EXT. CALARTS PARKING LOT OUTSIDE CHOUINARD - DAY
EMILY stands in a parking lot with RUTH and SPENCER. Ruth is penciling in a thin mustache on Emily. She is wearing two sports bras, loose pajama pants, a huge hoodie, and a baseball cap with her hair pushed in.
EMILY (V.O.)
In this moment, the world falls quiet. I am about to infiltrate
the great unknown. I will be an outsider on the inside.
I will be in... the boy's hall at CSSSA. Of course, you have
questions. So do I. Am I doing this to get some? False. Why
would I go to the boy's hall to do that. Gross. I am here
for an experiment concerning cultural constructions of
gender and heteronormativity. And to fuck shit up. How
have I gotten this far? Sheer balls. And the help of Spencer,
my bro guide. Will my true identity be revealed? Only time
will tell. How far will I go? ....We'll see.
INT. PHLEGM-COLORED HALLWAY - DAY
Emily walks down hallway, pants sagging, with Spencer leading the way. They walk by BOYS, whose heads turn, mouths open. They look confused.
EMILY (in a deep voice)
Okay is this a realistic guy voice?
SPENCER
Don't talk.
Song begins playing: Lola, by the Kinks
"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up, shook up world"
INT. DORM ROOM AT CALARTS - DAY
Spencer and Emily walk into his room triumphantly. Emily looks around and speaks into a recorder. The room is messy.
EMILY
I have infiltrated. It smells of success. And sweat.
But mostly success.
SPENCER
Alright let's go.
INT. RANDOM HALLWAY - DAY
They are walking down random corridors because they can. Emily points to one door.
SPENCER
I don't know where that goes.
EMILY (into recorder)
I will follow all paths. I am a seeker of truth.
They exit.
EXT. CHOUINARD HALL, SIDE ENTRANCE - DAY
They are trying to get back in discreetly.
EMILY
Shit when did they lock this!!
SPENCER
We'll go through the lobby, there weren't any
R.A.s there last time.
EMILY (into recorder)
We are entering the enemy's den. We might
be destroyed. Fortunately I have covered my
picture on my name tag with masking tape.
INT. CHOUINARD HALL LOBBY - DAY
The R.A. looks up briefly. Emily looks down, the baseball cap's bill covering her face. The R.A. turns back to normal conversation.
EMILY and SPENCER
VICTORY!!!
They high five.
EXT. CHOUINARD HALL PARKING LOT - DAY
Ruth rejoins Emily, who changes back into jeans and girly shirt. Her R.A. ASHLEY walks by with a FRIEND.
RUTH
Hi!
Emily zips fly and turns around to wave. Ashley and friend walk away.
EMILY
Do I still have a mustache?
