Description: FADE IN (URL removed)IFORNIA BEACH – DAY 1 Seagulls squawk, and the waves pound, but we’re not talking about Malibu Colony, here. This is a fairly rundown beach area, catering to lower-echelon surfers, vagrants, and strung out druggies of all ages, several of whom stand or sit on their haunches by a dilapidated old hamburger stand. Over the stand is a faded sign: "FAT SAM’S HAMBURGERS". A simple but haunting electronic melody plays in the b.g. INT. "FAT SAM’S" – DAY 2 Seated just inside the stand on a folding aluminum chair is a chubby man in his late thirties. He’s wearing a stained valor sweat suit and a cap. This is Fat Sam. He’s a dealer. Seated on the sand next to him is Fletch, a rangy man, early thirties, in jeans and a Magic Johnson T-shirt, nodding idly on a battered Casio music machine which he treats lovingly. This is the source of the title music. FLETCH So what do you figure? FAT SAM No idea. FLETCH No idea at all? FAT SAM Okay. Some idea. FLETCH Like when? FAT SAM Like tonight. FLETCH For sure? FAT SAM No, not for sure. When it comes, it comes. You gonna want some $hit? FLETCH I think I’d rather have drugs. CONTINUED FAT SAM (shakes head and smiles) Fletch… FLETCH Sorry. I find a little humor really brightens things up around here, don’t you? A young junkie with a black eye – Gummy – passes. GUMMY Hi Sam. Hi Fletch. FLETCH Hi Gummy. How’s the eye? GUMMY It’s okay. The cops did it. FLETCH I know. GUMMY They busted me last week. FLETCH They bust you every week. GUMMY I know. I got bad luck or something. Gummy exits. Fletch and Fat Sam watch him go. FLETCH That kid spends any more time in jail He’ll have to start paying rent. WIDER ANGLE THROUGH BINOCULARS Fat Sam and Fletch conclude their conversation. Fletch walks back among the drifters, the nervous, expectant junkies. He stops to talk to a young man propped up on his elbows on a towel. Creasy. 4 CREASY AND FLETCH FLETCH Maybe tonight? CREASY Whaddyamean 'maybe'? FLETCH That's what he said. CREASY (getting desperate) He doesn't know? How come he doesn't know? FLETCH I don't know how he doesn't know. He doesn't know. CREASY Sonofabitch. FLETCH Wonder who his supplier is. CREASY I have no idea. FLETCH I wasn't asking. CREASY He never leaves the beach, Fat Sam. Never leaves. Sits in that chair, he's outta junk. Then he suddenly gets up, he's got junk. So where does it come from? Through the sand? FLETCH I think that's highly unlikely, Creasy. CREASY (rolls over) I ought to get some sleep. FLETCH Creasy, how old are you? CREASY Nineteen. FLETCH (a touch of sadness) You're not taking real good care of yourself. 5 WIDER - BINOCULARS AGAIN ---Fletch takes his Casio and starts off the beach. The binocular angle follows ---him. A pelican crosses the water. The binoculars move off Fletch and ---follow the flight of the pelican as it swoops low over the ocean. 6 BEACH PARKING LOT - DAY ---Fletch emerges into view, walking towards camera, when a Man steps into the ---immediate f.g., the binoculars at his side large in frame. Fletch Stops. MAN Excuse me. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. FLETCH What? 7 REVERSE ---A trim man of approximately Fletch's age, wearing a perfectly tailored grey ---suit, is standing across from Fletch. This is Alan Stanwyk. STANWYK We can't talk about it here. 8 MASTER FLETCH Why not? STANWYK Because we can't. FLETCH Are you on a scavenger hunt of some kind? STANWYK I want you to come to my house. Then we'll talk. FLETCH I think you've got the wrong gal, fella. STANWYK I'll give you a thousand dollars cash just to come to my house and listen to the proposition. If you reject the proposition, you keep the thousand, and your mouth shut. FLETCH Will this proposition entail my dressing up as Tina Turner? STANWYK (unsmiling, all business) It is nothing of a sexual nature I assure you. (Takes a thousand in cash from his pocket) One thousand, just to listen.I don't see how you could turn that down Mr... FLETCH Nugent. Ted Nugent. STANWYK (shakes his hand) Alan Stanwyk. FLETCH Charmed. 9 EXT. BERMAN STREET - BEVERLY HILLS - DAY
