Script:
The film opens with a voice over before the title.
Girl: I do it because I need the money I don't need sex. I just want go to school.
Pan to a girl half-covered in bed, a shirtless man suddenly joins her.
Man: You ready for another round? (Man puts his hands on her arms)
Girl: It'll be extra. (Girl cringes at his touch, begins to slide away from him)
Man: Put this one on the house. (Man insists keeping his hands on her)
Girl: Now it's two hundred extra. (Girl gets out of bed, starts to dress)
Man: Get back here. (Man sits up and looks at her defiantly)
Girl: Actually, I just remember I have some homework to do, so can you leave now? (Girl is looking away from him, at the door)
Man: Fuck homework. (Man puts his legs over the edge of the bed and beckons her with hands.)
Girl: NO. (Girl opens her room door for him to leave)
Man: Okay, you'll take 50 won't you? (Wide shot to see both of them.)
Girl: Get out of my house. (girl goes out dorm room door into hallway, headed for door.)
Man has shirt in his hand, gives threatening eye contact following her. Girl walks down hallway anxiously. Girl reaches the door barely keeping composure. Man grabs her wrists and slams her against the door.
Man: Sometimes you need to give out a freeby or two, don't you know economics?
Man begins to physically beat her. Close up of man getting into her face.
Setting changes to outside the dorm room door, sounds can be heard from the other side. Passerby walking down stairwell can hear her screams. Passerby looks and goes up to door, but then leaves. On the other side of the door, the girl slumps down to the bottom of the door and there is a close-up of her hand, followed by a close-up of the door handle.
Man: I dare you to touch it, bitch. (Shot seen from the girl's perspective.)
The next shot is of her hand curling around the door handle. Switch from that to a shot from the side of the man kneeing her in the chin. Next shot is or is nearly floor level and is of the girl hitting the ground. The guy begins to unbuckle his pants and walk towards the girl when the door swings opening hitting him. The passerby is pushing on the otherside, but the guy begins to overtake her. Girl on the floor crawls forward and kicks his ankle/shin. The man is hit and recoils in pain, letting the passerby in. The passerby when inside turns away from the door, and is facing the man. Man reaches for door, but instead pushes passerby down. A floor shot at an angle sees the girl crawl under the table, or get up on the other side of the table. The next shot is of her holding a knife from the man's perspective. A close-up of the man. The passerby knocks the knife from her hand, and the man picks it up and backs out of the door.
Man: You tell anyone shit, I'll fuck you both up!
Man flees out of the door, Passerby follows him saying,
Passerby: Hell no!
Passerby chases him downstairs and then to his car. They pass by another man going up the stairwell. The man reaches the car and gets in before the first passerby can stop him. This shot is seen from the parking lot and towards the back of the car. He revs the engine, this shot is seen from the passenger seat, with the man in the foreground and the passerby seen through the driver-side window. He goes to press the gas, but the man passerby is blocking his way. He makes direct eye contact, the viewer anticipates that the Man may run him down, then the other passerby comes from the passenger-side door and beats the man in the front seat. The other guy drags her from beating him further.
Passerby 2: Stop! Stop!
Girl comes down from stairwell with cellphone. Intense tension between Passerby and girl is evident. Passerby nods and walks by her, over the shoulder angle. Passerby 2 is seen from the other 2-shot opening the door and taking the guy out of the car. Both passerby and Girl sit on curb.
