SCENE TEN
 
INT. DECREPIT WAREHOUSE (NIGHT CLUB PART)-NIGHT
 

Pokerface by Lady Gaga is playing right when Roulette’s hench woman pushes two metal doors open. Both Kade and Storm stand behind her. Only Storm is excited. Flashing lights flood into towards them as they step into a whole different world. Everything is a different color. It is dark with the lights flashing every now and then while fog rises into the air. Everywhere there are people dancing, talking, drinking while on an upper balcony there are tables every so many feet that are filled with people gambling while a dancer is in the middle of the table. It is like nothing Storm has ever seen before. She gawks at everything. The setting can be described as intergalactic.

 

Everybody parts while continuing to dance to let them through. Storm looks around at interesting horny couples. Sometimes there’s more than one girl on a guy then she’ll look somewhere to see two men making out before finding a man and a woman making out getting a little too serious. They approach some doors. Storm finds two girls making out who briefly stop to watch her walk by. Her cheeks turn bright red but in the flashing of the lights they look green, then purple and then blue.

 

Roulette’s hench woman leads them upstairs to an area that sort of looks over everything inside the room. Like a throne of the Roman empire who views the games. People are dancing in front of where Roulette is sitting. She is not seen at all. There are lots of people hanging around her throne area obscuring the view of her. Gradually, one person slips away before the next making way for Roulette’s hench woman, Storm and Kade.

 
 
MUSIC

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't

fun, fun
 
 

After the last ‘fun’ Roulette finally comes into view. She is sitting back in a large chair smiling at a woman who hangs on the armrest. Instantly, Storm’s jaw drops at how beautiful Roulette is. Slowly, Roulette turns her focus on them. She stands up clapping her hands together and all the people who once crowded the area scurry away as she stalks forward. They all watch from a distance before she comes to a stop before Kade and Storm. Behind her comes Ryker out of the shadows. He looks at the ground and Kade shakes his head.

 
 
ROULETTE

                                                Tsk, tsk. I am ashamed of you, Kaden. You

                                                have failed me yet again. My sexy baby is dead.

                                                Gone. All because of you and this stupid whore

                                                you brought along for the ride.

 
STORM

                                                Um excuse me, my name is Storm.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Savannah Storm daughter of Tolen Storm. Believe

                                                me I know. I know everything. How do you think

                                                I always won at these silly little gambling games?

 
STORM

                                                Um I don’t know.

 
ROULETTE

                                                You should keep this in mind: speak when spoken

                                                too other wise keep your lame-ass mouth shut. You’re

                                                way too innocent in my opinion.

 
 

Roulette sizes her up and pushes some of the hair out of her face.

 
 
ROULETTE

                                                What happened to your brain Kade?

 
KADE
                                                Huh?
 
ROULETTE

                                                Did that one darling steal it the other

                                                night?
 
KADE

                                                I rather not discuss that.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Sorry I forgot. You’re too proper to have

                                                a prostitute.

 
KADE

                                                Adam attacked us. That is why the car is

                                                ruined. I promise to find another one just

                                                like it in return. Please forgive Savannah.

 
ROULETTE

                                                I’m sick and tired of this!

 
KADE

                                                It’s not my…

 
ROULETTE
                                                Savannah, Georgia? What were we thinking?

                                                Kaden, we’re not meant for the south. We should

                                                be back in Los Angeles, New York City, London,

                                                Paris or wherever. Or those cities on the moon.
                                                Remember? Luna, Selene and Artemis?
 
STORM

                                                The moon?

 
ROULETTE

                                                Sweetie, how out of the loop are you? I own every

                                                single night club and gay bar that is on the moon.

 
STORM

                                                People live on the moon?

 
ROULETTE

                                                Well they have for many years now. Almost a hundred.

 
STORM

                                                I knew people were going to space all the time because of

                                                my dad but I didn’t realize…

 
ROULETTE

                                                I’m not your teacher. 

 
STORM
                                                Oh.
 
KADE

                                                We’ll discuss this later, Savannah. Meet me outside

                                                with Ryker.

 
ROULETTE

                                                I knew you were brilliant, Kaden.

 
 

Ryker come forward pushing Storm away even though she struggles a bit to watch Kade while he stands there staring at Roulette. Her lips move by the music drowns out her words. Soon they leave the place entirely.

 

Meanwhile, Kade stands there perfectly still trying to wash all emotion away from his face as he stands before Roulette. She is beautiful but there is something seductive about her that makes one feel nervous in her presence.

 
 
KADE

                                                What is it that you want to speak to me about?

 
ROULETTE

                                                It’s getting too hot here.

 
KADE

                                                You’re kidding.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Adam is a jackass idiot.

 
KADE

                                                How long did it take you to figure that out?

 
ROULETTE

                                                Don’t you wish to return home?

 
KADE
                                                No.
 
ROULETTE

                                                Not that home.

 
KADE

                                                Um explain?

 
ROULETTE

                                                To space. The universe. Gaia suffocates me.

 
KADE

                                                Earth, most people still call it Earth.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Gaia is prettier.

 
KADE
                                                Whatever.
 
ROULETTE

                                                The moon was exciting. Thrilling. But there are other

                                                places. Like Ares, Mars there’s even Cycnus, Mars. Or

                                                Cronus, Saturn. There’s so many oppurtunities. As long

                                                as we don’t venture to places like Ariel, Umbriel, Titan,

                                                Dionae, Rhea…or well, any other moon but Gaia’s. Also

                                                there’s the other galaxies we have to worry about.

 
KADE
                                                            (distant)
                                                Andromeda.
 
ROULETTE

                                                Well of course we’re not going there! I told you we

                                                weren’t going home.

 
KADE

                                                I can’t leave.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Well why?

 
KADE

                                                I think I’m in love with that ‘stupid whore’ that I

                                                brought along tonight.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Well that’s a stinkin’ plot twist in your life.

 
KADE

                                                You don’t understand…

 
ROULETTE

                                                Love is love and it sucks. Sometimes literally.

 
KADE

                                                I don’t want to know.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Bring this team with you. They’re the best.

 
KADE

                                                Savannah didn’t even know about people living

                                                everywhere else.

 
ROULETTE

                                                She had a strict mother.

 
KADE

                                                How do you know?

 
ROULETTE

                                                I told you, I know everything.

 
KADE

                                                Well I’m cooler.

 
ROULETTE

                                                If you insist.

 
KADE
                                                Maybe.
 
ROULETTE

                                                You’re right. I am better.

 
KADE

                                                Not about that. I might come with you if

                                                everybody comes otherwise we remain here.

 
ROULETTE

                                                You steal cars for a living, Kaden. When I say

                                                a living, I really mean it. You steal to have

                                                money so you can buy food.

 
KADE

                                                Speaking of.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Are you blind?

 
KADE

                                                Some days.

 
ROULETTE

                                                I’m familiar with selective hearing but so much

                                                selective sight.

 
KADE

                                                Well Roulette, you should know. I’m special.

 
ROULETTE

                                                And that you are.

 
 

She throws cash at him. It slams to the ground and she starts to back away sliding her feet across the rough surface of the balcony. Kade picks it up while watching her closely. A smile spreads across Roulette’s face as she sits down on her throne.

 
 
ROULETTE

                                                Let me know.

 
KADE

                                                Always do.

 
ROULETTE

                                                That’s why I love you little brother.

 
KADE

                                                Don’t call me that.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Why not?

 
KADE

                                                I’m not your brother by blood.

 
ROULETTE

                                                Do you think I care?

 
KADE

                                                Adam brings it up.

 
ROULETTE

                                                We are one big family. Not one big

                                                happy family though.

 
KADE

                                                I figured.

 
ROULETTE
                                                Leave.
 
KADE
                                                What?
 
ROULETTE

                                                I want you to leave. You’re dismissed. Go

                                                away. Bye Kaden.
 
KADE
                                                Bye.
 
 

Kade turns around. Another song is playing. The Logical Song by Scooter (originally done by Supertramp) blares over the loud speakers as he walks away strolling not to move to the beat of the music with all the people dancing around him along with the flashing lights.

 
 
MUSIC

                                                When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds

in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible,

practical. And they showed me a world where I could

be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical.
