TOM WRITES HIS FIRST MOVIE: The meat of it.

I've been working on this movie (http://tcqscripts.blogspot.ca/2014/12/i-am-not-weirdo.html). Each blog entry I ad a page, here's today's installment:


EXT - GRANT'S HOUSE.

Grant is sitting in his living room eating a bowl of cereal, he hears the sound of a speeding vehicle getting closer and closer to his house, out the window he sees Douglas's truck pull in. He came in so fast he overshot the driveway and ended up in the middle of Grant's front lawn. Seeing this Grant runs to the front door where he's met by Douglas.


GRANT
What the F...

DOUGLAS
I need help.

GRANT
With what? What is it?

Douglas's eyes become pained.

DOUGLAS
I think Abby's sick

INT - DOUGLAS' SPEEDING TRUCK

Grant is in the passenger seat of Douglas' truck, Douglas speeds out off of Grant's lawn and races back towards Abby's house.

GRANT
Jesus Christ...Abby.

DOUGLAS
It's not her fault. She's sick.

GRANT
Sick how?

DOUGLAS
I don't know!

GRANT
This is so fucked up.

DOUGLAS
I need you to help me calm her down. Just help me talk to her.

GRANT
We should get her father. 

DOUGLAS
His phone's off. I messaged him to meet us there.

GRANT
When did this start?

DOUGLAS
When I saw her in the kitchen a couple weeks ago, she looked scared. She said she found a note. Some fucked up note.

GRANT
What did it say?

DOUGLAS
I don't know! I never saw any note. She said it was angry, and violent. 

GRANT
Do you think there was really a note?

Douglas falls quiet, eyes never off the road.


GRANT
What else?

DOUGLAS
Just weird little things. She said she found broken photos and heard shouting. She's been accusing me of all these strange things lately. Then this.

GRANT
Shit. We'll get her help.


They drive through the night not speaking another word. Pulling onto the lonely road leading up to Abby's house their car is SMASHED from behind by another vehicle, they spin out just outside the driveway. Abigail's father Richard's car screeches to a stop in front of them. Richard steps out of the car and points a shotgun at Douglas's head.

Cont'd...
