In my creative writing class we did a whole section on screenplays. This is the first screenplay i have ever written so it kinda sucks XD
MARISA AND RACHEL ARE 24
Ext. A park- Day
The park is full of life. Kids are on the play ground, people are walking their dogs, an old couple is jogging. The CAMERA focuses in on a MARISA. She is on a bench strumming on her guitar and humming slightly. Her friend RACHEL is snapping pictures every few seconds. RACHEL adjusts the camera and continues to snap pictures, switching angle positions frequently.
RACHEL
Perfect! Tilt your head a little bit.
MARISA tilts her head.
RACHEL
Excellent! Keep that pose.
MARISA
(Slightly whiny)
Are we almost done? My neck is starting to hurt.
RACHEL
(Puts hand across chest)
Do not rush perfection.
RACHEL goes back to snapping pictures. MARISA sighs, but remains still.
RACHEL stands up.
RACHEL
And that is a wrap ladies and gentlemen!
These pictures are going to look amazing.
MARISA
(rolls her eyes, but smiles)
I bet they will ‘cuz they’re pictures of me
RACHEL
(Scowls)
Haha Funny.
MARISA
I’ll see you tomorrow, I guess.
MARISA turns to leave, but RACHEL grabs her arm and faces her.
RACHEL
What’s the matter? You seem depressed.
MARISA
(unsure)
I’m fine
RACHEL
(rolls eyes)
I’ve known you long enough to know that that
is a load of bull. Please tell me?
MARISA
(Firmly)
No.
RACHEL
Ah! So there is something.
Marisa slaps herself in the face and sighs.
MARISA
Nothing I can tell you about. I’ll see you
Later.
MARISA turns and starts to walk away. RACHEL follows.
RACHEL
(in a wondering tone)
I wonder what this secret is about.
Do you know some sort of government secret that
you weren’t supposed to find out? It really was
aliens that crashed in Roswell, wasn’t it?
RACHEL looks at Marisa, who ignores Rachel and continues walking.
RACHEL
I knew it!
Marisa
(annoyed)
Has the thought of ‘Hm, maybe this secret
Could affect me’ cross your mind? You should
just go home and work on my album cover.
RACHEL
To answer your question, no that thought
has never crossed my mind. (Determined) I
will find out your secret.
MARISA
Good luck.
Marisa and Rachel continue walking. Rachel looks suspiciously at Marisa.
MARISA
(annoyed)
Stop looking at me like that! It’s creepy.
RACHEL
(puts fingers to temples)
Shhhhh, I’m trying to read your mind.
Marisa rolls her eyes and stops walking. She turns to Rachel.
MARISA
(reluctant)
Fine. (sighs) I’m… Pregnant.
Rachel’s eyes widen and she takes a step back.
RACHEL
(excited)
I knew it! I can plan the baby shower, right?
MARISA
(Smiling)
Sure. You’re not mad? You don’t think this
will ruin my career?
RACHEL
Probably, but that doesn’t matter! You’re
gonna have a baby!
Marisa and Rachel start walking again. They are heard talking about baby names and laughing.
