Synopsis:

CRYSTAL lives a moral and noble life despite the hatred and ridicule he goes through because of who he is.

In campus Crystal has hots for only one guy, LOS who’s as Crystal puts it, is so hot that he can’t be from this planet.

Crystal wakes up one morning to the worst news ever when a picture of him kissing a guy appears in the front page of the campus daily. This leaves him bitter and angry and he quits as the leader of the morality group, so he can have a chance to be immoral.

What Crystal doesn’t know is Los, Mike and MARILYN are from another planet with a mission to get Crystal spend his life with Los.

Crystal and Los by sheer luck spend sometime together and Crystal realizes Los isn’t a jerk after all.

Time runs out and Los has to tell Crystal the truth, which as you would expect is a shock to him.

Finally Crystal makes the decision to share his life with Crystal in all love and purity.

FADE IN:

1.EXT. CAMPUS CAFETERIA   -DAY

CRYSTAL, 21, sits alone at a table. Not many people like him, of course, not many people like a gay guy with more sense of morality than they have.

He sips his soda and looks ahead. A few tables before him sit LOS ANGELES with a lady who’s all over him.

Mike walks to Crystal and sits opposite him. He watches Crystal’s face as he stares at Los.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                Hi crystal…you really like him.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

He’s from another planet. I’ve never seen a guy that hot and sexy.

                        MIKE

You should talk to him.

                        CRYSTAL

I might end up not liking his guts.

Mike turns to look at Los then turns to Crystal.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                How is that?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

Most hot guys are jerks with nothing between their ears. It’s better not knowing him

                                                                        MIKE

                                                If you say so, what are you doing tonight?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                I’m going to a party.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                A gay party?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                A party party

2. INT CRYSTAL’S DORM ROOM  -MORNING

Crystal studies at his desk. Mike stands before him with the campus daily in his hand; he looks a little serious today.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                Have you looked at today’s paper?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

I don’t read that trash. All they do is gossip and destroy people’s reputations with their lies.

                        MIKE

You should look at it, because you made the headlines.

Mike throws the paper on the desk. It has a photo of Crystal making out with a guy on the couch as some guys watch and a headline ‘How moral is your morality leader?’

                                                                        MIKE

                                                A party party uuh!

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                So I kissed some guy…it was a game.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                How could you?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                What do you want me to say Mike? I’m human.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                You are better than this.

Crystal gets up.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

One mistake and you judge me? If you have nothing better to say Mike the door is still open.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                You know what this means.

3. INT CONFERENCE ROOM  -DAY

Mike and SIX OTHER GUYS- both gender- sit around the table. Not much word is going around them.

Crystal walks in the room carrying three files. He places the files on the table and looks around; his eyes land on Mike. Mike looks away.

                                                                        GUY#1

                                                You are late.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

I know…well I have no explanation or excuse for you, just like all of you I’m human. That’s all I got to say.

A LADY clears his throat to speak.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                I quit.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                You can’t quit.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

And miss a chance to be immoral without appearing in papers or being summoned by the morality group?

            (Sarcastically.)

Morality group.

            (To himself.)

Who are you kidding?

He turns and walks out of the room leaving everyone speechless.

4. INT CAMPUS HALLWAY  -SUNSET

KRISTI hangs with her TWO GIRLS. Crystal walks to them.

                                                                        KRISTI

                                                Look who’s here?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

The homo, the fag, the immoral. You are yet to hurt me Kristi, I’m all that and more. You are yet to break me.

Crystal walks away as Los walks to the spot.

                                                                        LOS

                                                Hi, what was that about?

                                                                        KRISTI

                                                I’m yet to break him and I will break him.

                                                Wanna hang Los?

5. EXT CAMPUS PARK  -NIGHT

Mike and Los stroll under the moonlight.

                                                                        LOS

                                                How did it go?

                                                                        MIKE

He quit. You have to move fast; I think all the hatred is getting to him.

                        LOS

I will see what I can do.

6. EXT CAMPUS CAFETERIA  -DAY

Los walks to Crystal who sits at a table eating his lunch.

                                                                        LOS
                                                Hi.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                You are at the wrong table.

                                                                        LOS

                                                I came to talk to you.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

Why do you think I want to talk to you? What can you say to me that hasn’t been said?

Crystal and Los stare at each other. MARILYN walks to the table.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

Los, Los Angeles, whatever you have to say make it an article I promise to buy the paper.

Los turns and walks away.

                                                                        MARILYN

                                                            (Sitting.)

                                                What was that about?

CRYSTAL

I’ve had enough Marilyn, I don’t like being hated, but no one wants to see beyond my sex orientation. This is me Marilyn, but it’s never enough.

                        MARILYN

You don’t have to explain to me Crystal. I know who you are.

Tears show in Crystal’s eyes. Mike walks to the table.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                            (Surprised to see Crystal’s tears.)

                                                What’s wrong Crystal?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                Nothing is wrong.

Crystal gets up and walks away.

7. INT CRYSTAL’S ROOM  -EVENING

Crystal lies on the bed listening to music on his ipod. Mike sits beside him and watches him for a while.

He takes away Crystal’s earphones.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                I’m sorry.

Crystal studies Mike’s face for a while.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                I’m sorry too.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                Come now; give me a hug.

Crystal sits up and embraces Mike.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                You know you are not alone. You will never be alone.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                I’m alone Mike; I walk alone all day.

MIKE

You have Marilyn, your family, and me. Someday you will meet someone who will love you and spend all your life with you.

                        CRYSTAL

In my dreams?

Crystal smiles.

                                                                        MIKE

                                                See I made you smile.

Crystal smiles again.

8. INT THE CLUB   -NIGHT

Crystal sits at the bar with a martini before him. Los walks to the bar and takes a seat beside him.

                                                                        LOS

                                                Hi.

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                Hi.

                                                                        LOS
                                                            (To the BARMAN.)

                                                Ginger ale, please.

The barman serves him ginger ale.

                                                                        LOS

                                                Can I tell you something?

CRYSTAL

Just like everyone else Los you have the right to judge me, insult me and even beat me up. I’m gay, so go right ahead.

                        LOS

Nothing’s new with what you did at the party. Anyone could have done it, anyone.

Crystal looks at him amazed.

                                                                        LOS

                                                Can I ask you this?

Crystal nods yes.

                                                                        LOS

                                                What do you like about alcohol?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

I’m yet to find out. My first time, it will allow me do crazy things without my heart convicting me.

                        LOS

What about the morning after?

                                                                        CRYSTAL

                                                Guilt will kill me.

Los pushes the martini away from Crystal.

                                                                        LOS

                                                            (To the barman.)

                                                Give him ginger ale.

                                                            (To crystal.)

I don’t want you to die…you don’t have to prove anything to anyone Crystal. You are smart, beautiful and strong with any of these things.

                        CRYSTAL

It’s not like that Los.

                        LOS

I know it’s not easy being you, but you have made it this far. To give up now would be stupid.

CRYSTAL

No matter what I do or who I am people will always hate me. I don’t know what to do.

                        LOS

What you have always done, let
