head into her pillow.

GIRLS (PRE-LAP)
Ladies! Overcoming! Bad! Obstacles! To! Overcome! Mistaken! Youth!

EXT. FIELD - DAY

The campers, also in “L.O.B.O.T.O.M.Y.” shirts, stand in rows on a patchy field of yellow grass. They face Rhodes.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 2.

22 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 22

RHODES
What does that spell?
GIRLS
Lobotomy!

Josie and PJ, wear T-shirts that read “Masturbator 1” and “Masturbator 2.” Josie’s arm is now in a shift sling.

RHODES
Alright, give it up for yourselves!

The girls barely clap. One drools. Another wakes herself up. A HOT GIRL juuls. PJ looks at her and smiles. She barely smiles back. Josie tries smiling too, but sneezes.

PJ
Oh. Period check.
JOSIE
I’m fine. I would feel it.
RHODES
Thanks to the state’s initiative to empower young women and to lower the rate of teenage abortion, you get to walk away with valuable skills and fun memories. I truly believe that with the work we’ve done all summer, none of you will get pregnant... until it’s on purpose. Whether you’ve been here a month or two months or Jessica, three years -
(eyeing PJ and Josie)
I hope you’ve learned to resist your urges. Be sure to take a pamphlet on your way out.

Rhodes holds up a pamphlet that shows a soldier holding a gun and a newborn baby wearing a mini soldier’s uniform. They stand beside a teenage girl with her thumbs up.

EXT. CAMP PARKING LOT - LATER

Josie and PJ exit the camp.

JOSIE
This was so stupid.
PJ
Yeah, I didn’t even finish.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 2A.

33 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 33

JOSIE
Sorry my Mom sent us here.
PJ
Sorry I’m such a bad influence and can’t stop jacking off.
JOSIE
Thanks. Just don’t do it in her private bathroom again.
PJ JOSIE (CONT’D)
I don’t know how many times I PJ, that is her private need to say it, but she oasis. You can’t go one night didn’t knock. Adult women without - You know what, should know how to knock. whatever. Where else was I - Alright, let’s just -
PJ (CONT’D)
... I won’t do it in there again, I’m sorry.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 3.

33 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 33

JOSIE
It’s fine. Except now everyone at school’s going to think we’re like pervert losers, instead of just regular losers -
PJ
Wait, delicate wrists -

PJ taps Josie. They see Hot Girl, juuling delicately, nearby.

JOSIE
Tiny arms, delicate wrists.
PJ
Do you feel like we kind of look alike? We both have beauty marks on our chins.
JOSIE
Yours is an acne scar.
PJ
That’s what I’m saying. She’s like hot-me. So if we dated we’d probably start to look more and more like each other. Like one of those sexy sister couples.

PJ makes a beeline for her. Josie nervously follows.

PJ (CONT’D)
Hey! Just wanted to say it was great being at camp with you. I loved getting to know how... beautiful you are.
HOT GIRL
Ugh. That’s what like everyone is saying to me...
JOSIE
Yeah um... Same.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 4.

33 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 33

HOT GIRL
You period-ed yourself.

Embarrased, Josie looks down. She did indeed period herself. The Hot Girl looks grossed out. PJ notices.

PJ
Yeah... on purpose. Free-bleed movement? Big with some pretty cool feminists. Ever go on jezebel.net?
HOT GIRL
I’m post-woke. So no.

A crying Mom and Dad run up, holding a sign reading “Welcome home not-pregnant Kaitlyn.” Hot Girl leaves with them.

PJ
What did I say? You sneeze with your whole body. Every time. Where the fuck is my Mom?

They stand in an empty parking lot.

INT. JOSIE’S BEDROOM - EVENING

PJ sits at the bottom of a full length mirror applying too much brightly colored makeup.

Josie’s bedroom’s covered in catholic iconography, medals from chess championships and science fairs, and photos of her and PJ at various ages - on a milk run, dressed up on Halloween and licking a Lincoln statue. A giant angelic communion photo hangs above Josie’s bed.

PJ
I feel it queen. Tonight’s our night.

In the bathroom, Josie puts on a comically large snapback. We cut back and forth between PJ in the bedroom and Josie in the bathroom.

JOSIE
Speak for yourself. No one’s going to want to fuck me when they find out I’m clinically horny.
PJ
Well I’m talking to Brittany. It’s time.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 5.

44 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 44

JOSIE
Oh really? There wasn’t a good moment in the last eleven years?
PJ
It’s called building tension. You should say hi to Isabel.
JOSIE
Yeah maybe I’ll go up to her and be like how’s your boyfriend? What’s his dick look like? Big? Awesome.
PJ
They could have broken up, you never know. The fair’s a fresh start. We’ll find out who broke up, who got pregnant, who got an abortion, who got a secret abortion.
JOSIE
Well I know all of that stuff already so I don’t need to go. Plus, I’m playing the long game. Wait till she gets married, has 2 kids and a mid life crisis. I see her in 20 years at the reunion. She’s worn down, her shine’s gone. That’s when I swoop in.
PJ
Josie, you’re in the final virgo season of high school! Do you want to be the only girl virgin at Sarah Lawrence?
JOSIE
Maybe. I’ll have better luck there.

Josie puts on an even larger snapback from a bunch piled onto a virgin Mary statue.

PJ
No, you won’t because everyone there will have been out since they were five and they’ll all be experimenting with being straight. You know what, I’m tired of this negative energy.

PJ turns to see Josie exit the bathroom, wearing a bandana and a belt with a million carabiners.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 5A.

44 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 44

PJ (CONT’D)
What the fuck are you wearing?

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 6.

44 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 44

JOSIE
I broke my arm. I’m adapting the rest of the look to match. I look like I fix things.
PJ
Just take off the sling already!
JOSIE
It needs 13 more hours to heal, PJ. What are you wearing?

PJ stands, revealing a slutty schoolgirl outfit with ten crosses and long earrings.

PJ
I’m sexy-casual. Subtly-sexy.
JOSIE
What does that even mean?
PJ
It means people are going to be attracted to me but they won’t know why. But it’s because they can see my bra through my shirt but I’m wearing a buttondown so they’ll think it’s my personality. You wouldn’t understand. You’ve never seen vagina outside the girls locker room.
JOSIE
No one shows vagina in the locker room.
PJ
I show vagina in the locker room all the time.
JOSIE
Okay well what else am I supposed to wear then? You know what, this is why I shouldn’t go.

PJ removes some of the carabiners from Josie’s belt loops and a wrench from her back pocket.

PJ
Okay stop, it’s not that bad. You look fine, it’s just... what is this wrench for?

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 6A.

EXT. TOWN FAIR - NIGHT

A giant banner reading “WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! GO VIKINGS! (Football is all we need! It’s also the only thing we have!)” stands above a crowded lively carnival with a hundred locals. Small rides and fundraiser booths cover a town square. A cheerleader eats cotton candy and spits it out. A Mom hands out fliers. The mascot dances. It’s a person wearing a dog costume with a comically huge dog penis. PJ confidently walks through the crowd. Hesitant, Josie trails behind.

ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
Welcome back Rockbridge Falls! Let's go Vikings!
(MORE)

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 7.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

ANNOUNCER (O.S.) (CONT'D)
This year, our team needs all the help they can get as they face off against the EVIL MANIACAL UGLY SHIT- EATING HUNTINGTON PANTHERS.

Boos echo from the crowd. Moms perfect signs with "DESTROY" written over Huntington's football team posters.

OLD MAN
May they all burn in Christian hell.
PJ
(to the crowd)
Good evening. Hey. How was your summer?

Josie sees some girls whisper and laugh. She stops PJ.

JOSIE
Let’s just go. It’s not our fault this school has a gay problem.
PJ
They don’t hate us for being gay. They hate us for being gay untalented and ugly. Look at Mattieu.

Josie and PJ look at MATTIEU, a confident flamboyant teenage boy, surrounded by a girl squad. A Skater Bro fist-bumps him.

SKATER BRO
Rock on, man. Killing it. Love what you’re doing with the school play.
MATTIEU
Thanks betch!

Josie watches Mattieu walk past them. Looking across the fair, her face drops and everything goes slomo... Through the crowd, she sees a gorgeous cheerleader with perfect hair, delicate bone structure and straight white teeth. This is ISABEL, 17, Josie’s dream girl. She laughs as cotton candy blows into her face. Beside her stands an intimidatingly hot cheerleader who looks perpetually bored and unimpressed. She stands beside Isabel. This is BRITTANY, 17.

HAZEL (O.S.)
Hey guys!

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 8.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

Suddenly, a skinny aggressive nerdy girl with oversized clothes, a short haircut, and crooked glasses jumps into Josie’s eyeline, blocking Isabel.

This is HAZEL, 16, a burst of panicked energy.

JOSIE
Hey Hazel.
PJ
How was your summer? Were you with your uncle at the slop farm?
HAZEL
If you mean volunteering for the national meat association, then yes. How’d you break your arm, Josie?
PJ
She ate shit is what happened.
HAZEL
You ate literal shit?... Where?

Josie and PJ look at each other, unsure how to answer.

ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get ready... get wild... get horny and welcome our very own VIKINGS!!!

Everyone turns to see an intimidating pack of meaty FOOTBALL BROS storm through the crowd. They bulldoze past people, knock down signs and steal cotton candy from children. Moms toss their fliers, breathe deeply and jump up and down. One of them rubs her nipples till they’re hard.

HAZEL
Did you get beat up? Ooooo were you jumped? Was it spy camp? Did you fight in a war? Or was it juvi?
ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
And the man who will lead us to victory against Huntington... The one, the only, JEFFFFFF!!!!
HAZEL
Oh my god... It was juvi.

The crowd goes wild, as a beefy, smiling, idiotic teenage boy runs through the crowd like it’s a game. This is JEFF, 17. He chews gum obnoxiously, woofs and winks at a Mom.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 9.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

A short subservient Football Bro pushes through to get to Jeff, who he constantly follows around. This is TIM, 17.

TIM
Everyone out of the way!

Jeff struts up to kiss Isabel. The Football Bros around them cheer. Jealous, Josie watches.

HAZEL
That’s where you were this summer! What did you do?
ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
Now let's all get ready for our annual Mothers and Sons appreciation dance!

Jeff and the Football Bros sit down as Moms in the Rockbridge PTA, which is called M.I.L.F.S (Moms Invested in Living For Sons) scurry into position, heads down, backs to the audience in a line.

An upbeat Jesus song starts to play. The MILFS begin to turn around one by one. One wears a crop top with Jeff’s face on it. This is SHARON, 40s. Another wears a bikini with Jeff’s face on it. The last Mom to turn around gets the loudest cheers from the excited boys. She wears designer clothes, high heels and a fresh blowout. This is MRS. CALLAHAN, 40s. The other Moms look over at her jealously.

From across the fair, PJ oggles at her as well. Isabel looks upset as she watches Jeff cheer for the half naked Moms. Josie notices, as she continues staring at her.

PJ
Sucks you didn’t get any of your Mom’s genes, Hazel... Your Dad is so lucky.
HAZEL
He left her for a child ballroom dancer, PJ. You know that.
PJ
Oh right... So she’s single now?
HAZEL
Anyway, you guys want any tickets?

Hazel holds up a giant roll of tickets to PJ and Josie.

PJ
Why do you have so many?

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 9A.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

HAZEL
Uh, to ride the jumbo rides. Why else would you be here?
PJ
To fuck cheerleaders. What are you, eight years old?

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 10.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

HAZEL
I think your gaydar needs rewiring.
PJ
What are you talking about? My gaydar’s perfect.

We see the large crowd of people through PJ’s gaydar X-Ray. Everyone but one football player has GAY flashing above them.

PJ (CONT’D)
Wait a sec.

PJ puts her hand to her temple and squints. The guy slaps his male friend’s shoulder... Ding. A red GAY appears above him.

PJ (CONT’D)
No, it’s good...

Josie looks nervous as she notices Isbael and Brittany start to head in their direction.

JOSIE
Hey, can we leave before the MILFS cum all over Jeff?

Back onstage, the MILFS take their final pose. Mrs. Callahan and Sharon slide into their positions on the ground but Sharon covers Mrs. Callahan’s face behind her, blocking her from the crowd. The music cuts and the Moms stand.

Hazel sighs, sad for her Mom. The Moms smile, curtsy and blow kisses to the boys. Without breaking her happy expression, Mrs. Callahan says -

MRS. CALLAHAN
Are you seriously still mad, Sharon?
SHARON
No of course not. You just don’t seem that interested in being in the group these days. You’re busy. You have other things you enjoy doing more.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 11.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

MRS. CALLAHAN
I’m getting divorced!
SHARON
Exactly! And clearly that’s more important to you than attending meetings... Which is totally okay!

Sharon shrugs and walks away. The other Moms follow.

MRS. CALLAHAN
I missed one goddamn meeting for my court date.

Across the fair, Josie panics as she sees Isabel and Brittany get very close. She turns around, with her back to them. PJ looks at Josie confused and then finally notices Isabel and Brittany about to pass by. She steps toward them.

JOSIE
PJ, no, no, no -

PJ grabs Hazel’s cotton candy.

PJ
Here... Hey Brittany.
HAZEL
I paid six dollars for that.

Brittany and Isabel stop and turn toward them.

BRITTANY
PJ.
PJ
Love the fitted tee.
BRITTANY
Thank you. You look... religious.
PJ
Thanks... So... You going to ride the ferris wheel or...
BRITTANY
Mmmm... No. I’m going on the puke and duke. I need to pull trig.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 12.

55 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 55

Brittany sips a milkshake. An OLD MAN stumbles off the puke and duke and vomits.

PJ
I don’t think so. I think if anything you could eat something else and not throw it up. You too Isabel... Right, Josie?... Weren’t you just saying that to me?

Josie looks nervously at an uncomfortable Isabel.

JOSIE
Um... yeah, you look, I mean it’s almost concerning...
PJ
... Um anyway, do you want our tickets?

PJ grabs Hazel’s roll of tickets.

BRITTANY
Sure.

Brittany takes the entire roll and leaves with Isabel.

HAZEL
Could you have saved me one ticket PJ? That literally cost me three hundred and fifty dollars. I’ve now lost a total of three hundred and fifty six dollars.

Josie sighs and looks over at a poster of Jeff. His face smiles within a heart. His muscles and penis are photoshopped to look way larger and his teeth have a sparkle. It reads “GO JEFF GO! ROCKBRIDGE FALLS LOVES YOU”.

EXT. PARKING LOT - LATER

Josie and PJ pass by various cars with school banners. You can hear the faint sounds of the fair.

PJ
What was that? I literally set you up perfectly.
JOSIE
By saying I didn’t think she needed an eating disorder.

PJ sighs and smacks the hood of a car.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 13.

66 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 66

PJ
Fuck! I didn’t want to say it but now we’re fucked.
JOSIE
Let’s just face it. It’s never going to happen for me. Here or at Oberlin. I should just get it over with Mattieu.

Josie and PJ get into Josie’s janky old bannerless car.

PJ
It’s not your fault. The vibes were just off tonight. Was it just me or were there like no girls there? Also who the fuck was DJing? Felt like the bottom half of top forty.
JOSIE
Why are girls even into those types of guys anymore? Survival of the fittest should make us worship people who are like good with computers, not walking fridges.
PJ
I don’t know, Josie. I didn’t invent society...

PJ hears the sounds of a couple fighting and looks out the window. Across the lot, Isabel storms away from Jeff.

JEFF
Ugh, babe.... Baby! My teeny tiny little baby girl! Come on.
ISABEL
Why do you always have to flirt with other women?
JEFF
It doesn’t count if they’re not in high school.

Josie starts the car but PJ stops her, noticing the fight.

ISABEL
Especially Mrs. Reilly! She’s always saying that if you’re not Irish Catholic you’re going to hell. And I’m regular Christian!

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 14.

66 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 66

Nearing tears, Isabel gets really close to Josie’s car.

PJ
Josie, offer her a ride -

Jeff puts his hands over his ears and drops to his knees. He scrunches up his face. Isabel turns back, concerned.

JEFF
You’re hurting my head! You’re attacking me and it’s bringing back my migraine! Which is giving me PTSD of the other times I’ve had migraines.

Isabel rolls her eyes, turns and is about to pass by before -

PJ
Now -
JOSIE
Hey, Isabel, do you want a ride or -

Isabel opens Josie’s backseat and slams it shut. Shocked, Josie and PJ eye each other. Jeff gets in front of the car.

JEFF
Get out of the car.
ISABEL
You can’t tell me what to do!
JEFF
Okay, I’m sorry that I looked at Mrs. Reilly and lightly grazed her left tit, okay?
ISABEL
MOVE! You prick.
JOSIE
Yeah, Move... prick.

Jeff smacks the hood and points at Josie.

JEFF
Don’t talk to me you ugly bitch! I do not talk to girls in overalls.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 15.

66 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 66

JOSIE
They’re dickies!
JEFF
ISABEL GET OUT OF THE CAR!!

Jeff suddenly looks sad and starts ugly crying.

JEFF (CONT’D)
Why are you being so mean? You hurt me. You hurt my feelings.
PJ
Just drive.
JOSIE
I can’t.
ISABEL
He’ll move.
JEFF
Isabel, I’m getting tired here. I can only act out so many tactics.

Josie debates before pressing down on the gas. The car lurches forward a little and Jeff collapses dramatically.

JEFF (CONT’D)
Ahh!

JOSIE & PJ AHHHH!

PJ, Josie and Isabel shoot out of the car to see Jeff wail on the ground, holding his unscraped knee to his chest.

JOSIE
I’m so sorry! I thought you would move. I feel like ten out of ten times people move when a car is coming at them.
JEFF
AH!!!

66 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 66

Across the fair, Tim hears Jeff’s cries and panics.

TIM
Jeff? Jeff!

Tim runs to Jeff, leading a pack of Football Bros. They jump over cars and fail to roll across hoods. Tim kneels down.

TIM (CONT’D)
Jeff? Can you hear me? I’m here. I’m right here!

Football Bros trip over each other and fight their way over.

TIM (CONT’D)
Man down! MAN DOWN!
JEFF
Kyle? Is that you?
TIM
No, Kyle graduated. I’m Tim.

Pretending to disassociate, Jeff looks at him in confusion. Annoyed, Isabel rolls her eyes and leaves the parking lot.

JEFF
My leg is bleeding. I can’t play.
TIM
That’s not true! You’ll play and you’ll win!
(to Josie and PJ)
What did you do to him??

Josie and PJ panic, jump in the car and drive off. The Football Bros struggle to help each other up. Tim cradles Jeff like a crucified Jesus.

TIM (CONT’D)
What’s taking so long?!... Jeff... Jeff! Stay with me. They won’t get away with this.

Pre-lap the sound of a school bell ringing -

7

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Josie and PJ walk to and open their spray-painted lockers that read “Faggot #1” and “Faggot #2.”

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 17.

77 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 77

PJ
Seriously? I got Faggot #2 this time? You’re the sidekick. Not me.

Josie looks down the hall and notices a few students looking over at them. Some look away scared.

A tired JANITOR TED, 60s, carrying a paint bucket, approaches Josie’s locker and shuts it. Josie and PJ step out of the way, as he starts to paint over the spray paint.

JOSIE
Thanks Ted.

As PJ and Josie head down the hallway toward class, they see more students staring at them, some horrified, some in shock.

JOSIE (CONT’D)
Why’s everyone looking at us?
PJ
I dunno, did you period yourself again?

They turn and walk into -

8

INT. MR. G’S CLASSROOM - DAY

Where a few more students look at PJ and Josie suspiciously. In a mismatched classroom, lab tables are thrown everywhere. Posters say things like "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Pharmaceuticals!" and "Instead of getting pregnant, do after school sports!" In the back of the room, a Football Bro gets an obvious blowjob from a cheerleader.

As Josie and PJ find their seats, SYLVIE, 16 a girl with clam chowder stuck in her braces and CRYSTAL, 16, who looks like Silent Bob to Crystal’s Jay, nervously pass by.

JOSIE
Hey Sylvie.
SYLVIE
Hi.

As Josie and PJ find their seats, Hazel runs up, freaked out.

HAZEL
Holy shit, are you guys ok?
PJ
Yeah, why the fuck wouldn’t we be?

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 18.

88 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 88

A smiling, handsome-for-forty type, walks in, oblivious to the madness. This is MR. G, a former football player who never left Rockbridge.

MR. G
Alright, kiddos... Power down.

Hazel sits behind Josie and PJ, beside a stressed goody two shoes catholic girl, ANNIE, 17. Jeff posters hang from everyone’s desk. PJ rips hers up. Annie quickly leans over.

ANNIE
Hey! The prep club worked hard on those! That belongs to the school.
PJ
So does your vagina.
ANNIE
Nice try, PJ but my vagina belongs to the government.

Mr. G flashes his winning smile, chuckling to himself and then eventually realizes the students are ignoring him. He sees that the blowjob is still happening.

MR. G
Can you guys wrap that up?
TIM
One sec. He’s close.

Josie catches Isabel looking over nervously and looking away.

ANNIE
So... How’d you do it?
JOSIE
Do what?

Football Bro 1 cums while the rest of the class waits in silence. He and the hot cheerleader take their seats.

HAZEL
Look they’ve been through a lot. Just leave them alone.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 19.

88 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 88

Suddenly, Jeff makes a dramatic entrance, walking in with crutches. As he “struggles” to sit, the Football Bros glare at Josie and PJ. Other students look over too. Josie notices.

MR. G
Okie dokes, today we will be starting our architectural warfare unit. First assignment, making trebuchets.
PJ
(pronouncing)
Trey-boo-shay.
ANNIE
Okay, but like how did you did it? He’s twice your size.
HAZEL
God Annie, they went to juvi, okay? That’s how. They’re obviously traumatized. Just stop.

Annie gasps. Students look over. Suddenly, the speaker intercom turns on.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS (O.S.)
Hello. This is Principal Meyers with an important Huntington update. So listen to this girl.
SHELLY (O.S.)
Hi!... I mean -
(suddenly sullen)
Hi... Last night, after the fair, Huntington beasts beat me up, threw me to the ground and left me for dead. They broke four and a half of my bones. So watch your back. Or you could be me. A girl with four and a half broken bones.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS (O.S.)
You heard it here, kids. They’re porking our girls, our weakest links. Stay warned... And welcome back to school.

The intercom beeps off. All of the girls look terrified. TUCKER, a wolf-like Football Bro growls and pounds his fists.

SYLVIE
They’re going to pork us! We’re fucked!

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 20.

88 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 88

HAZEL
I’m screwed. I have endomitriosis.
TIM
Oh more violence, just what this school needs.

Everyone looks at Josie and PJ. Josie starts to freak out.

JEFF
(to Josie)
Hey! This is you -

Jeff holds up a glass beaker, brings it down and smashes it.

MR. G
Damn it, Jeff. Couldn’t you have done that analogy with your fist? You’re going to have to pay for that.
JEFF
I don’t care! I’m rich.
HAZEL
You brag now, but one day you’re going to go to a liberal arts college where you’ll have to hide the fact that you’re rich and benefit from it in silence.
JEFF
I’m going to state school, you dumb bitch.

The bell rings and students start to pack up. Josie and PJ are almost out the door before -

ISABEL
Hey -

Stunned, Josie and PJ turn around. Isabel and Brittany pack up at their desk.

ISABEL (CONT’D)
I heard you like fought Jeff to the * ground last night. *

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 21.

88 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 88

BRITTANY
Well I heard you guys ate literal shit and killed girls in juvi.
PJ
Really?! That’s awesome... I mean. What do you think about that?

Josie glares at Annie, who walks out quickly.

BRITTANY
It’s definitely... a surprise.
PJ
Surprise like “woah that’s impressive” or...
PRINCIPAL MEYERS (O.S.)
Excuse me... Could the ugly untalented gays please report to the principal’s office?
BRITTANY
Guess that’s you.

Brittany leaves. Isabel smiles at Josie on her way out.

PJ
Bye Brit!... Woah.

INT. PRINCIPAL MEYER’S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Nervous, Josie shakes while PJ eats from a candy bowl in an * empty principal’s office. A student council president ad * plays on the speaker. *

All over the walls are photos of Principal Meyers with various Football Bros. He does different youthful poses, including sticking his tongue out between his fingers in a V.

SHELLEY (O.S.) *
And I’m pro-life because what if * the fetus turns out to be a hot * guy? I’m Shelley! Vote for me for * Class President! *

PJ * I mean, isn’t it crazy? You and * me... In juvi. And they love it. *

JOSIE * It’s not a good thing, PJ. Why do * you think we’re in here? *

PJ * Relax. I’ll just say what women * murderers always say. Self defense. *

A short sexually repressed middle aged man with splotchy skin * and a large bald spot enters his office and sits across from * them at his desk. *

This is PRINCIPAL MEYERS, 50s, *

PRINCIPAL MEYERS * Hello untalented gays. *

JOSIE
Principal Meyers, I think there might be a mistake -
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
Shut up! You know why you’re here.
PJ
Uhh... I can’t remember doing anything ever except for being a perfect angel with a virgin body -

He screeches and then reels himself back in, barely holding his fury.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 23.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS
FOR committing a crime against Jeff, our Quart-er-back and the most good-looking all-American red- blooded muscular man this town has ever seen. You think you can just do a little hit and run and show up to school the next morning?
JOSIE
That’s not what happened -
PJ
Yeah, actually my Dad was in a hit and run and that’s not what it was at all. We got out of the car and talked before we drove off.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
The Homecoming game with Huntington is nearly a month away. Do you know what this means to Rockbridge? Do you know how long we’ve been working toward this??!!...
PJ
Yes. Obviously.

She nods to a giant sign that reads “The Huntington game: 20 years in the making!”

JOSIE
Look, I can explain -
PJ
Yeah I can explain that Jeff is a psychotic murderer and we were protecting ourselves.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
Sure, you’re all victims. And girls are always right.
JOSIE
That’s not what she’s saying -
PJ
Uh it kind of is! What were we supposed to do? Let him murder us in cold blood?

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 24.

1010 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1010

PRINCIPAL MEYERS
How come you can’t learn how to buck up and protect yourselves without running someone over huh?
PJ
Well maybe we can’t. Maybe there’s no other way to take on pieces of meat twice our size. Ever thought about that, Principal Meyers?
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
You know what girls... I’m expelling you both -
JOSIE
NO! No, no, no -
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
For fucking with the game and for being a threat of violence to our students -
PJ
Whatever -
JOSIE
Wait please, Principal Meyers, this won’t happen again! We promise!
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
Oh really?... How?
JOSIE
Um...
PJ
I don’t know, we’ll like learn from books!
JOSIE
We’ll start a self defense club!

Surprised and excited, PJ looks at Josie. Meyers’ pauses.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS
What is that? Like a fight club?
PJ
Yes! But for girls. So it’ll be like... cute.

Meyers thinks and taps his fingers.

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 24A.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS
You know what? I don’t care! *

Meyers gestures for Josie and PJ to leave. When they open the * door, Tim is about to knock. *

PRINCIPAL MEYERS (CONT’D) *
Beat the shit out of each other * while you perform the Vagina * Monologues. Just stay in your lane * until you’re munching beaver at * Wesleyan and don’t go near any of * our players again! *

TIM * Wait, were they not expelled? *

MEYERS * Tim, go back to class. *

Meyers shuts the door. Tim blocks Josie and PJ from leaving. *

TIM * I don’t know who you are or where * you came from but if you pull a * stunt like that again, if you even * step one foot in Jeff’s direction * before the game, I’ll make sure * your parents wish they hadn’t * fucked and conceived you. I’ll make * them wish they hadn’t fucked at * all. *

EXT. BLEACHERS - LATER

Josie, PJ and Hazel eat lunch on a high bleacher. They pop balloons that read “Get Better Jeff” and “RIP.”

PJ
That was genius.
HAZEL
I can’t believe they’re letting you start a fight club.
JOSIE
We’re not. I don’t know why I said that. I’ve just never been to the principal’s office before.
PJ
What do you mean? Of course we are.
JOSIE
No, we’re not. I wasn’t being serious!
PJ
Josie, did you see how Isabel and Brittany were looking at us? You heard the announcements! Girls are terrified they’re going to be porked and killed! They need this.
JOSIE
PJ, we’d be misleading them.
PJ
Guys do that all the time. We can too. That’s the point of feminism.
JOSIE
You don’t care about feminism. Your favorite show is Entourage.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 26.

1212 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1212

PJ
You’re missing the point!
JOSIE
PJ!... WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT!
HAZEL
You fought girls in Juvi.
PJ
We were obviously lying about that.
HAZEL
What? Why would you lie?
PJ
First of all, lying is easy and it rules. Second, self-defense isn’t hard. It’s instinctual common sense. You try to punch me in the face, I stop it from happening, whatever, I don’t care. Look, here’s how we do this.
HAZEL
We start with taekwondo and air punches!

Hazel takes out her notebook and starts taking notes.

PJ
Who do we know? Sammie Stern is my cousin’s best friend’s tutor so I have an in. Who else? Josie, Genevieve Fisher cheats off you in geography, right? She was in brownies with Isabel.
HAZEL
I can bring Stella Rebecca.
PJ
... You know Stella Rebecca?... She models at car conventions in Chicago on weekends.
HAZEL
Yeah, we’re family friends.
JOSIE
You, me, Stella and Genevieve Fisher hitting and tackling each other? That sounds like a disaster.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 27.

1212 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1212

Josie watches Jeff race onto the field, throw his crutches down, run to other Football Bros and chest bump with them. They bark and howl like dog wolves. Then they chase the mascot, tackle and beat him in the background.

PJ
What are you talking about? That sounds incredible. Josie, listen to me. Girls join the club, they’re grateful to us, we build a community, we bond, we share, adrenaline is flowing. Next thing you know, Brittany and Isabel are kissing us on the mouth. Admit it. Your desperate horny instincts are telling you to agree with me...

Excited, PJ stares intensely at Josie, who starts to crack.

PJ (CONT’D)
Think about NYU. This is it.
JOSIE
If we do this, we’re just running the risk of us becoming even more bigger losers.
PJ
Not true. We’re right at the bottom. We can only go up from here.

Excited, PJ stares intensely at Josie, who starts to crack.

JOSIE
Ugh PJ...
HAZEL
... I think it’s a great idea. There’s a serious lack of female solidarity at this school!
PJ
Not the point Hazel.

Josie and PJ enter the gym to see Annie sitting on the floor beside few Nerdy Girls. They look up at Hazel apprehensively.

HAZEL
Alright, no more questions. But again, get ready to get totally fucked up!

Hazel follows their stares to Josie and PJ. She runs over.

PJ
What the fuck? Where’s Stella?
HAZEL
She’s modeling at a car convention.
PJ
But it’s Monday!... These girls are ugly.
JOSIE
That’s a great point. Let’s call it off before someone cool shows up.

Sylvie and Crystal enter.

SYLVIE
Hey Hazel! Thanks for inviting me. I love David Fincher.
PJ
I mean, I guess maybe Sylvie’s cute if she gained 20 pounds... And also got a nose job.

Josie anxiously takes in all the girls looking up at them. PJ thinks about it for a beat, then looks at Josie and nods.

JOSIE
Alright... Hi guys -

PJ pushes past Josie and aggressively throws her backpack to the floor, causing the girls to jump back.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 29.

1414 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1414

PJ
Listen up, you cunt-sucking pieces of shit! Welcome to our fucking fight club!

The girls appear petrified and confused. Sylvie starts crying. PJ looks at Josie, who shakes her head.

JOSIE
Our self-defense club.

Hazel takes out a notebook and pen. Sylvie wipes her tears. PJ starts pacing back and forth in front of the girls.

PJ
As you all know, Huntington is on the prowl. And they’re picking on the weak and defenseless, meaning all of you. So we’re going to teach you to not take shit! We start with dropkicks, tackling and knifeplay. Then punchbucket where we throw you in a bucket and punch you till you bleed.
JOSIE
But maybe first stretching... and like trust falls.
SYLVIE
Is this like what happened to you in juvi?

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 30.

1414 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1414

PJ
No, it was way crazier. I mean, one time, this girl starts punching me in the rain. I fall to the ground. It’s muddy. I get up. I’m blind... I punch her square in the face. Broke her fucking nose... Josie?
JOSIE
Um... things did get kind of crazy. This one girl tried to poison my lunch with rat kill so after drill practice, I found her outside. Her and her two friends tried to fight me but I beat the living shit out of them. One died.

PJ shakes her head. The girls look confused.

ANNIE
... So you killed a girl?
JOSIE
Well... the ambulance came and brought her back to life so it was chill. Beef squashed.
PJ
Yeah, so since she killed a girl, Josie’s going to start us off by showing you all how to effectively throw a solid punch...

Confused, Josie looks from PJ to the eager girls.

PJ (CONT’D)
Josie... would you... kindly step forward, please?
JOSIE
Um... No.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 31.

1414 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1414

PJ
What’s the problem?
JOSIE
Who am I gonna punch?

PJ glances at Hazel, who looks scared.

PJ
Me... Just punch me.
JOSIE
You know what?... The punching came a lot easier to you in juvi. I’m more of a tackling kind of girl -
PJ
When you killed the girl though, you threw a solid punch -
JOSIE
I’m not doing this to you!
PJ
Josie, I know how to take a punch.
JOSIE
Oh, really?
PJ
YES. REALLY. Remember?... Come on.

Josie swings a heavy punch, knocking PJ to the ground.

GIRLS
Ohhh!!!!
HAZEL
Nice!

Hazel extends a high five to Josie, who ignores it. PJ curls into a ball on the floor. Annie raises her hand.

ANNIE
Is there an advisor for the club? We’ll be suspended if there isn’t.

PJ sits up with blood dripping down her face.

MR. G
The Holocaust. It happened!

A GOTH KID raises his hand skeptically. Mr. G looks at him.

MR. G (CONT’D)
Yes, it did.

Goth Kid lowers his hand.

MR. G (CONT’D)
But how?

There’s candy on his desk and the chalkboard reads “Treaty of Versailles.” The students stand at various stations around * the room. A proud PJ has butterfly stitches on her nose. *

MR. G (CONT’D)
The seeds were sown in the Treaty of Versailles, which we will re- enact today.
BRITTANY
You want us to do the Holocaust?
MR. G
No, I want you to make the Treaty in a way that will prevent it. This here’s Germany, that’s Britain, * over by Tucker is France - *

In the back of the class, Tucker growls and rattles his cage.

MR. G (CONT’D)
And I’m America.

Mr. G sits and opens a magazine. PJ looks at Josie and nods to him.

JOSIE
No. Absolutely not. *

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 32A.

PJ
He wouldn’t even show up. He’s too busy with his divorce.

She cheated.
JOSIE
No, I’m saying we’re not doing that again. I broke your fucking nose.

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 33.

1515 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1515

PJ
Yeah and I’ve never had so many girls stare at me in my life. Look * at Stella Rebecca. *

At the Germany table, Stella waves. *

PRINCIPAL MEYERS (O.S.)
Another morning update. The library’s out of use again. Huntington shot up our remaining books... So there will be no reading again this year. Thank you.

Scared girls look at Josie and PJ. Nearby, Hazel writes “Hitler” on her name tag.

HAZEL
Um okay... I say, we do the Holocaust.
(out of character)
Damn, this is fucked up.
MR. G
No, Hazel, this is before Hitler. He’s not here.
HAZEL
Oh.

She starts to leave.

MR. G
Where are you going?

Buff Rev. (05/18/22) 34.

1515 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 1515

HAZEL
To the bathroom. You just said I’m not supposed to be here.

She leaves. Mr. G looks confused. Sylvie comes up to Josie. Isabel eavesdrops. The Treaty of Versailles re-enactment * happens in the background. *

SYLVIE
Hey, thank you so much for last night. I’ve been thinking like, if I can learn how to punch like that and Huntington found me in an alleyway and I only had like a stick, maybe I wouldn’t die.
PJ
That’s great Sylvie but sadly Josie doesn’t want to do it again.
ANNIE
As Great Britain, we won the war. Germany, you lost. Give us your candy and we'll let you live. *

A student in Germany lamely walks over with candy and shrugs. *

SYLVIE * Wait why? Last night was like so * empowering! *

BRITTANY * How about you give up some of your * candy and everything will be chill? *

Brittany takes the candy back from Great Britain and * brings it back to her desk. Pieces fall everywhere. *

ISABEL * What was empowering? *

Josie jumps back, not realizing Isabel was there. *

STELLA * Fine, our candy tastes bad anyways. * We want some of the French shit. *

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 35.

Everyone grabs at the candy. Annie sits on her pile. Isabel waits for Josie to answer. PJ looks at Josie anxiously.

ANNIE
We need diplomacy!!

Tim notices Isabel talking to Josie and looks suspicious. Beside him, Jeff bangs the candy together like rocks.

JOSIE
We had a meeting... for our fight club.There’s like a serious lack of female solidarity at this school.

Suddenly, Hazel runs in, still wearing the Hitler name-tag.

HAZEL
And even though I am just a baby right now, I will avenge this!
MR. G
Every time. Every goddamn time.
ANNIE
You’re not a baby, Hazel. You’re 30 years old.

The bell rings. Isabel looks at Josie and leaves with the rest of the class. PJ smiles at Josie.

Um. Dimitri committed suicide the first week of school, Mr. G.
MR. G
Sure, he did.
PJ
Anyway, we wanted to know if you’d be our club advisor.
MR. G
What kind of club?
PJ
Um it’s like a club for women -
JOSIE
Yeah to talk about our periods, our declining egg counts, misogyny, how to internalize it -
MR. G
Why don’t you ask one of the female teachers?
PJ
Because we hate them.
MR. G
Makes sense. Listen, I feel for you girls. I know it’s hard with your... organs, but I’m retiling the bathroom, I have my shifts at the co-op, getting a divorce.
PJ
We just thought this might be a way to take your mind off things.
MR. G
My Mom says I need a new hobby.

Josie and PJ walk into the gym to find more girls than the last meeting. Girls punch the air, palm read and do homework.

JOSIE
How many girls go to this school?
PJ
Again they’re all sixes at best. We need a better marketing strategy.

Hazel takes out mats, weights, punching bags and gloves.

HAZEL
Hey guys! The order came in!
PJ
Thanks Hazel. Do you think we know how to use those?

Panicking, they both look at the doors, where another girl lets in more girls, including a waify hot girl with a chic French girl vibe. This is STELLA REBECCA, 17. She waves.

PJ (CONT’D)
Well at least Stella Rebecca is here.
JOSIE
Should we be stressed? I’m stressed.
MR. G. (O.S.)
Hey queens!

Shocked, PJ and Josie look at Mr. G approach.

MR. G. (CONT’D)
Let’s get it popping!
JOSIE
Alright, hey everyone...

No one listens. A few girls throw a weight back and forth. It lands on one of their feet. Eventually, PJ walks to a mop, rips off the top, brings the stick back and slams it down.

Salmon Rev. (04/26/22) 38.

OKAY SHUT UP AND LISTEN! Thank you! This isn’t a little hangout. There are some rules we need to establish! First is LISTEN! Second is... also listen and third is... be on time. What time is it?
ANNIE
Three thirty.
PJ
THREE THIRTY! This club starts at 3:15, not 3:16, not 3:17, not any other time, but the doors close at THREE FIFTEEN!

Hazel jots this down in her notebook. Behind PJ, the gym doors silently open, as Brittany and Isabel walk in. Everyone stares ahead at them in panic. PJ misinterprets.

PJ (CONT’D)
Yeah, that’s right. NO EXCEPTIONS. I don’t care if you’re like “Oh I needed to stay to get extra help in math cause I need a full ride cause my Mom lives in a trailer and she loves her boyfriend more than me.” Yada yada yada. I don’t give a shit. My Dad left me and I’m still punctual!

Josie gestures to Brittany and Isabel. PJ turns around.

PJ (CONT’D)
Oh uh, hey, uhh... You guys can um... you can find a spot. We were just... getting started.

Brittany and Isabel sit beside the other nervous girls. One of them wipes the snack off her mouth. PJ looks at Brittany.

PJ (CONT’D)
So, today's exercise will involve body... contact. Gonna do some wrestling... kind of stuff...
ANNIE
Um, I’m sorry. I thought we weren’t allowed to be late.

Salmon Rev. (04/26/22) 39.

ISABEL
Oh, we can go.
ANNIE
Yeah, cause she just said you weren’t allowed to be so -
JOSIE
No, no, she meant for next meeting -
PJ
Yeah, for next meeting. Starting next week, you have to be on time.
ANNIE
Hmm... Okay... I’m sorry. I just want to make sure this is a self- defense club, right? Where we can learn to protect ourselves against like football players... Like Jeff.
SYLVIE
And Huntington, right? Cause they’re going to pork us... Oh my god they’re going to pork us.
STELLA
I thought we were fighting each other for money. There’s a cash prize, right?
ISABEL
I thought it was to be part of like a local underprivileged female community. I just want to give back.
BRITTANY
And my identity is completely attached to hers... so I just kind of go wherever she goes.

PJ nods at Isabel and Brittany, then looks at Josie and raises her eyebrows. Josie takes in Isabel looking at them.

JOSIE
Well... looks like everyone’s here for a good reason.

Yeah so let's just get started.

Brittany hesitates. Annie shoots her hand up and stands.

PJ (CONT’D)
Great...

PJ pushes her to the ground. The girls gasp.

ANNIE
What the hell? You didn’t warn me.
PJ
We didn’t get warnings in juvi... Girls popped up out of nowhere.
MR. G
Girls I don’t know about this -
JOSIE
Why don’t we just go slow?
PJ
Fine... I won’t even do anything... Work with your instincts.

Annie gulps before... She pushes PJ to the ground. The other girls smile and cheer a bit. PJ gets up, annoyed.

PJ (CONT’D)
Great. Let’s go again.

A little more confident, Annie smiles a bit and prepares her stance. PJ smiles and roughly tackles her to the ground.

ANNIE
FUCK! My back!
MR. G
Okay, shut it down!
JOSIE
Oh my god! Are you okay?
PJ
She’s fine.

Salmon Rev. (04/26/22) 41.

Annie screams. PJ rolls her eyes. As Tim walks by in the hallway, he hears this and pokes his head in the gym window.

JOSIE
Wait, Mr. G, please. I know we’re not super well trained but... Huntington’s not going away and we need this.

All the girls looking up at her, nervous but inspired. She takes in the hold she has on them, including Isabel.

JOSIE (CONT’D)
Look, I know this stuff seems really scary right now, but the only way we’re going to be able to defend ourselves is by learning from each other, right? I mean that’s why we started this.
PJ
Yeah, I mean, we do know more than most of you but we still have to figure it out and I guess try shit and experiment with each other -
JOSIE
And we promise you, that by game day weekend, you won’t need to be scared anymore because... because -
PJ
Because we’ll all be fucking pros! Like... Crystal, after this, you’re never going to get assaulted on your birthday again!

Crystal smiles and does double fist pumps.

JOSIE
Yeah sorry that happened two years in a row.
SYLVIE
And for me, I’ll be able to kill my stepdad!
STELLA
And I, I’m going to like finally reverse-stalk my stalker!

INT. PRINCIPAL MEYERS’ OFFICE - DAY

An angry Tim and Jeff stand over Meyers at his desk.

TIM
You need to shut them down.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
I can’t do that! That’ll just make them cooler.
JEFF
Then let’s just like kill them. I mean, not like murder but... they end up dead.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
It’s not in the budget.

Jeff rolls his eyes and starts doing pull ups, stressed. Mrs. Callahan knocks on the door and steps in.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS (CONT’D)
God, for the last time, I can’t put myself between the milfs and the divorcee with the pedophile ex.
MRS. CALLAHAN
What is going with this club?
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
Great, more complaints! Look, I need this like I need another school shooting. I am up to here, no in fact, here, with Huntington bullshit. This whole female trend is fucking me up the ass. Now, the school board’s looking into every rape case from 76 to 2012.
MRS. CALLAHAN
Well, I’m sorry to hear that Jon but every night, my

daughter comes home covered in soot and looks like a little fucked up British orphan in a musical! Listen, my brain and work ethic are not being put to use right now. If you help me with the MILFS, I can help you take this club down.
TIM
Principal Meyers, sir, our team is hurting, our quarterback is at his most vulnerable and his girlfriend is off doing girl karate! We’ve been waiting to crush Huntington for years.
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
I’m well aware of that Tim! God. What is happening to this town?
MRS. CALLAHAN
These girls are reverse psychologizing everyone is what’s happening. Three weeks ago, we all hated them. We just need to get back to that.
JEFF
Let’s Jennifer Lawrence them. We blast them with positive press, some buzzfeed articles, a couple pics of them eating pizza. Give it two months, everyone hates them.
TIM
We don’t have two months. Their fake feminist hypnosis is spreading like a virus. But they’re not built to last. The only way they’ll fall is from the inside. We need to find a rat, a weak link.
MRS. CALLAHAN
Yeah and we need to find dirt on them. There’s got to be something. Everyone’s embezzled once. Don’t you have a thing of files on students that list if they’re criminals and their grades and secrets and shit?
PRINCIPAL MEYERS
I don’t know where those are. Okay, look...

If you really want your daughter to start looking less ugly and if you make these girls disappear help make it happen, then maybe I can help you with the milfs.

Mrs. Callahan takes this in, smiles and thinks to herself.

MRS. CALLAHAN
Do we know what juvi they went to?

A lightbulb goes off. Impressed, Meyers, Jeff and Tim all look at Mrs. Callahan. Jeff stares at her tits.

JEFF
You’re doing really smart ideas...
MRS. CALLAHAN
Thanks.

INT. GYM - AFTERNOON

source 21

The club sits in a circle of colorful mats, scooters, hoola hoops, etc.

JOSIE
So um... Thanks for letting us do something a little different today. We know the club has become a place to feel empowered physically but we think it can also be a safe space to talk and open up.

Isabel smiles at Josie. Most of the girls nod hesitantly.

PJ
Okay, so whose been raped? Raise your hand.

No one raises their hand.

PJ (CONT’D)
Grey area stuff counts too.

Everyone raises their hand. PJ’s about to talk before -

SYLVIE
Well, everyone knows about the situation with my stepdad.

Sylvie looks at everyone seriously. They look worried.

SYLVIE (CONT’D)
He’s obsessed with friday movie nights. It’s like I get it, you’re my new dad, whatever.

Green Rev. (04/25/22) 49.

STELLA
Every time I call the police about my stalker, they tell me to fill out an online form. And then the form tells me to call so I call and then they tell me that they can’t get involved until he tries to kill me and he keeps saying he’s going to but that doesn’t count so yeah it’s just like annoying....
BRITTANY
Well, I’ve been assaulted like a million times but I’m more annoyed that everyone knows me for being beautiful and popular and no one knows that I’m smart and super driven. I literally own a jewelry business and no one talks about it!

Confused, everyone looks at each other.

BRITTANY (CONT’D)
See!
HAZEL
Well, ever since my parents’ divorce started, my Mom’s been doing a mid life crisis. And every time I try to call my Dad about it, he’s like “Oh I’m sorry, I can’t talk, I’m at a child ballroom dance competition.”
PJ
Anyway, Brittany, I ... I’m sorry -
JOSIE
I can go next... Um I don’t really like to talk about juvi and what happened this summer but I trust you guys... I know everyone gives us props for juvi because it’s badass or whatever. And yeah, I guess horrible nights of like hazing is pretty sick. I mean I survived Tributes, literal tributes where we’d be given splintered wood and pocket knives and we’d have to fight while people bet on us and I still hear their screams at night and I probably forever...

JOSIE (CONT’D)
But the worst part is that I was just there and I should have never even been there in the first place because I didn’t do anything wrong and somehow I’m the one who left with a broken arm... It was humiliating and I was miserable the whole time and I just let it happen to me cause I wasn’t strong enough.... But I’m realizing I don’t need to be that person anymore... Cause of you guys. I’m so grateful for what this club’s become, especially from where we started... No one ever gave a shit about me or what I had to say until now. Not really. Anyway... does anyone else want to go?

Green Rev. (04/25/22) 50.

2121 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 2121

Everyone’s riveted, especially Isabel. PJ looks hurt.

ISABEL
Um... Well I’ve never told anyone this either... Jeff took me to Greece for my birthday last year and before we left he was like when are you getting your brazilian? And I was like I don’t want to and then he was like I thought we talked about this and then he didn’t talk to me until I booked an appointment and I was mad but then he also treated me to getting my nails done and hair done and a new bikini. So anyway, I get over it, I’m excited for the trip... But then he just ends up fucking my sister the whole time... Which sucked...

Green Rev. (04/25/22) 51.

2121 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 2121

Isabel tears up. No one knows what to say.

JOSIE
I’m really sorry Isabel.
ISABEL
I mean he said he wouldn’t do it again... But sometimes I wonder if the only reason I’m with him... is because we’re both so much hotter than everyone else at this school.

Everyone nods supportively. Suddenly, everyone notices Mr. G weeping, tears pouring.

MR. G
I’m going through a divorce... Wow, that felt so good to say. Wait, did I just talk about my feelings? Damn, men do need therapy.

He scoffs and shakes his head in regret.

JOSIE
Okay, let’s wrap up a little early today... That was a great start.

PJ looks pissed. Disturbed, everyone slowly gets up and the parachute deflates. Sylvie cries. Isabel walks up to Josie.

ISABEL
Hey! Um thank you for that. Uh I don’t know what you’re up to tomorrow but I was going to study for Mr. G’s women murdered in history test if you...
JOSIE
Oh um... yeah... sure.

Isabel smiles and walks away, leaving Josie shook.

INT. MRS. CALLAHAN'S FRONT HALLWAY

Annoyed, Hazel enters the house and hears sex noises. A guy loudly orgasms.

HAZEL
Mom?

With sex hair, Mrs. Callahan exits her bedroom and ties up her robe. Hazel looks confused.

MRS. CALLAHAN
Hi honey... How come you’re home so early?

Hazel’s face drops as she sees JEFF leave the bedroom, eating teddy bear crackers. He wears shoulder pads and a jockstrap.

JEFF
Don’t worry. I just cummed.

Disgusted, Hazel looks at Mrs. Callahan.

MRS. CALLAHAN
... What?... I had a long day.
HAZEL
Are you kidding me?! Now I have two pedophile parents?
MRS. CALLAHAN
I don’t need your judgment, Hazel.
HAZEL
Is this what you’re doing now that you’re not in the MILFs?
MRS. CALLAHAN
Sorry if I’m having a little fun.
HAZEL
Why can’t you find something else to do with your time, like join a community garden or something!
MRS. CALLAHAN
(gasps)
Because I’ve been a little distracted, doing stuff like, I don’t know, fighting for alimony so you can blow my money at Goodwill and like eat to stay alive!

HAZEL
You’re going crazy.
MRS. CALLAHAN
You know, I don’t like your attitude lately, ever since you joined this club.
HAZEL
Well this club is actually really important to me because it’s the only way I can avoid this. You could try being excited.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 53.

MRS. CALLAHAN
I would! I really would if you were doing it with girls who valued your commitment and loyalty. I’ve told you that.
HAZEL
They’re my friends.
MRS. CALLAHAN
Oh sweetie. No, they’re not.

Mrs. Callahan looks at Hazel pitifully. Hazel looks torn. Jeff continues eating.

HAZEL
You know... you’re just jealous that I’m the one doing spreadsheets and emailing now and that I’m part of a group that actually likes me.
MRS. CALLAHAN
They only like you when you’re useful to them, take it from me. I’d give it two weeks before they drop you.

Offended, Hazel goes to her room and slams the door.

EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

Stella, Brittany and Isabel lead Josie, PJ and an exhausted Hazel to a cheerleader fundraiser/car clearance sale. A creepy photographer waits by an old corvette that has a “50% off” sign on it. Beside him is an excited Old Man (Ted Ferguson) petting the hood. A Rockbridge banner hangs under a long table with cheerleader posters and a foot fetish station.

STELLA
I’m so excited. Great turnout, right?
OLD MAN
Hi ladies!

Two Old Men wait around the corvette ogling Stella. She hands Josie and Hazel a giant box of business cards. They have a photo of her in a bikini on a car, with her email.

STELLA
If you can just hand these out, that would be great.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 53A.

Stella goes in front of the corvette, while Isabel goes to sign and kiss autographs on the cheerleader flyers. Josie helps her take out ziplocs with dirty old underwear.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 54.

ISABEL
I don’t know why anyone would want any of these. They’re so old and dirty.

PJ follows Brittany, holding a box of various shoes.

PJ
So like where do you source the beads from for your bracelets?
BRITTANY
Michaels. I have blue beads and red ones and some green ones too.
PJ
Would you like, would you make me a custom one?
BRITTANY
Sure.

They smile at each other as Brittany sits down and a guy starts touching her foot. PJ walks back to Josie and Hazel, who hand out Stella’s business cards to Dads trickling. Hazel hunches over and moans. Dazed, Josie smiles to herself.

PJ
Brittany said she’d make me a custom bracelet.
JOSIE
Really? That’s awesome. Look at you. Congrats.

Head in her hands, Hazel makes a loud weird tired sound.

PJ
Thank you. Do you want to celebrate and get chicken on a stick tonight?
JOSIE
Oh I can’t, I have plans with Isabel.

Excited, Josie smiles at PJ, who looks surprised. Hazel moans loudly. A couple Dads look over.

PJ
Jesus, Hazel. Are you constipated?
HAZEL
I couldn’t sleep. My Mom was up all night fucking the meathead.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 55.

Which meathead?
HAZEL
You know, like the crybaby.
PJ
You’re um... You’re hanging out with Isabel?
HAZEL
The guy with the hair. He’s dating the cheerleader.
JOSIE
Yeah, we’re just getting food somewhere.
HAZEL
He runs a lot.
PJ
Food like... at an establishment? Like outside of school?
JOSIE
Yeah... Do you need the address?
HAZEL
You know, like the main guy. He runs and catches things. No he throws things.
PJ
No, you just... you didn’t tell me.
JOSIE
I mean, it’s not a big deal. She’s still with Jeff.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 56.

Confused, Josie and PJ stare at Hazel. Josie panics. Isabel looks over, confused. Josie leans in and whispers -

JOSIE
Wait... that’s who was with your Mom last night? Jeff? Your Mom is fucking Jeff?
HAZEL
Or it could be her safe word.
PJ
Jeff is his name, Hazel. He’s dating Isabel. What is wrong with you!?!
HAZEL
I’m sorry, I just get the hot girls confused. I thought he was seeing that other cheerleader who does practice-head in biology.

Josie looks at Isabel. PJ takes in how excited Josie is.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 57.

HAZEL (CONT’D)
Whatever, guys, just please don’t tell anyone. I don’t need this getting out about my Mom. She’s already having a really hard time with the Milfs. And now I’m not getting any sleep. And it’s really affecting my productivity levels.

Josie catches PJ looking at her criticallly. Suddenly, Stella falls off the hood loudly. They look over to see her waddle back up.

PJ
You look amazing, Stella!

Josie and Isabel laugh over smoothies, as they do homework.

JOSIE
Actually... Isabel...
ISABEL
What?... Have I gained weight?
JOSIE
No, it’s not that. I’d tell you.

Nervous, Isabel smiles as Josie looks at her.

ISABEL
Do my teeth look fucked up or something?

Isabel brushes her fingers against Josie’s. Josie debates.

JOSIE
No but... Jeff is cheating on you.
ISABEL

JOSIE
Oh um. I can’t say.
ISABEL
You can’t say?!
JOSIE
Okay, it’s Mrs. Callahan. Hazel told me cause she can’t sleep. I mean, apparently they’re just up like all night every night. It’s just nonstop. And I just figured since you think cheating is bad now, that you’d -

INT. CAFETERIA - DAY

The mascot, wearing a jersey and nothing else, hands out game day fliers. Jeff posters hang from some of the tables. Jeff waits in line for food. The Lunch Lady puts a fruit cup on his tray. Tim looks at it suspiciously.

TIM
Woah, woah, WOAH. There’s pineapple in this. Jeff’s allergic to pineeapple!

Tim chucks the fruit cup across the cafeteria. It lands on the wall and splashes GOTH KID.

GOTH KID
Well I wasn’t going to do it but this is the last straw.

He opens his journal and starts writing a plan titled “Blow up the School.”

Tim points to a poster that reads “Pineapple is worse than drugs!” The Lunch Lady cries as Football Bros escort her out. Jeff and the other Football Bros sit down. Tim cuts up all the players’ steaks. Jeff takes a bite.

JEFF
Hmm, meat’s a little overdone today.

Across the cafeteria, PJ sits with a stressed Josie.

PJ
How was it last night?
JOSIE
... Ughhh... Not good, dude.
PJ
Wait why? What happened?

Suddenly, the cafeteria doors burst open and Isabel storms in, followed by Hazel. She blows past the mascot, who falls. His fliers fly everywhere.

Shoot. She’s walking really fast. She usually walks slow.
ISABEL
Are you sleeping with Mrs. Callahan?
JEFF
Babe, what’s up? Looking beautiful today! How are you? How’s your day?
ISABEL
Bad. Are you having sex with her?
JEFF
I’m helping her with her taxes.
HAZEL
Aren’t you in eighth grade algebra?
JEFF
I can’t answer the question. I don’t know how to read.
ISABEL
She’s asking you to your face!
JEFF
Damn it. That always works.
ISABEL
Are you cheating on me again?
JEFF
Baby, no! Look in my honest eyes. I’m not sleeping with her.

He makes his eyes really big to prove he’s not lying.

TIM
Because he’s railing her! And then leaving! And then sleeping over at my place. Because guess who has a pull out water mattress and unlimited snacks from his mom?

Proud, Tim looks at all the Football Bros, who look like they’re going to kill him. Tim gulps.

JEFF
No, I’m not!!

HAZEL
Yes, you are!
JEFF
Shut up nerd, I fucked your mom!... Wait, fuck.
ISABEL
Yeah, we’re done.

She storms away.

HAZEL
You know, I do really think it’s fucked up what you did to Isabel. But I have noticed a positive change in my mom since she’s had a sexual outlet and so you know... I want to say thanks -
JEFF
Leave! Fuck. FUCK! I feel something. It's like angry but upset and also like it's my fault.
TIM
Sad? Guilty?
JEFF
No! God, no. I guess I’m mad then.

Across the cafeteria, PJ looks at Josie, who gets up and heads to Isabel. Disappointed, PJ eventually follows.

ISABEL
I’m getting revenge. I’m about to fuck up some football players. And I’m buying a gun.
SYLVIE
Hell yeah! I’ll get my stepdad’s.
ANNIE
What about like egging?
SYLVIE
Yeah and the eggs are smelly. Like we don’t refrigerate them!

Isabel stares at a nervous Josie for a few moments. Eventually, she inches toward Josie, who edges closer. They are about to kiss before... PJ smacks the hood of the car.

ISABEL
No matter what... You guys have made me feel so strong and independent and proud. You’re all so kind and brave and funny and smell good have really nice hair... This has been like the most special experience I’ve ever had... And I’m not going to forget it.

Green Rev. (04/25/22) 69.

JOSIE
... Yeah, me too.

Emotional, Isabel and Josie stare deeply at each other. Everyone notices. Sylvie mouths “Aww” to a moved Crystal. Brittany smirks. Annie rolls her eyes. Hurt, PJ fumes.

PJ
Great.
HAZEL
PJ, I’m sorry that you didn’t get what you wanted out of this. But I think the rest of us did.
PJ
Really? Well good for fucking you, Hazel. I’m glad you finally wrote one email. You accomplished a lot.
HAZEL
I actually did cause I basically ran this club for you and Josie.
JOSIE
Hey, let’s just... calm down a bit.
PJ
You did? I’m sorry. I didn’t notice all 80 pounds of you. You must have really kicked ass here. You seriously think you’re the reason we have the club?
HAZEL
The reason for the club? No. But I can share that with everyone if you like.
JOSIE
Hazel, come on.
PJ
You are so ungrateful. You’re lucky we even let you be part of this.

Salmon Rev. (04/26/22) 70.

HAZEL
Well, PJ, you’re a liar...

Hazel smirks and Josie freaks out. PJ looks unfazed.

PJ
Well... you have no friends and a skank as a Mom, so...

Shocked, everyone looks at a hurt Hazel. She debates saying anything more for a while, as Josie continues to freak out. Eventually, Hazel gets her bag and storms out. Uncomfortable, everyone looks at PJ, who glares at a sheepish Josie.

PJ (CONT’D)
I guess that’s it then...

Josie looks at the confused club members... and shrugs. Amazed, PJ nods and chuckles at Josie. After a few beats, she turns to pack up her bag. Everyone else starts to leave and talk amongst themselves. Brittany approaches PJ.

BRITTANY
For the record, this doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it.

Brittany smiles. PJ looks at her gratefully.

Crying to herself, Hazel bursts into the hallway and rushes toward the door. By his locker, Tim sees this and runs up to her.

TIM
Hey... Are you okay?
HAZEL
Yeah I’m fine.
TIM
Are you sure?. You know, I’ve been meaning to talk to you and see if you were interested in... talking.
HAZEL
Um no, I just have to go home -

She tries to keep walking but he runs and blocks her path.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 71.

4747 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 4747

TIM
Listen... I know what’s it like to be overlooked by everyone. Half the team still doesn’t know my name. The other half think I’m the physical therapist. I’m the perfect height for them to put their legs onto my shoulders and stretch.

He smiles warmly. Still in tears, Hazel debates.

TIM (CONT’D)
I’m sorry, it’s none of my business. I’m here if you want, but I understand if you want to stay loyal to the girls who are bullying you. Loyal like a little dirty dog.

He turns around. Hazel looks back at him.

HAZEL
Wait.

PJ and Brittany enter her giant room. PJ looks around.

PJ
Wow. What a shithole.
BRITTANY
I know. It’s a mess.

Brittany opens the door on the terrace, gets on her bed and takes out her homework. PJ joins her.

BRITTANY (CONT’D)
I fucking hate Mr. G. Everything he says is so pathetic.
PJ
Yeah I bet he has a poster of the 1999 Rockbridge team on his ceiling. Probably jerks off to it.
BRITTANY
That was the peak of his existence.

Brittany edges close to PJ. She leans over, looking at PJ’s homework, her cleavage out near PJ’s face.

Pink Rev. (04/17/22) 71A.

BRITTANY (CONT’D)
Like what is the point of this assignment? Who even is bell hooks and why do we care?
PJ
Can you stop talking actually? I’m trying to focus.

They sit in silence before Brittany catches PJ looking over.

BRITTANY
What?
PJ
I’m just worried about your wrist holding the weight of that pen.
BRITTANY
I’m surprised you’re able to see your homework with the amount of surface area yours are taking up.

PJ flicks Brittany’s wrist with her pen. Brittany flicks hers back. They keep going for a bit until... PJ looks up, Brittany’s smile inches away... And PJ kisses her. It lasts for a beat before Brittany gently pulls away.

BRITTANY (CONT’D)
Woah, wait, wait... PJ... Um... I’m... I’m straight.
PJ
... Oh... Right.
BRITTANY
I’m sorry if you misread anything -
PJ
No, I... Shouldn’t have assumed.

They awkwardly turn back to their homework. PJ tries to hide her confusion and act chill.

Isabel and Josie enter. As Isabel looks around, Josie rushes to put a couple things away without her noticing. Isabel sees a really big bloody painting of Jesus on the wall.

ISABEL
Oooo... I love God.

Josie sweats as Isabel picks up different knick knacks. She grabs a comfy sweatshirt.

ISABEL (CONT’D)
Oh my god, I always wanted one of these but my Mom said it hides your figure and makes you ugly.
JOSIE
You can borrow it... If you want.

Josie sits down on her bed. Isabel smiles as she picks up different embarrassing photos of Josie and PJ as kids.

ISABEL
Wow, you and PJ have really been friends for forever.
JOSIE
Yup ever since first grade... when the social hierarchy sets in.

Isabel smiles and sits beside Josie on her bed.

ISABEL

JOSIE
Yeah, but she means well. She’s a good friend.

Terrified, Josie keeps her head looking straight down. Isabel fails to meet her low gaze and giggles.

ISABEL
Josie.
JOSIE
Yeah.

Josie pops her head up. Isabel leans in and kisses her. They make out for a while before Isabel takes off her shirt (still wearing a bra) and they fall out of frame.

INT. GYM - DAY

source 50

Students mill into the bleachers. The gym has never looked this decked out in school colors, Jeff paraphanelia and game posters. Jeff and Tim strut in smugly. Nearby, Mrs. Callahan and Principal Meyers enter excited. The MILFS sit in the front row. They look at Mrs. Callahan. Upset, with her head down, PJ quickly enters the gym and finds her seat, avoiding eye contact with Brittany. Excited, Josie heads in, sees PJ and runs up the stairs to sit beside her. PJ ignores Josie, looking ahead.

JOSIE
Hey... um I really want to tell you something... about... last night...

Josie smiles giddily. PJ looks confused for a while until -

PJ
Oh my god.... No... No! Seriously? That’s amazing!

She’s cut off by the mascots running out and everyone cheering. Now there’s a pack of people dressed as dogs with comically large dicks. Jeff and Tim walk up to the podium.

JEFF
EVERYBODY, EVEN THE FUCKING LOSERS, MAKE SOME NOISE!!

Everyone screams. Girls flash their tits, including, Annie.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

PJ
I thought you were gay.
Annie
I know, I just like getting caught up in the festivities.
JEFF
What’s up motherfuckers??!!
TIM
He said, what’s UP MOTHERFUCKERS???!!!...
JEFF
Alright. We’re doing the pep rally. First up, cheerleaders.

In white T shirts, the cheerleaders stand frozen in position. Music plays. The cheerleaders grab buckets of water, pour them on each other and pose. The song cuts. Everyone claps.

TIM
Thank you ladies for that great routine... And thank you all for joining us here today. There’s been some exciting stuff happening in Rockbridge Falls recently... How many of you know about the little girl fight club that could?

PJ and Josie look at each other nervously. People cheer.

TIM (CONT’D)
Well we got a surprise for you! We’re going to bring Hazel down here, one of the founding members... To show us everything the club’s taught her... in a fun little challenge.

PJ and Josie lock eyes with Hazel, who stares back boldly.

JEFF
So lets get the gay fight club down here to cheer her on!

A few Football Bros drag out a mat. Oblivious, Mr. G smiles and claps. As they come down the bleachers, the club members look at each other, confused, excited and nervous.

JEFF (CONT’D)
Hazel will be fighting Tucker, the school's number one boxer.

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 75.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

HAZEL
Wait, what?... I thought it was going to be Ted Fergusen.

Sitting in the bleachers, Ted Fergusen (BG) looks confused. The cheerleaders unlock Tucker’s cage and he steps out growling. He's shirtless, ripped and has paint on his face.

JEFF
Don't be alarmed! She can handle this. Girls can do anything boys can do!
PJ
We literally never said that!

Terrified, Hazel takes in how big Tucker is. Excited, Isabel looks at Josie, who gulps. Tim smiles.

ISABEL
I didn’t know we planned this!
TIM
Ready?
PJ
Fuck.
TIM
Go.

Tucker charges at Hazel.

ANNIE
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god -

Surprising everyone, Hazel tackles him to the ground and punches him. People cheer. Tim and Jeff look pissed until Tucker throws Hazel off of him. She flies back, lands on her ass and struggles to get up quickly. Tucker charges at her but she kicks him, knocking him down. Josie looks relieved. Tucker blocks Hazel’s next move and punches her in the face, breaking her nose. Isabel gasps.

TIM
You may wonder how a girl under the training of two juvi convicted killers, can’t even stand up for herself against a regular old guy.

He charges at Hazel again and she immediately curls into a ball on the ground to protect herself. He tries to pick her up but she goes limp. He struggles to drag her around.

Salmon Rev. (04/26/22) 76.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

SYLVIE
Is she... sort of winning?

Tucker gets sick of dragging Hazel around and tries to jump on her. She rolls out of the way, barely missing him.

JOSIE
Should we help her?
TIM
Truth is they didn’t go to juvi.

Confused, the other club members look at Josie and PJ. Hazel tries pinning him down but he rolls over onto her and knocks her head back. She screams in pain. Tim holds up PJ and Josie’s Lobotomy T-shirts and reads off of them.

TIM (CONT’D)
They went to... a camp called Ladies Overcoming Bad Opportunistic Tendencies of Mistaken Youth, otherwise known as LOBOTOMY, for medically horny girls, where they never fought anyone.
BRITTANY
What is he talking about?

Josie and PJ cower in embarrassment. Hazel runs to the side of the ring but Tucker slams her to the ground and drags her back. The crowd is a mix of concerned and bloodthirsty. Hazel tries to punch Tucker, who kicks her hard.

TIM
And according to Hazel, they didn’t start this club to empower girls. They did it to fuck cheerleaders.

Everyone in the club looks shocked. Isabel looks at Josie. Hazel runs and jumps on Tucker’s back. Screaming, she claws his eyes and they start bleeding. Students gasp, horrified.

TUCKER
Ahhh!!!
TIM
Such a shame. We were really rooting for you girls... Okay, thanks for coming to the pep rally everyone! Go Vikings. We’re going to win it next week! Woo!

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 77.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

Tucker throws Hazel to the ground and the whole club runs over to her. Jeff hugs Tim tightly. The other Football Bros pile on top and throw him onto their shoulders.

FOOTBALL BROS
TIM! TIM! TIM!

Tim breathes deeply. He’s never looked happier in his life.

INSERT MRS. CALLAHAN/PRINCIPAL MEYERS/MILFS BEAT

Across the gym, PJ and Josie face the shocked and upset club.

ISABEL
Is that true?
PJ
No! Of course not. Hazel’s just... I don’t know, spiraling!
ISABEL
... That’s why you started this?
JOSIE
No... I mean... Not entirely.
PJ
Look, it doesn’t matter why we started it. The point is we learned so much from each other and we can all fucking fight so well now and I think we had a pretty amazing time, right?

All the girls look devastated. Sylvie starts crying.

SYLVIE
Oh my god...
ANNIE
I thought this club was for sisterhood but it was just for your own selfish interests?... This is the second wave all over again!

Annie helps Hazel stand up and limp out of the gym. The rest of the club follows. Isabel glares at Josie and joins them. Josie chases her.

JOSIE
Wait, Isabel! This wasn’t even my idea. PJ basically forced me. I didn’t want to do this at all... I mean I did, you’re so hot -

Blue Rev. 04/14/22 77A.

Isabel turns around and looks at Josie seriously.

ISABEL
You’re pathetic Josie.

Josie watches Isabel rage away. The remaining students push past Josie as they leave the gym. Once it’s empty, Josie and PJ turn around to see no one left but a disappointed Mr. G.

PJ
Mr. G, we’re so sorry...
MR. G
You know, I’m not an idiot. I wasn’t just doing this as a distraction. I cared about this group. I thought it was real.
JOSIE
We can explain -
MR. G
I trusted you both... You exploited my solidarity. I did the work of an amazing ally. You think this is funny? You think “Oh haha male teachers are dumb.” Is this about the time I said Amelia Earhart is a fake hero? Because it’s true. Tons of guys fly planes without crashing, but you never hear about them. “Oh it’s so hard to be a girl. We’re always losing our last names and getting less money or something!” You come to me and you play the victim and you tell me I can trust you and that you love me and you want to be with me for the rest of your life and that you like the mint green backsplash in the kitchen... But suddenly it’s all a lie, you leave me for a guy named Tony and the kitchen is lime green!... I knew women were evil. They keep trying to tell me you’re not, but time and time again...

Mr. G sighs and walks out of the gym. Josie turns to PJ.

PJ
I can’t believe Hazel.
JOSIE
Well you were really hard on her yesterday.

Green Rev. (04/25/22) 78A.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

PJ
Wait... This is my fault? Um I’m not the one who put Isabel on a rampage.

5050 CONTINUED:CONTINUED: 5050

JOSIE
What... What does that have to do with anything?
PJ
Well if she didn’t need revenge, Hazel wouldn’t have blown up Jeff’s car and Jeff wouldn’t have been so upset and whatever the fuck happened today wouldn’t have happened!
JOSIE
Oh wow so you had no part in this whatsoever, you can just trace all the blame back to me?
PJ
Well, since this whole thing was your idea, yeah, I think I can.
JOSIE
Are you kidding me? You know I didn’t want to do the club! From the beginning! You made me!
PJ
Yeah I was really holding a gun to your head when you got everyone in a circle to talk about their trauma and getting raped.
JOSIE
You made it about rape! I wasn’t going to make it about rape. The whole “make girls trust us so we can fuck them” thing was your idea! I was following your lead.
PJ
By making up a story about girls betting on you to fight? Which is literally the plot of Squid Game! And why was I asleep for that??
JOSIE
You’re just mad I made a decision on my own for once. I made it happen with Isabel and I didn’t need your help!
PJ
And you would have never even spoken to her without me!

PJ (CONT’D)
You always complain about how you haven’t had sex. Well I made it happen. I made this last year special and fun for us! I made people like us for once!
JOSIE
But I didn’t ask for that! I don’t need this town to like me or think I’m cool. You and I never have. It was you who was always saying “this was our year! We need to hook up!” And you know what’s so funny is that you’re the only one who didn’t.
PJ
Well that’s because Brittany’s straight so...
JOSIE
Yeah obviously. So what? All you care about is sex. You don’t need anyone to actually like you.

Hurt, PJ takes this in. Josie immediately looks regretful.

After a couple beats, she heads out of the gym, fuming. Josie stays as the doors slam shut and echo. Complicated by Avril Lavigne starts, playing over -

Rhodes dips bread into a cup of milk. Josie puts hers down.

RHODES
So if you don’t want to borrow firearms, why are you here?
JOSIE
Oh! I was looking more for advice.
RHODES
Okay. In high school, when everyone found out I was gay, no one wanted to be my friend. And back then it was worse because they hated you just for being gay -
RHODES (CONT’D) JOSIE
Not for being gay and Not for being gay and untalented. untalented.
RHODES (CONT’D)
Exactly.
JOSIE
People didn’t know you were gay?
RHODES
My hair was long and I talked like this -
(in a high voice)
“Hey bitch!” Anyway, invest in yourself. Make people fear you instead of love you.
JOSIE
That’s not actually the advice I was looking for. PJ and I got in a fight.

Rhodes lets out a big sigh and lights a giant cigar.

RHODES
Well, I don’t have many friends and it’s sad but as I’ve gotten older in this world, it’s just gotten more sad.
JOSIE
Yeah maybe I should just go to the game tonight and talk to her.
RHODES
Ooof I wouldn’t do that.
JOSIE
How come?
RHODES
It’s with Huntington, right?
JOSIE
Yeah... Why?
RHODES
Well I’m guessing they’ve been doing violent things to everyone for the last month, right?
JOSIE
So?
RHODES
So they’re violent. What do you think’s going to happen tonight?
JOSIE
Football?... And like some hard tackles?
RHODES
There is a fifty year rivalry going on here. They always leave a mark on the Rockbridge quarterback... In 77, they burned him at the stake with his dog, 92, they drowned him in a giant kiddie pool, 03, they pulled his body apart with horses... It’s called quartering... So tonight I’m staying in and double bolting the doors.

MRS. CALLAHAN * Hazel - I’m sorry I haven’t been * there for you. When I was growing * up I wasn’t confident the way you * are.

You weren’t at your Mom’s house and then I tracked down your Dad.

Mrs. Callahan, I’m sorry I called you a skank.
HAZEL
What the fuck is wrong with you?
PJ
Okay, I’m sorry I said you had no friends and that I’m the reason your face is fucked up that I’m mean to you like a lot all the time. I think it’s probably just cause you’re like always there being nice and stuff, even when I’m yelling at you, you’re still like taking nots at meetings, and then typing them up and color coding them and putting them in a drive... And I find that weird but nice. Anyway, I’m sorry.

Mrs. Callahan smiles and nudges to Hazel.

HAZEL
Thanks.
PJ
So now that I’ve apologized and everything um... And I did mean it... We need a distraction.

Annie, PJ, Josie and Sylvie run to the side of the field, where they can see Hazel in the distance.

ANNIE
Hazel!!

Hazel sees them and panics. She adds a bunch of zeros and starts to run.

HAZEL
Fuck, fuck, fuck.

People put their hands over their hearts. Some tear up. No one notices Hazel running across the field like a streaker.

ANNOUNCER (O.S.) (CONT'D)
The best thing that’s ever happened to this town. The best thing that's ever happened to me, honestly.

Annie, Sylvie, Josie and PJ panic as a panting and sweaty Hazel runs toward them.

JOSIE
Hurry!!

From the stands, Mrs. Callahan sees Hazel flail her arms.

MRS. CALLAHAN
Oh no -
ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
I fucking love him. And you do too. Give it up for JEFF!!!!
PJ
Now, now!

Jeff sprints onto the field. People go insane. Someone vomits.

Annie plugs her ears. Hazel dives toward the girls and presses the detonator.... But nothing happens.

Confused, Hazel continues pressing it.

PJ (CONT'D) (CONT’D)
What’s happening? Why isn’t it working?
ANNIE
That’s it, the cheerleaders have to make out!
PJ
That’s the best you can do?

Annie runs. PJ, Hazel and Sylvie follow but Josie slips on something. She sniffs her hands, looks confused and sees a trail of sticky liquid leading to the side of the bleachers.

On the track, Jeff does the old man shuffle and the crowd and cheerleaders dance with him.

Annie, Sylvie, Hazel and PJ run onto the track and try to get the cheerleaders’ attention. Annie does making out gestures with her hands, touching her back. PJ and Sylvie girls make their won kissing/sex gestures. Isabel, Brittany and Stella Rebecca look at them so confused. Hazel runs up the stairs to a high bleacher. She jumps wildly up and down.

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88B.

CONTINUED:

HAZEL
Make out! Make out with each other!

They look even more confused before... The old man shuffle music suddenly stops and everyone turns to see... scary HUNTINGTON PLAYERS arrive, wearing dark uniforms. They all grimace. Jeff panics and starts to make ape sounds.

PJ
Fuck, this is it.

PJ sighs and runs up the bleachers. Hazel notices PJ running toward her and looks confused before -

PJ suddenly makes out with her.

ANNIE
Look!

Annie points at them. The crowd gasps.

At the side of the bleachers, a distracted Josie sees a bunch of orange water barrels, one of which is leaking. She turns it over to see a label that boldly reads “PINEAPPLE JUICE” with a smiling pineapple character below it. She bolts.

PJ and Hazel’s make out becomes less messy as they both genuinely get into it. Everyone watches, including the football players already on the field. The cheerleaders watch entranced.

OLD MAN
Goddamn it! Can we cut the gay shit and get this shit on the road? I came here for some good man on man grappling and slapping football.
STELLA
Oh wait, I’m gay.
BRITTANY
Okay yeah, I’m not. I just like lesbian porn.

Josie sprints toward Jeff from the side fo the stands. She sees him grab his water bottle.

JEFF
God, this isn’t like porn at all! Wait... is porn not real?
JOSIE
AHHHHHH!!!!

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88C.

CONTINUED:

Just before he sips from his water bottle, Josie tackles him to the ground and knocks the bottle out of his hand.

ISABEL
Josie, what are you doing?!
JOSIE
There’s pineapple in his water!

Alarmed, the townspeople all watch and scream in panic. Hazel and PJ pull apart from their make out.

The Football Bros grab Josie. Raging with panic, Tim dives for the water bottle and struggles to grab it. Another Football Bro picks it up.

TIM
Give it to me! GIVE IT TO ME!!! HE’S ALLERGIC

The Football Bros hold Josie back. Tims sprays the water bottle at his mouth, mostly missing. Looking incredibly serious, Tim smack his tongue against the roof of his mouth a few times, double checking the taste.

TIM (CONT’D)
Nope, just water.
TOWNSPEOPLE
Oh, thank god!!!!
ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
Alright, alright, let’s just get the lesbian off the field and get this game started already!

The Football Bros toss Josie off the field. Everyone cheers as the players put on their helmets, run onto the field and get into position. Still on the bleachers, Hazel looks nervously at PJ, who wipes her mouth and walks away. Hazel eventually follows. Ecstatic, Jeff hikes the ball and everyone cheers. PJ, Annie, Hazel, Sylvie and Josie run to each on the field.

JOSIE
There’s like barrels pf pineapple juice behind the bleachers.

Annie scans the field. Jeff throws a long pass to a Rockbridge player, who runs toward the end zone. Strangely, instead of pursuing the play, Huntington Players tackle Jeff and pin him down at the other end of the field.

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88D.

CONTINUED:

As everyone focuses on the potential touchdown, Huntington Players stay on top of Jeff. The girls notice. Annie’s eyes zoom in on the sprinklers.

ANNIE
They’re going to spray the field.

The girls run to tackle and fight the Huntington players on top of Jeff. The other Huntington players across the field notice and head toward them. Josie throws Jeff over her shoulder. Isabel, Brittany and Stella join the girls as they get into formation facing the Huntington Players.

In slo mo, Josie starts to run toward the track, as the fight club and the Huntington team charge toward each other like soldiers. Like she’s in 1917, Josie runs through the center, narrowly avoiding getting hit by them. A Huntington Player runs from the other side of the field toward her and Jeff.

MR. G
Let’s go queens!!

The girls start ferociously fighting. Mr. G is the last to join and immediately gets knocked out. Panicking, Mrs. Callahan gets out of her seat. Tim and the mascot run from the other side of the field. Each fight club member fights off a few different players. Blood spills everywhere. As the battle continues, each fight club member fights off and kills the Huntington player(s) she faces. We cut back and forth between this and Josie jumping with Jeff over a Huntington Player waiting to tackle them. She accidentally kicks his face to the ground. She and Jeff eventually land on the track and slo-mo and music out.

The girls finish off the remaining players on the field. Most of the fight club members are on the ground but still conscious. PJ’s fighting the last Huntington player and not doing well. He throws her onto her back and is about to hit her. Hazel sees this, runs over and knocks him out.

HAZEL
Are you okay?

PJ nods... Until she sees one more player coming up behind Hazel. She gasps but he’s hit by a football from behind... When he turns, Josie kicks him down. She looks at PJ, who looks back gratefully. They share a nice moment before... They realize everyone is staring at them and the field, covered in blood and dead Huntington Players. Sylvie drops her sword, which echoes as everyone takes in all the terrorized expressions on the football team and townspeople. The fight club members look at each other, covered from head to toe in blood. Sylvie vomits... And the sprinklers go off. Tim tastes it and screams -

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88E.

CONTINUED:

TIM
TURN THEM OFF!

Mrs. Callahan runs to the side of the stands to turn them off. Tim runs to Jeff.

TIM (CONT’D)
She was right. It is pineapple juice.

Jeff gets ip and looks at Josie, amazed.

JEFF
You saved me. Josie, you saved my life because you know how important I am. I get it now. This was all for me! You... love me.

He closes his eyes and leans in for a kiss. Music swells, as if this is the moment we’ve been waiting for until -

JOSIE
Um... no.

She pulls away. Jeff turns to the crowd and holds her arm up.

JEFF
SHE SAVED ME!

Tim starts a slow clap. Still freaked out, people look at each other and begin to join the clap.

MR. G
I knew it. I knew women were good. This is what I’ve been saying.

As the clap picks up, the fight club all looks at each other and smiles. PJ stands and faces Josie.

PJ
We did it.
JOSIE
Yeah, I think you killed that guy.
PJ
I think we killed a lot of them.
JOSIE
I’m proud of you.
PJ
I’m proud of us.

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88F.

CONTINUED:

Tearing up, they hug. Different club members notice and smile, including Isabel. The excited crowd starts to cheer. As Josie and PJ pull apart, PJ and Hazel make eye contact. Principal Meyers approaches Josie and PJ.

PRINCIPAL MEYERS
Well done girls. That was unexpected but... interesting. I know I’ve always said you were untalented gays but now... I think I’d call you just... gay. I’d put you up there just below Mattieu.

Meyers nods to Mattieu, who stands with his girl squad.

MATTIEU
You fucking did it, bitch.
MR. G
Yeah, you did it, bitch. I’m allowed to say that.

Mr. G has no teeth. Josie notices Isabel looking over. PJ notices too and nods at Josie to go. Josie slowly approaches Isabel, who crosses her arms and waits for Josie to speak.

JOSIE
Isabel, I’m really sorry that I hurt you and that I was so fucked up and I broke your trust and that I took you to that horrible diner. It smelled like gas, everything was dairy-based and I like told you the worst news of your life and you were sobbing snot all over the table and it was getting everywhere. Also, I’m so sorry Tim told everyone about the Brazilian and um... I know I was lying to you the entire time but... I still really liked getting to know you. Cause I’ve always liked you. And I’m not expecting you to forgive me or anything. I think you’re amazing and I hope this didn’t ruin your senior year.

Josie nods and looks confused as Isabel stares her down, still mad. She gets closer.

ISABEL
You know, you didn’t have to like start a whole fight club to date me...

ISABEL (CONT’D)
You could hav just like talked to me or (joke tk) or (joke tk)... like a normal person...
JOSIE
No, I couldn’t have...
ISABEL
Yeah... you could have -
JOSIE
Yeah but it wouldn’t have worked because I don’t (joke tk) or (joke tk)
ISABEL
Yeah it still would have.

They step closer and kiss. People cheer as they make out.

OLD MAN
Lesbians? Again? You’ve got to be kidding me!

As Josie and Isabel continue making out, we pull out to see Sylvie spit and scream.

SYLVIE
SLAY QUEENS!!!! YAAAAAASSSSSS!! YAAAAS QUEEENS SLAAAAAAAYYYY!!
ANNOUNCER
Attention everyone, it seems like Huntington players are dead cheating bitch asses and the Vikings once again win the game!

We continue pulling out to see the Football Bros lift Jeff up onto their shoulders.

JEFF
We did it! We fucking owned you±

We continue pulling out to see Hazel and PJ laugh beside each other, trading sheepish looks. Hazel’s bomb goes off. Goth Kids throws his detonator to the ground...

GOTH KID
Damn it, that was my thing!

Goldenrod Rev. (05/10/22) 88H.

CONTINUED:

We continue pulling out to see the whole town run from the stands, over the Huntington bodies and onto the field, cheering. We land at the top of the stands, with a full view.

CUT TO BLACK:

An END CREDITS sequence with BTS and bloopers begins.
