Extract from screenplay (in production)

 EXT. BAY DOCKS. DAY

ENZI and JOE are walking down the alley with a large suspicious duffel bag, they are deep in some banter, until they round a corner, greeted by a group of armed detectives. The screen becomes greyscale, and time slows sown and stops as ENZI’s dialogue commences as diagetic narration.

ENZI
So let me tell you a little story, eh? A little tale about how
Me and a buddy o’ mine got set up yeah?, but ya’ know, it aint
Pretty.

EXT.OUTSIDE THE DON’S HOUSE.DAY

Straight cut to the outside of a house as ENZI and JOE walk down the street and into the house, making sure they aren’t being followed.

ENZI
So anyways this was about a week ago, me ‘n’ my buddy Joe hear get a phone call from Mr Giuseppe, our Don, the big man, the guy non a yous wanna fuck with. Anyways, he wanted to see us, so, we do.

INT.INSIDE THE HOUSE.DAY

Once inside the house a straight cut to them opening a door and peering into a room where a  figure is seated behind a desk. By his desk lamp as the only light. Once let in the two take there seat as the Don starts to talk to them.


ENZI
So we walk into the office, and it’s a regular scene ya know? Wise guys comin in, comin out, yada yada, I digress. So me ‘n’ joe, we sit down at the desk and ask whats up and Marco looks up, says he asked for the two of us personally because he knew he could trust us.

The two look on with smiles on there faces as if they were hearing good news, the Don Marco makes a few gestures with his hands, and hands the two men a folder with photos and reports.

ENZI
My first ever hit, man I was so excited, don’t get me wrong it sounds bad but when you come in to this kinda work you never wanna be stuck doing drop offs of selling fuckin’ shit to people worth even less than the shit your sellin ha ha, ya know?

The two get up and walk out of the room, and are shown to the door by a woman, they then exchange looks with each other as the walk out of the door.

ENZI
As long as Joe could keep his shit together we should be able to pull this off, in and out.

EXT.OUTSIDE A HOUSE.DAY

The two arrive suspiciously at the house in the folder and knock on the door, only to be answered by a girl, Enzi grabs her and throws her to Joe who holds her mouth and points a gun to her head, keeping her quiet. Enzi the nods to Joe and enters the house.

INT.INSIDE THE HOUSE.DAY


ENZI
This went down with out a hitch, Arrive at the house, deal with a ‘complication’, enter, survey the surroundings, make contact with the target, remain silent, approach, subdue, gain fear, deliver message, finish. So simple it’s a beautiful thing. Not bad for my first day, at least that’s what I thought.
