‘Why me' final script
1. ‘Why me!’
Establishing shot of the quiet street with a cheerful girl
approaching listening to lively music with her earphones.
There is a sudden silence as she receives a text. Camera zoom
on the text reading:
‘We know what you did. Does he? Be carful who you trust. We’re
coming for you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED:p’
She becomes frightened and starts sprinting home.
She struggles to open the door. Extreme close up on the lock.
Eventually manages to open the door and slams it shut only to
find her boyfriend waiting in the hallway staring at her.
Boyfriend: Hey! Sup!
Girlfriend:
“No. (Shrieking) READ THIS”!
Shows boyfriend the phone.
Boyfriend:
Don’t worry. I’ll protect you. I’m always
here for you.
Screen fades. The girl is calm whilst drinking hot chocolate
on the sofa. Suddenly the doorbell rings. The girl cautiously
gets up and walks towards the door. The camera pans with her
as she walks slowly towards the door. The doorbell constantly
rings. ‘ring ring ring’
Once at the door, the girl peeps through the spy hole and she
sees a character in a mask staring back at her and starts
panting. As she doesn’t open up, the guy forces his way
through the door pushing the girl to the ground in the
process.
Girl: “What do you want?
Why you here?”
Character (the lead gang member):
“Ssshhhhhhhh” covering her mouth.
Girl: screams trying to get the
neighbours attention.
2. Two more gang members appear to assist the lead gang member.
The girl reaches out for a shoe to throw at the assaulter but
misses. The secondary gang member walk towards the girl with a
baseball bat.
Second gang member:
“big mistake.
He hits her round the head and she falls to the floor and the
screen goes black with a high pitch noise.
Scene change to bathroom
The black screen slowly fades into a first person shot of the
girl staring at the ceiling. She is opening and shutting her
eyes.
She looks around her and realises she is lying in her bathroom
trapped in her bath. She stares and sneers at the gang
members.
Girl: ‘why me! Why now!’
Scene change from bathroom to hallway
The lead and secondary gang member are talking.
Lead gang member: ‘dispose of the evidence’
handing the other member a knife.
Secondary gang member:
‘really! Now! Do you not wanna wait!’
The lead gang member walks away
Scene change from hallway to bathroom
The secondary gang member walks towards the girl pointing the
knife at her.
Girl: ‘why! Help! Why me! Why now!’
Secondary gang member: ‘you know why! You deserve what’s
coming to you!’ the gang member is sweating and slightly takes
of his mask accidentally showing the girl his face.
Girl; ‘oh my god! (Boyfriends name)
its you! What are you doing! I loved you!
Dont you love me?!
The boyfriend bends over the bathtub stabbing the girl. The
camera pans upwards as blood splats over the tiles. The screen
fades black and to silence.
The screen fades back with the noise of finger clicking.
Boyfriend: ‘hey, wake up, please,
3. im begging you’
The camera goes to a first person shot of the girl, she is
staring straight ahead of her and is not moving.
Boyfriend; “I know you’re in there!
I know you can hear me!”
