INT. JONATHAN’S HOUSE-SUNSET
DEATH
Nice to see you again Adam I see
your bags gotten quite full
ADAM
Yes I have had a streak of luck
with souls recently though I don't
think some deserved to saved
but its all down to luck I’m not
here to question your rules
DEATH
I would be happy to take any
souls off your hands if you would
like perhaps the one you cheated
me out of
ADAM
I’m sure you would but as I
remember it I won it fair and
square anyway who is this one
3. 2.
DEATH
Jonathan 75 years old he has had
a full life with many regrets.
what colours his soul
ADAM
He has a pink soul meaning he has
made quite a few mistakes… ah
well its all luck who gets
his soul you want to use my cards
or yours
DEATH
I don't trust your cards ever
since we have met you use the same
cards I believe you have them
rigged in your favor we shall use
mine
ADAM
(laughs) you figured it out death
your still as sharp as you were
last century but cheating or
not I still out smarted you
DEATH
You got what I wanted you to have
any way old friend would you like
to take your seat now
(he points to the angels chair)
ADAM
Yes of course straight to the
point as always
Adam proceeds to sit down and death sits soon after Adam
sits with one leg crossed where death sits with both feet
on the ground.
4. 3.
Death speaks while sharing out the cards between each
other.
DEATH
His crimes were they severe or
simple ones
ADAM
They were pretty bad he murdered
his boss with a gun one in the
heart two in the head
DEATH
What were the circumstances
ADAM
His boss gave her no choice but
to have relations with him or make
Jonathan lose his job they
seemed to be in debt so she did it
to help keep them alive
DEATH
Im guessing he was enraged by
this humans lt the littlest thing
annoy them
ADAM
I find it weird Death condemns
people keeping him in a job but I
will admit he did over react tin
my opinion
DEATH
We have no right to judge him
that’s not our jobs we have never
lived a normal life so we
cant say what is right and wrong
5. 4.
ADAM
Always a fun time you know that
besides my life was normal before
we met
We here the life machines beep get louder and flash to a
young man back in the past arguing with his wife
FADE IN FROM
WHITE
INT. Jonathan’s-House-Night
JONATHAN
What do you mean calm down you
let him do it you didn’t even
consult me
STEFANIE
It was for us
JONATHAN
No you were the only thing he
could never have the only thing
that he had no power
over and now a part of you belongs
to him to.
Jonathan looks at his nightstand door and Stefanie shakes her head scared
JONATHAN
He’s a dead man he took my wife
(cocks gun) Now i will take his
life
Jonathan runs out the door and it flashes to white to a carpark with a
man wearing a suit
-Location: carpark
MR PETERS
Jonathan What are you doing here.
Ah well it doesn't matter I was
6. 5.
just thinking you and your
wife should come round my house
for dinner
JONATHAN
Sorry Mr peters were not going to
the same place well after this who
knows we might (he raises
gun)
MR
PETERS
Oh god no
(BANG)
Mr peters falls to the ground clutching his chest in pain
JONATHAN
I hope you found peace Mr peters
i’ll see you in hell
Peters
You realize you are not the good guy in this we are both
as bad as each other you can still walk but we don’t do
that do we the bad guys never know when to stop
John
Ill never be like you
Peters
John my boy you already are
(BANG BANG) We flash to white back to the card game
between death and Adam
-Fade in from white
-Location: Jonathan's house
DEATH
I think I remember that if I
recall I won that game
ADAM
Yes I only had one card left we
were playing black jack like today
7. 6.
DEATH
Yes some irony there for him
maybe he is like Peters
ADAM
Huh irony something humans are
oblivious to him
DEATH
If I seem to recall Adam you were
human at one point or another
though your powers are abnormal
your soul is not I thought I made
that clear before
ADAM
Were you ever human?
DEATH
Such trivial questions are not
important when we are working
Adam. How is he doing?
ADAM
He hasn't got long I think he will
die any minute now but he seems to
be a fighter
DEATH
A shame did you see anything else
about his life we should know
ADAM
He lost her she died a month later
she took her own life hung herself
DEATH
Was she the one you won?
ADAM
Yes she was 27 lost her son at
birth
DEATH
I remember you were sad if I
remember you had his soul as well
back when we were using your cards
8. 7.
ADAM
A baby cannot commit sin his soul
was pure so he belongs to me
DEATH
Yes we fight for those who have
made good and bad but if a soul is
truly pure they are yours but if
they are evil with no hope of
redemption they were mine a fair
system if I say so myself
ADAM
Are you only saying its fair
because you’re winning or because
you made this system?
DEATH
Death releases a hearty laugh
We hear the beeping getting louder again and we fade to white
-Fade in from white
-Location: Jonathan's house
All we can see is hanging legs as someone comes up the stairs
JONATHAN
Stephanie I’m sorry I stormed off
this morning it wasn't your fault
you didn't need that and I wanted
to say I'm sorry………………
He pauses and screams as it fades to white with loud beeping heard again
to the card game
Fade in from white We see death with Adam with one card each looking at
each other intensely
Adam
We have one card each I see
Death
I see that but the question is who wins
Adam
I think I know who will win this one
9. 8.
Death
I don’t play favorites if you lose I wont give you a second chance
Adam
Yeah yeah here (He puts his last card down)
Death
Well ill be I underestimated you
Adam
You always do
Death
Fine take him but know this one day I wont play so easy
Adam
Ill take you on anytime old timer
Death
Maybe we will play for your life
Adam
Ha are you still upset over that I didn't think I would win the first
time I tell you what you win the next game and I will tell you the truth
if I cheated
Death
I know they were rigged I wouldn’t have hired you if you weren’t brave
enough to go against me
Adam leaves as a high pitched beep of the machine is heard with a high
pitch sound is heard and we see Jon walking with Adam down a hall going
from his elderly self under lights that give a flash and with each flash
he becomes younger until he stops and smiles and whispers “Stephanie”
