Midtown Manhattan, New York, February 20th 2016

Jordan is at NYU on musical theatre class. He's pressured to be onstage performing.

Everyone is criticizing him. Bringing him down.

Kora – Jordan I told you to go onstage. Why are you still sitting?

Kora – You're wasting my time and cutting your classmates times to go onstage to perform.

Linda appears.

Linda – Oh Kora be careful of him he doesn't take notes of anyone.

Linda – He thinks he can do what he wants. We won't do what you asked him to.

Professor Peter appears.

Peter – Yes he thinks he's clever. A smartass.

Peter – His problem is not knowing how to accept criticism.

Kora – Doing his duty as a student.

Jordan – I'm hearing all of you, would you please stop.

Jordan – I was just getting into the character.

Kora – But there's no character honey. I asked the class to improve a perfomance.

Elliott appears and speaks in a way that is similar to a snake.

Elliott – Go onstage, I'll help you.

Jordan and Elliott go onstage.

The dean walks in Kora's class.

Dean – Impress me, I've heard you're going down in your classes.

Jordan wanders through the stage and starts do dance. Almost like in a ballet way.

His left leg is pointed and the right left is behind it.

He dances so beautifully and his facial expressions show that he's fearful, innocent and pure.

As he dances in his head the music that is guiding his choreography gets more intense and Elliott appears.

He grabs Jordan waist and he tries to escape.

Jordan finally escapes but he's not the same anymore. His facial expressions show is transformed and trapped.

Elliott then hits him and he falls on the floor.

All the teachers and the dean applaud.

Kora – That's what I call a great performance.

Kora – You have found your dark side in it haven't you?!

Jordan is about to answer but Elliott starts to scream and everything becomes blurry.

Jordan wakes up sweating and hyperventilating.

Sam runs to Jordan's bedroom.

Sam - Are you okay?

I related the dream I had to Sam. It was really creepy and dark.

Sam – Wow that was a nightmare not a dream. That's really messed up.

Sam – Do you think you had this dream because I casted Kyle and Jessica?

Jordan – What do you mean?

Sam – Do you think they triggered you about Black swan, because of that transformation?!

Jordan – Maybe but don't feel guilty.

Jordan – I just shouldn't have let them do that. It was wrong in all levels.

Sam – I guess you shouldn't make part of the short film.

Jordan – What? Sam, no!

Jordan – Please, don't do this to me!

Jordan – I can do it.

Sam – No, you can't.

Sam – You think you're a superhuman who can do everything.

Sam – You have classes, you have work to do and there's a musical coming up and you aren't even considering audition for it.

Jordan – But I can do all that. It's not impossible.

Jordan – Actors aren't even considered humans because of their habilities to multitask.

Sam – Stop it.

Sam – Don't you get how mad you sound?

Jordan – Careful with your words.

Sam – Sorry.

Jordan (begging) – Please don't do this to me. You know I'm talented and professional.

Sam – I know it all. But I'm doing one thing you're not good at.

Sam – I'm helping you and your mind. You can't bear so much pressure.

Sam – You'll eventually go down.

Jordan – I'm really hurt to hear you talk like that.

Jordan – It's like you don't know me at all. You're underestimating me.

Jordan – You're doing what everyone does once they know about my mental health. Or lack of it.

Jordan – You're attacking me.

Sam – I'm saving you. And if you can't see that. I'm the one who's hurt.

Jordan – Well then Iguess I should move out.

Sam – Please don't be like that. I care for you.

Sam – I'm doing this is for your own good.

Jordan – Hope you find a good Marilyn.

Jordan – I quit.

Sam – You're really going to move out?

Jordan – Yes, and I will pack now.

Jordan – Please give me privacy.

Sam – Sure.

I pack my things and cry, how could Sam do this to me?

He says he cares for me but I wanted that part so bad.

He told me it was mine since he talked about the film with me.

I have to dry my tears. I don't want him to see my weakness although he has already know some of it.

But I have to leave with my pride and ego high.

I grab by red troller and go to the door.

I look at him and he tries to make me change my mind but I don't give even give him the chance to open his mouth.

I leave his house and slam the door shut.
