Script
Beginning
(Establishing a developer’s character)
Steve: (typing on a computer, sipping a cup of coffee)
Mark: (barges in the room with a crumpled face)
Steve: Oh, Hey Mark! You’re late today huh. You’re acting lazy for days. Seem to have a good sleep. I
wish I could too.
Mark: No, I just have other things to do.
Steve: And what exactly is that? We’re friends since we’re in prep bud. You know you can count on me.
Mark: uhmm it’s nothing. Forget about it.
Steve: okay. If you really don’t want to talk about it. By the way, I am actually working on now to test
this robot prototypes for the start-up competition. I really hope it works now coz I’ll be already crazy of
we fail this for the 30th time. I’m already frustra…
(Talking while typing, look at Mark)
Mark: (frozen, not listening, seems like floating)
Steve: (looks at Mark and notices that he isn’t listening, waves at his face to gain his attention)
Hello, are you listening?
Mark: Yeah, where are we again?
Steve: I said we are prepared for the next test of our robot doctor prototypes. We are to look if their
Artificial intelligence is fully operational. What do you think?
Mark: well, that’s cool.
Steve: That’s it? Cool is the only thing you would say? Come on, Mark! I need you’re presence here. It
seems like you’re mind is floating in other dimension. If you continue like that, we will not be able to
finish this project.
Mark: I’m sorry. Im just thinking something else.
Steve: then, what is it? You know you can tell me anything. I might help you sort that out.
Mark: No, it’s none of your business.
Steve: What? None of my business? It’s literally my business coz what’s affect you may also affect me
and this project.
Mark: no, you don’t understand. Stop being so nosy.
Steve: And I am nosy now. I’m just trying to help. What the hell?
Mark: okay, you wanna know the truth? I think it will really help if we already end this nonsense project!
I want to quit!
Steve: Wait, quuit? (removing his glasses)
How could you say this project a nonsense? We’ve been building this project for 7 years. We’ve both
sacrificed many things for this. For our dream to become a famous developer. Now youre throwing it all
up like a piece of paper. How could you say that so easily?
Mark: listen, it’s not easy for me. Im just losing my hopes up.
Steve: you say you’re losing your hopes? Really this time, when we are one step closer to enter the
biggest start up in the world? We need to prove ourselves, Mark.
Mark: sorry, I really don’t wanna this anymore. We’re wasting our time for an impossible dream.
Steve: this is not an impossible dream. We can make it. Just believe in me, in what we’ve got.
Mark: I’m sorry, Steve. I really do.
Steve: okay, if that’s really your choice then leave. I guess you’re not really destined and worth this
success.
Mark: (leaves)
Steve: (sits and acts frustrated)
(An incoming call)
Steve: (picks up the call)
Hello, Steve Job speaking.
Someone: (congratulating them for passing the start-up)
Steve: What? Can you pls repeat what you said?
Someone: (repeats)
Steve: what? Is this true? We are really in to the Preliminary of the Start-Up?? Thank you! Thank you!
(Shouts Marks name as getting out of the room)
Ends.
