Ok, this is kind of a crappy peice...but it's my first try at a short film script....hope you enjoy!
Part One:
Kent, Oh- early spring. Jimmy Watts is sitting on his couch with his best
friend Sara Price, crying.
Jimmy: (between sobs) I can't find Sir Hector Sara, He's my bestest friend
and I...I lost him! (sobs out of control)
Sara: Don't worry Jimmy, Sir Hector has got to be around here somewhere.
Stop crying, and blow your nose. We'll look for him together.
Jimmy: Th...thank you Sara.
(Sara and Jimmy search the house but can't find sir Hector anywhere.
Finally, in Jimmy's bedroom on the bed Jimmy finds a note.)
Jimmy: Sara! I found a note! It says....uh...um I can't read Sara, what's
it say?!
Sara: (in awe) It says, "Jimmy, I don't want to be your bestest friend
anymore. I am running away. Love, Sir Hector.
(Jimmy drops to his knees crying.)
Jimmy: He hates me! Why?
Sara: (walks over and puts her hand on Jimmy's shoulder)
It'll be alright Jimmy, I promise. I'm going to make a phone call, I'll be
right back.
Jimmy says nothing just continues to sob. Sara walks into the kitchen,
grabs the phone off the hook and dials a number. Meanwhile Katie is
sitting on the toilet taking her first 1 of the day.
(Ring-ring)
Katie: Shit! Hold on, I'm coming!
(Katie picks up the phone)
Katie: Hello?
Sara: Katie, it's Sara. I need your help.
Katie: You have shitty timing. I was on the fucking toilet when you called.
Sara: Sorry about that. It's important though.
Katie: What?
Sara: Well, I'm over here at Jimmy's and somebody stole Sir Hector.
Katie: Who the fuck is Sir Hector?
Sara: Jimmy's stuffed dog. There's a note here supposedly from Sir Hector,
but we both know that Sir Hector is just a stuffed animal, and can't write.
Katie: What does the note say?
Sara: It says that Sir Hector ran away, and doesn't want to be Jimmy's
friend anymore.
Katie: Shit. I'll be right over.
Sara: Thanks Katie
(Sara hangs up the phone and goes back into Jimmy's bedroom where Jimmy is
laying on the floor whimpering.
Sara: Everything will be okay Jimmy. We'll go find Sir Hector.
Jimmy: But his note says he doesn't like me anymore.
Sara: I'm sure he didn't really mean that Jimmy. Come on let's get ready
to go.
Jimmy: Okay Sara.
(As Sara is helping Jimmy get his shoes and coat on, there is a knock at
the front door.
Katie: Open the fucking door!
Sara: Jimmy, finish putting your shoes on while I get the door.
(Sara walks out into the living room towards the door.)
Sara: I'm coming, hold on
(she opens the door and let's Katie in.)
Katie: Where's Jimmy?
Sara: He's in the bedroom getting ready to go.
Katie: Getting ready to go where?
Sara: We're going to find Sir Hector.
Katie: Wait a minute, you never said anything about walking around looking
for a fucking stuffed dog. What the fuck?
Sara: Come on Katie, I really need your help with this. Jimmy is really
torn up over this.
Katie: Okay, but you owe me one. What's the plan?
Sara: Let's see...first we should go talk to anyone who might know where
Sir Hector is, or who might have taken him.
Katie: Alright. Jimmy!
(Jimmy walks into the living room looking like somebody just killed his
mother.)
Jimmy: Hi Katie. Are you going to help me find Sir Hector?
Katie: Yes. (Gives Sara a dirty look) I'm here to help.
Jimmy: Thank you Katie. (smiles)
Sara: Let's go over to Josh's house and see if he has seen Sir Hector.
Katie: Where does he live? Why can't we just fucking call him?
Sara: Josh's family doesn't believe in phones. They think they are of the
devil.
Katie: That's just fucking great. Religious Psyco's. Let's do this.
Sara: Are you ready Jimmy?
Jimmy: (sniffles sadly) Yeah, let's go.
(They walk out the door.)
Part 2
(Midday, Jimmy, Sara, and Katie are walking down the street to Josh's
house.)
Katie: (whining) How much further do we have to walk? My feet are fucking
killing me.
Sara: We're almost there. It's at the end of the street.
Jimmy: We're gonna find Sir Hector?
Sara: That's right Jimmy, we're going to find him.
Jimmy: YAY! I love Sir Hector!
Katie: (under her breath) I can't believe I got myself caught up in this
shit.
(They arrive at Josh's house and walk up the walkway to the door, and Sara
knocks on the door. A few seconds later Josh's mother opens the door.)
Josh's mom: Hi there kids! How are you all doing today?
Sara: We're doing great Mrs.Gibbs. Is Josh home?
Josh's mom: Yes he is. Come on in.
(They walk into the house, and sit down on the sofa.)
Josh's mom: Hold on one second kids, he's in the sanctuary praying for his
sins.
(Katie gives Mrs. Gibbs a strange look)
Jimmy: Thank you Mrs. Gibbs. Josh is my friend. Have you seen Sir Hector?
(Josh's mom looks at Jimmy for a second)
Josh's mom: No honey.... I'll go get Josh.
(Josh's mother leaves the room.)
Jimmy:(whispering) Josh is my friend. (laughs)
(Katie gets up off the couch and walks around the living room looking at
the pictures on the wall.)
Katie:(in a low voice) Josh's mom is fucking weird.
Sara: Shhhhh.....Don't let her hear you talking about her, she'll go off
on one of her rants. I really don't want to sit through another one of
those.
(Josh and his mother walk into the living room)
Josh:(excited) Jimmy! Hi!
Jimmy: Hi Josh! Have you seen Sir Hector?
(Josh suddenly gets a sad look on his face.)
Josh: Jimmy, I have bad news. Do you remember Frank Dieter?
(At the mention of Frank's name the look of mortal fear creeps into
Jimmy's face.)
Sara: Who's Frank Dieter?
Josh: Frank used to be Jimmy and my best friend a few years ago. We
stopped talking to him because.....well, do you guys have a second to
listen to a story?
Jimmy, Katie, and Sara: Yes
Josh: Okay, It was two years ago to the day........
(Flash back to two years ago. Jimmy, Josh, Frank and Ashley are walking
down by the river.)
Jimmy: Ashley, I have a question for you. Will you go out with me?
Frank: No Ashley, you should go out with me.
Ashley: Well....I like you both. I don't know how I'd be able to choose
between the two of you.
Frank: We'll play rock, paper, scissors.
Jimmy: I..I don't know. Okay, why not.
Ashley: On three. Ready, one, two, three.
(Frank wins the game, and Jimmy falls to his knees)
Jimmy:(screams) NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(Back to Josh's house)
Josh: (looks at Sara and Katie) Now that you two know a little bit about
Frank, I have some bad news for you.
(looks at Jimmy)
Josh: Jimmy, I saw Frank walking down my street last night. Sir Hector was
with him.
Jimmy: No! not Sir Hector too.
Josh: I'm afraid so Jimmy
(Jimmy starts crying)
Sara: It's okay Jimmy we can just go to Frank's house and get Sir Hector
back.
Josh: It won't be that easy Sara, you see Frank doesn't have a home.
Sara: Oh....
(She looks down at the ground)
Sara: (looks back up) Well then, we'll just have to go and find him then.
Katie: Wait just a fucking minute! You mean to tell me that we're going to
walk around town looking for a fucking homeless guy who has a stuffed dog?
(Now Jimmy starts crying even harder)
Sara: Yes! That is exactly what we are going to do.
Katie: Oh shit.
Josh's mom: (Screaming) Watch your language! This is a God-fearing house.
There will be no swearing in this house. Josh! I can't believe you are
mixed up with people like that!
Josh: (While his mother is screaming) You'd better leave.
(Jimmy, Katie, and Sara get up, and rush out of the house)
Josh's mom: (Still screaming) I raised you better than that! Get back into
the sanctuary and pray for your sins to be forgiven!
Part 3
(The three of them are standing outside of Josh's house)
Sara: I think we need to find somewhere to sit down and figure out what
we're going to do next.
Katie: Yeah we do. I don't want to just wander around the fucking city
looking for this motherfucker.
Jimmy: I'm hungry!
Katie: I could use some food too.
Sara: Let's go to the cafe and get some food, I could go for a cup of
coffee.
(The three of them start back the way that they came. fade out)
(fade in to cafe. Jimmy, Sara, and Katie are sitting around a table.)
Sara: (sips coffee) I can only think of one place that Frank would be.
Under the bridge downtown.
Katie: Let's finish our food and get going. (takes a bite of her sandwich)
Damn, this is a good fucking sammich.
Jimmy: (mouth full of food) I hope we find Sir Hector soon. I miss him.
Sara: We'll find him before too long Jimmy. I promise
(They all sit in silence for a second.)
Sara: Well, let's do this.
(They exit the cafe)
(Fade in to the three of them walking)
(Cut to the bridge)
Sara: We're here. Let's look around.
(Sara and Jimmy go one way and Katie goes another)
Katie: I'll yell if I see him.
Sara: Ok, I'll do the same.
(Sara and Jimmy look around when they hear Katie yell)
Katie: I found him!
(Sara and Jimmy come running. Frank is sitting on the ground with Sir
Hector next to him.
Jimmy: Sir Hector! YAY!!!
Sara: Frank Dieter.
Frank: Yeah, who are you?
Sara: I'm Sara, but it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you
stole Sir Hector from my friend Jimmy, and we are here to take him back.
Frank: But Sir Hector is my only friend. I have no one else, and I'm not
going to let you guys have him. For almost two years I have done nothing
but walk around by myself. I have no home, no family, no nothing. I'm not
giving him up.
Katie: Listen asshole, I didn't walk around all day just to go home
without Sir Hector. Now give him back right now or I'll kick your fucking
ass!
Jimmy: Frank, let's settle this once and for all. You and me; rock, paper,
scissors.
Sara:(gasps) Are you sure Jimmy? last time.....
Jimmy: (interrupts) I'm sure Sara. This is how it has to be.
Sara:(sighs) Okay Jimmy, if you're sure.
(Jimmy walks up to Frank.)
Jimmy: Let's do this Frank
(Frank stands up. They stare at each other for a second.)
Jimmy: Sara, count to three. (looks at Frank)
Jimmy: Are you ready Frank?
(Frank nods)
Sara: Okay; one, two, three
(Frank and Jimmy, standing toe to toe, play rock, paper, scissors. One,
two, three. Frank throws paper, and Jimmy throws scissors. Frank drops to
his knees and howls)
Frank: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Jimmy: (yells victoriously) YAY!!!
(Frank, on his knees, is crying out of control, and Jimmy walks over to
him and kneels down.
Frank:(between sobs) I lost Sir Hector. My only friend, and I..I lost
him. (continues sobbing)
(Jimmy reaches down and helps Frank to his feet.)
Jimmy: Frank, I'll be your friend.
Frank: But, I stole Sir Hector from you. Why do you want to be my friend?
Jimmy: I don't know exactly, but if you promise not to steal Sir Hector
again I will be your friend.
(Frank's crying slows to a slight whimper)
Frank: I don't know how to thank you. You're the greatest friend in the
whole wide world.
Jimmy:(smiles) I know Frank, I know.
Sara:(smiling) Let's all go get some ice cream.
Frank and Jimmy: Yay! Ice cream!
(Katie looks at Frank, Jimmy and Sara as they walk back to the street)
Katie:(out loud but to herself) What the fuck just happened here? I don't
fucking understand people
(smiles)
Katie: Fuck it, ice cream sounds good.
(Katie follows the group up the hill to the street)
Katie: If you can't beat them..........
