Screenplay

Here’s a small sample from one of my screenplays. If you’d like to see more, please ask. If you’d like to repoduce it, please ask first. (The format has been eased for all to read it easily – all of my screenplays will be in Final Draft industry format.)

EXT. NEW YORK CITY – DAY

An above ground SHOT over 5th Avenue where the traffic is in gridlock. A STREET CAMERA stares over the view as we hear

JORDON (V.O.)
I’m looking at the street and I can’t see a thing because there’s so much moving about; cars and people. We can still do this, you know. Wave your hand in the air so I can see you. Jeez, look at that idiot driving up there.

CUT TO:

INT. ALLAN’S S-U-V – DAY

Cars are not moving. There’s been an accident ahead. Allan dials a number on his cell

ALLAN WEARY

late 30s, decked out in jeans and t-shirt.

SARAH’S VOICE
I’m going to get changed. Have you heard more from Jordon yet?

ALLAN
No. Some idiot has gotten into a crash a few cars ahead of me. I don’t know if I’ll be five or fifty minutes.

ALLAN presses ‘end’ and throws the cell phone on to the passenger’s seat. A second later, it rings again.

ALLAN
Hello.

GEORGE
(over phone; unfamiliar)
Hello Allan

ALLAN
Who’s this?

GEORGE
It’s me Allan

ALLAN
What do you want?

GEORGE
I know you

ALLAN
Good, but who are you?

GEORGE
I’ve just killed Jordon for you.

ALLAN
What?

GEORGE
You heard me.

ALLAN picks up a notepad and pen

ALLAN
I didn’t want Jordon dead!

GEORGE
I think you did, really.

ALLAN
Are you crazy?

GEORGE
Probably I am, but I also know where Sarah is?

ALLAN drops the notepad and pen

ALLAN
I don’t know who the hell you are, but you leave Sarah out of this.

GEORGE
Don’t you love your daughter, Allan?
