The Pick - a screenplay

Another work in progress. About a man who has to choose between two women.
FADE IN:

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

It is a clear and sunny day, on a typical inner city street.

A young man named STEVE WALLS is walking down the hill of the street where he lives.
A LADY walks past him.

                                LADY
                        You gonna look good coming off
                        this hill tomorrow!

                                STEVE(smiling)
                        Yeah.

INT. MRS. WALLS' HOME - MOMENTS LATER

Once inside the house, Steve hears someone arguing in the next room.

Bad Decision - a screenplay

Here is a snippet of another screenplay. I wrote this in 2007. This is a story of a man who made a decision to sell drugs. His name is Sol Steelman, he lives in a two story house with his three brothers. Sol has a friend named Larry Jackmont, Larry lives alone in an apartment.

FADE IN:

INT. A CITY BAR - DAY

LARRY and SOL are in a bar talking.

                                SOL
                        You know one thing: I'm gonna start
                        selling drugs for awhile.

                                LARRY
                        Sol, you can't do that!

                                SOL
                        But I'm tired of bein broke.

                                LARRY
                        I know you are. I'm tired of it
                        too. But you gotta find another
                        way.

                                SOL
                        I think you're right.

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....
