New Script

I decided to go in a new direction with my script. Here is script part 2.

Terrible People

Scene1:

A Bank robbing couple return to a spot in the woods to recover the money they buried in the mountains.

Setting: A couple is hiking through the mountains. You see a montage of them climbing over rocks and logs ect. A tree covers the cameras view and you now see the couple sitting together by a large oak tree. There is a long silence of cicadas and at last Abe the young man begins to speak.

Abe: It’s been twelve months, Two weeks, and three days. (Pregnant Pause) I’ve waited a long time.

Ruby: The heart is still carved in the tree. I was so happy that day when we made a promise to wait. You’ve been very patient and I love you.

Abe:  I just can’t wait to get at it and touch it! I can barely remember what it smells like. I lie awake at night in a cold sweat just thinking about it. I cant take it anymore let me at it! (Abe gets up and walks over to the tree. He has a shovel now and starts to dig. )

Ruby: West is really far away babe. Why cant we just stay here? We grew up here, we know everybody and everybody knows us.

Abe: (Abe stops digging) We have been over this Ruby. How many times do I have to spell it out for you? Everybody knows who we are. I grew up on Moser road in the same house that my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather lived in. My whole family lives on that road they decided to name it after us. Nobody ever leaves this town it’s a curse, It’s a family curse. It’s not going to happen to me, I will make damn sure of that.

Ruby: But think about all the good times we had together. We made that monster movie and raised that baby owl into adult hood. Think about all the friends we would leave behind.

Abe: We can make new friends in California. Cool celebrities and millionaire surfer beach bums.

Ruby: I don’t want to make new friends Abe! I just want to live here where I feel safe.

Abe: But were not safe Ruby. You know what we did and they will come looking for us. That money is our ticket out of here before it’s too late!  (Abe Slams the shovel down on the ground and it causes a root to break and causes the tree to fall on Abe’s legs. The tree is shown falling in a wide shot but the falling on legs is in close up.) 

Abe: Oh god my legs help, I can’t feel my legs!

Ruby: Oh no I cant handle this I cant handle this!

Abe: Quick calls an ambulance I’m loosing a lot of blood!

Ruby: I just think we are at different points in our lives right now.  

Abe:  I need help, it hurts, wait, are you breaking up with me?

Ruby: Its not just about you Abe! (Runs away and cries)

Abe: I’m loosing blood fading fast. (Dies)

Scene2:

Ruby is driving a car and crying. She stops crying for a second and looks down. The next scene you see that her breaks don’t work and she drives off of a cliff.

Cut to Black.
