Divorced

Open music playing. slowly fading in. Reveling a pair of pink soft toes laying in the cool snow. Camera slowly pans over following the curves of her body stopping at her face.

A slight line of dried blood stains her mouth

Fade out

Above shot looking down. The woman laying on the ground of the white snow, blood drenched all around her

Fade out

Fade in

EXT: Apple Orchard: A light fog rolls over the fields.

The cameras low, slow panning from left to right. Slowly passing an assortment of weapons that are standing up out of the ground like soldiers at attention.

Just beyond the line of weapons and past a row of apple trees we see two fuzzy figures standing between two rows, about 50 feet apart from one another.

On the left stands a tall slender man dressed in all black except for his un-normally high socks in which his pants are tucked into. He is smoking a cigar.

On the right stand a shorter, man. dressed in more formal gowns.

Both men have swords on their back/in their hands.

CUT: CU of tall man with cigar

CUT: CU of short man grasping the handle of his sword

Small

…You’re right, but she took my best friend away from me for about six years.

CUT: CU of the cigar landing on the ground, putting it out with his foot.

Tall

(snickering)

Thanks for reminding me.

But that makes me a terrible person for allowing it…

Anyway, moving on…

As the tall man speaks the camera focus on the small man. He looks insane, furious, white knuckles grasping his sword before the tall man can finish his sentence he rushes

Small

(furious)

THAT’S FINE!

Bringing his weapon over his shoulder chopping at his opponent who simply steps aside.

I didn’t say she did the right thing!

Swinging his sword over his shoulder. Again is opponent just ducks the blow

But that’s NOT the reason why you guys aren’t together!

The small man hold his sword in front of him arm extended, the other tucked behind his back, charging his opponent.

Tall man

(dropping his sword so it lands perfectly upright in the ground and stepping INTO his attackers strike, wrapping his arm around the other mans and delivering a mighty blow to his throat)

When I decided to try and work things out

(another blow)

SHE was pregnant with him!

(small man tries to throw in a punch that is easily blocked)

Not much to defend there

(tossing his attacker to the ground grabbing his weapon and getting ready to strike when all of the sudden he looks up)

Far across the field we see another figure in the distance running a full pace. Brief case and papers flying everywhere.  He finally makes his way over to the two men, handing a stack of papers over to the Tall man

Tall Man

Divorce paperwork… finally..

Lawyer

(trying to catch his breath)

I’m sorry, but this is a VERY good thing

Small Man

(still laying on the ground)

It wasn’t just Lauras fault why your getting a divorce!

I don’t like how she’s made to look like she’s the only one who did something wrong

Lawyer

(looking down at the man on the ground)

sternly: Laura was a bitch BEFORE I met her, WHEN I met her.

Tall Man

Yah.. and you guys didn’t have to live with her

Small Man

It’s done now, so not much more to say

Tall Man

(getting aggravated with the small man, shouting in his face)

There is SO much more I could say…

but I won’t

The Lawyer pushes back his glasses and knees down to speak with the man on the ground

Lawyer

Ryan is a better parent and a honest fella… he didn’t cheat on her, she needs to up and start being a mother

He stands back up looking at the Tall man. Giving him a nod. The Tall man nods back then brings his sword down fast

CUT: CU of Lawyers face as blood splashes all over it

Lawyer

wiping off his glasses and putting them back onto his face

Ryan, if you need some more legal advice let me know

Looking down as blood starts to run across his shoes, stepping back

we are all rooting for you and cam

The lawyer turns and start to walk off into the distance as the camera slowly pans back further and further away

FADE OUT

(c)Danial Marquis

Valentines Day

Female Character: A snob, very self involved, more concerned with keeping her “home girls” up to date rather then engage with her date.

Hair is up, big hoop earrings, and necklace with long dress and matching high heals.

Male Character: Passive aggressive, a bit of a day dreamer. Is trying hard to be involved and engaging but ends up being rude and sarcastic.

Nice white shirt with tie. Black pair of pants with black shoes. Sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Fade in:

Camera is low panning left to right.

There are two people sitting across from one another at a candle lit dinner.

CU: Male character sitting in his chair with fork and knife in hand.

Waiter Passes in front of camera placing a plate down in front of the Male diner.

He looks down at his plate, then up across to his date

Female Character

Looking down at her phone, in disgust

Facebook on my phone isn’t working.

Male Character

sarcastically

It’s the start of the end of the world…

letting his voice drag off

Female Character

oblivious to his comment

What were we all doing before facebook and myspace?

CUT: Male character, just after inserting a piece of meat into his mouth looking off into the distance

CUT: CU of male character’s face, struggling hard, looks like he has to take a major dooky. bitting his lip.

CUT: Long Shot of male character sitting in front of a computer furiously masturbating.

CUT: Back to male character that continues to chew his food

Male Character

Shrugging off the question

I was playing solitaire.

Female Character

again disregarding his statement

Snood for me, (light laugh to herself like it was some inside joke). And living life, not making a fake farm on a computer. catching herself as if she said something offensive

NO, offence.

CU: Male character giving her the WTF look at the irony of the situation.

CU: Female character is still trying to connect to FB

CU: Of phone/itouch not being able to connect

Female character frowns and puts it back in her purse.

Male Character

OH my, what are you going to do?

Female Character

shaking her head

Life isn’t worth living.

(laughing) Right! I guess I’ll do something

She picks up her glass and gestures for the waiter to refill it

Can you draw some thing up for an old friend?

Male character picks up his glass for a pour as well

Male Character

I need to add to this cross….

Voice over of female character as Male chugs his wine and goes for another glass. Taking the bottle from the waiter

Cell phone starts to ring

Female character

Yah, I’m down at altered image if you’re not busy. Come by tonight, or tomorrow and we can plan something out.

Fade out.

The Scene

OPENING

Black screen, the sounds of footsteps echo throughout.

The mechanic sound of an electric can opener cuts through the silence

The sound of heavy breathing slowly become more prevalent as the camera fades in and out from black.

With each Fade in a little more of the environment gets reveled

POV SHOT

Dark damp basement

Looking down at feet bound with duct-tape to the legs of a wooden chair

Sitting in a chair in front of our hostage is a well-dressed man. Dark pants, white shirt and tie with a pair of sunglasses on. Which is strange because the basement is rather dark itself. Across his lap is a machete, on top is a glock 9 pistol. In his hand he holds a smart phone

Across the room behind the man in the chair is another man dressed in a similar fashion. He cracks open the top of a can of tuna, dipping his fingers in and eating it straight out of the can.

CU: CELL PHONE

UnNamed Man #1

looking puzzeled at his phone

Facebook on my phone isn’t working. It’s the end of the world!

UnNamed Man #2

Walking up behind man #1 placing a piece of tuna in his mouth

What were we all doing before facebook and myspace?

The hostage in the chair starts to struggle a bit, trying to loosen the ropes binding his hands behind him.

CU: Hands bound in rope

UN M #1

Taking the gun off his lap, standing up and shoving it into the mouth. The heavy breathing stops and is replaced with thick disturbing gagging sound

[Shaking his head]

I was playing solitaire.

UN M #2

Looking at their hostage

Snood for me, (chuckles) and probably living life, you know. NOT making a fake farm on a computer. (chuckling again and tapping the other guy)

NO offense

Leaning forward into the face of their hostage

(mocking)

Oh my what are you going to do? Life isn’t worth living!

The man with the gun pulls it out of their hostage’s mouth, looking at the tip of his gun in disgust, wiping the spit and blood off the tip onto the pant leg of their hostage

CU: pant leg

Hostage

Spitting out a mouth full of blood onto the floor

Right, (chuckling) I guess I’ll just go do something…

Before he can finish his sentence UN M #2 throws the can of tuna across the room in rage, grabbing the machete off the lap of his partner.

WIDE SHOT: this is the first time we actually see the hostage not from his point of view.

UN M #2

Grabbing the hostage by the hair pulling his head back

Placing the machete to his throat

Can you draw some shit up for an old friend?

I need to add to this cross on my back

Hostage

Mocking his captors

I’m down.  I’m at altered image if you’re not busy.

# 2 raises the machete getting ready to bring it down on his hostage when he is suddenly interrupted.

#1’s phone rings, he stands up answering it

UN M #1

Looking across the room at the two

Uh-huh, uh-huh, Yah yah yah, come by tonight or tomorrow, we can plan some shit out.

cocking the pistol and walking forward

Fade out
