Well....I haven't been here in ages!!! Mainly because I am too lazy, but also because I have been writing a new script, a T.V Series. Imagine a mixture of The West Wing & Six Feet Under and you get it. Here is the script for Episode 1, i know many of you won't read it all the way through (There's 30 or so pages), but I'd appreciate feedback. Anyway, here it is- THE CLIENTS WRITTEN BY BOBBY COOK EPISODE 1 – “The New Kid-Part 1” FADE IN CLIMPSE OF CLIENT#1’s PAST INT. BLACK SCREEN A sound of a bell can be heard. CHRIS (O.S) – Sorry, this is a little blunt, but what makes you want to stay here? CLIENT#1 (O.S) – People don’t realise how epic their lives are CUT TO: INT. CLIENT#1’s APARTMENT - MORNING CLIENT#1 lies down on the floor in an empty, messed up Apartment. Daylight shines through the windows. He wakes up from the daylight shining in his eyes, looking up; he hurriedly makes his way to the windows, closing all the curtains. He is an elderly man, 62, and by the looks of his surroundings, he is not wealthy. CLIENT#1 (O.S) – After a while just going to the shops made me nervous. (PAUSE) I stay here because it’s where I am happiest. I know I can’t be touched or harmed by anything or anyone. CHRIS (O.S) – Your landlord said he hasn’t seen you come out of here in weeks. CLIENT#1 hears knocking on his door. LANDLORD – Hey! What the Hell you doing in there? CLIENT#1 (Nervously)- Wh...What do you want? LANDLORD – My money, where is it? CLIENT#1- I’ll just slide it under. On the table, in the corner of the room, there is a white envelope with the word, “JANUARY” written on the front. The client reaches for it, opens it and checks through all the money and then slides it under the door. The Shadow of the landlord can be seen bending down, taking the envelope. LANDLORD- Is it all there? CLIENT#1- Yes, it’s all for this month. LANDLORD- Humph. What are you doing in there anyway? Silence LANDLORD- Well? CLIENT#1- Nothing, I’m not doing anything. LANDLORD- Well...make sure you get out once in a while, you know? CHRIS (O.S) – I’m going to help you. CLIENT#1 (O.S) – Who says I need help? FADE OUT TO BLACK RUN INTRO. CREDITS FADE IN The word, JANUARY takes up the screen with a black background, the words in white. EXT. OUTSIDE – DAY CHRIS is in a phone booth, talking. CHRIS is American, 25 years old; he has pulled back black hair and wears glasses. The voice of SHELLY, his partner, blasts through the phone. SYLVIA- Chris, you’ll be fine. CHRIS- Yeah I know. I’m just nervous SYLVIA- I know CHRIS- I love you SYLVIA- I love you too. CHRIS smiles. CHRIS- I’ll call you after SYLVIA- Good luck CHRIS- Thanks SYLVIA- Bye. CHRIS- Bye. CHRIS puts down the phone on the hook. He walks out of the phone booth; he pulls out a map from his Business jacket. He looks round at his surroundings, then at the map. He pulls aside a stranger, a man. CHRIS- Excuse me, Hi, could you tell me put of your un measured wisdom, where the Therapist Centre is? MAN- You mean the psychology place? CHRIS- Yeah MAN- It’s right there The MAN points to a big building just by the side of them both. CHRIS looks. CHRIS- Ahh...Yeah. Sorry. (Beat) Sorry for wasting your time. The man walks away. MAN- (Under his breath) Damn Americans. CHRIS watches the man walk away. CHRIS- Okay. First mistake out of the way. Good CHRIS makes his way into the building. CUT TO: INT. DR. EDWARD THOMPSONS OFFICE – SECONDS LATER EDWARD sits in a very nicely furbished office with one of his clients, MRS. KEISHER he looks bored. EDWARD is 41 and there’s a quiet sarcastic wit to his nature, so quiet in fact that he gets away with it. MRS.KEISHER (Sobbing)- He was the centre of my life. He was there at home when I had a bad day work. ED- You’re retired now aren’t you? MRS.KEISHER- Yeah but he never had a bad word to say ED- Wait, Mrs. Keisher are you telling me your cat could talk? MRS.KEISHER looks at him, puzzled. MRS.KEISHER- No, what I mean is if I did have a bad day at work I would never get any hassle out of him ED- (Under his breath) Yeah I know how hassle feels MRS.KEISHER- What? ED- Nothing MRS.KEISHER- It’s just...it’s just She breaks into tears MRS.KEISHER- I’m sorry do you have a tissue? EDWARD gives her a box of tissues from his desk. She blows her nose violently EDWARD looks at her in disbelief. Then looks at his watch, reading 2:05pm. ED – I’m sorry Mrs. Keisher; we’re out of time. Have you booked up another appointment? MRS. K – Yes. It’s next Monday. EDWARD’S eyes roll. ED- Well that’s something we can look forward too. He stands up, helping her to her feet, making there way to the door. ED- Now, what I’d suggests Mrs. Keisher, is to berry your cat. MRS. K – Mr. Smitten ED- Sorry, Mr. Smitten, berry him and then mourn his death. That should get rid of the sadness in your system. I promise you’ll wake up one day feeling better but if it is absolutely necessary, come and see me next Monday. Okay? MRS. K- Yeah. Sorry to take up so much of your time again Dr. Thompson. ED – That’s what I’m here for, my Assistant will help you out of the building, see you soon Mrs. Keisher. MRS. K – Bye. EDWARD points to his ASSISTANT to help MRS.KEISHER. With her out of the room, EDWARD closes his door. ED – I have got to get a new job. He looks at his watch, now reading 2:10pm. CUT TO: INT. PSYCHOLOGY CENTRE LOBBY – SECONDS LATER The watch, still reading 2:10pm, now belongs to CHRIS. He has managed to find his way to the LOBBY, but now he is completely lost. The LOBBY has a big chandelier in the centre of the ceiling, it’s a busy place, people rush past each other, many of them students getting to lectures. CHRIS tries to ask passers by where he is supposed to be, but each time he gets ignored. He sees three people, in the corner of the hallway, talking to each other he goes to them. CHRIS – Excuse me? Silence, none of the men acknowledge his existence. CHRIS – Excuse me? Silence again. CHRIS – EXCUSE ME!! The entire LOBBY goes silent. DR. JOHN MONTAGUE turns his attention to CHRIS. JOHN is 52, neatly dressed, holding a leather briefcase. JOHN- What is it kid? The hallway bustles again. CHRIS- Could you tell me where the Interviews are being held? JOHN- Just follow that corridor (Pointing) down there and it’s the first door to your right. CHRIS- Thank you. JOHN- Don’t mention it, kid. Are you here for the interviews? CHRIS- Yeah JOHN puts out his hand JOHN- Dr. John Montague They shake hands CHRIS- Chris Hikern JOHN- Well, good luck Chris CHRIS- Thanks JOHN walks off. CHIRS makes his way down the corridor he has been directed to CUT TO: INT. CORRIDOR CHIRS looks at the door; on the front it has a “Waiting Room” sign attached. CHRIS opens it and walks in. CUT TO: INT. WAITING ROOM Inside there are four people already waiting, an elderly female Receptionist sits behind a desk by the door CHRIS just entered. There is a door the other side of the room; a sign hangs on it, reading “Interview In Progress – Silence” CHRIS makes his way over to the RECEPTIONIST. CHRIS- Hi. I’m here about... RECEPTIONIST- Could you keep your voice down?? Have you read the sign? There are interviews in going on in there!! (Whispering) Now what do you want? CHRIS- (Whispering) I’m here for the job interview RECEPTIONIST- (Pause) I could never have guessed. What’s your name, Hun? CHRIS- Christopher Hikern She looks down on a file. RECEPTIONIST- Mr. Hikern, Ah, yes, you have another ten minutes, please take a seat while you wait, would you like a cup of coffee? CHRIS- No thank you. (Looks round the room) are these the only people applying for the job? RECEPTIONIST- The morning interviewees have gone, the afternoon people will be here soon, this is a sought of in limbo time. CHIRS- Oh, okay. RECEPTIONIST- Are you sure there isn’t anything I can do for you? CHRIS- No, I’m fine. CHRIS looks round the room, he recognises someone sitting down reading a paper. Quickly he turns round to the RECEPTIONIST, making sure the man didn’t see him. CHRIS- Actually there is one thing I could use. RECEPTIONIST- Yeah? CHRIS- Your phone RECEPTIONIST- You’re going to have to take it outside. CHRIS- I can do that? RECPTIONIST- Yeah it’s one of those cordless ones. She gives the phone to CHRIS. CHRIS- Thanks. I won’t be long. The RECEPTIONIST nods her head and gets back to her work. CHRIS walks out of the room. FADE OUT CUT TO: GLIMPSE OF CLIENT#1’s PAST INT. LONG CORRIDOR CLIENT#1 pushes a rubbish trolley down a long, busy corridor, picking up pieces of paper, food packages, anything that’s not needed on the floor. He is wearing a tired, blue boiler suit. CLIENT#1(O.S)- Hello Mr. Hansel, you said you wanted to see me? MR.HANSEL (O.S)- Yes I did. Please sit down; I won’t take up too much of your time. CUT TO: INT. MR.HANSEL’S OFFICE CLIENT#1 sits down, MR.HANSEL, stands by the coffee machine. It’s a big room, well looked after, very clean. MR.HANSEL- Would you like some coffee, Tom? TOM (CLIENT#1)- No, thank you MR.HANSEL- Okay, let me tell you why you’re here. MR.HANSEL pours out some coffee, then sits on his desk facing TOM. TOM CLIENT#1)- Is it because I wasn’t here last month? I called, you see my wife died and… MR.HANSEL- That’s not the reason why you’re here. I heard about your wife and I am so sorry for your loss, that makes this a lot more difficult for me. TOM looks at him, nervous. TOM- What do you mean, sir? MR.HANSEL- Tom, you’re one of the best cleaners we’ve ever had here, but I have been forced to makes some cut backs this month and- TOM: I’m one of them. MR. HANSEL- Yeah, I’m sorry Tom. You can work out the rest of the week; there will be an added bonus to your pay. TOM: Thank you, sir. TOM puts his head into his hands, trying to hide his upset. MR.HANSEL- I hate to do this to you. You’ve been here for so long, you’re so loyal and hard working. How long has it been? TOM- 25 Years. MR.HANSEL- I really do hate this. TOM- Don’t worry about me, sir. MR.HANSEL- You were going to retire next year, anyway weren’t you? TOM: That was the plan before Margaret died. Words are still spoken between the two, but they are faded out. CHRIS (O.S)- Are you angry at him? TOM (O.S)- Yes, it was my job. The only thing I thought that would keep my life together after Marge. CHRIS (O.S)- You wanted revenge? TOM (O.S)- No, I was just angry. CHRIS (O.S)- That’s why you trashed the corridor? TOM (O.S)- Yeah, I guess so FADE OUT CUT TO: INT. CORRIDOR – PRESENT DAY CHRIS is on the RECEPTIONIST’S phone SYLVIA- What’s the matter? CHRIS- Somebody I know is going for the interview too. SYLVIA- Oh. CHRIS- Yeah. SYLVIA- What’s the problem? CHRIS- He got a higher mark than me in the Abnormality Project SYLVIA- Chris that was four years ago. CHRIS- Yeah, but it was six marks, Sylvia CUT TO: EXT. SYLVIA & CHRIS’ HOUSE SYLVIA is in a pink dressing gown, drying her hair, in the kitchen, talking on her phone. SYLVIA is around CHRIS’ age; she has long black hair and a tanned skin colour. She has an Italian/American accent. SYLVIA- Do you really think there going to be bothered about a test four years ago? CHRIS- It wasn’t a test it was a project SYLVIA- Whatever!! It’s not going to matter!! PAUSE CHRIS- I have more bad news. SILVIA sighs, puts down the towel she was drying her hair with on the kitchen side SYLVIA- Which is? CHRIS- All the other people I have seen here are quite...old. SYLVIA- And? CHRIS- Well...I don’t want this to be like Rocky 5 where the young lion get out classed and beat by the old lion, or in this case lions and... SYLVIA- Chris? Rocky 5? CHRIS- ...They won’t treat me with any respect, I mean one guy called me “Kid’ today, I mean is this what the British are like? PAUSE SYLVIA- Chris if I tell you something that will help, do you promise that you’ll go back in? CHRIS- Okay. SYLVIA- You said there was another guy in there you knew. CHRIS- Yeah. SILVIA- Well that means it’s not just you’re not the only young lion facing the old lions. LONG PAUSE CUT TO: INT. CORRIDOR CHRIS- Yeah that’s not really helpful. (Beat) It doesn’t matter if the young lions out number there old, there still not gonna take us seriously, they have experience, they know the ins and outs of everything to do with Psychology, Hell some of them probably even helped develop it...you put the phone down didn’t you? I’m not actually talking to anyone right now am I? Fine. CHRIS goes inside the Waiting Room again. CUT TO: INT. WAITING ROOM CHRIS gives back the phone the RECEPTIONIST, CHRIS- She hung up. The RECEPTIONIST looks unmoved CHRIS- I’ll just take a seat. He looks round the room; the man he recognised is no longer there. FADE OUT CUT TO: INT. WAITING ROOM – MINUTES LATER CHRIS is sitting down, flicking through a magazine he has no interest in. The Interview Room door opens. The man CHRIS recognised walks out, closing the door behind him. CHRIS hides his face with the magazine. The RECEPTIONIST walks out from behind her desk, into the Interview room. After a few seconds she walks back out, she walks over to CHRIS. RECEPTIONIST- Chris there ready for you now CHRIS- Oh, thank you. CHRIS stumbles to his feet, making his way to the door, which is slightly open, he knocks on the door, FEMALE VOICE- Come in, Mr. Hikern. CHRIS opens the door to see three people sitting down behind a long desk. On the far right sits DR.EDWARD THOMPSON, to his right, DR. GLORIA WEBSTER, she has brown hair, wearing a business suit and has a VERY posh British accent, sitting next to her, someone CHRIS recognises, DR. JOHN MONTAGUE. CHRIS (Whispering to himself)- Oh no. JOHN- So you found the place okay then, Chris? CHRIS- Yes sir! I really didn’t mean to shout at you before, I really do apologise... JOHN- (Laughs a little) No, it’s fine. It’s a pretty hectic place around here. CHRIS- All the same, Sir, I am sorry. CHRIS goes round to each person, shaking his or her hands. GLORIA- Sit down, Chris, did Sarah offer you a drink? CHRIS- Sarah? GLORIA- Our receptionist. CHRIS- Oh yes! She did, and no I’m fine thank you. EDWARD- You’re from America? CHRIS- I am. ED (quietly)- Well that’s just great. CHRIS- What? EDWARD smiles JOHN- Ed, shut up CUT TO: INT. KEVINS OFFICE – SAME TIME KEVIN is scurrying around looking for something, difficult because his Office is very untidy. He keeps talking to himself. He looks like he hasn’t slept in days, or changed clothes for that matter. He is holding a plastic cup in his mouth. KEVIN- (Speaking Through Cup) I know I left it...somewhere…this always happens to me, no one else just me- Watching his in-coherent rambles is STACY; she is standing by his door. She is American, very good looking. Her voice sounds clogged up STACY- What are you doing? KEVIN- (Still Speaking Through Cup) Nothing. KEVIN still looks round STACY- You’ve lost it again, haven’t you? He stops what he is doing. KEVIN- I have not (Takes out plastic cup from his mouth) I have NOT lost it again. STACY- Then where is it? KEVIN- It’s in my desk. STACY- And where would that be? KEVIN points to a desk by the side of the room, covered in files, plastic coffee cups, screwed up paper and overflowing file trays. STACY- That’s a desk? KEVIN- Yeah. STACY- It doesn’t look like a desk KEVIN- Stacy, did you come in here for a reason? STACY- Yeah, just to remind you that you have a client at three thirty followed by a meeting at four thirty… KEVIN- Who’s the meeting with? STACY- Kevin!! KEVIN- What? STACY- You’re supposed to show your findings on Subculture to Edward and John!! KEVIN- And where are my findings on Subculture? STACY- They’re in your desk, apparently KEVIN- Yes!! They’re in my desk...yes. KEVIN still rummages around. Silence. KEVIN- Anyway, what’s with your voice? STACY- What do you mean what’s with my voice? KEVIN- It sounds a little, hoarse. STACY- I’ve got a cold. KEVIN- Ah. PAUSE STACY- Maybe a little bit of compassion? KEVIN- Maybe STACY walks over to the desk and looks through all the draws without KEVIN noticing. She stops and slams the last draw in. KEVIN- What did you do that for? STACY- You’ve lost the file, haven’t you? KEVIN- No- STACY gives him a teacher like stare, he sees that she has been through the desk KEVIN (Cont’d)- Yes. STACY- So you lied? KEVIN- Yes. STACY- You can go to Hell for that, Kevin. KEVIN- Stacy!! He looks at her, still giving him that teacher stare. KEVIN- Could you help me find it please? STACY sighs to herself; she then walks out the room. KEVIN- Stacy? Stacy, please help me?! KEVIN gets up and pokes his head out of his Office to see STACY standing there with a file. KEVIN- You had my file? STACY- Yep. KEVIN- So you where just stringing me along in there? STACY- Yep. KEVIN- I’ve been meaning to fire you. STACY- You’re going to Hell. She walks off, giving the file to him. KEVIN goes back into his office, closing the door behind him. FADE OUT CUT TO: INT. INTERVIEW ROOM – THIRTY MINUTES LATER CHRIS is looking up tight; the interview is not going well. He is seated on a leather-clad chair. EDWARD taps his fingers on the table, looking around the room. GLORIA is looking in some files, as is JOHN. GLORIA- It says here you have just past a Masters PHD in Psychology. CHRIS- Well I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. (Laughs to himself) GLORIA- Yes...indeed. JOHN- Oh, it also says that you went to the same University as the person that came in here. Quickly, EDWARD looks in his file. CHRIS- Yeah, I didn’t know him very well, we where in the same Criminology & Psychology class, though. ED- He got a higher mark than you in the Abnormality Project. CHRIS- I know. ED- That isn’t something you like to talk about, then? CHRIS- Not particularly...it was four years ago. ED- Six marks more. JOHN- Ed!! So, Chris CHRIS- Yeah? JOHN- What makes you want to work here? CHRIS- Well, I suppose you must be sick to death of the people you get in here saying, “I like people”, and, yeah, I do, but Psychology is more than that, it bonds people together and splits them apart. Arguments between young and old research, finding out the mysteries of life where Science has failed and Religion refuses. But most importantly it establishes a heart felt communication that cannot be un-done, between yourself and your client. For once ED looks impressed, as do JOHN and GLORIA. GLORIA- Thank you, Chris. She stands up and shakes CHRIS’ hand. GLORIA- We will get back to you next week. CHRIS- Thank you. CHRIS shakes everybody’s hand and leaves the room. CUT TO: EXT. WAITING ROOM CHRIS makes his way to leave the room. RECEPTIONIST- How did it go, Chris? CHRIS- I think I screwed it up at the end. He leaves the room. FADE OUT CUT TO: INT. SYLVIA & CHRIS’S HOUSE—KITCHEN—SAME DAY SYLVIA is checking something in the oven. The door slams as CHRIS enters the house, then into the scene. SYLVIA- Hi honey, how did it go? CHRIS puts his brief case on the Kitchen side. CHRIS- Not too bad. SYLVIA- That’s all? CHRIS- Yeah. SYLVIA- What happened? CHRIS- Nothing happened, why do you think something happened? It was Okay!! SYLVIA- Chris, you have been aiming for this job for months, it’s all you could talk about, I have been working myself into a frenzy thinking about it and now you come home and say it was “Okay”? CHRIS- Sorry. CHRIS goes over to her, they kiss, and they hold one another. CHRIS- Everything went okay, there was this one guy that hardly said anything unless it was to embarrass or humiliate me and I said something stupid at the end, but apart from that it was smooth sailing. SYLVIA- Smooth sailing? CHRIS- Yeah. SYLVIA- When will they let you know? CHRIS moves into the LIVING ROOM and sits down on a couch. SYLVIA puts something else into the oven. CHRIS- Next week. SYVLIA- They’ll call? CHRIS- I don’t know, I think they’ll post. SYLVIA- Oh okay. SYLVIA closes the oven door and walks into the LIVING ROOM. INT. LIVING ROOM SYLVIA sits down on the couch next to CHRIS, they hug each other. CHRIS- What’s that cooking? SYLVIA- Lasagne. CHRIS smiles. CHRIS- My favourite. FADE OUT CUT TO: INT. HIGHWAY - - MORNING CHRIS and SYLVIA are driving up a quiet highway, listening to JEFF BUCKLEY – THE LAST GOODBYE on the stereo. They are holding hands. The car is a roofless sports car. SYLVIA – It’s quiet. CHRIS- Yeah. The CAMERA sees them drive off, the sun glistens on the road, and no other cars are there. CHRIS looks at the countryside, SYLVIA pushes away some of her black, curly hair away from her face. CHRIS looks back to the road again; he can see something in the distance. It is an old oak tree right in the middle of the road where CHRIS and SYLVIA are driving. CHRIS tries to break, but they don’t work, he takes his foot away from ignition, but they car stays at the same speed. He turns to SYLVIA. CHRIS- Sylvia? She has no worry on her face, as if nothing is wrong. She laughs and hugs CHRIS. He looks down at her in confusion. He looks up and sees the oak tree, up close. They are about to hit it; the car makes a loud SCREECH!!… The screen pauses and a flash of a white light fills the screen. CUT TO: INT. LIVING ROOM—AS BEFORE CHRIS and SYLVIA are still hugging each other; SYLVIA is looking through a magazine. SYLVIA- There’s that movie on tonight, the one with, oh what’s his name (thinking) the one from...Chris? There is no response from CHRIS he looks shocked, his breathing becomes quicker. SYLVIA looks up to him. SYLVIA- Chris? He snaps out of it. CHRIS- I’m going for a shower. CHRIS gets up quickly and rushes out of the room. SYLVIA- Chris what’s the matter? We hear the sound of CHRIS walking up the stairs. SYLVIA sighs. EXT. INTERVIEW ROOM- - NIGHT EDWARD, JOHN and GLORIA are sitting round the table; a tray with coffee and muffins sits in the middle. EDWARD lights a CIGAR. JOHN- That girl seemed quite impressive. ED- She was 42. JOHN- Yeah? ED- Well then please don’t call her a ‘girl’. JOHN- Okay the woman seemed quite impressive. GLORIA- I don’t know, she has a previous account of speeding. JOHN- That was years ago. GLORIA- Yeah but if it’s advertised in the paper that we have a therapist working here that has been convicted of speeding it doesn’t matter if it happened last Century there’s still gonna penalize her and this place for it. JOHN looks through the file. In his POV we see photos paper clipped to files. Behind one of the papers is a slightly covered photo of CHRIS JOHN- All right then, who? ED- I liked Daniel Davis GLORIA- Nathaniel Davis ED- Yeah, him JOHN- He is perfect, but did you hear his accent? ED- So you’re prejudice against Cornish folk now? JOHN- No I’m not prejudice against the Cornish folk, but I think that it would be to our advantage if our clients could UNDERSTAND WHAT HE’S SAYING. ED takes a puff from his cigar and takes a muffin. GLORIA- Are we going to be able to agree on someone tonight? ED- Yes. JOHN- Yes. GLORIA- Good. What about the two kids? ED- GLORIA!! GLORIA- What? ED- They’re barely out of they’re pyjama’s- JOHN- You’re prejudice against young people now? ED- ...Shut up GLORIA- There the most qualified out of the applicants. JOHN- Yeah, plus I liked- ED- Oh don’t tell me you liked that little speech at the end there with that Colin, guy? JOHN- First, his name was Chris and I thought it was a perfectly good aspect of what he thinks this job means. GLORIA- The other kid had a good answer too. JOHN- They where both very good GLORIA & JOHN both look at ED. ED- What? JOHN- Well what do you think? ED- Does it matter what I think? JOHN & GLORIA- No. ED- Then I suppose I’m not going to sway the decision JOHN smiles. JOHN- So which one? GLORIA- Well I think we should give it to… CUT TO: CLIENT#1’S PAST INT. OUTSIDE TOM’S OLD HOUSE TOM watches the removal men take out boxes from his house and loading it on to a lorry. He puts on his hat. INT. TOM’S APARTMENT TOM enters a small, filthy apartment boxes are everywhere. He puts his hat on an old hat stand. One of the re-movers comes into the room he is young. RE-MOVER- That’s all Mr. Dalloway. TOM- Thank you. I’m sorry, I have no change to tip you with. RE-MOVER- That’s okay Sir. The RE-MOVER shuts the door on his way out, leaving TOM in there alone. He takes out an envelope from his jacket pocket. He goes to a small table in the corner of the room, where a pen is lying there. He writes “January”. FADE OUT NEXT WEEK INT. INSIDE CAR - - NIGHT KEVIN is in the driving seat, the radio blares out the latest news. His mobile phone rings, he turns down the radio and presses the button on the phone. KEVIN- Yeah? KEVIN (Cont’d)- I’m just going home. (Pause) Who did you pick? (Pause) When do I meet him? (Pause) He doesn’t know yet. (Pause) Who’s going to tell him? He pulls up his car in a space by a street with Apartments on. KEVIN (Cont’d)- I’ve got to tell him? (Pause) Why Me? (Pause) Yeah okay. Oh what is his number? KEVIN takes out a pen from the car compartment along with a notepad and writes the number down. KEVIN (Cont’d)- I’ll phone him now. CUT TO: INT. CHRIS & SHELLY’S BEDROOM- - SAME NIGHT CHRIS & SHELLY are lying in bed, asleep. The phone rings. CHRIS rolls to the table by his side of the bed. He picks up the phone. CHRIS- Hello? CHRIS takes away the phone from his ear, a loud, screeching noise, like a car trying to break, can be heard. A flash of CHRIS & SYLVIA crashing into that Oak tree can be seen. The sound of screeching tires stops and a voice stands in its place. KEVIN- Hello? Hello? CHRIS snaps out of it. CHRIS- Who is this? KEVIN- I’m Dr. Kevin Nicholas. CHRIS shoots up SYLVIA wakes up. KEVIN (cont’d)- This is Dr. Chris Hikern? CHRIS- Yes, this is he. KEVIN- Last week you came in for an interview for a placement as a therapist. CHRIS- Yes I did. KEVIN- Well after lots of debating, of which I wasn’t included I might add, we have come to the decision that- CHRIS- YES? KEVIN- We have come to the decision that you are the person to fill that ‘slot’, as it where. CHRIS goes quiet. SYLVIA gets up, she mouths the word ‘What?’ to CHRIS, who just shakes his head. KEVIN- Are you still there? Hello? CHRIS- Yes, Sir I am. KEVIN- Do you accept? CHRIS- Yes I do. KEVIN- Good. You start on Monday of next week and you go directly to me. CHRIS- How do I get to you?

CHRIS puts the phone down he turns to SYLVIA. SYLVIA- Was that them? CHRIS- Yeah. SYLVIA looks at the clock on her bedside table SYLVIA- At four o’clock in the morning? CHRIS- Yeah. SYLVIA- What did they say? CHRIS- I got it. SYLVIA- You got it? SYLVIA screams in joy and wraps her arms around CHRIS, they kiss. Another flash of the car smashing into the oak tree CHRIS breaks from SYLVIA, he stands up, making his way to the BATHROOM. SYLVIA- Chris? Chris what’s with you tonight? EXT- BATHROOM CHRIS washes his face with the running tap water. He looks at himself in the mirror. SYLVIA enters. SYLVIA- You’re seeing it again, aren’t you? CUT TO: MONDAY INT. CORRIDOR NEAR KEVIN’S OFFICE—MORNING The RECEPTIONIST CHRIS met in the WAITING ROOM is guiding him round in the corridors. RECEPTIONIST- And his Office is the second door on your left, dear. CHRIS- Thanks She smiles and walks back the way she came. CHRIS makes his way to the office he has been sent to. The door is closed; it has a sign attached reading, “Dr. Nicholas” CHRIS knocks on the door but there is no reply. He knocks again and still there is no reply. STACY walks past him. STACY- Hey, you’re the new guy aren’t you? CHRIS- Yeah. STACY- Hi, I’m Stacy. They shake hands. CHRIS- Chris Hikern. You’re American? STACY- Yeah! Which part do you come from? CHRIS- New England STACY- Oh, I’m from Seattle, but I moved here two years ago. Are you waiting to go in? CHRIS nods his head. STACY- He’s so damn lazy. STACY opens the office door. EXT. KEVIN’S OFFICE KEVIN has his head in a bowl of steaming water with a towel over the back of his head. STACY- Kevin? KEVIN? KEVIN shoots his head up, soaked. KEVIN- Wh…What?

Lord Of The Rings - The Return Of The King. There is one simple fact that goes toe-to-toe with Return Of The King, it is simply the greatest film of any time ever. The sheer quantity of art, which gave the first two films it's edge in the first place, out does itself in this final installment. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli join in the ultimate battle to decide who claims Middle Earth - the Orcs or the Humans. Frodo, Sam & Gollum continue there journey to destroy the one ring & surprise, surprise there are troubles along the way. Gandalf claims his role as War Captian, Merry & Pippin turn into Warriors and there is no sign of Saramaun...we'll have to wait for the extended cut for that. I have to admit, I am not the hugest fan of the Lord Of Rings, in parts in can be quite exciting (Helms Deep) and in others it drags on too long (Everything leading upto Helms Deep). When I saw FOTR and TTT in the cinema I grew very bored after the first hour and the yawns kicked in. So imagine my surprise when after 2 1/2 hours I was begging for more & more & more. In every scene there is something to be excitied about - even if your not concentrating on what Peter Jackson is telling you to concentrate on. Aragorn, being the best of the actors in the previous films, steps up for another brilliant performance, while Legolas adds the "cool" element and Gimili provides comic relief. The real stars though are Elijah Wood (Frodo) and Andy Serkis (Gollum). To be honest I didn't like Elijah Wood in FOTR & TTT, I found him wooden, boring to watch and you were unable to make a connection with, but in ROTK he totally out does his self. He is moving, easy to watch and sometimes is very harrowing. The scene when he is climbing Mount Doom is the best he has acted in his career so far. Peter Jackson was troubled with the chracter of Gollum. He didn't know whether he wanted a CGI chracter or a human, so instead of choosing, he grabbed the best out of the two worlds. Andy Serkis is truely, truely stunning as Gollum, he not only deserves a Oscar nomination, but the Oscar itself. Serkis makes the audience pitty and 'feel' for Gollum, whilst at the same time frighten and confuse them. The particular scene where he shines the most is at the very beginnig, the change of Smeagol to Gollum. This was my favourite scene out of the whole of ROTK, simply because you can now understand the character of Gollum and at the same time being absoltley terrified. I WANT MORE OF THIS SCENE ON THE EXTENDED CUT!! This is also where Sam shines as well. He is fantastic as Frodo's protector and he too deserves an oscar nomination for his part. He is particularly brilliant in the fight of that big spider (I forget the name of it). He truely shows what friendship really means. And the battles are quite good, too. Not only is the final battle the best of all time, but it be-littles the Helms Deep fight, everything from Braveheart, makes The Matrix seem like two ill-educated students fighting in the school playground and Star Wars like two five year olds playing with the space ship toys. Nothing from the Battles is at all boring. The collision of the humans and the Orcs is amazing and the rising of the 'Olephants' (which are 100ft Elephants) is probably the most stunning event, battle scene wise, in cinema history. Ian McKellan obviously relishes this part of the film, and it shows. This battle does not simply wrap up just the Return Of The King, but the entire trilogy - and it does it in the biggest epic style availible. The uncaring eye could say the ending is too long. I couldn't disagree more - without the ending you could never truely understand the iscolation of Frodo and you have to remember that Peter Jackson had to wrap up every chracters story. Also, some may complaing the abscense of Christopher Lee, I have to say I didn't miss him at all, but like I said before he will be in the Extended cut. Peter Jackson can now sit comfortably among the greatest Directors of all time, with the likes of Speilberg, Kubrick and Burton. Words cannot describe the art that went into this film - you'll have to see it for yourself. When questioned about the up coming film Terminator 2, whether or not it would be better than the previous and whether he would tone down the sequel so he would not have to better the first, Director James Cameron simply replied, "Less is not more, more is more". And that is what Peter Jackson has done - but timezed it by infinite. My Score? 10/10 - Not only the best film ever made, but finishes the greatest of all trilogies, beating Star Wars, The Godfather and The Matrix into a pulp. ROTK takes every other film in history, throws them on the floor and beats them with Gandalfs staff.

I should think ROTK should clean up, but then again I have been wrong before, LOTR has been ignored in the past, it should get Best Film and Special Effects, though.

Here is my review- The Fifth Element welcomes you to the world 2314, a world where air transport has re-placed road transport and Aliens walk the planet freely. But the world is doomed by evil, which can only be destroyed by Four stones gathering round The Fifth Element in an Egyption Temple to make the ultimate weapon against evil. But there is one problem, where are the stones? This film delighted me as a Sci-Fi fan, for the next six years or so every Sci-Fi will copy or have the same feel as the Matrix, The Fifth Element, though, was made before and has that fun, over the top element that amazes you and keeps you firmly gripped to your seat. Director Luc Besson (who also made Leon) has been wordly renowned to be very arty with his films and he totally out does his self in this film. The floating car chases are amazing to watch, which is all down to Bessons faultless Direction. The main star Bruce Willis plays his usual John McLane from the Die Hard movies, but this time in space. If you want two main reasons to watch this movie let it be Milla Jolkovich's and Gary Oldmans stunning performances. After seeing Resident Evil earlier this year I didn't expect much from Jolkovich. Can I just say that she is spectacular in this role, if people had made better use of her talents like Besson has then she would have won an oscar by now. Jolkovich's character 'The Fifth Element' is the most interesting out of everyone else and it seems she was effortlessly portrayed. She has depth and excellent characterisation and you genuinley do care what happens to this character. Bruce Willis obviously works well with her otherwise the love story could have never have been pulled off so well. Gary Oldman is one of the best actors in the world and has been used by Besson in his previous film 'Leon'. In The Fifth Element he plays a crazed psychopath called 'Zorg' who is content on destroying the world. Oldman is a joy to watch, it is obvious that he had fun playing the character, he is both funny and absolutley terrifying. Infact I am willing to say his performance is near genius. That is not to say that this film is perfect. The special effects of the Alien's and there spacecrafts look like something pulled out of a Power Rangers episode. The evil Aliens don't really look all that evil. But this is forgivable. Chris Tucker's performance on the other hand is not. He is both annoying and unbearable to watch. He plays an overly camp Radio DJ, but that is not the annoying part. It's his voice, it is so high pitched that even my dog was wincing. Whilst he may be funny & interesting for his first couple of scenes he grows aggravating and boring very quickly. This film does not make best of his talents. But on the other hand, the script (Co. Written by Besson) is obviously written by a Sci-Fi fan, but must have been so well done, as Bessons Direction is effortlessly done. While it may be over the top and silly, this enchances the viewing. It was harshly under valued by the critics, probably because the way they define Sci-Fi by the film Star Wars, which is not how it should be done at all. The bottom line is The Fifth Element is a simple, predictable storyline told in a exciting, imaginitive way and will be enjoyed by almost everyone. My Score? 8.5/10 - In My Top Ten Favourite Sci-Fi Films Of All Time & I Can't Wait To Get The DVD.

I saw The Fifth Element for the first time last night and I really, really enjoyed it, it's my kind of film. I will post a review of it in a minute ot two, but what did you think of it?
