FADE IN:

1 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 1

Both Stitch and his girlfriend Chelsea, nineteen, sit on opposite sides of the sofa to each other. Stitch is average height, slim, good-looking and has an air
of innocence and naivety about him. He is dressed casually. On his right wrist are wristbands.

Chelsea is tall, pretty and not overtly confident. What you see is what you get. They talk with Therapist, who remains off-screen for the entirety of the meeting.

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Would you mind introducing yourselves for me?

STITCH
I’m Stitch.

CHELSEA
And I’m Chelsea.

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Okay. And how long have you been seeing each other?

STITCH
About a week, I’d say.

CHELSEA
Ten days, thirteen hours, fortyfive minutes to be precise.

STITCH
(faces Chelsea)
How would you even know that?

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Would you say that you both get along?

Stitch and Chelsea look to each other before answering.

STITCH + CHELSEA
Yes.

THERAPIST (O.S.)
What went wrong?

CHELSEA
Trust. I can’t trust him no more.

STITCH
(points to Chelsea)
She is just as bad as I am!

CHELSEA
You’re trying to show me in a bad light. I get it.

Chelsea turns away from Stitch. Determined to hide her guilt.

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Why don’t you tell me what happened from the beginning? Stitch, we’ll start with you.

STITCH
I was in my room watching this cool video on Youtube...

2 INT. STITCH’S BEDROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK 2

Stitch sits at the desk watching porn on his laptop. Headphones are connected to the laptop, preventing anyone else from hearing. Emphasis on male and female moaning. An open can of coke rests on the desk. Stitch picks up the can of coke and takes a sip. He places it back down.

There is a knock on the bedroom door. Stitch quickly removes the headphones and closes the laptop. The door opens and Stitch’s best friend Seth, nineteen, enters. He has a tub of ice cream in his hands, which he eats.

SETH
Dude, the door.

3 INT. STITCH AND SETH’S HALLWAY - DAY - FLASHBACK 3

Stitch opens the front door and sees Chelsea standing in the doorway of the house.

CHELSEA
Will you go out with me?

STITCH
As friends or...

CHELSEA
(smiles)
I don’t know. That all depends on...surprise me.

STITCH
When are you free?

CHELSEA
Sunday. I hope that won’t be a problem for you?

Stitch breaks into a smile.

STITCH
Sunday it is.

4 INT. STITCH AND SETH’S DINING ROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK

Seth leans against the table and eats the ice cream. Stitch lays on the sofa moaning to himself.

SETH
Why don’t you just tell her you can’t afford it?

STITCH
Are you crazy? It will make things worse cos she’ll want to know what I’ve spent it on.

SETH
What have you spent it on?

STITCH
You know, stuff.

SETH
Have you thought about getting a job?

STITCH
(scoffs)
Don’t be stupid.

SETH
At least give it a shot. You never know, you might actually find something by Saturday.

Stitch lays, taking in the advice.

5 INT. STITCH’S BEDROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK 5

Stitch sits at the desk with a Jobs section of the local newspaper out in front of him. Several part time job adverts have been circled. Also in front of him is his mobile and a pen. Stitch picks up his mobile. He punches in the first number
and rings it. The call is answered.

STITCH
Hi. I was ringing in regards to your job advert in the paper.

The call is hung up.

STITCH (CONT’D)
Uh, hello?

Stitch crosses out the first job advert in the newspaper.

STITCH (CONT’D)
That’s okay. I can live with that.

Stitch punches in the number from the second advert and rings it. The call is also answered.

STITCH (CONT’D)
Hi, there. I was ringing up about your advert in the paper. (a beat) Oh, it’s been taken? Thank you for your time.

Stitch ends the call.

STITCH (CONT’D)
(mutters)
Fuck you very much.

He crosses out that advert. He punches in the number of the third advert and rings it. That too is answered.

STITCH (CONT’D)
Hi. I was ringing up about your job advert in the paper. Yes, I’m sure. I’m looking at it now. Yes, it’s in date. (sighs) I think I’ll just go now.

Stitch ends the call, fed up; his chances of finding a part time job looking less likely. He comes across an advert by Photographer Augustus. It reads ‘Male and Female models required. Must be aged 18 or over.’ Stitch picks up his mobile and punches in the contact number. He rings it and the call is answered almost straight away.

STITCH (CONT’D)
Hi, yeah. I was ringing up about your advert in the paper. I’m eighteen.(smiles)If I don’t say so myself.

6 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 6

CHELSEA
Urgh, you’re so full of yourself.

Stitch faces Chelsea, annoyed by her interruption.

STITCH
Do you mind?

7 INT. STITCH’S BEDROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK 7

Stitch continues talking to Augustus on his mobile.

STITCH
My name? It’s Hairy, I mean Harry.

Stitch looks at the items around the room which he can use for a potential alias.

STITCH (CONT’D)
Harry Fourwalls. Cash. Yes, I’m free Saturday. I know the place.

FADE TO BLACK.

Hey, gorgeous.

End Montage.

Stitch picks up his wallet, mobile, keys and iPod from the desk and pockets them. Seth awakens, mumbling. He sits up, facing Stitch.

SETH
Dude, it’s like seven am.

STITCH
You know you could try sleeping in your room every once in a while.

Seth lays back down, still moaning.

12 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 12

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Hold on. Hold on. You’re saying your housemate Seth sleeps on your floor every night? Why is this?

STITCH
He obviously has some issues with company.

CHELSEA
(mouths)
He’s weird.

STITCH
Please do not insult my friends. Do I insult yours?

CHELSEA
No.

STITCH
Exactly. I rest my case.

13 INT. PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO - DAY - FLASHBACK

Stitch signs his name on the bottom of the contract. Augustus, mid-twenties, flamboyant, stands before him with a camera in his hands.

AUGUSTUS
Okay, Mr Fourwalls. If you’d care to follow me, please.

Augustus leads Stitch to the centre of the room.

AUGUSTUS (CONT’D)
Now, take a few steps back, if you will.

Augustus looks through the lens of the camera as Stitch takes three steps back.

AUGUSTUS (CONT’D)
A little more.

Stitch continues moving slowly backwards.

STITCH
How about now?

AUGUSTUS
Did I tell you to stop?

STITCH
No.

AUGUSTUS
Well, then.

STITCH
(mutters)
Jeez.

Stitch takes yet another step back.

AUGUSTUS
Whoa! That’s it right there. Smile.

STITCH
Remind me why I’m wearing this.

AUGUSTUS
I like beaches.(steps back) Smile.

Stitch forces a smile. Augustus takes two photographs.

AUGUSTUS (CONT’D)
Now, I’d like the moody teen look. Think Twilight, but sexier. Much sexier.

Stitch scowls. Augustus takes another two photographs.

AUGUSTUS (CONT’D)
Very nice. Now, I need you to take off the shorts.

STITCH
Whoa, wait a minute. You never mentioned I’d be nude.

AUGUSTUS
Do you have a tiny penis?

STITCH
No!(a beat)It’s not that small. Girls have never complained about it before.

AUGUSTUS
Need I remind you, you signed the contract?

Stitch sighs, defeated.

AUGUSTUS (CONT’D)
No one you know needs to find out about this. It’ll be our little secret...and potentially a million others.

STITCH
And that’s supposed to encourage me?

AUGUSTUS
Think of it on the bright side. You may get more pussy. Downside - people may laugh at your small penis.

STITCH
I don’t have a small...

Stitch exhales. He reluctantly removes the swimming shorts and kicks them away from him. Augustus takes a number of photographs of Stitch naked.

AUGUSTUS
Definitely small.

FADE TO BLACK.

14 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 14

Both Seth and Stitch’s stalker Tiffany, nineteen, sit on opposite ends of the sofa to each other. Tiffany looks really quite innocent.

THERAPIST (O.S.)
Now what appears to be the problem with you?

TIFFANY
I don’t know where to start.

SETH
(faces Tiffany)
How about the part when you decided to deceive me?

15 INT. STITCH AND SETH’S HALLWAY - DAY - FLASHBACK

A parcel is pushed through the letter box. Seth exits the dining room and picks it up. He sees it is addressed to Harry.

SETH
Harry Fourwalls?

16 EXT. STITCH AND SETH’S FRONT GARDEN - DAY - FLASHBACK 16

Tiffany anxiously paces up and down the driveway. She holds a bouquet of flowers.

TIFFANY
Act natural. Act natural.

Tiffany bangs on the front door. It opens and Seth stands in the doorway of the house.

SETH
Hey. Tiffany.

TIFFANY
Hi, Seth.

SETH
(points to the flowers) Are those for me?

TIFFANY
Yes. I hope you like them.

Tiffany hands the flowers to Seth.

SETH
Thank you.

TIFFANY
I should probably...

SETH
Come in?

Tiffany forces a smile. She reluctantly enters. Seth closes the door.

17 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY

THERAPIST
Those really are quite forceful words to use, Seth.

SETH
(faces Tiffany)
Go on, Tiff. Tell her.

TIFFANY
Over the past few months, I’ve developed a bit of an interest in Stitch.

SETH
(points to Tiffany)
She keeps a book filled with photos of him!

TIFFANY
(blushes)
I do not. Don’t listen to him.

18 INT. TIFFANY’S BEDROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK 18

Tiffany sits at the desk browsing casually through her scrapbook. Each page she turns is filled with images of Stitch.

19 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 19

TIFFANY
Anyway, a friend of mind told me that in order to get the desired attention from him, I had to flirt with someone close to him. I did what I had to do to get the man I truly love.

20 INT. STITCH AND SETH’S DINING ROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK

Tiffany sits alone on the settee. Awkward. Seth sits beside her.

SETH
You don’t know how happy I am you came over. Thought it was just me who felt something.

Tiffany roles her eyes.

SETH (CONT’D)
This is nice.

TIFFANY
What do you say we go somewhere more private?

Seth gulps anxiously.

21 INT. SETH’S BEDROOM - DAY - FLASHBACK 21

Seth and Tiffany sit beside each other on the bed. Nothing.

TIFFANY
I’m thirsty. Would you mind getting me a drink?

Seth smiles. He stands up and exits.

Tiffany also stands up and searches through the contents of the room. She spots a pair of kinky handcuffs hanging over a shelf. She then spots the parcel on the desk. She picks it up and opens it. She looks at the photographs of Stitch. She puts the parcel back down as Seth re-enters with a glass of water in his hands.

TIFFANY (CONT’D)
Thank you.

Tiffany takes a sip of water. She places the glass down on the desk. She then points to the handcuffs.

TIFFANY (CONT’D)
How often are those used?

22 INT. SETH’S BEDROOM - LATER - FLASHBACK 22

Seth is handcuffed to the bed, completely naked. His privates are covered by a pillow. Tiffany towers over him. Powerful.

SETH
This is a little uncomfortable.

TIFFANY
Why do you have nude photos of Stitch?

SETH
What?!

Tiffany picks up the parcel and opens it. She shows the photographs to Seth.

SETH (CONT’D)
I’ve never seen those before in my life! (a beat) Please can you let me go?

TIFFANY
No chance.

SETH
I...I thought you liked me.

TIFFANY
You wish.

Tiffany picks up one of Seth’s socks and gags him with it. His shouts come across as mear muffled sounds. He desperately tries to break free, but to no avail.

TIFFANY (CONT’D)
I’ll be taking these.

Tiffany exits with the photographs of Stitch. The front door can be heard slamming shut as she leaves the house.

23 INT. STITCH AND SETH’S DINING ROOM - EVENING - FLASHBACK

The table has been neatly laid. A meal for two. Chelsea pours herself and Stitch a glass of wine. Stitch carries over two plates of food. Each are microwave meals. He places them down on the table. They both sit down.

STITCH
I hope you like it.

They eat.

CHELSEA
Ooh, try the wine.

Stitch takes a sip of wine. Although detesting it, he smiles as if he enjoyed it.

STITCH
Delicious.

CHELSEA
My parents drink it all the time. They’re not alcoholics.

Silence. Faint banging can be heard from inside Seth’s bedroom.

STITCH
What’s that noise?

24 INT. SETH’S BEDROOM - EVENING - FLASHBACK 24

The bedroom door opens and Stitch and Chelsea enter. They gasp at the sigh of Seth handcuffed to the bed. Stitch removes the sock from Seth’s mouth. Seth breaths
deeply before starting his rant.

SETH
You’ve got some explaining to do!

STITCH
Me?!

CHELSEA
Looks like you’ve got some to do as well.

SETH
Tiffany told me she wanted to go some place quiet. I thought I was getting lucky, but no. Six hours! Six fucking hours I’ve been like this! (faces Stitch)And it’s all your fault! She foundsome nude photos of you.

CHELSEA
Nude?

STITCH
Why would you even have those sort of pictures of me?

SETH
It wasn’t intentional. A package came through the door this morning. It was for Harry Fourwalls.

CHELSEA
(faces Stitch)
Care to explain yourself?

STITCH
All right. I needed the money. I found this advert in the paper asking for models, so I put myself forward. If it’s any consolation, I didn’t realise I’d have to get
naked.

CHELSEA
Wait. You did that? Oh, God. I did it too.

STITCH
You went to Augustus?

Chelsea nods, embarrassed.

STITCH (CONT’D)
How dare you. I am disgusted. Why would you even do something like that?!

CHELSEA
You’re a far one to talk.

STITCH
It’s okay for me. I’m a guy.

CHELSEA
Nice, Stitch.

Chelsea storms to the door. She stops and turns back to face Stitch.

CHELSEA (CONT’D)
The dinner was shit!

Chelsea exits. The front door can be heard slamming shut as Chelsea leaves the house.

SETH
Uh, any chance you’ll be able to get me out of these?

25 INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE - DAY 25

THERAPIST (O.S.)
You both made a stupid mistake. Why can’t you just put it behind you?

CHELSEA
I suppose.(faces Stitch) I’m sorry.

STITCH
I’m sorry, too.

Stitch and Chelsea stand up. They hold hands as they walk to the door.

26 INT. PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO - DAY 26

Seth stands in the middle of the room wearing only a pair of swimming shorts. Augustus takes a photograph of him.

SETH
How much do I get paid for this?

AUGUSTUS
I’ll make sure you’re well looked after. Say cheese.

FADE OUT.
