We hear A GIRL GIGGLING as a DROP OF BLOOD hits the sidewalk.
EXT. ENCINO VALLEY - BUSY STREET - EARLY EVENING - 1974
A 14-year-old SURFER GIRL with long blonde hair is clutching
her underwear, her mini-skirt hiked way up. This is CHERIE
CURRIE and she just got her period.
CHERIE
(freaking)
What am I gonna
do
?
GIRL (O.S.)
(giggles, sings)
Misty water-colored meee-mor-ies...
CHERIE
It’s not
funny
, Marie!
Cherie stares at MARIE CURRIE. They’re
paternal twins
-- the
epitome of angelic 70’s California. Marie keeps singing...
MARIE
It’s the laughter we’ll re-meeem-
beeerrr. Of the waay we weeeeere...
Cherie sees BLOOD DRIPPING down her leg. She frantically
wipes it with her underwear.
Crap
!
CHERIE
MARIE
You’re such a spaz, Cherie.
Totally cool, Marie takes off her bomber jacket, ties it
around Cherie’s waist. She drags her towards the bathroom of
a PUP ‘N’ TACO.
Two teenage guy EMPLOYEES at the drive-thru window put down
their ZAP COMIX to gawk at them.
SKINNY EMPLOYEE
Checkitout -- the Valley twins are
back... Who’d you rather?
FAT EMPLOYEE
Who
cares
, man -- I couldn’t tell
those chicks apart in the
light
.
Skinny Employee cracks a horndog’s grin, rapidly FLICKS HIS
TONGUE in the twins’ direction.
2.
INT. PUP ‘N’ TACO BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS
Marie is all business. She quickly locks the door, grabs
Cherie’s underwear and tosses them in the trash. She takes
off her
own
underwear and hands them to Cherie.
Calmer now, Cherie dutifully puts them on. She pulls some
napkins from the dispenser, stuffs them in.
Marie turns to the mirror, skillfully applies a rainbow of
colors to her eyes and mouth.
CHERIE
I’m twenty minutes older, why does
everything happen to
you
first?
MARIE
I’m taller.
Cherie rolls her eyes. Marie finishes her mouth, kisses the
mirror -- leaving OPEN RED LIPS. Then she puts on a pair of
TIGHT RED SATIN PANTS and a LOW CUT BLOUSE.
Cherie pulls a pair of SEXY BLACK HIGH HEELS from a backpack.
Marie stares at the shoes.
MARIE (CONT'D)
You took Ma’s black heels?
CHERIE
Like she’s ever worn anything
twice? Anyway, you should be more
worried about her finding out how
old your skanky boyfriend is.
MARIE
I’m sorry, does
your
boyfriend have
a car? I’m sorry, do you even
have
a boyfriend?
EXT. PUP ’N’ TACO - DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW - MINUTES LATER
The guys watch as Marie drags Cherie from the bathroom.
They’re running, holding hands, teetering in their high
heels. Cherie almost falls, clearly not as comfortable or
confident as Marie.
SKINNY EMPLOYEE
You want some
fries
to go with
those
shakes
?
3.
FAT EMPLOYEE
(grabs crotch)
Or maybe my
grande
CHIMICHANGA
!
The boys crack up. Marie smiles -- then sees they’re making
“oral sex” gestures. She scoffs, but she loves the attention.
Cherie is more combative --
she
flips them off
.
Just then, a BEAT-UP LINCOLN comes to a screeching halt.
Bowie’s “Young Americans” blares from the stereo. At the
wheel is DEREK, 28 years old, scruffy.
DEREK
Dreamy ladies
! Pile on in!
Marie rides shotgun, Cherie climbs in back. Derek peels out.
INT. LINCOLN - DRIVING DOWN HOLLYWOOD ST. - NIGHT
Derek takes Marie by the chin and french kisses her. He
watches Cherie in the rearview mirror -- WINKS at her. She
looks away, grossed out.
Marie pulls away, fixes her lipstick in the pull-down mirror,
then whispers something to Derek.
He laughs, turns to Cherie and smiles big.
DEREK
Congrats, babe, you’re officially a
wo-man
. Let's fuckin’
celebrate
!
Cherie glares hard at Marie, shakes her head.
Derek hands Cherie a MICKEY from under the car seat. Cherie
smells the bottle -- “yuck.”
She passes it to Marie. Marie takes a big swig.
Barry Manilow’s “Mandy” comes on the radio. Marie turns it
up, sings along with the song. Her voice is terrible.
MARIE
Well, you kissed me and stopped me
from shakin’. And I need you today,
oh MARIE...
Cherie makes a face, leans forward, turns the station.
Hey
!
MARIE (CONT'D)
4.
Marie turns it back, sings
louder
. Cherie groans, retaliates.
CHERIE
Hey Derek, did Marie tell you she’s
not wearing any underwear?
Marie stops singing, glares back at Cherie.
Derek looks at Marie’s crotch, grins, hits the gas and
howls
.
DEREK
OOOOWWWWWWWWW
!!!
BRING UP TITLES: THE RUNAWAYS
INT. USED CLOTHING STORE - CHANGING ROOM - EARLY EVENING
CLOSE ON a pair of BLACK PRO KEDS HI TOPS. PAN UP to reveal
someone checking themselves out in a mirror, wearing tight
black leather pants and a black leather jacket.
We hear a
KNOCK
on the door. It’s a HIPPIE SALESMAN whose
scraggly ponytail barely warrants a rubber band.
HIPPIE SALESMAN
Everything okay in there?
BLACK LEATHER
(jittery)
Yes, please. I mean...yes.
Thank
you
.
Reveal a 16-year-old GIRL, tough, pretty, with dark hair and
a pale complexion. She wears a SILVER PACIFIER around her
neck. She’s cool as hell, but for the BEADS OF SWEAT
collecting on her forehead. This is JOAN JETT.
She pulls her SCHOOL UNIFORM PANTS over the leather pants.
She looks in the mirror, takes a deep breath.
INT. USED CLOTHING STORE - CHECKOUT COUNTER - MOMENTS LATER
Joan dumps a large pile of LOOSE CHANGE on the counter.
JOAN
I’ll take the jacket.
The HIPPIE SALESMAN looks suspiciously at the mound.
JOAN (CONT’D)
It's all there, man. I counted it.
