Jeff

(Will be played by Adrian Lopez)

My name is Adrian Lopez, a.k.a Jeff in the movie Leixbaby. I enjoy everything there is about the film industry. I know a lot about film making, and if you would like to see my work, you can catch me at the Community Access Center, Kalamazoo, MI. I consider myself to be an all out funny good person, and easy to get along with. I hope you get to view this movie, and tell me if you enjoyed viewing me as a first time actor.~

            Jeff is a squirrelly, punk druggie.  He’s a nice guy, when he isn’t paranoid.  He’s interested in making money, but he’s not greedy.  He understands the need to score and is willing to help out friends of friends of friends, as long as the price is right.

            Jeff is somewhere between 15-25.

DIALOG FOR AUDITIONS

Rex gets out of the car as Jeff walks into the light under the basketball court.  Emma and Rex walk over to him.

JEFF

You Jack’s aunt?

EMMA

Yeah, you Jeff?

JEFF

(To Emma, ignoring Rex)

Yeah.  Lets make this quick and try not to make it look like we’re doing anything unscrupulous.  Four right?

REX

Yeah, four.

JEFF

You better shut the hell up.  When I ask you to speak, you’ll speak.  Otherwise, shut the hell up.  I don’t know you.  Jack didn’t say nothing about you, so you better be mute.  One more word and I’ll split

REX

(Under his breath)

Prick!

EMMA

Don’t worry, he’s cool

JEFF

No, he’s not cool.  And you’re barely cool.  If you weren’t so hot, I wouldn’t even be here.  Your word don’t mean shit.

EMMA

We need four.

JEFF

I got it if you got 10.

REX

One thousand?  That’s ridiculous

JEFF

I said don’t talk.  One rule.  Find someone else.

Jeff walks away briskly.

EMMA

(Chasing after him)

Jeff, stop, wait.

He stops and turns around.

JEFF

It’s not an unreasonable price.  It’s almost 1:30.  You guys could be cops and I’m trusting the word of an ex-junkie that you’re not going to screw me over.  If I decide to charge you two large, I will.  That’s my prerogative.  Beggars can’t be bargainers.  This isn’t a goddamned flea market.  So pay or walk, either way it’s no skin off my dick.

EMMA

We’ll pay

JEFF

Good.

Rex counts out the money and hands it to Jeff, who hands him a baggy.

JEFF (CONT'D)

Enjoy.  Don’t ever come back

They walk away without saying anything.

JEFF (CONT'D)

What?  No thanks.

REX

Eat hell and die, prick!

JEFF

Goddamn junkies.
