News - Quiet Riot
Hi guys:
Ok so it's not a short story as much as it is a film script, but as a film student I will be making a short film this year and I finally managed to finish my script and I thought some of you might like to read it.
*******
Quiet Riot
01 - EXT - STREET - EVENING - 01
A woman in her mid-twenties stands outside a tertiary institution, as a man, also in his mid-twenties, pulls up in a car in front of her; she opens the passenger door and climbs in. Loud music is being played out of the car stereo.
KATE:
Thanks for giving me a ride home Andy.
ANDREW:
(mutters) Sure, no problem.
KATE:
Ok, what’s wrong?
ANDREW:
Nothing.
02 - INT - LOUNGE - EVENING - 02
Joe, a man in his mid-forties, is sitting in an armchair, reading a book, while the same loud music as before is emanating from a room upstairs. Joe looks up from his book, and looks up at the ceiling; he is starting to get aggravated by the noise coming from upstairs.
JOE:
(raised voice) Would you please turn that music down!
The music is really annoying Joe at this point, so he slams his book down on the side table.
JOE:
(yelling) I told you to turn that goshdanged music down.
03 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 03
As the car turns onto the motorway the two occupants continue their conversation.
KATE:
C’mon, you can tell me anything.
ANDREW:
(irately) I said there was nothing wrong, now why won’t you leave me alone.
04 - INT - LOUNGE - EVENING - 04
Joe gets up out of his chair, with a pained expression on his face.
JOE:
(yelling, but not as comfortably) C’mon, you know that I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past few months.
Joe looks down at the floor, puts his hand up to his face, rubs his eyes, groans, and walks out of the lounge.
05 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 05
KATE:
How long have we known each other?
ANDREW:
I don’t know, a few years, I guess.
KATE:
Exactly, and if you don’t realise by now that you can tell me anything, I don’t know why we are even friends.
06 - INT - KITCHEN - EVENING - 06
Joe walks into the kitchen, sighs, opens a cupboard, pulls out a pack of aspirin, and places it on the bench. He opens another cupboard, pulls out a glass, walks over to the fridge, half fills the glass with milk, and places it next to the aspirin. Opens the aspirin box, pops out two tablets into his hand, takes a swig of the milk, swallows the first aspirin, washes it down with another swig of milk, swallows the second, finishes off the milk, rinses the glass, and sighs.
JOE:
(mumbling) Shit, I hate this song.
(looks up at the ceiling, and yells) Did you hear that, playing this fucking song of yours, over, and over, is driving me nuts.
Joe turns and starts to walk out of the kitchen.
07 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 07
ANDREW:
Fine, if you are so desperate to know, I’ll tell you.
08 - INT - STAIRWELL - EVENING - 08
Joe walks up to the bottom of the stairs and looks up toward the room the music is emanating from.
JOE:
(yelling) It seems to me that you are doing this, just to spite me. Do you really hate me that much?
Joe starts making his way up the stairs.
09 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 09
ANDREW:
My father just kicked me out because I told him he was a fucking hypocrite for sleeping with some floozy half his age, when he was so quick to judge me for getting involved with someone older. Not to mention the fact that he is so ashamed of himself that he refuses to introduce me to her.
10 - INT - STAIRWELL - EVENING - 10
As Joe makes his way up the stairs, he stumbles on a ……, falls, twisting his ankle, and grunts as he hits the stairs.
JOE:
(cursing) Son of a bitch.
(yelling) Why the fuck do you have to leave your stuff lying around everywhere. Sometimes I think you really are trying to kill me?
Joe struggles to his feet and continues his way up the stairs toward the bedroom, limping as he climbs the remaining stairs.
11 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 11
KATE:
C’mon, I can tell that’s not the only thing bothering you.
ANDREW:
Yeah, well, what does it matter anyway?
KATE:
(faces Andrew) Of course it matters.
(turns back and looks out the windscreen) You know what....all you guys are the same; why can't you just say what's on your mind?
ANDREW:
(shouting) Fine, I caught Joe in bed with another guy....are you happy now?
KATE:
Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise. I thought you two made a great couple.
ANDREW:
Yeah, well, so did I. I guess I won’t need this then.
Andrew grabs something from around his neck, pulls on it, and it comes off. He opens his fist, it is one half of a heart pendant, and throws it out the window.
12 - INT - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE BEDROOM - EVENING - 12
Joe is now standing in front of the bedroom door, looking quite dishevelled, as he pounds on the door.
JOE:
(raising his voice) I’m warning you, if you make me come in there and turn it off myself, it’s not going to be pretty.
13 - EXT - CAR INT. - EVENING - 13
KATE:
Look... I really need to tell you something...well...I'm not sure how I should say this...but...well, here goes...I'm in love with your father.
Andrew turns his head in surprise at what Kate just said to him, and the car turns into oncoming traffic.
ANDREW:
You're what?
KATE:
(screaming) Look out!
As the car crashes, we see the bright lights of an oncoming vehicle and hear the sound of the cars brakes slammed on and the car crash.
14 - INT - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE BEDROOM - EVENING - 14
After recovering his composure, Joe knocks on the door again.
JOE:
(pleadingly) C’mon honey, could you please turn that music off?
Joe places his hand on the doorknob and starts to turn it.
15 - INT - BEDROOM - EVENING - 15
Joe enters the bedroom, which is in complete silence, walks over to the stereo, which is switched off, looks at it in confusion, pushes the eject button for the tape deck, it’s empty. Joe wanders over to the bed in complete confusion, picks up a photograph and looks at it. It is of himself and Andrew, locked in a lovers embrace. Joe looks at the pendant now sitting on the bedside table, removes the other half from around his neck and places it beside the one on the table. He suddenly throws the photograph at the stereo.
JOE:
(screaming) Why won’t you stop playing that awful music?
Joe places his hands over his ears and curls up into a foetal position on the bed.
