INT. mansion, Jule Pond Dr. water mill, Ny. Friday 10:50 pm

Opening scene camera pans in from the outside showing a large estate, shedding light on a large ballroom set up for a party. The guest is already there, mingling, talking in small groups.

After a full scan of the room, the camera lands on a clock showing the time. than fades to two figures talking, one a man who is facing the camera. the other one is a woman but only her voice is heard.

Herman: So how did you enjoy the show?

Woman Voice: It wass, wonderful... Especially watching that hansom young man performing. Tony, was it? Yes, Tony Richards.

Herman: Ah, yes. His performance tonight was spot on. Never missing a beat, there should be no doubt about him winning his second Tony Award.

Woman Voice: Well, I am throwing this party to celebrate a phenomenal closing show. Besides, I'm sponsoring his next show.

Herman: Do you think he'll be as good as the other ones?

Woman Voice: I guess we'll find out later.

Camera pans around the room again this time landing on Tony Richards.

Shaking the hands of another guest, Tony is approached by a familiar face.

Kayla: What was that about?

Tony: Not sure, He approached us (referring to the woman standing next to him), earlier tonight after we left the theater. He's a Broadway director and wanted us to be in his next show in Los Angeles.

Sofia: Yes, I can't believe I get to play lead in a Broadway show!! It's like a dream come true.

Kayla: Wow! That's amaze Sofia. I'm so happy for you. I guess I got to audition to be your understudy.

Sofia: No need, I make sure you get in. Anyway, did you hear that the rumors?

Both Tony and Kayla exchange a glance, their interest peek.

Sofia: Well, have you meet our host for the night? You might not want to get to close Tony....

With a look of confusion, Tony started to speak but Sofia cut him off.

Sofia: Well the rumor is that she's a stalker chic, and the guy she went after was an up and coming musician who name was starting to get some real attention just went missing.

Tony: Really Sofia? Would you cool it with those wild stories.

Sofia: Aw, come on Tony. You looooove my wild stories.

Tony: Yeah, when they have some type of relevance to something important. Besides, what can an old cougar do to me that I wouldn't allow?

Sofia: Did you get a chance to meet her? I heard she's an heiress.

Tony: I did hear she was loaded. If I could just talk to her that would be great, I need a sugar mamma anyway... This acting thing can wear you out.

Sofia: Don't you mean all the woman?

Tony: Nooo... The chics I can handle when I have time... It just the schedule gets crazy.

Sofia: Suck it up, you wuss.

Tony: I got something you could suck...

Sofia: Fuck off.

Kayla: Twinkle, Twinkle, little slut, name one guy you haven't suck.

Sofia rolls her eyes in the typical way that woman do.

Tony: Keep rolling your eyes, you might find a brain back there.

As Tony and the ladies laughs at their own jokes, the camera pans around the room to land on a shadowy figure, watching Tony with hungry eyes.

Herman: Stare any longer, he might just come over.

Woman Voice: Come now, I was just seeing what the young man was up to Herman.

Herman steps to her side, while she continues to watch Tony.

Herman: Well if you’re interested in him, you might want to take your chance now because he'll be going back to L.A. for an upcoming show.

Woman Voice: And what makes you think that I care. Men wait for me not the other way around. Besides, he'll seek me out later.

Herman: Can you be so sure?

Woman Voice: Darling, what man have you known been able to resist the fresh smell of money? Huh... You though that I would try that again. No, my friend, I have plenty of ways of getting what I want.

Herman: Yeah but, the last...

Woman Voice: Wass a mistake! One I care not to duplicate. It's been a while sense I seen a young man with such... Flavor.

INT. ballroom foyer

Tony: Man... I think I drunk a little too much.

Herman: The lady of the house would like a word sir.

Tony: Sure, is she in her bedroom?

Herman: No. Follow me sir.

As they walk down the hall the camera pans along the walls of the mansion. they are decorated with portraits of famous actors, artists, musicians and a few politicians.

Woman Voice: Are you okay darling?

Tony: Yeah, fine, I think I....

Realizing who he's talking to tries to straighten up.

Tony: Hi. You are...

Woman Voice: Yes, yes, I'm the host this evening, Ellen Kodan. You look like you could use a ride home.

Tony: I'll be fine. My friends...

Ellen: Are long gone. We are the only ones here, besides the cleaning crew.

Tony looks around to see that these are not party guess, but now are in fact cleaning.

Ellen: Let’s go. It's late and I would like to get some sleep.

Tony: Sure, I have a flight out of here tomorrow night anyway. So, we can go all night long.

Ellen: Great. Before we go, here drink this. It should help sober you up a little.

Tony: Thanks.

They head to the exit but instead of Tony getting sober he losses consciousness.

INT. bedroom location unknown

Tony wakes up and tries to stand. Not sure why he can't move, he opens his eyes.

Tony: I made it home?

Trying to sit up again still woozy and groggy, he looks to his side and sees that his hands are bound, as well as his legs.

Tony: What the fuck type of party was I at.

Ellen: I see you finally woke, how was your sleep?

Tony: Yeah, fuck all that. What the fucks going on?

Ellen: Relax... We're playing a game.

She approaches him fully nude with a Polaroid camera.

Tony: Listen you crazy old bat, if you still want to get fucked all you had to do was ask. So, untie me. I'll knock that dust off that dried up cunt and be on my way.

Ellen laughs as she snaps a picture, then curls up on the bed next to Tony.

Ellen: I have no intention of doing such a thing. You won't be going anywhere... Darling.

Tony: What? Aright, look you crazy bitch, I got friends that'll be looking for me so....

Ellen: HA... You been here for two weeks. I think your friends gave up. Besides, you told them your giving up theater and traveling the world.

Tony: No one would believe that.

Ellen: Unless, you made a video stating the fact.

Confused, Tony looks to the camera, then to Ellen. A sharp pain hits him.

Tony: Ahhh! What the fuck. What the...

Looking down, Tony finally sees why couldn't move. His arms and legs were bound but that wasn't to keep him restrained. It was to keep his limbs still while they were being amputated.

Ellen: You think I would let a delicious morsel like you get away.

She said as parts of Tony was being slice off. Tony fainted again.
