Jon Bellion: The Musical

Scene 19

CUT TO:

INT. HOTEL ROOM 19

Paris lies hungover in his hotel room, watching a girl from the night before walk out. He groans.

PARIS
Fuck me, my head hurts.

Paris takes a sip of water before vomiting into his bin. He picks up his phone and looks at the videos and photos he posted the night before. He shakes his head.

PARIS
What the fuck was I doing?

A church bell sounds from across the road and Paris looks out to see people walking in for the Sunday service.

PARIS
Caleb was right, this isn't how it was supposed to turn out.

PARIS
(singing to Human by Jon Bellion)
I always fear that I'm not living right
So I feel guilty when I go to church
The pastor tells me I've been saved, I'm fine
Then please explain to me why my chest still hurts

Paris looks over to a pair of Nike Back to the Future shoes next to his bed.

PARIS
(singing to Human by Jon Bellion)
I spent four thousand on the Mart McFlys
Yet I'm still petrified of going broke
There was someone gorgeous in my bed last night
Yet I'm still petrified that I'll die alone

I'm just so sick of being
Human
I'm just so sick of being
Human
I'm just so sick of being
Human
I'm just so sick of being
Oh na...

Paris' phone buzzes revealing a message from his mum telling him to call her.

PARIS
(singing to Human by Jon Bellion)
My mother calls I have no time to talk
But I can find the time to drink and smoke
Took 15 hits 'till I can barely walk
I threw up on the lawn, I can't find my phone

I got no nuts to tell the one I love
That she's the reason that I wrote this song
And that's some coward shit I know it sucks
But Prisha call me when you hear this song

I'm just so sick of being

Human
I'm just so sick of being
Human
I'm just so sick of being
Human
I'm just so sick of being
Oh na...

See I got GPS on my phone
And I can follow it to get home
If my location's never unknown
Then tell me why I still feel lost
Tell me why I still feel lost

See I got GPS on my phone
And I can follow it to get home
If my location's never unknown
Then tell me why I still feel lost
Tell me why I still feel lost

Tell me why I still feel lost
Tell me why I still feel
Human

Paris takes a deep breath and starts to shower.

PINK SQUIRREL RECORDS - STUDIO

Paris is in the studio with Caleb. Paris is staring at the floor miserably.

CALEB
Hey, what's wrong with you Paris?

PARIS
I've realised what you sang to me the other night is true.

CALEB
Oh that song in the club? Ah what a performance that was.

PARIS
Yeah, anyway I know that the party life isn't for me now.

CALEB
What? You were having the time of your life on Saturday?

PARIS
I think anyone would be having the time of their life after 10 Jaeger bombs. Let's just say I wasn't having the time of my life chunning into my bin the next day.

CALEB
(laughing)
Classic. Some people just can't hack it. What is your kind of lifestyle then?

PARIS
This may sound mad after what I've said about her but I think it's Prisha. Prisha's my lifestyle.

CALEB
Come on Paris, you can't have one person as your lifestyle.

PARIS
Look I've realised what I want to do is hang out with Prisha. What's wrong with that?

CALEB
Okay fine, let's say Prisha is your lifestyle then. Which it's not. How the fuck are you gonna win her back?

PARIS
Buy her a teddy bear?

CALEB
Are you fucking joking? Prisha, the successful commercial lawyer who also happens to be a ten out of ten, is not going to be impressed by a shitty teddy bear. You need to take her somewhere special.

PARIS
How about that little restaurant in Little Italy?

CALEB
Paris, I'm talking about something big. Like a spa break.

PARIS
That does sound good, to be fair. I could really do with a massage. I'm always so tense these days.

CALEB
There we go, it's a win-win. That'll get her back for sure.

PARIS
Cheers, Caleb. This had better work now.
