GINA
Oh, no, no, no, Charlotte..
please tell me we’re
not going to do
something stupid.
CHARLOTTE
(pensively)
Gina… We are the Go-Go’s…
It wouldn’t be right if we
didn’t do something stupid.
GINA
(agonizing)
Oh, God, here we go.
JANE
Charlotte, what do you have in
mind? We ARE going to call the
police, right? Please tell me we’re
going to call the police.
CHARLOTTE
We’re not going to call
the police, Jane.
JANE
Dammit!
I begged you
not to tell me that.
BELINDA
Charlotte, what are
you thinking?
I didn’t do anything wrong…
Let’s call the police…
Or, at least, an ambulance.
CHARLOTTE
We’re going to bury his
ass in the backyard.
GINA
Yeah, that’s something
stupid, alright.
JANE
We’re going to
do WHAT?
CHARLOTTE
You heard me…
We’re going to
bury this guy in the backyard.
JANE
Oh, no, we’re not!!
We are doing no such thing!
Charlotte, have you
gone completely insane?
We’ll get caught!
There’s no way we’ll get
away with such a thing.
CHARLOTTE
Sure we will…
No one will see us…
I told you, I’ll send
the entire staff home.
Even the security.
JANE
And what, exactly, are
you planning on telling
the staff? Huh? Don’t you
think they’ll be a little
bit suspicious when you
send them all home?
CHARLOTTE
I don’t know…
I’ll tell them we all
wanna go skinny-dipping
or something.
BELINDA
Oh, that’s just great, Charlotte.
Now they’re all gonna think
we’re a bunch of dykes.
GINA
I got news for ya’ pal.
They already think that.
BELINDA
(suspiciously)
Oh, really?
And why is that, Gina?
GINA
(sheepishly)
I don’t know…
I don’t know what
you’re talkin’ about.
Belinda rolls
her eyes.
JANE
Alright, we’re getting off the
subject, here! Charlotte, we are
not burying this man in the
back yard and that is final!!
Do you hear me?!
CHARLOTTE
I hear you, Jane…
But you’re
forgetting one thing.
JANE
What?!
CHARLOTTE
We’re in a lot of trouble here…
I mean, we could lose everything…
Belinda could get charged with
reckless homicide.
Jane looks
around in shock.
She doesn’t
believe it.
Meanwhile,
Belinda hears this
and breaks down.
BELINDA
(crying)
Oh, God…
JANE
(comforting Belinda)
It’s okay, baby… I told you,
I won’t let anything happen
to you.
CHARLOTTE
I hope you mean that, Jane.
Because this might be the
only solution.
JANE
(angrily)
Charlotte, you are such a
fuckin’ bitch!! How can you
be so cold about this?!
Charlotte just
shrugs her
shoulders and
does not reply.
Subsequently,
as she comforts
Belinda, Jane manages
to look over to the end
of the bed where
Kathy is standing.
JANE
Kathy, how come you’re
being so quiet about this?
I want you to tell the boss-lady
that she’s being ridiculous…
We are not burying someone
in the backyard.
Kathy looks up
from staring at
the ground. She
looks around at
everybody and
stammers…
KATHY
Umm.. actually…
I agree with Charlotte.
Everyone is
surprised.
JANE
What?!
GINA
Oh, come on, Kath! …
We always look to
you to be the voice
of reason… sometimes.
JANE
Yeah!
Kathy feels
like shit, but
knows she must
carry through.
KATHY
Well, it’s just that I…
think we should stick
together, that’s all…
I agree…
We have to do what’s
right for Belinda.
BELINDA
(sobbing)
But Kathy, I didn’t do
anything wrong.
KATHY
I know, honey…
But the police
might not see it that way.
CHARLOTTE
That’s right.
It looks as
if a conclusion
has been drawn.
JANE
I don’t believe this!
This can’t be happening!!
We are actually going
to bury a man in the
backyard of our house! …
Has the whole world
lost it’s head?!!
