1. 1
EXT. FADE IN:OUTSIDE TAVERN - NIGHT
It's a dark quiet night and there is no noise outside but
the lights are flickering in an old tavern. A sign swung
slowly 'the sunk'n norwegian' is the its name.
INT. FADE IN: INSIDE THE SUNK'N NORWEGIAN
The light is low and lit only by the candles that are placed
around the room. There a faint sound of people talking and
the low tone of music coming from another room. In one of
the far corners of a room sits three men huddled closely
around a table. Two of the men are listening intently to the
third man. The third man looks old and worn out with old
scars and a wrinkled face.
PIRATE 3
I'll tell ye once and ill tell you
again its a death sentenced to go
there.
PIRATE 1
What do ya mean by that?
PIRATE 3
You mean to say you don't know the
stories that come from there?
Pirate 3 leans closer to the others and lets out a loud
sigh.
PIRATE 3
The tail goes that all ships that
pass through there are never seen
again. No one knows how, no one has
ever returned to tell the of there
fate. There are sighting's from
passing ships they say that it's
some kind of giant squid but that's
just...
PIRATE 2
You don't mean...
Pirate 2 takes a breath
PIRATE 2
The - the kraken do you?
PIRATE 3
AM I TELLING THE STORY OR ARE YOU
BOY?!
2. 2
Pirate 3 slams his fist down on the table while shouting at
the other man. The tavern is filled with an eery silence but
quickly passes as fast as it came. The three pirates just
sit there in silence until the third pirate speaks up.
PIRATE 3
And yes I was. But as i was saying
that's just nonsense from fools who
believe that stuff.
He says this while glaring intently at pirate 2
PIRATE 1
Well then we will have nothing to
worry about then will we...
PIRATE 3
I guess not. Now there's the matter
of payment for my information and
cooperation. We're not gonna' have
a problem are we?
Pirate 3 says this with a twisted grin on his face that puts
the others on edge.
PIRATE 2
W-we we don't want no trouble.
B-but you gotta' show that you ave'
it...
PIRATE 3
What's the matter boy! Cat got yer
tongue?
Pirate 3 reaches down and as he does this Pirate 1 grabs his
holstered pistol,tucked into a band tied around his waist,
but as pirate 3 comes back up with a role of old paper
pirate 1 lowered his hand.
PIRATE 3
Yar i got it, been carrying it
round for a long time now it all be
yours if you stand to your part of
the bargain.
Pirate 1 looks at him with a unsure expression. But grabs a
small bag from inside his shirt and places it on the table.
Its a small brown skin bag with the top tied tight. Pirate 3
grabs it and opens it as he does a wide grin appears apone
his face. He throws over the role of paper and takes a big
swig from his tankard.
3. 3
PIRATE 3
Well? What more do you want? Get
out of my face.
The other 2 pirates get up to leave and as they do someone
runs into them pushing pirate 1 into pirate 2 as they
collapse into a heap on the floor runs of and out of the
tavern. When the get back the realise they've been robbed.
PIRATE 1
That guy guy just robbed us!
(He yells this at Pirate
3)
PIRATE 3
Not my problem. But if i was you
i'd go get him...
Pirates 1 and 2 agree and start to run after him. Once they
are gone pirate 3 starts to laugh menacingly.
EXT. THE STREETS
The pirates are chasing the robber relentlessly round the
streets and over rooftops they are starting to gain on him
but he starts to get away. just as he looks like he's about
to get away he hits a dead end down a back street there's no
where for him to go now..
PIRATE 1
Hey i know you! You're that dirty
rat that works for the navy!
ROBBER
So what if i am?
PIRATE 1
Well you know what we do with human
waste? Don't you?
Pirate 1 slowly walks towards him. And when he gets within a
meter of the robber he draws his sword slowly.
ROBBER
No. No! You cant do this i am the
part of the roya
Pirate 1 plunges the sword deep into the robbers chest. The
robber looks down in horror as blood stars to drip onto the
ground. Pirate 1 pull his sword out and wipes the blood onto
the robbers shirt and puts it back into his holster. He the
picks up the roll of paper and walks away. The robber is
left as he collapses onto the floor with blood poring from
4. 4
his chest and mouth.
PIRATE 2
You didn't have to kill him. We
could of used him for information
PIRATE 1
I know i didn't have to. But I
wanted to. If i don't kill someone
once in a while people start to get
out of line and i will not have
that on my ship.
PIRATE 2
I guess but still...
