***a page from the play “Pie Pan”, now being adapted for the silver screen***
[a crowded kitchen. B looks into an oven. V prepares a burger. D eats a piece of meat off a fork. L & Z drink domestic beer.]
V: “dude, take that fucking pie out man. that looks perfect. eat that shit. put it in your mouth.”
L: “i don’t want any part of this. i’ll eat a piece of bread or something.”
B: “no one touch that. it is hot as hell.”
D: “i didn’t even know you were such a savvy homemaker.”
V: “he’s been slaving all fucking day. for you, FOR YOU!”
Z: “it’s not done yet, it’s not done yet.”
B: “oh god yes it is.”
Z: “is it? then take it out.”
B: “i’m trying.”
V: “what do you know about pies?”
Z: “it’s my pie.”
V: [unwrapping a kraft single] “what the fuck do you know about pies?”
Z: “what the fuck do you know about cheese. get that pie out of the fucking oven.”
V: [under his breath, still unwrapping kraft single] “i’ll show you cheese. [addressing audience] “follow the cheese, follow the cheese. here–there” [V shoves kraft single into Z's eye] “EAT IT! EAT IT!”
[B drops apple pie onto floor of oven, destroying both pie and oven. No one notices.]
L: “put that cheese on the pie.”
V: [still grinding kraft single into Z's eye socket] “what do you know about pies? that’s what i know about cheese.”
Z: [catching a glimpse of the broken pie, as B shuts the oven and stands in front of it. peels cheese from eye, throws it at V. turns to B.] “you ruined my apple fucking freedom. ughhh.”
L: “can i have a lone star please?”
Z: “aghhh” [V motions to audience to stop watching, making the 'cut' sign across the throat. B remains silent, shaking his head. Z tries to open the oven, which B holds shut. Z grabs B on each side of the face, and leans in] “i just wanna, i just wanna let you know i think it’s funny. i think it’s funny because it’s not my oven.”
V: [tying to open oven] “get the fuck out of my way” [V opens oven, lays eyes on the pie splatter for the first time] “ohhh SHIT. oh shit. look at that.”
Z: “look what just happened to my apple pie. you have to help. that’s my apple pie. that’s my apple pie.”
V: “oh fuck. [inspecting the damage] oh fuck.”
Z: “and you’re not leaving this kitchen.”
L: [gasps] “oh my god.”
D: “what the fuck happened?”
B: “i’m going home.”
L: “that’s so fucked up.”
B: “i’ll see you guys later.”
V: “you asshole!” [throws crumpled up pie pan at B, hitting him in the face] “you son of a bitch!”
L: “you’ve ruined everything tonight B. seriously, you’ve ruined everything tonight.
B: [being restrained by L, B tries to exit kitchen as D takes photos of the pie splatter] “just cause–” [inaudible babble]
L: “you’ve ruined everything!”
