Another One Bites The Dust

(A/N: Slight time skip again.)

103: INT. STUDIO DAY FADE IN:

Two years later, 1980.

ROGER: John, I don't wanna play it.

DEACY: Roger, just give it a chance.

BRIAN: Deacy, Queen doesn't do disco.

DEACY: It's not disco.

BRIAN: What is it then?

FREDDIE: (comes in) Hello my darlings, so sorry I'm late.

ROGER: Fred, I'm not playing this. I mean, drum loops? Synthesizers? It's not us, it's not Queen.

FREDDIE: QUEEN IS WHATEVER I SAY IT IS!

ROGER: Then you can play your own bloody drums then!

FREDDIE: (shoves the sheet music in his face)

BRIAN: Fred!

ROGER: Okay, let's see how good a boxer you really are! (lunges at Freddie)

BRIAN: (gets in between them) Roger take it easy!

ROGER: (accidentally punches him in the face)

BRIAN: Ah!

ROGER: (goes pale) Brian, I'm so sorry.

RACHAEL: Everyone just stop it! Roger, calm the fuck down! Freddie, stop being a dick! Brian, come with me... (pulls him into the bathroom)

104: INT. STUDIO (BATHROOM) DAY CUT TO:  

RACHAEL: Hold still... (holds a cold towel over his face)

BRIAN: (winces)

RACHAEL: Sorry... Are you okay?

BRIAN: I'm fine love.

RACHAEL: Brian, just give Deacy a chance, he never asks for anything, all this bullshit over a goddamn song? Come on.

BRIAN: You're right darling.

RACHAEL: I know I am! (kisses him)

105: INT. STUDIO DAY CUT TO:

Queen records Another One Bites The Dust.

ROGER: Brian, I'm so sorry mate, are you alright?

BRIAN: I'm fine Rog. Deacy, what have you got in mind?

DEACY: (starts playing the riff)

BRIAN: That's, that's quite a cool riff actually.

FREDDIE: You wrote that? That's really good.

DEACY: It will be, if you all would just shut up and play.

106: INT. PRESS CONFRENCE DAY FADE IN:

A few days later. Queen is doing a press conference.

ANNOYING JOURNALIST: Freddie, as the leader of Queen, do you feel responsible for most of the songs?

FREDDIE: I'm not the leader of Queen, I'm only the lead singer.

ANNOYING JOURNALIST: Freddie, why don't you get your teeth fixed?

FREDDIE: Why don't you get your manners fixed? That's an asshole question to ask anyone.

BRIAN: That is an asshole question...

FREDDIE: Next question.

ANNOYING JOURNALIST: Freddie, can you tell us about the rumors concerning your sexuality?
