2. The Opening Scene
[Opens up with a blank screen with the
sounds of the waves that will be recorded to
give the audience a sound image of where the
camera is. The name of the production and
the company along with the actors involved
will appear slowly through this part.]
A image of a beach will slowly appear on the
screen that is saturated during the edit. A
slow pan shot to the left to receive the
character of Phoebe.
Phoebe looks out to see and remembers what
truly happened the night before.
Murder Scene
Phoebe and Rachel have got to together so
Phoebe can ask Rachel if she was the one
that started a rumour that has gone around

Phoebe
Well...you’re the
only fucking person
who knows
Rachel
What the fucking
hell is wrong with
your head? I
wouldn’t say
anything like that.
Phoebe
Well. Someone has
fucking started it.
Rachel

Phoebe
I think you’re

mate.
Phoebe
You’re meant to be
mine.
Rachel
Mate, it’s you.
Phoebe
What the fuck have

You’ve going round

Are you taking the
piss?
Rachel
Must be. It wasn't

Phoebe
Well. You think I

Phoebe
Well, who else is

Rachel

4. Who else have you
told?
Phoebe
Fucking you and
that’s it. Who else
would have I

Rachel
No it doesn’t at
all.
Phoebe
Fucking it does.
Tell me now.
[Phoebe gets right in Rachel’s face showing
her anger she has towards her friend.]
Rachel
No it doesn’t. Get
away from me.

wanting to fight with her friend when she is
this heated up.]
Phoebe
Who the fuck are
you touching?
Rachel
You.
Phoebe

like.
Rachel
Fuck you.
[Rachel turns and walks away. Reminding
herself that she will try to talk to her
friend when she has calmed down.]
However Phoebe so filled with rage picks up
a brick that has been left by building crews
next door after it was stolen. And heads
after Rachel and attacks her by hitting her
over the head.
[Flashback ends]
Car Scene
Phoebe climbs into her car, closing the door
and takes a deep breath before placing her
hands on the steering wheel and looking
through the windscreen.
Phoebe then puts on her seatbelt and gets
herself comfortable in her seat before
moving to place her key into the engine.
However stops when a noise plays in her car,
as she looks down on the passenger seat she
sees what has made the noise. Rachel’s
phone.
Phone ring to which Phoebe looks scared at
it, knowing that she must have left her
friend’s phone in her car or that Rachel
left it. She knows that now someone was
looking for Rachel she is now more and more
concerned that she is going to get caught.
After a few rings, the phone stops.
Phoebe then tries to work out what she can
do with her friend’s phone when it starts to
ring again. She soon works out that she
can’t lie about having the phone so she
choses to answer it and come up with story
to why she has the phone.
Phoebe

6. Hello?
Ow...yer hiya. Hmm…
No. No she left my
house last night,
she left her phone
in the car though.
Yer, I know she
doesn’t.
I was going to drop
it round now.
Like I am in the
car, like on my
way.
No… no idea she
didn’t say why she
just left.
Quite earlyish like
about half nine.
She just said that
she had to go. And
just left.
Nor. I offered her
a lift and
everything but… she
said she had to go
and just left. I
was like ok then.
No, I will let you
know if I hear
anything.
Nor, you will be
the first person I
ring.
Alright. Ok.
I will let you
know.

7. Ok, speak soon…
Bye
Phoebe sighed as she entered the call. She
knew that she kept repeating that her friend
had just left without a reason but that was
the story she was going with and it would be
the one that she will stick too. As Phoebe
tries to forget she remembers

over.
[Rachel continues to sing as Phoebe pulls
over. As Phoebe has pulled over they start
to do the small dance that they have created
to go with the song. And continues to sing
and laugh]
Rachel
Ok.
Will your mouth

two started to sing again.]
Phoebe
Na, I can’t.
Rachel
Yer right...Na,

10. that is only
because it takes
you back to Dan's
party though
doesn’t it?
Phoebe
Yer. It makes me
feel a little sick
to be honest.
Rachel
Yer, because you
were sick.
Phoebe
Yer I know that.
That’s what I’m
saying. Songs bring
back bad memories
man.
[Rachel changes the song, and Phoebe loves
it and lets it known by shouting.Song chose
is Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine? However then
Phoebe remembers something about the band
they are listening too and then turns the
music down to speak.]
Phoebe
This reminds me of
when we went to see
them. Do you
remember?
Rachel
Yer.
Phoebe
Do you remember
when they opened
with this?
Rachel
Oh my god.
Phoebe
Absolutely unreal.

11. Rachel
That’s was when I
got headbutted.
Phoebe
I know. Remember
you had a bad black
eye like and a half
broken nose.
Rachel
Yer. You remember
breaking your
glasses as well?
Phoebe
Yer. And remember
when I hit that
lass? I didn’t even
mean too. But oh my
god.
Rachel
Yer you did. Yer
you did.
Phoebe
No I didn’t. I
nearly knocked her
out. But oh my god
mate I’m so sorry.
She was like oh. I
was like oh no, but
to be honest she
was pissed anyway.
Rachel
She properly was.
Phoebe
Did you see the
state of her?
Rachel
Yer.
Phoebe

12. She was like this.
[Phoebe pretends to dance like a drunk
girl]
Phoebe
Then I was like wow
you’re alright pal?
Rachel
Nor
Phoebe
And then I went
into the mush pit
and then just
swung.
Rachel
Yer
Phoebe
Fun time.
[Rachel changes the song, and Phoebe loves
it and lets it known by shouting.Song chose
is Arctic Monkeys - Why’d you only call me
when you’re high?]
Rachel
It wasn’t a bad
time. This was a
good one but they
only played good at
the end.
Phoebe
Yer but it was a
nice song to close
with but you can’t
really dance to
this. So everyone
was like.
[Phoebe slowly rocks from side to side to
the beat. And then they both sing along.]
