0113 Video - Free Script
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:46 pm
Yes, the plot is starting to move along but the writing is getting pretty sloppy. Here is how I would love to see the next video play out. . .
(The usually sunlit-blessed study in Jonas' house is surprisingly dark. Daniel flicks on a desk lamp for clarity. Jonas is fiddling in the background, reorganizing some books).
Daniel: Okay, it's late. (he looks back, camera follows him to show a digital clock reading 2:37am). Really late. But Bree finally left her room. She's in the kitchen and Jonas and I are going in for the kill.
Jonas: So to speak.
Daniel: Right. Plan A failed for Jonas. I failed with Plan B. It's time for Plan Bree.
Jonas: The kid gloves are off, beast boy. (Jonas approaches camera) It's intervention time.
(Jonas picks up camera and they head out to the kitchen where Bree is staring aimlessly at the opened fridge door)
Bree: Space. Please.
Daniel: (walking towards Bree) Your mother was wrong, Bree.
Bree: Go away, Daniel.
Daniel: Your mother was wrong.
Bree: I just need some space. Got it?
Daniel: She was wrong, Bree. It's okay to cry.
Bree: When I want your opinion -- IF I want your opinion -- I will let you --
Daniel: It's okay to cry, Bree. It's not a sign of weakness.
(Daniel lays out his arms, Bree sheepishly moves in for a hug)
Daniel: It's a sign of strength. Your mother was wrong, Bree.
Bree: Oh, Daniel. (hugs him back)
Daniel: She was wrong, Bree. Way wrong.
(Bree begins to cry)
Daniel: Keep it coming, Bree. Let it out.
(Bree cries louder, hugs him harder)
Bree: She wasn't even my mom!
Daniel: I know, Bree. Let it out.
Bree: She killed him, Daniel. She killed the only father I ever knew.
Daniel: I'm here for you. We're here for you.
Bree: She told him that if he went out to see me that she would have him followed. She is the reason he died.
Daniel: I know, Bree.
Bree (pulls away, sniffles, and wipes away at her tears, flashes a vengeful smile at the camera): But what they don't know is that my father told me everything. I know where they are. I know why they -- (faces Daniel) Can we go?
Daniel: Can we go where?
Bree: I know where they are, Daniel. They can't get to me if I get to them first. Can we go?
Daniel: (looks at Jonas) I don't know if that's such a good idea, Bree.
Bree: Who is being weak now?
Daniel: They've got guns. They've got connections.
Bree: They've got weaknesses. Besides, it's only a matter of time before they find us here. (faces Jonas) You know that, don't you Jonas?
(camera nods in agreement)
Daniel: Okay then. Kid gloves? Off.
