Jake the Orphan
ReplyDeleteScene I
Jake, the little orphan had little food, actually so little that he was desperate. He had to steal. Jake stole from supermarkets as for it is so packed with people it is easy to steal food and other items. Jake was a very good thief until a policeman on duty was told that a small 12 year old boy was stealing from the supermarket. “Beeeb Beeeb Beeeb” rang the security bell in the supermarket.
Policeman: “I know your in here you brat! You can’t hide!” said the police officer confidently.
After a whole hour of running around in the supermarket, Jake was tired. With all the exit’s blocked and police officers at every corner he was in deep trouble.
Policeman: “Come out, come out, where ever you are.” said the policeman sneakily . “You can’t hide forever.”
Jake finally found his escape. A fire exit 50 or so meters away. He knew it was his last hope, and if it didn’t open he would be easily caught. He thought it would be ironic for a fire exit not to open but he had to be ready for anything. Then Jake made his choice, he looked both ways and ran with all the speed in his legs toward the door. It opened and he was out of the supermarket, running in a dark alley.
Jake: “Wow what a day.” said Jake petrified, “I really don’t want to repeat this day ever again,”
Policeman: “Hey, you, kid, don’t run, WAIT!” said the policeman who had been scaring him in the supermarket, ”I’m not going to hurt you just wait”
Jake was in trouble, he had nowhere to go, the alley had ended and he had come to a dead end.
Jake: “Leave me alone you freak!” he said in despair. “Just let me go home.”
Policeman: “Aha! Got you, you little rat!” said the officer “Why where you stealing? What did you do? Where are your parents?”
Jake: “I don’t know leave me alone, let me go home” said Jake weeping.
Policeman “Why don’t you take me to your house and we can talk about your stealing?” said the policeman.

Jake and the Policeman walk into an empty bar. The barman greets them kindly.
Barman: “Good day officer.” says the barman warmly “How may I help you?”
Policeman: “Good day too you too.” he said “I found this kid sneaking around the supermarket stealing food and other goods, by any chance, do you know him?”
The barman looked closely at the boy and gave him an evil eye. Jake got scared, like he’d seen the look before.
Barman: “I’m sorry officer but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before.” he said uncertain “Coming to think of it he might be of the place, I’ve seen him at the orphanage earlier.”
Jake: “I am not an orphan you mad man.” he said angrily. “Let me go!”
Barman: “Stop lying you idiot, you are an orphan, I’ve seen you running around that area for ages.” he said in an angry tone, “Anyway officer what are you going to do with the kid?”
There was a long silent pause, except for the boy struggling silently. Finally the policeman answered.
Policeman: “I have no idea!” he said in thought.
Barman: “Why don’t you just let the poor kid go, he’ll return to the orphanage.”
Jake: “I hate you police just listen to me”
Policeman: “Shut up!” he said, now starting to get really mad, ”No I don’t think letting him go is safe he might steal more food. I think I’ll send him back to the orphanage.”
Jake: “YESS, send me back please.” he said happily. “That will make my day!”
Barman: “NOOO you can’t, it will ruin everything” he said by mistake.
Policeman: “What do you mean by, “It will ruin everything”?
Barman: “Nothing, nothing, I didn’t say anything.
Jake: “Why do you treat me like a slave. I am a living being. I do not belong to you. I hate it, its so annoying and MEAN. Leave me alone. Cant you treat me any better.” he says in such a bad mood the others get mad as well.
After some time of silence.
Jake: “OH MY GOD look what a huge bird”
Scene III
Jake takes the policeman’s wallet and runs into the street, he grabs the money in it and throws the wallet aside for a distraction. Jake then runs away and trips in his clumsiness. The barman then grabs him wildly and they run away together.
Barman: “Jake, why did you steal from the supermarket, we have enough food at home.”
Jake: “I just wanted to make you feel proud of me and not just because you treat me like a slave and I do all the work but so that you can be proud of me for who I am.”
Barman: "I am proud, now we can start a new life together, with no more house work for you………Son.”
Whilst the family run away, the police man is left finding the money that Jake the child dropped while he was taking money out of the wallet. When he finds out that they have gone forever he speaks.
Policeman: “Oh yes, my fake disguise worked. They thought I was an actual policeman. HA what losers. And now, I get my own bar. Sweet.

John: (whistles)
Elizabeth: (turns around)
John: (runs across the road)
John: Good day miss, how do you do?
Elizabeth: Hmm, fine thanks, and you?
John: Much better, now that i've seen you (winks). What is your name?
Elizabeth: Elizabeth Roberts.
John: What a beautiful name for such a beautiful young lady.
Elizabeth: Not to be rude, but was there any purpose in stopping me?
John: Why yes, I came to introduce myself, my name is John.
Elizabeth: Why, that is very sweet of you, but I must be going (starts walking away)
John: (Grabs Elizabeth) I've just arrived here, I will only be here for a couple of days. I'm a sailor you see.
Elizabeth: Yes. I can tell by the uniform (smiles)
Debra: (sips tea) Is that the sailor again? (puts on glasses) Oh my, it is him again. What does he want this time? Another girl? Where does he get them from? The poor las, she has no idea what she's getting into. That disgusting skirt-chaser... he should go back to that dump he crawled out of.
John: So what would you say to dinner this Friday?
Elizabeth: I'll see if I can fit It in, but i'm almost sure I can.
John: Well good then, I have to admit you're the prettiest girl I've seen in my life.
Elizabeth: Oh, thank you (giggles), you're not so bad yourself. (smiles)
John: Well since I'm a sailor, I need to keep myself in shape.
Elizabeth: I can see that.
Debra: She's a good catch, but what on earth is she wearing? She shouldn't be prancing about in her underwear. Kids these days! No respect for themselves. When I was young, there was a man like that. What a big mistake it was that I fell in love with him and I need to make sure that this girl doesn't do the same.
Elizabeth: So how long have you been a sailor?
John: 3 full years.
Elizabeth: That's impressive, and... is that old woman coming towards you?
John: (turns around)
Elizabeth: She looks pretty mad.
Debra: YOU!
John: Me?
Debra: Yes you, you disgusting pig, get your paws off this young lady. Haven't you broken enough hearts?
Elizabeth: What on earth is she talking about?
John: I don't know, she might have amnesia.
Elizabeth: Where is your daycare centre? I'll take you back.
Debra: No no, I am perfectly fine. I'll prove it, 2+2= 4, it's him with the problem. (points at John)
John: What on earth is your problem? (grabs Elizabeth's arm and walk away)
Debra: You're the 6th girl he has had this week. I've seen him with them each and every day.
Elizabeth: (shrugs) WHAT?
John: Don't believe her, she is insane.
Debra: If I were you I would walk away, but it's your choice. Believe whoever you want, its up to you.
Elizabeth: Is all this true? Are you just like all the other typical guys?
John: No, just come with me.
Elizabeth: No, let go of me!
Debra: You'll be making the right choice, trust me! I fell for it when I was your age, please listen to me.
Elizabeth: An old woman wouldn't just come up to us and tell me this, so it must be true. I'm going (walks away).
John: Fine, it's up to you. I don't care. (turns head, whistles and runs across the road)
Debra: (shakes her head) Pfft, men. They never learn, do they.

Matt: Watching T.V

Jacob: Actually , I came to talk to you about something..
Matt: Ok but make it snappy
Jacob: Well , there are these girls at school ..
Matt: Use protection!
Jacob: No no it isn’t about that
Matt: Oh ok
Jacob: Well basically . I really like one of them . It’s Kelly & Becky and well I caught them smoking. And becky convinced me to try a cigerette telling me girls dig it when guys smoke. So I did and it was really discusting and horrible. So I don’t want to smoke but that’s like all they are going to do so what should I do ? I mean I want to tell on them, but I don’t think that would be the right thing to do but I don’t really want to let it be and have to hang out with them when they smoke.
Matt: Well.. Most kids your age are going through that experimental age where they want to try different stuff so I mean it’s just a bit of harmless experimentation. Telling on them wont really get anyone anywhere because they’ll get into trouble and then they’ll hate you and then you’ll feel like .. bad. But do what you want to , do what you think is right. If you join them just watch out and don’t get addicted.
Jacob: Okay. Thanks , I didn’t know you were that passionate though .
Matt: Nah, I read it in a book.
Jacob: Ha Ha ok. Well thanks
Matt: No problem. Now .. Out .
(Jacob smiles and leaves. Kelly and Becky enter talking)
Kelly: So then what happened ?
Becky: So then she was like , it’s over. Move on
Kelly: No!
Becky: Yeah! That’s what I said. So then he was like , I’ll never move on , you’ll always be in my heart and on my mind. And then turned and walked away
Kelly: ahhhhh ! How exciting
(jacob enters)
Jacob: (in a high pitched mimicking voice) O..M..G. NO way!!
That’s totally Whack!
(Kelly and Becky look at Jacob. He looks reallky serious)
Becky: Hey Jake. Why so serious?
Jacob: We need to talk
Becky: So talk
Jacob: Well lately all you do is hang out with Kelly . And all you do with her is smoke. I don’t know why , but you do . And I don’t want to be a smoker so I’ve decided what I’m going to do. I’m not going to tell the teachers , because that is childish and immature and it’s your life, so I’ve decided i’m just not going to hang out with you anymore.
Becky: Are you serious?! (looks at christina) Because that’s absurd!!
(Becky & Kelly laugh)
Jacob: I’m dead serious
Kelly: So your like, dumping us ? Because that is not cool.
Jacob: (angrily) So what is cool?
Kelly: Smoking, and um shopping. Everyone does those
Jacob: Well I’m not everyone. . . so see ya around
(jacob turns to leave and walks a couple of steps)
Becky: What was that??
Kelly: I have no idea. . . weird.
(Jacob turns around)
Jacob: Following the crowd doesn’t make you cool. And by the way, smoking is not cool
(Jacob Leaves)
Becky: Maybe he’s right
Kelly: Girl! Your crazy ! Now lets go to mine. (leave laughing)

ReplyDeleteDay Scene
Marco and Vanessa enter the exhibit of the Gallery
Marco: Right Vanessa, have you seen the Cini yet? The Don demands it.
Vanessa: I know Marco, but I really want a slice of the money he makes from it.
Marco: Look, we need to pay off the debts and gain his trust before he gives us any money so lets just get on with it.
Vanessa: Wait, I think I found the Cini!
Marco: You're right! Wow, look at the description, it's worth €3,000,000!
Vanessa: The Don is going to be so happy when he sees this!
A security guard nearby over hears the two and becomes suspicious, he decides to get closer.
Marco: Agreed.
Vanessa: So, when shall we steal it?
Marco: SSSSSSH, we don't want that security guard over there hearing us!
Vanessa: Excuse me, but aren't you the one with the shouting problem?
Marco: Forget about it, lets just go over there and whisper about it.
Vanessa: So, when shall we steal it?
Marco: 4:30am, no-one will be on patrol at that time, I mean, look at that security guard, he is as useful as a chocolate tea cup!
The robbers leave the room.
Security Guard: Oh those idiots calling me stupid! I recognised those two the second I lay eyes on them. Marco Fibonacci and Vanessa Luca. Mafia operatives I used to work with, lucky they didn't spot me or I would be dead by now. So they want the Cini, well they aren't stealing it on my watch. So I will stay here all night in a disguise as a fellow robber. Then I will arrest them when they least expect it.
4:30am Night Scene
ReplyDeleteMarco: I'll go through first to see if the coast is clear, you disable the security cameras.
Vanessa: Ok then, signal me when the coast is clear.
Marco enters building, he doesn't see anyone
Marco: Clear to proceed through Vanessa.
Vanessa enters
Vanessa: At least the backlights are still on or we wouldn't be able to see anything.
Marco: I see the Cini, pass me the screwdriver so I can take it off the wall, then you hold it.
Vanessa: Wait, did you hear something?!
They spot a security guard, Marco grabs out a gun
Security Guard: I'm alone, who are you?
Marco: I'm Marco and she is Vanessa, are you a thief?
Security Guard: Yes I am, judging by your black clothes I assume you are too.
Marco puts the gun back in his pocket
Vanessa: Yes, we are stealing the Cini over there.
Security Guard: Well I'm stealing that Ripley painting over there.
Vanessa: Admirable, if you were a robber and not a Security guard!
Marco pulls out his pistol again and puts it right on Security Guard's head
Marco: Paul-Viti, we knew it was you when we saw you in the Gallery earlier, your beard wouldn't fool any of us. We were very disappointed when you resigned, you are a traitor to all of us. I'll give you two options, either you let us go with the painting knowing that no-one will believe that we stole it as all the alarms and security cameras are off therefore letting us get away scot-free. Or, we kill you.
Paul-Viti: I would never let you get away with this!
Whilst Marco gets his gun ready, Paul-Viti quickly pulls out his pistol with the trigger going off instantly, it hits Marco in the stomach killing him. Vanessa is stunned, she gets her pistol our but Paul-Viti runs for cover to reload his pistol. Vanessa walks slowly to him.
Vanessa: Paul, you know you have lost this, you may have killed my partner, but you were never able to look into my eyes, you always feared me. I will kill you in one hit then will take the painting back to the Don, I will become rich.
Suddenly another man comes behind Vanessa, he puts a pistol to the back of her head.
Vanessa: Jericho 941 F 9mm, only person I ever knew that owned that gun was Toni Fillipo.
Toni: Vanessa, so clever, you will probably know that I am in the Italian special forces tracking down certain mafia members.
Vanessa: Im guessing you want me dead because I killed your sister two months ago.
Toni: It may have influenced me, but right now, I assume you realise that you are at a dead end. I have a gun to the back of your head and Paul-Viti is in front of you.
Vanessa: I could kill you both easily.
Toni and Paul-Viti pull back on their triggers.
Paul-Viti: Drop the gun.
Toni: Put your hands up.
Vanessa puts her hands up
Paul-Viti: Good, glad to see you understand.
Vanessa quickly grabs another pistol out of her pocket and shoots at Paul-Viti, she misses.Toni pulls on the trigger and kills Vanessa.
Toni: You ok Paul?
Paul-Viti: Yes, but we are in trouble, we have killed 2 people with almost no evidence, we could go to jail for this.
Toni: Don't worry, Vanessa may have turned the circuit boards off but I turned my camera on over there, it has all been filmed.
Paul-Viti and Toni shake hands and freeze frame
The End
