Int. Morning, Flop House. PETE is sleeping on a cot in JUSTIN'S arms.
PETE slowly wakes up and, upon realizing he is next to JUSTIN he jumps with a start.
PETE:
Oh my God! Who the fuck are you?
JUSTIN:
My name is Justin and I am going to love you for the rest of your life.
PETE
You don't even know me you freak.
PETE looks around desperately for his clothes.
PETE
Did we...?
JUSTIN
No, we did not have sex. I just thought you would be more comfortable and, also, I wanted to see what was under there.
PETE
Who the fuck do you think you are?
JUSTIN
I am your new boyfriend. I have been waiting for you a long time.
PETE
You've never even met me before.
Where are my clothes?
JUSTIN
There are no closets or dressers in this crack den so I placed them gently on the floor.
PETE

JUSTIN

PETE gets dressed while JUSTIN talks.
JUSTIN:
So from what I gather from your situation is that the police and your family are probably looking for you and I would assume there are some legal matters pertaining to your newfound home ownership that need some seeing to so might I suggest you remove your clothes again, lie back down with me, and do a line and we can discuss the matters at hand.
PETE
Are you for real?
JUSTIN
Very much so.
JUSTIN
Very much so.
JUSTIN, who is still naked, is tattooed from neck to ankle. PETE looks him up and down.
PETE:
So what's the deal with all the tats?
JUSTIN:
I had a boyfriend who hated them so I would get one every time he pissed me off.
PETE:
You're covered.
JUSTIN:
He pissed me off a lot.
PETE:
What day is it? I feel like I slept forever. How did that happen when I was doing coke?
JUSTIN:
Oh, that wasn't coke.
PETE
What was it?
JUSTIN:
Heroin.
PETE:
What the fuck?! What did you give me that for?
JUSTIN:
You've had a bad couple of days. I thought you could use the sleep..
PETE:
Fuck you man.
JUSTIN:
...and bliss.
PETE
But I snorted a ton. I could have OD'd.
JUSTIN:
Na. I was watching you.
PETE:
All night?
JUSTIN:
Yes.
PETE:
Don't you sleep?
JUSTIN:
How could I sleep when I had you here to admire.
PETE:
Seriously.
JUSTIN:
And I apologize. I licked you a couple of times again. I can't help it.
PETE:
Wow. Ok.
JUSTIN:
By the way if the cops show up this heroin is yours.
PETE:
Excuse me?
JUSTIN:
C'mon. Be nice. Looks like you're in more trouble anyway.
PETE
Ya, but...
JUSTIN
Remember how I said if the cops show up this heroin is yours.
PETE
Ya, five seconds ago.
PETE laughs a little. There is silence. PETE drifts off to sleep in JUSTIN'S arms.
INT flop house. Next day.

JUSTIN throws the bag of heroin over to PETE
JUSTIN:
Well they're here.
PETE
How do you know?
The door busts open and four SWAT cops run in guns drawn.
PETE and JUSTIN are cuffed, taken outside and pulled apart in the direction of two different cruisers,
Pete yells out.

PETE:
My name is Pete Kopecky. K-O-P-E-C-K-Y
Justin made a mental note of what PETE had just said.
