SCARS ARE SEXY

               By Kevin Hines



               INT. BAR - NIGHT

               This bar is hopping! Girls and guys are everywhere trying to
               hook up, get drunk, and have a good time. 

               One guy, TOBIN is talking to a girl named COLLEEN. She is
               touching a scar he has above his right eyebrow.

                                   COLLEEN
                         How did you get that scar?

                                   TOBIN
                         Oh that... a few months ago I got
                         in a bar fight. This group of jerks
                         were picking on a little guy and I
                         got involved. I wish it would heal.

                                   COLLEEN
                         I think it's sexy.

                                   TOBIN
                         Oh really? Then you'll love this.

               In one quick motion Tobin takes off his tight, purple shirt
               to reveal a horrid gash that runs from his right shoulder to
               just under his left nipple. It is still oozing blood. The
               skin around the cut is black and cracked. Dark lines can be
               seen leading to and from the cut on all sides. Parts of it
               are green and seem to be infected. 

               Colleen is horrified.

                                   COLLEEN
                         Ugh! What happened to you?

                                   TOBIN
                             (confused)
                         This was from the same fight.

                                   COLLEEN
                         That happened months ago? Why
                         hasn't it healed?

                                   TOBIN
                         I think it's about healed.

                                   COLLEEN
                         It's not even close to healed. It
                         looks like you got sliced with a
                         sword.

                                   TOBIN
                         Yeah, it was a sword.

                                   COLLEEN
                         You got a in a bar fight involving
                         swords? Who did you fight?

                                   TOBIN
                         I don't know their names. But
                         they're here a lot.

               Tobin looks around and then spots them.

                                   TOBIN (CONT'D)
                         There they are.

               Tobin motions with his drink towards 9 guys in ragged, black
               robes. None of their features can be seen.

                                   TOBIN (CONT'D)
                         They're ok guys.

                                   COLLEEN
                         Those guys? They're the Nazgul!

                                   TOBIN
                         I don't know that gang.

                                   COLLEEN
                         It's not a gang. It's 9 mortal
                         kings who were warped into wraiths
                         by the cursed rings of power that
                         the Dark Lord Sauron gave them. You
                         must have been stabbed by the Witch
                         King of Angmar who wields the
                         Morgul-blade. It is poisonous and
                         leaves wounds that never heal.

                                   TOBIN
                         Cool.

                                   COLLEEN
                         Cool?

                                   TOBIN
                         I don't know. I didn't actually
                         understand anything you just said.
                         I thought you thought scars were
                         sexy.

                                   COLLEEN
                         That is not a scar. It's an
                         unhealing wound. And it's hideous
                         looking.

                                   TOBIN
                         So I should put my shirt back on?

                                   COLLEEN
                         Yes.

               Tobin meekly puts his shirt on. The blood immediately begins
               soaking through.

                                   COLLEEN (CONT'D)
                         You should also get that looked at.

                                   TOBIN
                         I don't like going to doctors.

                                   COLLEEN
                         Doctors can't help. You need old
                         magic to heal a wound like that.
                         You should go to the elves in
                         Rivendell and see their high lord
                         Elrond.

                                   TOBIN
                         Are elves like doctors? 

                                   COLLEEN
                         This isn't an ordinary wound.

                                   TOBIN
                         It's sexier?

                                   COLLEEN
                         Forget that I said scars were sexy!

                                   TOBIN
                         I can't forget you baby.

                                   COLLEEN
                         We aren't flirting anymore.

                                   TOBIN
                         What'd I do wrong?

                                   COLLEEN
                         You showed me an oozing, gaping,
                         cursed wound that will most likely
                         cause you to die and turn into a
                         wraith and slave to the nazgul.

                                   TOBIN
                         I don't understand anything you
                         say.

               Tobin takes his drink and walks away.

               Colleen's friend SHARON comes over to the bar. Sharon is
               holding a cosmopolitan.

                                   SHARON
                         That's why you always go home
                         alone.

               Sharon takes her drink and walks away and steps over to a
               Nazgul who puts his arm on her back as they head out of the
               bar.

               Colleen rests her hand on her cheek.

               ONE BLACK OUT TO RULE THEM ALL!
