High summer, a glorious day, the HUBBUB of a city park when the sun is out. Snippets of voices, kids laughing and screaming, you can almost smell the hot dogs. Parasite Page 1/72
(O.S.): "I know." Action Notes Another voice joins Guy's, this is ELLE, also unseen, also in her late 20's, also happy, but maybe a touch less relaxed. Parasite Page 3/72
"The set needs more smoke machines and lasers or Skeletonator will not appear." Action Notes The camera still hasn?t found them, a woman pulls the sunshade over her baby in the carriage, a MAN on his cell phone walks by. Parasite Page 4/72
"I mean it though! I can?t imagine one thing that could make this day any better." Action Notes Finally Guy and Elle walk into frame. They're adorable, such a sweet couple, totally normal... except. Skeletonator's Roadie and the Mother do a double take... is that? What?s coming out of Guy's head? Parasite Page 5/72
(O.S): "Really? Not one thing?" Action Notes The tube slaps the Roadie in the face as it moves by him knocking his sunglasses off and covering him with slime. Parasite Page 7/72
"You don't ever feel like there's something hanging over us, that we don't talk about. Casts a shadow on things." Action Notes He tries to take her hand but she steps a little to the side, turning to look at him. Parasite Page 12/72
"Yes, you know I love you, but sometimes I feel like you're carrying around some extra baggage from your past, and it can?t help but get in the way sometimes." Parasite Page 16/72
We reach MARGIE, six legs, two buzzing wings. As each globular reaches her mouth through the feeding tube she expands and contracts in a happy little shudder, and the morsel ends up in a little growing sack at her rear. Parasite Page 19/72
"Let go? Don?t you realize Margie?s the one thing in my life that has always been there for me?" ELLE: "That's Great, but where do I fit in this special little twosome?!" Parasite Page 23/72
"No! It's not like that with Margie. We're just friends. I love you. We have so much fun together. I?d never let Margie get in the way of that." Action Notes Close on Guy, he's wistful. Parasite Page 24/72
DISSOLVE TO: INT. CLUB - NIGHT - Elle and Guy are drinking together at a bar, people dancing in the background. Again Margie politely out of frame. Parasite Page 25/72
DISSOLVE TO: INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT FLASHBACK (no dialog in the flashbacks) - Elle and Guy are sitting at romantic table for two, gazing into each others eyes, as Guy offers Elle a bite of his cheesecake. Margie's tube politely off to the side of the screen. Parasite Page 26/72
INT. CLUB - ELLE?S POINT OF VIEW - Elle indicates that she loves this song, but Guy isn't ready, no matter how much he drinks he can?t get drunk enough to dance. He orders another drink. Parasite Page 28/72
CAMERA TRUCK OUT - Revealing more beer on the table than we originally thought. Guy is angered by the fact he can't seem to get a buzz, despite his best efforts. Parasite Page 29/72
(V.O.): "I mean I'm not saying me and Margie haven't had our fun..." Action Notes Elle?s on the dance floor with Margie, they?re cutting a rug. Parasite Page 30/72
(V.O.): "You don't always have good self control when you're drunk either!" Action Notes Elle grabs a bar stool in frustration and whacks Margie. Parasite Page 36/72
(V.O.): "She's also horribly lactose intolerant." Action Notes INT. RESTAURANT - ELLE'S POINT OF VIEW - Guy now takes a bite of his own cheesecake. Margie?s bowels let loose over Elle. Parasite Page 37/72
"You know what I?m talking about. Sometimes I'd like to be able to be affectionate, hold your hand, but no, recently something always gets in the way. Ivan." Action Notes Elle looks uncomfortable. She deflects the insinuation with her left hand. Parasite Page 49/72
"What about Ivan? He?s just a friend." GUY: "I?ve seen him hanging around. He?s growing on you, and it?s getting in the way of us." Action Notes Guy turns and storms off. Elle suddenly realizes the extent of Guy?s hurt. Parasite Page 50/72
(O.S.) (CONT?D): "Please Guy, I love you!" Action Notes Guy, holding in tears forges on, but the tube connecting him to Margie goes taut. Parasite Page 53/72
Above Guy Margie, clearly agitated and emotional, gestures for him to stop, pulling on her feeding tube and beating her wings up a storm. Parasite Page 54/72
(CONT?D): "I should have been more understanding. I know Margie's a part of you." Action Notes Guy stops and turns to Elle, still upset. Elle lowers her eyes. Parasite Page 55/72
(CONT'D): "Just like Ivan's a part of me. You're right, we all have our own baggage." Action Notes She lifts her right hand which up until now has always be out of the eye of the camera. And we see IVAN, a cute combination of a leech and a scorpion, he envelopes her entire right hand. Parasite Page 56/72
(CONT'D): "If I'm going to love you, I have to love all of you, I can't pick and choose." Action Notes Guy looks at her, tears of joy welling up in his eyes. Margie HUMS in satisfaction above him. Parasite Page 57/72
Both parasites, now much larger in size, can now be together. Margie descends down to Ivan and a cliche Valentine heart appears between the two of them. Parasite Page 66/72
