The Becks At Home (Excerpt From Part 2a)

Interior of the Beck home. Mary Beck is alone inside, looking at the cover of "The Bully". She is not wearing her dominatrix outfit, but is dressed casually. She is speaking to the CD cover.

Mary Beck: Ahh...my little fruit salesman. Why did you ever run out on me....my big....big boy...mmmmmm...JERK ! 

Suddenly a car drives up. She is startled, puts the CD behind a couch cushion. Mr. Beck walks in.

Mr.Beck: Hi honey....

Mary Beck: Uh, court let out early?

Mr. Beck: Yesss......and WE WON !!!!! 2.5 million !!

Mary Beck: That's great !!!! Oh honey you're wonderful !!!! My little litigation expert...so how's the boy?

CUT to a shot of a schoolyard, a 12 year old boy is standing against a flagpole with his tongue frozen to it. There is snow and ice on the ground. He is moaning, in pain. The voice of Mr. Beck is heard in a voice over.

Mr. Beck: (voice over) Oh he's fine!! Physically that is.......but the trauma...the knowledge that his SCHOOL would allow such a dangerous object on the premises....the painful memories of what was done to him by that...FLAGPOLE !! But guess what?

BACK to the interior of the Beck house.

Mary Beck: What??

Mr. Beck: (proudly) The school's already put a chain link fence around the flagpole, AND....It'll probably lead to WARNING signs on all flagpoles !

Mary Beck: In schoolyards?

Mr. Beck: No....ALL !!! Everywhere !! So that every man, woman and child is SAFE from this menace !!!! Wow, we're really gonna stick it to those flagpole makers now !!!!!!!

Mary Beck: Oh, that's GREAT !!!

Mr. Beck suddenly feels something behind the cushion of the couch he is sitting on. He pulls out the CD, "The Bully".

Mr. Beck: (shocked) What is THIS ??!!!                                                                                                        

Mary Beck: (nervous) Oh honey... that's uh... the uhhhhhh, it's......

Mr. Beck: Oh of course !!! Thank you, honey !! Thank you !! I see you've been doing some research.                       

Mary Beck: Uhhhhh...OK....yeah..right !

Mr. Beck: This is such a clever.....sick... manipulative example of.....

Mary Beck: (still confused) Right....

Mr. Beck: Symbolic illustration of....

Mary Beck: Yeah.....

Mr. Beck: Violence against women !!

Mary Beck: OH....uh...YES !

Mr. Beck: The way the fruit has been so harshly torn into such LEWD representations of the female anatomy......the OVERPOWERING PHALLIC squash....the....that CREEP with a woman's mask on....and that camera... what sort of autoerotic twisted sick mind would assault the general populace with such dangerous, manipulative, symbolic thoughts of violence against WOMEN !!???????

Mary Beck: They say his real name is Joe Gimmel !!!!!!!!

Mr. Beck: Well......Mr. Joe Gimmel, just wait until the police find one of THESE in some psycho's backpack, HUH ? How many millions are you worth, Mr. ROCK STAR ??????

Mary Beck: But remember the last rock band..

Mr. Beck: Don't remind me !

Flashback. Courtroom. On one side are Mr. Beck and a team of attorneys. Behind them sit 10 beautiful women, all seductively and gaudily dressed. On the opposite side is another attorney and his clients: 4 young men. The first has a cross tattoo covering his face. The second is wearing a Crusader's uniform. The third has an actual crown of thorns on his head. Small scars and fresh scratches adorn his scalp, while tiny trickles of blood run down his face. The fourth has a crewcut with the words "DRUG FREE ZONE" shaved into both sides of his head. A jury has entered the courtroom with a verdict.

Judge: You have reached a decision ?

Foreman: Yes your honor...

Judge: Bailiff ??

Bailiff: We the jury find for the defendants: Hell, Fire, Brim, and Stone....otherwise known as the band Hellfire and Brimstone.

The young men are jubilant. They high five each other and laugh.     

Judge: Order ! Order !.........Before I dismiss this court I have something to say...

As the judge's speech is heard, a FLASHBACK is shown. A teenage boy, approximately 17, is on a rooftop at night overlooking a strip club. The same group of women from the courtroom scene are exiting the back door of the club, obviously getting off work. The boy peers down at them.

Judge: (voice over) Hellfire and Brimstone, your blatant MISUSE of religion based on your own sick, perverted, fanatical, personal views is REPREHENSIBLE to me and all Americans. Every major religious leader in this country has spoken out against you and your twisted, sadistic, PSYCHOTIC songs.....

From the rooftop, the teenager yells "SLUTS ! WHORES ! SLUTS !" The women are frightened and run back inside. As they do, various body parts jiggle. A large rough looking man in a suit comes out the back door and yells up at the teenager. The teen turns and runs, but as he does, a CD falls from his jacket. A closeup shows the title, "SATAN IS A WOMAN", and the artists, HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE.

Judge: (voice over) ......and even though THIS JURY has found no responsibility on your part for that boy's HATE SPEECH against these fine women of the local business community.....has found no responsibility for the insults to their character......for the trauma they have suffered...has exonerated you THIS TIME...I believe that without such poison as you inflict upon the world.....that the incident would have never happened.....and this world would be a better place !!

BACK TO THE COURTROOM. We see the 4 men smirking at the judge. They each begin to sing in turn.

Hell: Satan is a woman.....           

Fire: With horns and breasts....

Brim: Big red legs.....

Stone: Spiked heels !

Judge: Deputies, get these......people out of here !!

A group of deputies forcibly escort the 4 from the court, still singing.

Hell: Down in Hell...

Fire: Where the wimpy men moan.....

Brim: With the hope of pleasure....

The courtroom door slams loudly behind the group as they have been thrown out. Then suddenly it opens as Fire sticks his head back in and "MEOWS" loudly. He is quickly pulled back out as the door slams behind him. BACK TO THE INTERIOR OF THE BECK HOME.

Mr. Beck: Oh... I remember that suit...that BAND, that JURY....all the more reason to get this JOE GOLIATH or whoever he thinks he is !!!!
