FADE IN: EXT. CLASSROOM - MORNING We are in the hallways of beautiful Spanish River Community High School in the heart of Boca Raton, FL. The single richest city in America. We are staring at a stable shot of a classrooms door. The door opens and we fade in to see a classroom with at least 30 students in it reacting to the teachers questions. We cant hear them, we begin to focus onto a particular area, than person. His name is Christian Hilliard, he is well built and curious looking. CHRISTIAN (O.V) The day you realize what your purpose on the earth is is the day your life truly begins. I remember that day very clearly. My purpose; to make money. We come into reality, we can hear everyone now: TEACHER Dont forget you have a quiz tommorow. The school bell rings, everyone packs their things and gets out of the room, including Christian. We follow Christian through the entire high school campus to the cafeteria. Christian is looking for one of his friends but he cant find him. He walks to a lone hallway and sits down staring catatonically at the wall. He see's a group of guys talking and hanging out. CHRISTIAN (VO) It was new to me. I was always used to having friends. Being at a new school was shit. CUT TO: EXT. HALLWAYS - DAY Brian and Christian are walking toward a group of kids; Stefano, John, Nick, Palmer and Mario.

BENCHES - DAY The crew, where everyone was standing before. We see each person mentioned in the following dialogue. CHRISTIAN(VO) Stefano, Brian, Mario, and Chris Rogers. The amazing thing about the whole deal was everyone made money, business in Boca Raton was at it's all time high for marijuana when I was in high school. But getting into the system required me to take risks i wouldnt have taken if i wasnt hopped up on drugs and alcohol. Christian walks away but we can tell he doesnt want to. We see a slight smile from him. Mad people notice him talking to the crew, people look at him oddly. CUT TO: MONTAGE All occuring throughout VO. EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY Christian, Nick, Palmer, Mario, Stefano and Brian are all walking through the parking lot along with thousands of other students going to their cars.

CHRISTIAN Where are we going? BRIAN We have to go do something before we drop you off. CHRISTIAN What's that? BRIAN Dont worry about it. We wont take long. The two cars pull into the driveway of a small townhouse. John is already there in his F-150. CHRISTIAN (VO) All the deals happened right after school so I was always there... Everyone gets out of the cars. BRIAN You can wait in the car Christian. STEFANO No it's straight he can come in. CHRISTIAN Alright. CUT TO: INT. GRANDMA'S - DAY The whole group walk into the house and take their seats around the living room. It looks like an old persons house. CHRISTIAN (VO) They all went down at John's grandma's house when she was away for the fall and summer. John takes out his huge ziploc of weed with 12 bags with ounces in them. He hands four to Brian, four to Stefano, and four to Mario. All three of them take our their scales and begin weighing out the weed in red cups as they displace them on the scales. Nick takes out a blunt and lights it up with Palmer, they dont hand it to Christian, he notices. STEFANO This shit is dense. JOHN Yeah it's from Hawaii or some shit. I dont know. I have to ask you though, who is this kid? John is looking at Christian. STEFANO That's my boy Christian, i forgot you havent met him yet. JOHN I seriously thought i was tripping out bro. Everyone has a laugh. Everyone puts their bags away and hand John his loot. He puts all the cash in large ziploc bags and than into a small black bag. They all begin to pass around the blunt. Christian's cell phone rings, he answers it. It's a cheap phone. CHRISTIAN Mom? Yeah, i'll be home soon. Alright. Bye. Stefano hands him the blunt, he hits it a few times and passes it on to Nick.

CHRISTIAN (VO) From that first time i hit that blunt i fell in love with weed. I was going to dinner with Stefano and Nick, i wanted to buy a bag from Stefano and the minimum he sold was 25 dollars worth. So that became my new favorite number....At least for a little bit.

Christian gets out of the car and runs to them, Brian backs off. Stefano knocks Art a few times, Art punches him a few times back. Christian comes in and lays out Art, Art falls and hits his head on the car. ART Ok ok stop! STEFANO You gave me fake bills you fuck! Stefano knocks him again. ART No, they were in the washer. Christian walks over and punches Art hard in the face at least six times until his nose is broken. ART (holding his nose) Money. Glove compartment.

Stefano knocks him one more time, he's unconcious. BRIAN Jesus. They all get into the car and drive off. We stay focused on Art in the car motionless.

STEFANO'S ROOM - AFTERNOON Christian, Stefano, Brian are sitting around the couch smoking a fat bowl. Jordan comes into the room. JORDAN What's Christian doing here? STEFANO You guys know eachother. CHRISTIAN You got a fucking problem? They all exchange looks. JORDAN No man, i was just suprised to see you. That's all. They continue talking but we only hear the voiceover. CHRISTIAN (VO) I got respect from people who knew i was tight with Stefano and Brian and all them. The downside was I got used to it, and when people didnt know I was with who I was with, there were problems. CUT TO: INT.

CHRISTIAN I want your address first and I want to make sure you will be living at the address for a while. VICTOR Ok, fine. CHRISTIAN I'm trusting you with alot of money. CHRISTIAN (VO) To be honest a little x money never hurt anyone. I had no connection to it, it was all just profit, no risk. At least that's what I thought.
