Film Treatment 2 [finished]

in my version of the story our hero is getting ready to present his speech at the supoosed banquet dinner.he was invited byMr.Andrews, his former history teacher.Unbeknowst to our hero, Mr. Andrews had been leading a double life soliciting young girls.

When the narrator reaches the place,he is thrown into a room of other boys his age;some he even knows fron school.the narrator is puzzled.first he is woundering why arent theboys trying to excape and why they are wearing boxers uniforms.When he asked another boy what was going on,the second bot pionts to the door. the narrator peeks out to see two men on either side of the door with guns. petrified the narrator creeps back into the room,unnoticed. just then,the door swings open and a pair of shorts and gloves are trown in the narrators face by a guard.The narrator is told to hurry upunless he perfered a "dirt nap". the boys line up single file and are lead to another room full of suited patrons ,dressed just as the narrator once was.without thinking, the narrator blurts that the guard is mistaken and that he belongs in the group with the suited men. the guard threatens him once more and punches him hard in the back.

the boys in boxershortswere told tosxtandin fron to f the suited patrons. another man in a suit[Mr. Andrews] enters the room with a woman on each arm[Chanel and Natasha]. he announces that the boys were selected because they exercised too much "softness"and that the obtacles he will put them through will allow them to harness"true Manliness"

He [Mr. Andrews] and the girls walk over to an isolated chair, where Mr. Andrews sits down.

music is turned on[Kanye west- flashing lights] and the two women walk to the middle of the floor to dance.while they dance the suited patrons sit silently excited and in awe; the boxers too,all accept for the narrator. he is looking at the floor.he shows that he recognizes Mr Andews and doesnt want to offend him by looking at the dancers. Natasha [blonde] is dancing in front of the narrator and is trying to get him to look up at her.she looks over at Mr. Andrews to find that he is highly upset at her lacking effort. somehow, she conjurs up enough prowess to get the narrator to look at her when he does, he ends up liking her and, finds our she doesnt want to be there anymore than he does. and vice versa. when the dance is over,the narrator finds Natashas earring on the ground,he swiftlry picks it up and plans on returning it to her so he can see her again.

soon after, all the boys are lined up again to go back to the first room untill the fight starts. the narrator is last in line. he walks past Natashas dressing room when the door flings open and he is pulled in.Natsha instructs the narrator to stand behind the door in case Chanel comes back. Chanel is sneaky and will surely tell Mr. Adrews. Chanel doesnot like natasha because she is young and can possibly make mr Andrew more money.

the narrator expressed to Natasha how he knew Mr. andrews As a school teacher and how he always though he was wierd and harased him frequently for one thing or another durring school. Natasha met him when she ran away form home, from then on he was her only means of survival.The narrator remembers to give her her earring.she takes it ,thanks him and says that everyday she regreted running away because she used to be rich,well at least her parents were before they died. on a news special one day she watched everything she owned was sold at auction. just one earring cost 1,500, 3,000 total. she said if she ever got away from mr andrews shed pawn her earrings and make a better life for herself. they both decided to come up with a plan to excape but then they heard someone outside the door ,Chanel.Natasha rushes narrator out the door before Chanel turns around to enter. Chanel tell natasha about her plans to make mr andrews fall in love with her and if Natasha did anything to upset that,there would be dire concequences.with that,she left the room to visit mr andrews.

mr andrews is sitting in his lair with his feet proped up on his desk lookin as though he is in deep thought.he didt turn his head or move when chanel enters. Chanel walks behind his chair and begins to to massage his shoulders. Mr Andrews again does not respond to her seduction.he only he picks p a newspaper and files through it.Chanel relays to him her proposal and how she has strong feelings for him and feels that rather than be a dancer she wants to be his partner.Mr. Andrews and Chanel laugh in unison.Sudenly Mr. Andrews grabs Chanel and pins her to the top of his desk with one hand.she stares at his stone face in horror,as he proceedes to tell her that he does not like nor love her or any one of his prostitutes for that matter they are just things to be sold.period. and that reason is the only reason he handnt killed her for such a proposal to him. he smirlks meniacally and overlooks her face for any bruses.in a calm voice he tells her to changeand get ready for the fight.

the fight begins, Mr andrews enters the ring and announces that the boys he has chosen will fight for the right to be called true men; or die trying. thne men are thrown int the ring and instructed to fight any and everybody. due to exhaustion the boys start collapsing all accept the narrator. he is yanked out of the ring.a man jams his speech in to his hand and throws a tie around his neck, despite the fact that he is sweaty amd bloody.despite the spectators khackling and jeering. he proceedes to give his speech. in it he talkksabout how he never knew who he was and was asking everyone else besides himself .about how he didt fit in and now he knows he didt fit in for a reason. and that reson is to do extrordinary thingsand how each and every able person in the room has the power to do the same.



Natasha, Chanel and even Mr. andrews are touched by the narrators speech just before mr. andrews could relay how he felt cops burst in and arrest him for solicitation.while Mr andrewsis dragged out of the room chanell retreats to his quarters and takes every scrap of money she can findand rushes for the door.she spots natasha cleanig up the narrator and stops. without saying a word she reaches into her purse and graps two stacks of money and slams it in each of thier hands and walks out the door.



natasha asksthe narrator if he is alright he reassures her that he is ok, besides the bruises. natasha helps the narrator as thet sumble through the doorway and leave
