Title
3 INT. JULIETTE’S BATHROOM - MORNING
JULIETTE, 18, dressed for a funeral is washing her face in
the sink. She raises her head to look at herself in the
mirror. She is shaking, stressed, sad.
JULIETTE’S MOTHER
(O.S, shouting from downstair)
Juliette! Ton père t’attend devant!
Dépêche toi.
JULIETTE
(To herself)
Je sais...
4 EXT. FRONT OF CHURCH - DAY
A car parks in the street. Juliette goes out of the car from
the front door. She kisses her father on the cheek. She
starts walking towards the church. Her father drives away.
Some people enter the church, others smoke or talk outside.
She enters the church.
2.
JULIETTE
You really want me to sit with him?
JOSH
Hey, come on, we were her best
friends, let’s do this together.
She looks at him, not very entertained.
JOSH
You don’t have to talk. Just come.
MIKE
I am just saying... every thing was
fine before she met him.
Juliette looks in front of her.
JOSH
(Giving it to Emma)
Ladies first.
NEIGHBOUR
(loud, angry)
Can you please lower the volume?
We’re trying to sleep here.
MIKE
Oh shut up.
Emma and Josh laugh. Juliette puts her hand on Mike’s mouth.
JULIETTE
Shuuush! He’s an asshole... He’s
gonna piss of my parents.
JOSH
(Laughing, putting the volume
down on the speaker)
Have a minimum of respect man.
EMMA
(taking a last puff, with a
rastafari accent) Yah man.
4.
MIKE
(Confused but smiling)
Yeah, sure, take my seat.
He then sits where Emma was seated. Emma smells something.
EMMA
(to Juliette)
C’est le parfum que je t’ai offert?
JULIETTE
Ouais, il sent trop bon. (she
smiles)
Mike looks at them. He then takes his phone. A rap music
starts, louder then the music before.
EMMA
What the fuck Mike! Put the fucking
volume down. And seriously, I hate
rap!
Mike imitates her ironically, turning the volume down. Emma
glances at him with a dagger look. He doesn’t notice.
JULIETTE
(looking at Emma)
Il est chiant, il fait toujours ça.
MIKE
(To Josh)
What the fuck dude...
5.
EMMA
(raising her head to look at
Mike)
Oh t’as gueule toi.
Mike looks at her with a smile. Emma puts her head back on
Juliette’s shoulder.
Pause. Juliette looks away and smiles, happy. Mike is
looking at Emma. He feels impatient.
JOSH
(trying to change subject, ironic)
So...Anyways, tomorrow, what’s the
plan
EMMA
I told you bro, can’t do tomorrow.
JOSH
(playful)
Hmm, you’re seing the french dude
again, right?
EMMA
He’s cool.
MIKE
He seems so weird.
EMMA
He’s not weird... he’s just not
like you.
JOSH
Oh, he doesn’t have to be there.
Juliette raises her head up.
JULIETTE
(loudly whispering to him)
What the fuck man. Do you really
think I feel like that because of
him?
MIKE
Shut up guys, it’s gonna start.
Juliette looks at him with disgust. With a fake smile, she
breathes from her nose, annoyed. She then looks away.
Pause. The camera focuses on her, panicked, starting to
breath more and more heavily. She suddenly stands up and
walks out of the church. Josh nearly stands up but Mike
stops him by grabbing his shoulder.
MIKE
Leave her alone man. That’s what
she wants.
Josh looks at Juliette leaving.
Juliette arrives outside and sees BEN, 23, with flowers in
his hands, seated against the church. Juliette stops and
stairs at him.
8 INT. BEN’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Juliette and Ben, black hoodie, are seated on the living
room’s sofas. Emma is standing in front of a painting.
Juliette is looking at her. Ben is looking at an art
magazine. Rap music is playing in the background.
Emma notices a cardboard box, opened, on the floor near her.
She takes out a led tube light out of it.
7.
EMMA
C’est quoi ça?
BEN
Des lumières pour samedi.
EMMA
Whah, you’re taking your party very
seriously!
JULIETTE
Bah il a trop raison, ca va être
trop cool!
Ben smiles.
EMMA
Ca va, de temps en temps...
Juliette looks at Ben, surprised. Ben shrugs with a smile.
Pause. Emma looks at her phone on the coffee table in front
of her, and starts smiling. She then takes it and starts
typing
BEN
C’est qui?
EMMA
(looking at her phone)
Josh.
Ben looks at Juliette not knowing who Josh is.
JULIETTE
(To Ben, surprised)
Elle t’en a jamais parlé?
Ben turns his head towards Emma still confused.
EMMA
(Still on her phone)
Mais si... Josh, Juliette, Mike...
8.
BEN
Josh..? Ah... mais si Mike! C’est-
EMMA
(cutting him off while putting
her phone on the table)
Son mec.
Emma does a nervous smile. Ben looks at her confused.
EMMA
On est tous meilleur pote depuis
toujours!
Emma looks at Juliette smiling. Juliette smiles confused.
EMMA
(to ben, showing something by
nodding with her head)
Faut vraiment arrêter cette merde.
Ben shrugs and smiles. Juliette then looks where Emma was
nodding. We notice a "crystal meth pipe" on the table.
Juliette does a confused sighs.
JULIETTE
C’est pour la beuh?
EMMA
Crystal meth!
Pause. Juliette is confused. Shocked.
BEN
T’inquiète, ça m’aide juste à
composer.
JULIETTE
Tu composes?
EMMA
(proud of her friend)
Ouais il fait de la musique.
JULIETTE
Oh trop cool! On pourrait écouter?
EMMA
(surprised)
Nan? C’est toi?
Ben smiles.
JULIETTE
Ah tu fais du rap?
EMMA
Dude, c’est tellement cool! La
basse est hyper puissante, c’est
grave bouncy! C’est trop bon!
Juliette looks at her surprised. Emma takes the remote and
puts the music louder. She dances for a few seconds, moving
her head and her upper body. Juliette, still looking at her,
feels increasingly surprised, a bit sad for her. Ben looks
at her, happy.
BEN
(Standing up)
Je vais me faire un café.
Juliette turns her head to see them exiting the room. She
turns her head away from them, but still hears them talking
and laughing. She looks jealous and smiles trying to feel
happy for them.
BEN
Je peux pas rentrer là dedans...
J’ai pas le droit...
10.
JULIETTE
T’as surtout pas envie crois moi.
Genre, ils sont tous là, a nous
dévisager...
JOSH
Have you seen Emma, by the way?
Josh proposes wine to Juliette, who removes her empty glass
and says no with her head.
11.
JULIETTE
Why are you all looking for Emma?
She’s free, leave her alone!
JOSH
(surprised by her reaction)
What?
Emma arrives behind Juliette and hugs her. She is high,
chewing with a big smile.
JOSH
Oh, hey, where have you been?
EMMA
Upstairs. (She smiles) With Ben.
JULIETTE
Again?
Emma smiles to Juliette, eyes nearly closed. She then starts
taking a cigarette out of a pack she has on her. Josh looks
at her, analyse her look, he behaviour.
EMMA
(happy, excited)
Let’s go smoke inside.
JOSH
(continuing)
For fuck sake... just get your shit
together. But I am staying here.
(to Juliette) Stay here.
EMMA
Viens danser.
JULIETTE
(embarked to the dance floor)
Emma, faut que je te parle.
EMMA
(walking with Juliette)
Just danse, on parlera après.
JULIETTE
Emma, t’es bizarre en ce moment.
EMMA
Quoi? C’est Josh qui est bizarre.
Mais t’inquiète pas il va s’calmer.
They arrive in the middle of the dance floor. Emma starts
dancing closer to Juliette
JULIETTE
(embarrassed)
Arrête.
EMMA
(dancing)
Tous?
JULIETTE
Bah tout le monde, je sais pas.
Déjà moi...Josh, Mike-
EMMA
(Smiling, lovingly)
Mike...
EMMA
(in Juliette’s hear)
Aller, danse!
Emma starts dancing closer to Juliette. The dance become
more and more sexual. Juliette doesn’t know what to do. Emma
looks at her, charms her with her eyes. Juliette, a bit
uncomfortable, finally let it go, and starts looking at her
in the eyes. Emma tries to avoid her look but finally stops
dancing. Juliette then does a step forward and starts
kissing Emma. They kisses for a couple of seconds. Emma then
does a step backward. She is confused. She looks at her,
switching from an uncomfortable tiny smile to a very
confused face. Juliette looks at her, and starts smiling,
more and more comfortably. She then throw herself back on
Emma and kisses her again. Emma then tries to stop her but
Juliette won’t let it go. Emma finally pushes her away and
does a step backwards. She doesn’t understand. She is
scared. She looks at her walking backward and then turns
back and starts leaving the dance floor, to take the stairs.
Juliette stares at Emma, whipping her mouth, eyes squinting,
smile on her lips.
JULIETTE
(raising her head up)
Si ça se trouve tu dis que des
conneries mec! Tu l’as drogué, je
l’ai presque violé... C’est notre
faute. Mais il y a rien plus rien a
faire
14.
The camera starts from EMMA, 18, dead on the ground, goes up
and shows a window opened, just above Emma’s body. After a
few seconds, the camera moves a bit to the side, still
looking at the window, to reveal Juliette, hidden from the
crowd downstairs, on the side of the window, looking at
Emma’s body. We then go to a close up of Juliette, looking
at her shaking hands. She then looks at the camera and
smile.
