Featured Script – Red Tuxedo


FADE IN.

INT. MR. BERGUER’S HOME OFFICE – AMONGST THE CLOUDS

MR. BERGUER sits behind his desk. He wears what resembles a white tuxedo that emits its own light.

A beeping sound goes off.

MR. BERGUER:  Enter.

The front door to the home office slides open.

Enter MR. SANDERS, who wears what resembles a red tuxedo that also emits its own light.

MR. BERGUER:  Please, take a seat Mr. Sanders.

MR. SANDERS:  I’d rather stand, but I’ll be polite.

MR. BERGUER:  Appreciated. (beat) What do you think of this evening’s party?

MR. SANDERS:  It’s becoming of you. Your typical bourgeois nonsense.

MR. BERGUER:  Yes, it is quite a bit of nonsense, I must agree, but necessary nonsense, I’m afraid. It isn’t everyday we get to have leaders from our neighboring galaxies congregate inside one location. (beat) May I offer you a cigar? My collection spans the universe.

MR. SANDERS:  I don’t smoke.

MR. BERGUER:  Pity.

Mr. Berguer lights his cigar.

May I offer you a drink? Surely, you drink.

MR. SANDERS:  Bourbon.

MR. BERGUER:  My pleasure.

Mr. Berguer pours Mr. Sanders bourbon.

MR. BERGUER:  You may be wondering why I’ve asked you to come here.

MR. SANDERS:  I know exactly why you’ve sent for me.

MR. BERGUER:  Good.

MR. SANDERS:  Perhaps we should cut to the chase, Mr. Berguer.

MR. BERGUER:  Should I offer my proposition, or would you prefer to offer yours?

MR. SANDERS:  I know what you want and I know how you go about getting what you want. I understand the importance of this deal, for my sake. I’m prepared to give you my full forty-precent.

MR. BEGUER:  In exchange?

MR. SANDERS:  For nothing.

Mr. Sanders pulls out an envelope and rests it on Mr. Berguer’s desk.

Mr. Berguer reviews the document carefully.

I’ve completely signed over all my rights. You have full control. (beat) Don’t look so alarmed. I’m giving you exactly what you wish.

MR. BERGUER:  Surely, there must be something you desire?

MR. SANDERS:  I understand your power Mr. Berguer. I know how you go about your business. I’ve thought over this quite a bit these past few weeks. I believe I’m making a very smart decision.

MR. BERGUER:  I wouldn’t disagree, Mr. Sanders.

MR. SANDERS:  Will that be all?

MR. BERGUER:  You are a much more dangerous man than I previously imagined. There is a great deal of respect that divides our interests.

MR. SANDERS:  I appreciate your modesty.

MR. BERGUER:  I’m not modest…I am fearful.

MR. SANDERS:  Fearful?

MR. BERGUER:  Oh, yes. A magician cannot wave his wand, unless he knows he holds the illusion.

MR. SANDERS:  Are you an illusion, Mr. Berguer?

MR. BERGUER:  Depends on who attends the show.

MR. SANDERS:  Hmm.

MR. BERGUER:  Not married?

MR. SANDERS:  I beg your pardon?

MR. BERGUER:  Why aren’t you married? You’re young, dapper, rich, and so forth. Don’t you wish to start a family of your own?

MR. SANDERS:  With all do respect, what business does my personal life have–
