bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Chip

Get back! God grow up! You guys are actin' stupid.

bensonchris - two years ago 5 versions.

Chip looks at Forest with the "Oops I shouldn't have said that" look and Josh gives Chip the "I can't believe you said that" look. This is meant to show the viewer that Forest has some sort of mental disability.

Chip (CONT'D)

Sorry.

Aw hell naw!

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh

Eh hold up... Who the hell are you?

bensonchris - two years ago

The brawl begins with Remy getting a clean shot at Chip. Josh stumbles backward after being struck by Phil and Chad Sparta kicks him to the ground. Scotty charges at Mark. Ethan attacks Chip with a swing of his bat and Chip ducks the bat while Remy watches in excitement. When Chip rises from a crouch he uppercuts Ethan knocking the bat into a dark faded area and Remy who was watching punches Chip in the ribs. Scotty and Mark are wrestling on the ground while Forest gets tackled by John while attempting to escape. Josh is on his way up while taking body shots from Chad. Chip gets one punch in, but is wrestled to the ground by Ethan. Josh yells out "just RUN!" After his peripherals catch a glimpse of Forest falling to the ground frightened as hell. The first to get away is Chip whose story follows:

bensonchris - two years ago 10 versions.

Scene 3 Ext:Filmed at Martinez Waterfront and Quarter Pounder

bensonchris - two years ago

Chip wiggles out of the grasp of Remy and Ethan that then seem to turn their attention to one of the other four. Chip sprints about 20 feet and finds a huge tree where he hides and tries to catch his breath. However Remy sees Chip hide. Remy sneaks up on him, but on his way picks up an empty glass bottle that lies on the ground and tries to hit Chip with it, but instead he misses and hits just above Chip’s head making glass shards fall on Chip’s neck. The fight is on without a word spoken. Remy starts by punching Chip in his ribs twice and tries to hit Chip in the jaw, but Chip ducks and uppercuts Remy who then stumbles backward. Chip immediately capitalizes on Remy’s slip by throwing a haymaker to Remy’s temple. Chip then sprints a few blocks and ends up at a diner.

bensonchris - two years ago 6 versions.

He walks into a typical diner scene where the waitress with a coffee pot in hand gives Chip a blank look while filling up the two coffee cups of her only customers. The stare lasts a couple seconds and then Chip looks down and walks to the restroom to clean up.

bensonchris - two years ago 5 versions.

The camera shows Chip enter the restroom and look up towards the mirror. Once he wipes his face the camera flashes through the party, brawl and how he got to the diner. Chip then gets his phone out and calls Scotty.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Cut to Scotty's escape from the brawl:

Scene 4 Ext:Filmed at Martinez Waterfront

bensonchris - two years ago

Scotty breaks from the brawl frantically without looking back. He gets within 10 feet of his car and fumbles his keys onto the dark asphalt in front of him. He then looks back and to his surprise saw nothing but the dark street and you hear him let off a raspy gasp. He finds his keys and gets in and he goes through the same flashbacks as Chip, but instead they are from Scotty's perspective. As he starts the engine his phone rings; it's Chip

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Chip

Meet me at the Diner, dawg.

bensonchris - two years ago

Scotty

Alright bro; be there in a minute.

bensonchris - two years ago

Scene 5 Ext:Filmed at Martinez Waterfront

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh notices that Chip and Scotty got away, but drew three hoods away. He then tries to make a break for it. Phil and Chad follow close behind, but Josh outruns them. Remaining paranoid he hops a fence into a backyard where he is instantly greeted by a barking chained up dog and motion censored lights. The flashbacks begin with him looking into the light.

bensonchris - two years ago 6 versions.

Josh's phone rings; Chip is calling.

bensonchris - two years ago

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Remy

Gag and bag this homo.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Mark

You already know.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

The hoods gather within about 3 feet of Forest and Remy swings the bat high above his head and hits Forest, but not before he lets out a few frantic "no"s. Just before the bat hits Forest the camera cuts to black and you hear a loud squeal and then the knock of the bat.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Josh (CONT'D)

He's not answering. Did either of you see him leave? We need to go back...

bensonchris - two years ago 8 versions.

Chip

I didn't... Scotty did you?

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh

This is all my fault.. I shouldn't have brought him... Now he's gone.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Scotty

Yeah and we need to get gone before they find us here!

bensonchris - two years ago 4 versions.

Josh

Are you joking? That's my brother. If you guys need to go home then do that, but I'm gonna find my goddamn brother no matter what!

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Chip

Josh I understand, but chill. We don't need any more attention drawn to us. Scotty the least we could do is check the tracks and see if he's there.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Scotty

Alright, but if he isn't there we need to go home and get the cops out here.

bensonchris - two years ago

Chip

I agree... damn.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

The three get in the car and head towards the tracks. Skip to them pulling up from an outside angle.

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh is first out and obviously anxious to find anything pertaining to his brother's whereabouts. Chip also gets out and looks around, but Scotty stays in his car with the engine running and the headlights pointed to the tracks.

bensonchris - two years ago

The two search for about 15 seconds before the dialogue starts.

bensonchris - two years ago

Chip (CONT'D)

Josh.

bensonchris - two years ago

Chip found Forest's phone. Josh looks at it with a disappointed look on his face.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Chip

Wait if they wanted to rob us they wouldn't leave his phone behind.

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh

You're right, but what then?

bensonchris - two years ago

Chip

I don't know, but I think we should let the cops find out. We don't need to go around being heros, Josh. That's how people get killed.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Josh

Aiight.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

Scene 8 Ext: Filmed in Downtown Martinez

bensonchris - two years ago

They get back into the car and drive off. The car is silent and Josh who is in the back seat is sniffling.

bensonchris - two years ago

Scotty

Eh Josh, my bad man. I'm sure the police will find him.

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh doesn't reply and the sniffles get louder. Chip looks at Scotty and vice versa.

bensonchris - two years ago

As soon as Scotty looks back to the road (after his split second turn towards Chip) he is forced to slam on his breaks because he sees Forest in the road in just his underwear shaking.

bensonchris - two years ago

Josh jumps out of the car so fast he stumbles and bounces back to his feet. He wraps his arms around Forest.

bensonchris - two years ago 2 versions.

The camera turns to Scotty who has his hand over his mouth. He and Chip look at each other again and then Scotty sees a silhouette out of the passenger side window.

bensonchris - two years ago

The Seven hoods come out of the foresty surroundings from both sides of the car.

bensonchris - two years ago

Scotty (CONT'D)

Aw damn.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Phil

Get the hell out of the car.

bensonchris - two years ago 6 versions.

Scotty takes the keys out of the engine and starts to open up the door. Instead of opening it slowly he opens it quickly and hits Phil knocking the gun to the ground in front of the car where Forest grabs it. Meanwhile the sudden movement startles Mark who then pulls the trigger shooting Josh in the right shoulder.

bensonchris - two years ago 4 versions.

Forest quickly shoots Mark and Chip gets out and grabs his gun beating Hood 3 to the chase. During that time Forest shoots Remy, Hood 1, Hood 2 and Hoods 4 and 5. Forest then points the gun at Hood 3.

bensonchris - two years ago 3 versions.

Chip

Don't shoot him! I want him to remember this.

Scene 2 Ext:Filmed at Martinez Waterfront

Josh, Chip, Scotty and Forest leave the party after giving out more goodbyes. Scotty drove the four and was forced to park a mile or so away because so many people came to the party. Josh is somewhat drunk, but it is never said just obvious by actions. Josh claims to know a shortcut to Scotty’s car via walking down railroad tracks.

No one has started writing this scene.
