Hangin' on Sands - a screenplay

This is part of the opening scene of "Hangin' on Sands", a screenplay I wrote with a friend back in 2002.


FADE IN:

EXT. STREET CORNER - DAY

A typical inner city street corner. A single-story convenience store stands on the corner. Across the street from the store is a neighborhood bar.

George is standing in front of the store. George is in his early twenties, medium build.

                                GEORGE(V.O.)
                        This is a story of a city street
                        somewhere in Pennsylvania...

Across the street in front of the bar are two other men, a Drug dealer and an addict, in the mist of a deal.

                                GEORGE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                        This is also my story. My name is
                        George Rowls. I have a friend named
                        Tony Dix. Everybody calls me "Gee";
                        they call Tony "Tee"...

A girl about twelve, rides down the street on a pink bicycle.

                                GEORGE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
                        The name of this street is Sands. Now,
                        first of all, Sands is a street that everyone
                        comes to. If you don't have anything better
                        to do, you hang on this one street where
                        the drugs are wide-spread, sex always
                        has a price, and every girl you get with
                        is hooked....
