It is very hot around sunset. We pan in to see the edge of a cliff. On the cliff is Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain. He has a frightening look on his face. Then pans in his parents. Mom: Ya little bastard. You are the reason me and your father got a divorce. His wife, Courtney Love, comes into the picture.Love: You are an unloyal junkie husband. Frances and I hate you. Then Dave Ghrol and Krist Novaselic, his Nirvana band mates, step in.Dave: You are leading us down a path of destruction. Just die. They all step toward him in anger. Kurt steps back a little too much. He falls off the cliff....Kurt jumps up in his bed.Kurt: f*ck! After gaining back his breath, Kurt realizes it was only a dream. He has been gone from rehab for a few days after escaping. Kurt gets out of bed.----April 4th, 1994---*Wave of Mutilation by the Pixies play*He is wearing a robe, sweatpants and undershirt. He goes into the bathroom, brushes his teeth and clips his fingernails. He takes his medicine out of the cabinet and swallows it down.He heads downstairs singing the lyrics to "Wave of Mutilation" by the Pixies. (The song syncs out now) He grabs some cereal and starts to chow down. He plops down onto the couch. He turns on his TV only to see the music video for "Heart Shaped Box" come on.Kurt: I dont want to watch this shit. Kurt clicks off the TV. He takes out a pack of cigarettes and pops one in his mouth. The orange flame dashes out of the lighter as he lights his cig. He takes off his robe, heads outside, and gets into his car. He hits up downtown Aberdeen, Washington. He pulls into a parking lot and stands at the tip of an alley next to an antique shop. One of his old friends, Mark, walks past him. Mark: Kurt? How's it going man. Mark saw Kurt looked like hell. He realized Kurt was there to score some heroine.Kurt: Fine I guess. Mark refused to say anything any longer. He walked off. A dark figure comes up to Cobain.Kurt: Yeah man, 30. Kurt hands him some money while he gets a baggie of heroine in return. Before anyone could look back Kurt is gone and into his car. He drives back up into his Seattle home.He gets inside. He quickly runs over to his stove to cook his heroin. His phone rings.Kurt picks up the phone.Kurt: GOODBYE Kurt slams the phone into the wall, breaking it into 3 pieces. His heroin is done. He runs upstairs. Opens his closet and digs through and finds a syringe. He runs back down stairs and loads the syringe in heroin. He tightens a band around his arm and sticks it in.He walks around a bit. Nothing happens. Then everything starts to turn slow motion. Lights have become brighter. Kurt walks straight into his bathroom door and passes out.We are back at the cliff now. He has fallen to the ground but somehow survived. Suddenly everyone who was back up top, his family, friends, wife and daughter, are now around him. They are kicking him, and Krist and Courtney are shoving needles into him. He screams louder and louder but no one is listening. Then his daughter walks up to him....Kurt sees the ceiling. He realizes it was again, a dream. His heroin ride is over. He walks outside to get some air and then comes back in. He heads upstairs to his recording studio. He picks up his favorite guitar, slaps on some headphones, and begins to belt out some songs.www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4dwjmHduS4Kurt puts down his guitar. He throws his headphones and leaves.Darkness is falling. Kurt sits on his couch with a bowl of chips and the tv on softly. He is watching the news scoffing at all of the murders, drug busts, and entertainment news on. He stuffs some more chips into his mouth, turns off the tv, and goes to bed. When he gets under the covers, he starts to masterbate. He then starts to doze off. Love: YOU WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING YOU PIECE OF SHIT. Kurt wakes up at the bottom of what seems to look like an endless pit. Courtney Love and his daughter Frances are staring at Kurt not blinking at all. Kurt starts to cry when his dad walks out of the dark. Dad: Yeah cry you little b*tch. Your shit guitar got you lucky. Your mother should have had a f'n abortion. Then out of nowhere a 9 year old Kurt Cobain comes out. Everyone else dissapears.9 year old Kurt: I am ashamed. This is what I go on to become. No one likes you. You deserve to die. ---April 5th, 1994---Kurt wakes up sweating. Kurt: God damn it. Kurt walks downstairs. The sound of birds chirping outside has him turning on the TV. He looks over to see he has alot of heroin left. He decides not to use it. He walks over and lays on the couch.Kurt: Damn my headaches. He gets up slowly and goes into the freezer. He picks out an icepack and places it across his forehead. He picks up a newspaper, puts on his glasses, and reads an article about Seattle Elementary Schools.Then he gets up rapidly. He runs upstairs and grabs his journal. He jots something down. He mumbles alot. He throws it down, nd starts to cry. He opens up his closet and pulls out a shotgun. This shotgun he recently bought.Kurt: Dear God. Kurt grabs the shotgun. He goes downstairs slowly. He opens his refridgerator, grabs a Barq's root beer, pops it open and sips it lightly. He wraps it in his hands. He walks outside and into a small room above the garage. He closes the door behind him. Through the window, a black shadow is shown. The screen fades to black......BANG! A loud shotgun goes off.Less than 24 hours after that gun went off, Courtney Love had hired P.I. Tom Grant to look for Kurt. Tom and Kurt's friend Dylan Carlson enter the Seattle home. They are extremely worried.Tom and Dylan: KURT? KURT!! KURT??? ARE YOU HOME??!?!?! They searched upstairs and downstairs. They didnt find anything...They did not check the greenhouse.---April 8th, 1994---A large van pulls into the Cobain house. Out comes electrican Gary Smith. He was told to install a security system into the home. He started with the greenhouse...
Smith walked up the stairs. He started to install the security system and peeked into the greenhouse. Originally, he saw what looked like a "mannequin". He did a double take. He saw Kurt Cobain. Smith: He's just asleep. Thank God.....wait....that's blood coming out of his ear.... Gary Smith opened the door and flicked on the light to a site no one should have to see... |
