Screenplay Assignment

Scene I
Kyra: [This room is so exquisitely dull. Everything is beige, the lamp, the rug, the carpet even the couch is beige. All the same shade too. Everything blends in; it’s as if nothing is here. I’m not even here. My God, I’m beige. I’m a bland ugly beige wall. I’m…]

Doctor: What are you thinking?

Kyra: [How dare you interrupt my thoughts you old wrinkly pig.] I’m thinking about white fluffy bunnies with pink noses.

Doctor: Really now? I was just thinking about how damn beige this room is. It really needs some color. Any suggestions?

Kyra: [I hate you.] Actually I rather like beige. It invokes thought and gives the illusion of a scholar. [You are so full of shit.]

Doctor: You are so full of shit.

Kyra: [I am so tired of this] Stop doing that!

Doctor: [innocently] Doing what?

Kyra: Saying what I am thinking.

Doctor: So why don’t you say what you’re thinking?

Kyra: Because it’s none of your damn business.

Doctor: [grinning evilly] On the contrary everything about you is my business. You forget me petite that you are stuck here until I see fit to allow you to be released. And that could be a very long time from now.

His laugh throughout the room. The beige started to melt off the walls and cover her from head to toe, consuming her, suffocating her, killing her.

Kyra: [Run, run I have to run away! I can’t move! I’m stuck! Help!]

Scene II
Charles: [I wonder where she is now…]

Francesco: You C!

Charles: [F***! I’m not in the mood Francesco] Yo Francesco, my man! What’s poppin’? Hey how’d it go with your lady last night? [As if I care you bastard. You’re the reason I’m without mine right now]

Francesco: [cocky grin] Just another bee in the hive, homez you know how it is.

Charles: [No, I don’t and you know it. Just smile, just smile, just smile. We’ll get him soon just smile, just smile.]

Scene III
Francesco: How they treating you babe?

Kyra: [Horrible! They drug me and write false reports about me. I’m not crazy I swear it! I didn’t hurt anyone! Please you’ve got to help me!] Great, everyone is really nice. I’m starting to get a lot better.

Francesco: Any word on when you’ll be getting out? I miss you so bad.

Kyra: [God he’s so wonderful] I miss you, too. [I’ll never get out of here] And I should be getting out really soon.

Francesco: Oh, I’m so glad.

The computer interrupts their meeting. Its robotic voice rings out end of all sessions.

Francesco: [Well I can’t have her getting out anytime soon. If she gets out, unmediated then she could ruin everything. I’ve only got one way to stop that.]

He picks up his cell phone and speed dials a number.

Francesco: Hey Doc. We got to do something here….

Kyra: [I wonder how C is…]
