CHAPTER ONE - PAY UP

1A. EXT ALLEY WAY. NIGHT

The alley is wide with a quiet street sitting beoynd it.
DAVE, an ex military mid 20 year old is leant on the left
wall of the alley panting heavily. He has just come running
out of a local club away from MR JONES and his GOONS. The
disruption was a result of DAVE failing to reimburse MR
JONES of a loan made. The loan was needed by DAVE as he
struggled to adjust back to society after fighting abroad.
His distress is tracended by jump cuts as he counts the
little money he has before sitting down with his head leant
back onto the wall. A close up of DAVE shows him doze off
in a haze. The sound of guns and explosions simmers in at
the same time.
MATCH CUT TO:

1.2. EXT. ALLEY WAY. EARLY MORNING

The image is match cut with DAVE awakening to quck slaps in
the face from one of the GOONS. MR JONES stands behind as
DAVE comes around
GOON
Wakey wakey David.
DAVE comes around and MR JONES steps forth and crouches
down. MR JONES takes his suglasses off, looks around, back
to DAVE and shakes his head.
MR JONES
(Tuts 3 times) Dave, Dave, Dave.
You wanna tell me whats going on?
Still in a haze, DAVE's eyes move down from MR JONES to the
floor. He dosn't say anything. MR JONES awaits a reply,
nods and puts his sunglasses back on. He steps back while
the GOONS step forth. GOON 1 punches DAVE in the face.
MR JONES
You see David, when a man of my
position,
A second pucnh is made to DAVE's stomach.
MR JONES
...makes deals, in favour of my
associates,
A third punch is made to DAVE'S face.

MR JONES

I don't expect them to be broken.

DAVE lays beaten, disorianated and helpless.
MR JONES
You weren't even drinking in y
club for fucks sake!
MR JONES walks back over and neal infornt of DAVE. DAVE's
consiuosness is playing with him. MR JONES grabs DAVE by
the face to get his attention.
MR JONES
We are not done David. (shouting)
Carry on lootin, carry on
providing. Pay back what you owe!
MR JONES shoves DAVE by his face and gets up. MR JONES and
the GOONS walk back down the alley to exit right.
MR JONES
(As he walks away) And who knows,
maybe you'll carry on living.
(laughs as he walks off)

DAVE sits in pain trying to process what just happened.

FADE OUT.
CHAPTER TWO - LOOT IT

2. INT. CORNER STORE. NIGHT

The corner shop scene will be a long take that begins the
montage that is DAVE's robbing spree. The scene opens with
the camera on DAVE's feet as he enters the shop. He steps
forward (camera tracks back) to the till and the to bring
the CASHIER into focus.
CASHIER

DAVE

CHAPTER THREE - EMILY AND DAVE

3. EXT. TOWN CENTRE - MIDDAY

DAVE walks amoungst a crowded town centre. He is the point
of focus and is centred amoungst the crowd. DAVE feels both
shamed and pleased about his successful loot as his
previous actions are invisble to the public around him.
CUT TO:
DAVE walks along a path from the left and enters a cafe.
CUT TO:
INT. EMILY'S CAFE - MIDDAY
DAVB sits in the cafe reading a news paper. He comes to the
cafe often however it has recemtly undergone a rennovation,
so it is the first time he has been in a while. He is
waiting for his coffee. After serveral silent images of
DAVE , EMILY approaches with DAVE's coffee.
EMILY

DAVE
Yeah thanks.
DAVE contniues to stare at the newspaper. EMILY places the
coffee down and notices the article in the paper regarding
robberies around town.
EMILY
Crazy about all those robberies
'ey?
DAVE rapidly shuts the paper and looks up at EMILY.
EMILY
The girls reckon it's one guy but
I said they'd of caught him by
now.
DAVE takes a moment to reply as EMILY meets his eye.
DAVE
Yeah, well, I mean, it can't be
just one guy, I read the robberies
were quite spread apart.
EMILY
Exactly! Imagine if it was one guy
though, I bet he'd be loaded. What
do you do?
DAVE
Uh-
EMILY
Sorry that was so rude! I havent
asked your name. I'm Emily.
DAVE grins at EMILY and chuckles slightly
DAVE
I'm Dave, I haven't seen you
before Emily, and place looks
pretty differnent.
EMILY
Yeah they shut for a while, new
management.
DAVE
Yeah I wondered why i didn't
regonise the lady at the counter.
EMILY
Oh so you knew the owner George?

DAVE
I knew him as much as a regular
would.
EMILY
Well the girls said -
EMILY looks over her shoulder around the empty section of
the cafe DAVE is sat in. She crouchs over and sits in the
chair opposite DAVE.
EMILY
The girls said he his wife left
and he went a bit crazy, couldn't
look after the place any more. Hey
maybe he's one on that robbing
spree ha!
DAVE chuckles with EMILY
DAVE
Aha. I don't think George is quite
capable of that.
EMILY's giggle dies out before DAVE
EMILY
Anyway what did you say you do?
DAVE's chuckle drains out as he processes EMILY's question.
FADE OUT
CHAPTER 4 - NOT THE CAFE!

4. INT. MR JONES OFFICE. DAY

DAVE strolls into the office with a large black holdel over
his shoulder, he throws it onto MR JONE'S desk.
MR JONES
See Dave, it's not that hard...
for me anyway!
MR JONES bursts out in laughter while DAVE stares at him
blankly.
MR JONES
Can I get you a drink Dave?
DAVE shakes his head.
MR JONES
Suit yourself.

MR JONES turns around to pour himself a drink.
MR JONES
You see Dave, that's what I like
about you. Straight to the point.
It's almost like you love what you
do.
MR JONES turns to face DAVE.
MR JONES
Do you like what you do Dave?
MR JONES smirks at DAVE who sits staring at the desk.
MR JONES
Anyway, (throws folder onto desk)
theres your next hit. Small place
low staff count easy target.
Address is in there -
MR JONES notices DAVE is not paying attention.
MR JONES
Hey, hey-
MR JONES clicks in DAVE'S face.
MR JONES
You know something Dave, I really
find it diffilcult trying to
comprehend whether anything
actually goes on inside that head
of yours. So I'm going to make
this very clear to you. If that
bag ain't full by Thursday, well
lets put it this way... we won't
be putting money in the bag.
MR JONES stares into Dave who stills stares at the desk.
After an intense pause, MR JONES slaps the desk.
MR JONES
Do I make myself clear?
DAVE
Cystal Mr Jones
MR JONES
Ha. Crystal. Run along, Dave.

CHAPTER 5 - THE CAFE

5. INT. EMILY'S CAFE

DAVE steps into the cafe hoping EMILY isn't working, he
walks to the counter where EMILY is stood facing the other
way. DAVE has his hand in his pocket cluching his pistol.
EMILY turns round and DAVD quickly removes his empt hand
from the pocket.
EMILY
(smiling) Hiya
DAVE
Hello, (Smiles back)can I-
EMILY
Blavk Coffee?
DAVE stops an smiles.
DAVE
Yes please.
EMILY turns around, DAVE's smile drops. The coffee machine
turns on, DAVE stares at the till and starts playing the
scynareo in is head, the shot, the till opening, the ecapse
route.
EMILY
So how are you?
DAVE
Uh... I'm fine thanks, yourelf?
EMILY
Yeah fine...I'm quite tired
though... long shift today.
DAVE
Oh right..
Dave looks down the cafe behind him.
DAVE
Quite busy today was it?
EMILY
Yeah (still facing the coffee
machine) it's strange though, the
last place I worked in a day like
this would be quiet a hell.
EMILY turns with coffee and places it in front of DAVE.

EMILY
It's strange not being busy here
is doing better than nothing, can
I get you anything else?
DAVE
No thanks.
Dave reaches towards the right side of his trousers where
both his wallet and pistol sit. The audience is left a long
shot of DAVE removing and item from that pocket of which
the audience is going to decide.
