My Screenwriting Homework
SCENE I
EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - mid afternoon
The road is paved but rough. On one side of the road is a wooded area. The other is a large field. A jeep with the cover off is pulled off to the right side of the road and the hood is open. TARA is halfway in the hood and JAMES is leaning against the passenger side door smoking a cigarette. JERRY is snoring in the back seat of the jeep
TARA holds her hand out to JAMES without looking up. JAMES glances over unconcerned and looks down her shirt as he hands her a wrench from a toolbox in the back seat. TARA stands up a bit wipes the sweat from her brow and takes the wrench, again without looking. She pulls the strap on her shirt up and gets back to work, tightening something in the engine. JAMES looks out into the woods and takes a drag on his cigarette. He looks at his watch.
A silver SUV drives by and honks its horn twice at the pair as it goes. JAMES looks up. There is a truck coming quickly behind the SUV. HE glances at the gun hidden in the back seat. Instead, he grabs the explosives from the secret compartment in tool box and steps around behind TARA, who is still working on the engine. He bites the butt off of his cigarette and places the other half of the cigarette into the putty as a crude fuse. As the truck drives past he pretends to try to wave it down. The truck does not stop. He pretends to get mad, and throws the bomb into the bed of the truck.
TARA looks up at him and shakes her head then goes back to working on the engine.
SCENE II
EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - midnight
The road is paved but rough. On one side of the road is a wooded area. The other is a large field. A jeep is pulled off to the right side of the road and the hood is open. The headlights are on. TARA is halfway in the hood and JAMES is leaning against the passenger side door smoking a cigarette. JERRY’s body is lying in the back of the jeep.
TARA is working quickly on fixing the engine. JAMES is nervously looking all around. TARA grabs a wrench from the toolbox by her side and starts furiously tightening something in the engine. James puffs quickly at his cigarette, frequently looking at his watch.
An SUV drives by and honks furiously at the two on the side of the road. Both are clearly shaken, and JAMES reaches into the back and grabs the flare gun. HE gestures for TARA to go back to work, which she does. Breathing heavily, he walks around to the back drivers side and pulls JERRY’s dying body out of the back and drags it about 20 feet from the vehicle, then unloads several shots into the near-corpse lighting it instantly on fire. TARA sobs quietly, trying to concentrate on the engine.
A black truck drives by, the bed full of passengers all of whom look sad and weary. They hardly bat an eye at Jerry’s roasting flesh.
SCENE III
EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - mid afternoon
The road is paved but rough. On one side of the road is a wooded area. The other is a large field. A jeep with the cover off is pulled off to the right side of the road and the hood is open. TARA is halfway in the hood and JAMES is leaning casually against the passenger side door smoking a cigarette. JERRY is passed out from the tranquilizer gun in the back of the jeep.
TARA is working on fixing the car, clearly irritated that JAMES is so useless. JAMES is more interested in his cigarette. She holds out her hand impatiently for a wrench, which he hands to her while peering down her skimpy shirt. She stands up and wipes her brow, and her shirt strap falls revealing her right breast. She doesn’t notice, but he does. He just stares into it for a while, dropping his cigarette.
A silver SUV drives by honking loudly at her. TARA stands up and shouts something profane at them, flipping the bird and jiggling wildly. JAMES is grinning wildly.
A black truck drives by full of drunk frat boys. They hoot and holler at her and wave their beers around. Finally she looks down and notices, adjusting herself quickly. She furiously throws her wrench at JAMES who backs off laughing hysterically. She reaches into the back and pulls out the tranquilizer gun and puts a dart right in between his eyes, which cross as he slumps to the ground. She blows on the barrel of the gun as if to cool it off then shuts the hood of the jeep and drives off, leaving JAMES on the side of the road.
The genres were spy movie, zombie movie, and teen comedy. Just FYI.
