Excerpt from a Script I'm Working On
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL-FOOTBALL STADIUM BLEACHERS-NIGHT
SAMUEL sits on the bleachers looking at the winter night sky, his eyes close as a snowflake falls in one. FAITH looks at Samuel from across the field and walks towards him. As Faith approaches Samuel's eyes are still closed, she climbs into the bleachers and sits next to him. Her hand rests on his, her head rests on her shoulders as she looks out on the snow blanketed field. Samuel grabs her hand as it rests on his, he doesn't open his eyes.
Samuel: When I open my eyes will you still be there?
Faith: Yes.
Samuel: Good, I like you being here.
Samuel squeezes Faith's hand and opens his eyes, but continues to look at night sky.
Samuel: It'll be okay, right?
Samuel finally looks at Faith, she lifts her head from his shoulder. She looks out into the snow, a tear falls.
Faith: Yeah, it'll be okay.
Samuel wipes her tear away. Faith boasts a large smile and then smacks Samuel with a snowball and jumps onto the field. Samuel stands up and follows her, laughing for the first time. The two of them play in the field throwing snowballs, the credits then begin to roll over them.
The initial credits end as the two lay in the snow and make snow angels.
Samuel(in a barely audible whisper): I love you.
OKAY, so thats it, its an initial draft of the final sequence of a very intense film, now just picture Quicksand by Sleeping at Last playing or maybe Blackout by Muse, and youll have a good feel of the scene.
