Let's Dance! (Put on your red cape and tights of blue)

[TW's green room. He sits on a bench with blue tights pulled halfway up. The tune to David Bowie's "Space Oddity" begins. BS enters smiling ear to ear with the cape in hand.]
BS: [singing] Bryan Singer to my friend Tom
[TW turns, sees the cape and frowns]
BS: Bryan Singer to my friend Tom
[BS moves behind TW with the cape. TW reluctantly stands and pulls up the tights as BS puts the cape around his neck]
BS: Pull up your bright blue tights and put the red cape on!

[Soft cut to green screen sound strange. TW in the suit. BS stands next to him holding a wired harness. MR stands on the other side of TW wearing at Bowie style teased out wig from Labyrinth]
MR: [singing] Ten, nine
BS: Bryan Singer to my friend Tom
MR: eight, seven, six, five
[BS hands the harness to TW who looks pained]
BS: Though it's tight you must put the harness on
[TW steps into the harness]
MR: four, three, two one
BS: Check the wires and may gods love be with you
[The wires lift TW up off the ground]
MR: liftoff

[With the help of wires TW flies around the sound stage.]
BS: Bryan Singer to my friend Tom
[TW looks nervous as he flies over the rest of the cast. They stare up at him in awe.]
BS: You've really made the grade!/The bloggers want pictures of you in the suit you wear!/Now's time to be a hero if you dare!

TW: [singing] This is Tom to Bryan Singer
[TW comes lose of the wires but he continues to fly, going out the sound stage door]
TW: I'm flying through the door/And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
[TW waves at the cast and they wave back. The cast all morph into images of David Bowie]
TW: My co-stars look very different today

[TW floats up higher and higher in the air]
TW: For here I am wearing the super suit
[TW soars high above Vancouver]
TW: Far above the world/Planet earth is blue/And there's nothing I can do

[TW looks around at the earth rapidly falling beneath him]
TW: I'm speeding faster than a bullet but / I'm feeling very still
[TW turns away for the earth out toward space. The red cape billows out behind him]
TW: And I think the suit knows which way to go / Tell the cast I love them very much they know

[Back at the sound stage BS is frantic]
BS: Bryan Singer to my friend Tom
[BS inspects the severed wires from the catwalk with concern.]
BS: The wires have snapped! Theres something wrong!
BS: [Into his walkie talkie] Can you hear me, my friend Tom?
[BS and the cast gather outside and stare up into space]
BS: Can you hear me, my friend Tom?
[MR points up. Cut to a shooting star in the sky]
BS: Can you hear me, my friend Tom?

[Soft cut to TW up in space with the moon in the background]
TW: Here am I flying in the super suit
[TW banks and flies around the moon]
TW: Far above the moon
[The earth comes out from the behind the moon. It's a small blue dot.]
TW: Planet earth is blue / And theres nothing I can do.

[The music suddenly stops. Cut to TW's trailer at night. TW bolts upright out of bed, eyes wide and out of breath, completely covered in sweat. His sheet is tied around his neck like a cape. He takes a moment to catch his breath and pulls the sheet off his neck in disgust.]

[Cut to inside MR's trailer. The has his head phones on and a copy of Bowie's Let's Dance album in on his CD player. There's loud knocking at the door.]
MR: [singing] Put on your red shoes and dance the blues!
[The knocking gets louder. MR takes his head phones off]
MR: Coming!
[MR heads for the door]
MR: Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
[MR opens the door. TW is on the other side.]
MR: Tom? [pauses] Are you alright?
[TW stands in the doorway ominous and silent.]
MR: You didn't have another nightmare, did you?
[TW punches MR in the mouth.]
