This is a script for a 5 minute film production that was done at Cape Town's CityVarsity Film School at a first year level. We weren't really concentrating on scriptwriting, mainly on camera work and lighting, but I thought people might enjoying reading this - it's a little different - I look forward to your comments!
"Just a Game"
A countdown timer of a watch runs down from 1 Hour, then 2 friends are sitting talking to each other - they are about to be approached by the waiter (TOMMY).

Y'know my ma dude, not being arrogant or anything, but her whining blows my legs apart. It throttles my sanity's conception that paper is not anything but wood.

SCOTT wipes his forehead and scratches the back of his head in a state of disbelief on what garbage he has produced from his own mouth

SCOTT and AI are taken aback from the WAITER (TOMMY)'s voice as they were so enveloped in they're own saga that they did not even notice her presence
A.I.
Um????....no.....what's that?
WAITER (TOMMY)
Here, let me sit down...
