INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
VIK is lounging on her SOFA legs slumped over the back. She is wearing a BAND T-SHIRT, FISHNETS and SUNGLASSES. She's smoking and holds a WINE BOTTLE in one hand. She's look up at the roof.
SUPER: Documentary of Wax Strip. A grunge bad from the early 90s... Vik was the lead singer and it's most infamous member. This is her story...
DAVE
(VO)
Vik, tell us about yourself.
VIK
(Slurred singing)
I could have been someone...
She looks to the camera.
VIK
That song was written about me know. Not many people knew that.
She points aggressively towards Dave.
VIK
It was kept under wraps too. For no good reason.
Vik relaxes again and looks back to the roof.
VIK
Well, there was a reason. But I can't tell you that.
Vik smirks to herself.
DAVE
(VO)
Vik, how long have you been living in New York?
VIK
It's Queens, so let's get that straight first off. It's been 6 months but it feels like I've really lived here my whole life.
DAVE
(VO)
Like in a spiritual sense?
VIK
I mean yeah man, I've always been spiritual.
Vik gets aggressive with Dave.
VIK
But don't interrupt me Dave man. Got it!
DAVE
(VO)
Do you ever keep in touch with any of the other girls from Wax Strip?
Vik gets choked up.
VIK
How could you ask that man...
Vik goes from slight catch in her throat to full snotty tears and screaming.
VIK
They're all dead man! They're all dead. I need hold on...
She takes a swig from the bottle.
DAVE
(VO)
Vik, they're not dead. I interviewed Dotty last week.
Vik, bolts up into a crossed legged position. She shrieks
VIK
What?
She sniffs likes a toddler who's forgotten why they're crying and wipes her nose with the back of her hand.
VIK
They're alive?
DAVE
(VO)
Yes, why did you think they were dead?
VIK
I read... Dotty's obituary in the paper.
Vik starts to get irate again.
VIK
I sent flowers! And a note!
DAVE
(VO)
What made you think it was the same-
VIK
The family sent me a thank you card.
DAVE
(VO)
Oh Vik-
VIK
Gods sakes Dave shut up! I went to the bloody wake for crying out loud!
