LIAH #927

here, is the first scene in my new film, tsl 2: the deuce (working title). it gets out of format when i have to copy and paste it, so bear with it.

Fade in:

ext. outside teddy's house - day

A car pulls up to a house. JOHN CHILLINGWORTH, a short maniac with black hair, a black mustache, and a black suit, emerges from the car. He looks down at a piece of paper, then at the house, and starts to walk towards the door. He has a menacing pace to his stride. Menacing meaning that this dude is here for trouble.

John Chillingworth rings the bell.

INT. TEDDY'S HOUSE - DAY

TEDDY, a mutton chopped lonely man in a robe is sitting at this couch. The doorbell rings. He goes to open the door and finds Chilingworth standing at the door, smiling.

Chillingworth

Can I come in?

Teddy motions for him to come in.

TEDDY

(fumbling his words)

I figured that I'd be seeing you sooner than later.

CHILLINGWORTH

So you know who I am?

TEDDY

I can take an educated guess.

CHILLINGWORTH

(laughing)

An educated guess, that's funny. Real fucking comedian, eh? How about we take a seat, talk some business. Do I smell coffee?

TEDDY

Uh, yeah. I just made a pot.

CHILLINGWORTH

I'd kill for a cup of coffee.

Chillingworth and Teddy sit at the table. Teddy is sitting uncomfortably, while Chillingworth is enjoying every sip.

CHILLINGWORTH

Alrgiht. You ready to talk. I got you a present.

Chillingworth puts a gun on the table.

TEDDY

Jesus Christ man I don't even know your name.

CHILLINGWORTH

John Chillingworth. Our brothers used to be in business together.

Teddy picks up the gun and smile forces its way out.

TEDDY

It's been about 5 years hasn't it?

Chillingworth nods.

TEDDY

There's not a day that goes by where I don't think about getting revenge on that woman. She killed my brother man, she killed my brother.

Teddy shoves his head into his hands.

CHILLINGWORTH

She left both our brothers dead in a fucking gutter somewhere. So here I am, handing you the means to do something about it. What's your move chief?

TEDDY

My move?

Teddy takes the gun in his hand and a look of conviction takes over his face.

TEDDY

I want to put a bullet in her fucking head.

CHILLINGWORTH

There we go, that's what I wanted to hear. Get yourself cleaned up.

EXT. OUTSIDE TEDDY'S HOUSE - DAY

Chillingworth walks outside towards the car. Teddy, now cleanly shaven with his hair slicked back and wearing a black sports jacket, follows.

TEDDY

Where to John?

CHILLINGWORTH

We've got some unfinished business in Jersey. Does the name Pearl ring a bell?

TEDDY

Picking up where they left off. Fucking alright.
