1st Draft :Blue Periwinkle Script

FAde In:

Black Screen

Dave voice rang softly.

Dave

Almost there….

CUT TO:

A FAST MOVING CAMERA. MOVING OUT OF THE ALLEWAY TO DAVE’S POINTED INDEX FINGER.

Dave slowly motions his hand down. With a bored tone, he says

dAVE

Let’s get this over and done with

Dave starts moving into the alley with a package on his left hand. Carter was hesitating to follow but soon he joins Dave.

CUT TO:

Camera side view of the alley.

Carter feels cold. Clearly the hoodie he was wearing was not helping. The alleyway was dark; the moonlight was the only source of light. Fog was setting in. The sounds of vermin, rustling of garbage and the shuffling of footsteps seems to bounce off the walls of the Alleyway.

Cut to:

Carter lands his feet on a carcass of a mouse.

He swore himself out. Carter is creep out.

Cut to:

Camera Front view Carter shivers as he walks. Blur Dave while carter is clear in the shot.

Dave had a poker face.

CArter

Are you sure this is…well you know..Safe?

Dave

Stop being such a pussy Carter! It’s Fucking Safe! Just give the package, get the money and get the hell out.

Cut to:

Dave looks irritated by Carter’s hesitance. Carter kept quiet (looking down with resignation) and continue to navigate his way with Dave in front.

Baby

*A soft almost inaudible muffled cry*

Cut to: Camera on the side of Carters head

Carter’s ears perk as he hears the sound. He stops walking. Dave was out of the shot. Carter’s face contorted into confused.

Carter

Hey? You hear that?

Dave

Hear what?

Carter

Hear….That…

Dave rolls his eyes as he shrug. He stops walking

Dave

It’s just a rat or something

Carter

No couldn’t be….its differ-

Dave voice was soft but the tone he was using was anger.

Dave

You know if your havin’ a cold feet you-

Carter

No,I am not. There is a sound…

Dave

Really? Are you sure you’re not losin’ your mind?

Carter

Arrgh,fine! Wait here.

Cut to: Carter finding the source of the sound. Carter is frustrated that is best friend doesn’t believe him. He follows the sound until he reach into a big trash bin where his rummage through the trash.

Cut to top view of the trash to reveal the baby. Carter picks up the baby and jog back to Dave. He gave himself a small smile of triumph.

 Carter

There…I am not crazy.

Dave

Congrats! Now you have a child…now put it back.

Cut to :As if on cue the child took offense on dave’s snide remark and wail loudly. Dave hands immediately cover his ears and carter tried his best to soothe the baby from crying.

Dave

Fuck! Make it Stop!

Carter

I’m trying! I’m Tryin’!

Dave

SHUT IT UP!!!!!!!

Dave threatened pulling out his gun from his pocket and pointed it at Carter…more specifically at the baby. A wave of emotion came over-shock, fear, angry, sad, disappointment, protective-in a single nano-second.

Without a second more to lose, Carter’s instinct kick in, quickly I held the baby closer. His stance immediately turned protective-buying me some time to calm the baby. Carter gently shushed the baby. Whispering sweet nothing to him. But no avail.

Dave

You know what? *UCK THIS! I am doing this job myself and you can go screw that thing!

Dave stomps off. Wide-eyed, Carter stares blankly at Dave’s back until the darkness eats his image up. After that, the baby wail came to a halt. Carter smile knowingly to the baby.

Carter

You don’t like him much do you?

Carter made a makeshift bed on the cold concrete floor (from trash bags) for the baby. Carter strips his hoodie off his back to give warm for the baby.

Carter

I’ll be right back, I need to apologize and help him, he is after all my best friend and he is nice if you get to know him

          Cut to: camera back view of carter

Carter was about to open his mouth to apologise when…

Carter saw Dave getting shot and fall down.

Gunshot

BANG!

Cut to: Camera on the front of Carters head

Carter muffled his gasp with my hands making sure he don’t make a sound

Cut to: Middle shot Dave
Dave was drench in blood-his blood. His whole body was shivering. His hazel orbs were dilating-stricken in even more fear- as the shuffling of footsteps began to draw nearer and nearer. His completion grew paler by the second. 

Cut to: Close shot Dave

He mouths a plea of help to my direction.

Cut to: back of Carter.

Unfortunately, Carter’s fear looms heavily on his back, thus paralyzing him from moving.

Carter saw a man clad in a black trench coat walking casually towards Dave. He was holding a gun-presumably the gun he used to kill Dave. He has a short spiky hair, eyes that crazy people have and a tight calm smile. He uses his right leg to step on Dave’s head. Daves’s eyes widen, fearing on what is to come. The man’s calm smile contorted into a menacing frown. He pulled the trigger and…Dave’s eyes turned dull with death

Smiling, John closes the door behind him.

Cut to: camera follow carter’s running.

 Carter snapped himself out of his panicked reverie. he made a 180 degrees turn and quickly bolted. Hearing his frantic footsteps the man, quickly turned his attention to him. He began giving a barrage of bullets for him to dodge and avoid. Carter can hear some of the bullets singing death threats over his ears. he can feel the force of air created by the cutting of bullets grazing on his skin.

Cut to: Camera on the ground with baby.

Carter saw the baby in his line of sight and quickly-as if practiced- he scooped the baby up and continue running without changing his speed. The baby cried hysterically by the sudden motion.

Cut to: camera follows the Carter.

He would occasionally push some rubbish dump to obstruct the way in the hopes of slowing his assailant down. Even out of the alleyway he still continues running. The baby started to quiet down. He stops when he finally felt tired and his legs gave out of him. He sat by the road. Panting and wheezing, trying to catch his breath. He was sweating profusely. Slowly, his emotions caught up to him. Tears start dropping out of his eyes. He was holding on to the baby quite tightly.

Cut to: Close shot of Carters’s face.

Carter look at the baby and smile, tears still streaming down.

Carter( voice over)

How ironic, those tears are both meant for mourning a death of a friend and a celebration of surviving

Cut to: Close shot of Carters’s face. Zoom out to long shot as he looks up to the moon

Carter( voice over)

I saved you….. And you saved me. Fate could be funny.
