- A SPEED METAL CLUB - NIGHT
We see the sign which has all the letters tipped way over to the right -
as if in a hurricane. Two leaning palm trees border the sign.
One hundred decibels of speed metal. We see the name "Powermad" on the
bass drum.
The BAND segues into "Slaughter House" and it's a hot one. Sailor grabs
Lula and they start dancing like two jacked-up spastics in an electrical
storm. a few PUNKS actually stop dancing to watch Sailor and Lula.
They thought they'd seen everything.
CU of Lula and Sailor - they're in love and dancing hot. An IDIOT PUNK
moves close to Lula and rubs up against her as he dances by. Sailor
turns to the lead guitar player and signals him to stop the music
immediately. Suddenly everything is deathly quiet. Sailor gives the
man a fully extended "Reno point"...
SAILOR
Are you going to provide me with an
opportunity to prove my love to my
girl? Or are you gonna save
youself some trouble and step up
like a gentleman and apologize to her?
IDIOT PUNK
Don't fuck with me, man. You look
like a clown in that stupid jacket.
SAILOR
This is a snakeskin jacket, and for
me it's a symbol of my individuality
and my belief in personal freedom.
IDIOT PUNK
...Asshole.
SAILOR
(as he moves toward the Idiot Punk)
Come here.
LULA
Sailor, honey...
The Idiot Punk tries to hit Sailor, but Sailor slaps him so hard his
knees almost bend backwards. The Idiot Punk goes down - fighting back
tears and holding his cheek.
SAILOR
(helping him up)
I'm sorry to do this to ya here
in front of a crowd, but I want ya
to stand up and make a nice apology
to my girl.
IDIOT PUNK
(to Lula)
I'm sorry.
LULA
Hell, you just rubbed up against
the wrong girl is all.
SAILOR
That's good... Now go get yourself
a beer.
(turning to the band)
You fellas have alotta the same power
Elvis had... Y'all know this one?...
Sailor starts to sing an Elvis Presley song, "Love Me." As the band
joins in with a perfect back-up - Sailor sings to Lula. The Speed Metal
crowd is mesmerized.
