The Crazy Life

Black screen. White text saying Episode Ten – The Crazy Life-.
White text fades out and we hear screeching of car tyres in a skid.
The brass and drums of the intro to Ricky Martin’s ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca start to play, cut to a dark night, London street and a red Tesla Model S sliding round a corner of a road. Cut to the inside the car, a young dark haired dark eyed woman is driving the car she is wearing a sky blue low cut silk dress; the song is playing in the car. On the back seats are two young women who are swiging from a bottle of champagne. There is a young woman in the passenger seat who has a tiny glass bottle with white powered in it; she is trying to get a very small silver spoon into the bottle but the erratic moments of the car is making it difficult. The woman driving is dancing and shaking her head with her eyes closed alone to the song.
Ricky Martin –singing-: “She’s into superstitions.”
Cut to the road farther ahead, there is a small black cat walking into the road.
Ricky: “Black cats and voodoo dolls.”
Cut back to the woman driving, she is singing along to the song with her eyes closed.
Ricky: “I feel a premonition”
Cut back to the black cat that is now sitting in the middle of the road.
Ricky: “That girl’s gonna make me fall.”
Cut back to the woman driving, she is still dancing and singing to the song (as are the other women in the car) she opens her dark eyes and looks at the road ahead.
Ricky: “She’s into new sensations”
The woman sees the cat sitting in the middle of the road via the headlights of the car.
Cut to the cat’s low eye view of the cars headlights.
Ricky: “New kicks in candlelight”
Cut back to the woman, she screams. Cut to the tyres screaming as it swerves and brakes. Cut to the black cat as it just watches the car go pass it.
Ricky: “She’s got a new addiction”
The car smashes into a shop window along the road. It is a Specsavers.
Ricky: “for every day and night.”
Lightening lights up the sky and it starts to rain. Cut to a black and white high up CCTV camera view of the road, the shop and the car half sitting in the shop window.
Ricky: “She’ll make you take your clothes off”
Cut to the cat; it stands and turns to walk towards the car in the rain.
Ricky: “and go dancing in the rain.”
Cut to a very low angle of the cat standing by the red car door on the driver’s side.
Ricky: “She’ll make you live her crazy life
The car door open and we see the woman arm come out and down and she picks up the cat and lifts it into the car.
Ricky: “but she’ll take away your pain.”
The car door slams shut.
Ricky: “Like a bullet to your brain!”
The car revs up
Ricky: “Come on!”
and reverses out of the Specsavers window.
Ricky: “Upside, inside out”
The car’s wheel spin and it speeds off down the road.”
Ricky: “She’s livin’ la Vida Loca!”
Cut to the inside of the car, the cat is standing on the woman’s lap as she drives.
Ricky: “She’ll push and pull you down”
The woman strokes the cat as she is driving and the cat lies down on her lap.
Ricky: “livin’ la Vida Loca!”
The rest of the women in the car and laughing and screaming with joy and singing to the song.
Cut to a close up of the drivers face. She has a huge smile of her face. Her bright red lips pull back slight into nearly a grimmest.
Ricky: “Her lips are devil red and her skin’s the colour of mocha”

    The tension is palpable in this installment, and I can see it play out in my mind as if it’s already on the screen. ❤
