I’m working on a script, and I thought it would be a fucking smart idea to ask any of you to help me write some of the dialogue. If any of your posts ends up in the short, I’ll send you a symbolic $5, plus some cheese on any future earnings (lol, anyway), and a credit under the pen name of your choosing.
It’s a really artsy fartsy piece, black and white, inspired by Quentin Tarantino violence. The dialogue will be abstract and fucked up.
A groups of five people are sitting in chairs, waiting for something. There are five: The Drunk, The Kid, The Iai Artist, The Arrogant Novice and the Clueless Guy.
As they dialogue, they kill eachother, almost at random, and the conversation continues as if nothing important had happened.
The Drunk looks dirty and disheveled, wearing a dirty sport’s jacket over 90’s style shorts and a T-shirt. Under the jacket he has two holsters for whatever guns Travolta and Jackson used in Pulp Fiction. Carries around a bottle of cheap hard liquor.
The Kid is clean cut, simple, has a black and white suit that calls little attention. He has a modified sling on his waist where he holsters a small bow preloaded with an arrow, arrows in a strap he wore like a satchel at the same level.
The Iai Artist is lazy but always ready, with a lazyly interested perspective on life. Has a smoking jacket with a tie that’s maybe 2 sizes too big, it hangs loose but fits. On waistband thing is supposed to carry a sheathed sword, but it is usually used like a cane or to repose the head instead.
The Arrogant Novice looks flashy, he has a flashy suit (not necessarily distastefully so) and a matching holster with a big western-style revolver with, like, shiny gold plates or something.
The Clueless guy is very well dressed, a kind of preppy hipster, fashionable. Has all the right politically correct opinions on everything. Carries a cellphone on a modified gunsling. Obviously first to die.
I already have some dialogue, but I won’t tell it to you. What I want are things you think the character would say (and remember it’s an abstract movie), don’t worry about the story.
Or even jusr write random shit.
