I've been wanting to do a challenge on here for so long, and honestly, I've been trying to write a script about this film-noir myself, and this is my first script so it'd be great if I could read some tasty ones! Ok, then, you have to write a movie script, any genre is okay, and no, you cannot submit an already-written script, you have to write a new one, the script HAS to be for a movie, no plays, you have to follow all the traditional rules, if you don't have a staple writing editor, I suggest using WriterDuet, which is completely free. Feel free to message me if you have any doubts. And don’t forget to tag me in the comments (@spurtsokdark) so I can read your entries. $4 to the winner!

Extract from “Dessert Children”

THE PENTHOUSE, LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Emery's dead body is sprawled across the living room floor.Vail is laying on the couch evidently distressed eyes closed. Sage picks up a wine glass and sits on the floor leaning on the couch, thier breathing deliberately slow and steady. Rumi is jittery leaning into the crook of the wall visibly distressed by the situation at hand.

VAIL

(Vail opens her eyes and stares at the roof)

We have a dead body on our living room floor.

SAGE

(Sage looks back at Vail)

No shit.

VAIL

(Vail turns to look at sage, her voice cracks slightly)

W-we have a dead body on our couch.

RUMI

(Pinches the bridge of her nose)

Stop fucking reapeating yourself!

VAIL

My boyfriends dead body is sprawled across our living room floor, his eyes are-are--

(Sage interrupts Vail)

SAGE

Lets get him out before he starts to--(grimace) smell

(Sage glances in the direction of Emerys body)

VAIL

(Sits up and looks at sage with disbelief)

How?? Butcher his body?(waves hand franticly) Have him for dinner? Or maybe just dump him in the garbage?..

RUMI

(Rumi walks over to Vail and grabs her shoulders and shakes it)

If you don't stop freaking out Vail i swear i'll be gutting you and throwing your body into the river!

VAIL

(Vail frowns, lowers her voice and stares at Rumi)

Don’t joke like that.

RUMI

(Rumi Lessens her grip and sighs)

Don't look at me like that, I'm sorry Vail--for you're loss (she grimaces), but I'm serious, i'm not going to jail, especially not for killing your idiot boyfriend.

SAGE

(Sage stands up and drops the wine glass on table)

Can both of you stop arguing (groans), Vail we do need to find a way to get rid of the body.

VAIL

(Vail's head whips to look at Sage, she is slightly angry.)

I was being sarcastic(looks disgusted). We just killed someone, it might be another Tuesday for the desert children but I am NOT one of them.

RUMI

(Walks over and stands beside Sage picks up Sage's drink and takes a sip)

Then what? We keep the dead body with us?

VAIL

I-i-

(Emery's body shifts and emery lets out a groan, Vail dives towards emery almost falling on him.)

VAIL

Emery, oh my god, oh my god! How? HOW?

EMERY

(Emery takes Vail's hovering hand and sits up)

V-vail? What the fucks going on?

VAIL

Don't swear boy, (sighs) don't swear!

RUMI

(Rumi falls on the couch and sighs and groans)

Well that complicates things.

SAGE

(Glares at Rumi, then looks at Emery and smiles almost politely.)

Glad to have you back.

EMERY

(Glares at Sage.)

Let's talk about why I left in the first place, and why you wanted to bury me alive.

(Vail gasps and looks over at Sage and Rumi.)

VAIL

You knew he was alive! Why would you!

(Vail gets up in a fit of rage and walks over to Sage.)

VAIL Cont.

You call him your brother.

SAGE

(grimaces) I promise, i can explain Vail.

RUMI

(Rumi lets out a laugh on the couch and folds her legs up)

Well this is going to be fun
