Welcome, If you're just tuning in I am writing a script based on the Freaky Friday story except instead of a mother and daughter switching places its a small 11 year old boy and the priest who molested him. Its a comedy.
This entry was tough for me. Already knowing everything thats in the plot and about the characters it was still very hard because this is the build up to the exchange. Again, every time I get to write another entry it always gets better and this is by far the most visual entry. I'll keep this ball rolling along. Enjoy the video that ties into the ending.
The street lamps bulb begins to flicker and burns out.
The only light can be seen from the porch where a dark figure waits.
Int. Kevin's Room-Night
He's lying on his bed.
Satisfaction. The type that makes you cross your arms behind your head and fold your legs.
He replays this mini episode in his mind. The bike, the garage, the movie. He gets to the end and his fat grin turns into a thin smile and dies into a worried frown.
KILEY (V.O.)
I really wish you were older kiddo.
I really wish you were older kiddo.
INT. KITCHEN- NIGHT
The carton of ice cream has oozed out a river of condensation over the wooden table.
Kate pulls out the soaked spoon and licks it clean.
KATE
Want some?
Want some?
Father Blesieu takes the bucket and carefully caps it like he's changing a diaper.
FATHER BLESIEU
Mrs. Tatchi please reconsider.
Mrs. Tatchi please reconsider.
KATE
No, I don't think Kevin wants to do the confirmation thing.
No, I don't think Kevin wants to do the confirmation thing.
Using only his fingertips Father Blesieu floats the ice cream to the freezer.
FATHER BLESIEU
Well he may not want to at first but then we'll have youth meetings and field trips. We will go out into the middle of nowhere for weeks at a time and I'll show him that being confirmed really isn't that bad.

KATE
Why are you asking me, isn't this a decision Kevin should make on his own?

Kate and the priest stand near the door. A picture of her husband is nearby.
FATHER BLESIEU

FATHER BLESIEU

I'll be here. I'll talk to Kevin then.
She walks to her room gripping the frame.
EXT. OLD CHURCH- NIGHT
The moon is pierced by the long steeple.
Crickets moan as the winds blow through their legs and bring the clouds.
INT- FATHER BLESIEU'S LIVING ROOM
Grisly looking wood covers the walls.
Old furniture like grandma used to have and a T.V. from Bedrock.
Dark, with a stained-yellow tint. What is this a motel?
He sticks in an tape and sits back in his lazy boy. His Childhood memories.
INT. KEVIN TATCHI BEDROOM- NIGHT
Kevin flops onto bed, reaches for the remote and on flashes the tube. A movie.
INT. HOTEL ROOM- DAY
Large room. Queen size bed. Bucket of ice on the table, clothes on the floor the whole shebang.
A man lays asleep in bed.
The showers running.
INT. FATHER BLESIEUS LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
He watches as a younger version of himself plays with a garden hose.
Spraying himself in the face and shooting the cameraman or camera woman.
He is filled with a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
INT. HOTEL SHOWER- DAY
A hand turns the nozzle and stops the water.
Same hand grabs a towel off the rack.
INT. KEVIN TATCHI BEDROOM- NIGHT
Kevin turns off the lights in his room and now all that illuminates it are the images on the screen.
INT. HOTEL ROOM- DAY
The man is stirred and awakes.
The woman enters wearing just the towel.
MAN
What time is it?
What time is it?
Woman
Noon.
Noon.
Man
What did you take a shower for?
What did you take a shower for?
Woman
To get clean.
To get clean.
She opens her towel at the front and lays on top of him.
INT. KEVIN TATCHI BEDROOM- NIGHT
Kevin locked in.
This is getting hot.
INT. FATHER BLESIEUS LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
He gets up out from his chair leaving the T.V. on.
On screen the boy is running around a park with other children. They are hugging and having the times of their lives. One of them is definitely.
INT. HOTEL ROOM- DAY
The man flips the woman over and sits up in front of her. He laughs.
WOMAN
What's wrong.
What's wrong.
MAN
You're gonna have to take another shower.
You're gonna have to take another shower.
They embrace.
Commercial break.
EXT. OLD CHURCH- NIGHT
The clouds are fixed.
There is silence.
INT. CHURCH ALTER- NIGHT
Father Blesieu kneels.
The crucifix is over-sized and too realistic for most of the people who attend. They stare at each other.
FATHER BLESIEU
I wish i was young again.
I wish i was young again.
Kevin, cross legged and hands folded, on the bed he faces skyward with his eye's closed.
Squeezing out his will and letting it go with an exhale.
INT. CHURCH BATHROOM- NIGHT
Father blesieu standing upright with his head facing skyward one hand on the ceiling the other clasped he lets out his relief with an exhale...
...and a flush
INT. FATHER BLESIEU BEDROOM- NIGHT
The priest holds the sheets to his neck and dozes off.
INT. KEVIN TATCHI BEDROOM- NIGHT
On the television a trailer for the film "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" airs.
Kevin sleepily watches it.
Narrator
In the new millenium, Vampires no longer fear the sun.
In the new millenium, Vampires no longer fear the sun.
His eyes are heavy.
NARRATOR
Now they're going to learn. It's Time....
Now they're going to learn. It's Time....
His eyes shut completely and his head drops to the side.
NARRATOR
To fear....
To fear....
EXT. BEACH- DAY
The Beach is crowded with Vampires all standing in a crescent. Rising from the ground is Kevin Dressed as Jesus Christ.
NARRATOR
The Son of GOD!
The Son of GOD!
