SCENE 1.
1999. INT. BEDROOM.
DAY.
Daniel walks across
the room with a handful of clothes, he stuffs them into a bag on his bed. He
looks over at a framed family photo sitting on his bedside table. He picks it
up. We can see sadness in Daniel’s eyes as he looks at the happy faces in the
photo. A car horn sounds in the background. Daniel carelessly drops the photo
onto the bed. He zippers his bag up and grabs it, pulling it off the bed. We
hear something break as he walks out of the room. We see, on the floor, the
family photo face-up, the glass smashed.
A car horn sounds as
Daniel walks out of the front door of his house.
Daniel
Coming!
The sound of a car is
heard in the distance (clearly not the car that used the car horn). Daniel runs
to the red convertible parked on the side of the road. He throws his bag into
the back. Daniel looks as a car speeds into the driveway. Daniel’s mother gets
out.
+Daniel’s
Mother+
Please
don’t go!
Daniel looks sad and
turns away.
+Daniel’s
Mother+
Daniel!
Please stay! I need your strength! I don’t know how I’ll survive without you!
Daniel’s step dad gets
out of the car. He walks briskly to Daniel’s mother and hits her. She falls to
the ground.
+Daniel’s
Step Dad+
Shut up bitch! (talking to Daniel’s Mother)
Daniel, why haven’t you Fuckin’ left already! I’ve had enough of your crap for
16 years! If you ever put one foot on my property you’ll be no fuckin’ better
than your bitch of a mum!
Daniel
looks back and sees his mum on the ground crying. She looks so tired and weak.
Daniel thinks for a second and then jumps into the car.
Matt
Good
to see ya Daniel. Ready?
Matt
looks back at Daniel’s mother.
Daniel
Just
fuckin’ drive Matt.
Daniel
closes his eyes for a few seconds.
Daniel
I’m sorry…
As
the car drives off. Daniel’s step dad walks inside the house. Daniel’s mother
lies on the ground crying. The screen slowly fades to black with her cries
still being heard, slowly getting quieter.
SCENE 2.
*2006. INT. BATHROOM. AFTERNOON
We
see the outline of a man’s body in a shower. The shower stops and the man steps
out. He wraps a towel around his waist and turns around. It’s Daniel. He looks
exhausted and aged. He approaches the bathroom cabinet. He opens a cupboard
above the cabinet and we see inside. He brings a syringe out. He positions the syringe
above the underside of his elbow. He uses the syringe and sighs in
pleasure/relief. He throws the syringe in a waste can beside the cabinet. We
see there are a lot of syringes and empty alcohol bottles in the waste can.
Daniel drinks from a bottle of alcohol on the cabinet. There’s only a mouthful
left. Daniel drops the bottle in the waste can as he leaves the bathroom.
INT. MAIN ROOM. AFTERNOON
Empty bottles of
alcohol, syringes on a coffee table, clothes and other rubbish is scattered
everywhere. Daniel is looking for alcohol. He chucks clothes out of his way,
tips lounge chairs over, and even attempts to drink from the empty bottles
scattered everywhere. We can see Daniel is getting frustrated, and his hands
start to shake. In a burst of anger he tips the dining room table over and a
vase full of red roses smash. We see there’s a tag on the flowers from a woman
named Danielle. Daniel grabs his head in frustration before hurrying back to
the bathroom (we follow him walking to the bathroom). Daniel hurriedly opens
the cupboard and grabs a container of syringes. He opens one up and uses it,
sighing with pleasure/relief. Daniel is still shaking. We can tell it didn’t
have the same effect as the last syringe. Daniel opens another syringe and uses
it. Daniel is still shaking. Daniel throws both syringes into the waste can,
knocking the waste can over. The syringes spill over the ground with broken
glass. Daniel grabs his hair, he looks in the mirror, his reflection blurs and
Daniel blinks. The mirror blurs again, and Daniel staggers back. He faints. His
head hits the bath behind him. A drop of blood falls to the white tiles. We see
Daniel on the ground, syringes and broken glass at his feet and his head
against the bath.

SCENE 3.
INT. SAINT JOANNE
HOSPITAL. DUSK.
Linda reaches across a
desk.
Linda
Thanks for the sushi
Charity. What would I do without you?
Linda
grabs the file and then turns around. She walks back to Charity browsing the
contents of the file.
Charity
Nothing.
As my name suggests, I’m an angel.
Linda
closes the file and looks up at Charity and smiles.
Linda
What’d you
say?
Charity
Oh,
Nothing. Anyway how’s the love life goin’?
Linda
It’s
ok…
Charity
Ok? Hmm…sure I’ll believe that if you give me a
bite of your sushi.
Linda
(Laughs)
Sure
Charity
reaches into the brown paper bag and pulls out a container of sushi. She opens
it up and smells.
Charity
Mmm…my favourite. It’s too bad you’re working all these hours, I WAS
going to ask you out tonight…but…
Suddenly
the emergency doors open and a doctor and two paramedics push a trolley
through. The trolley has Daniel on it. The trolley stops by Linda and Charity.
Charity
(Smiling at a handsome paramedic)…It seems
there’s a lot more exciting things to do at work…
Doctor
Linda could you fetch 30ml of (insert drug name
here).
Linda
sighs.
Doctor
(Sternly)
Please
The
Doctor calls over 2 nurses and they help him move the trolley to the ICU. The
paramedics move back down the hall through the emergency doors. Charity watches
after the paramedic she had smiled at.
Linda
I’m sorry but I really gotta go. Ah…I’ll call
you tomorrow?
Charity
Oh…ok…make sure it’s the afternoon though…you know
what I’m like with a hangover.
Linda
starts walking away backwards (so she can still see Charity).
Linda
Haha…bye
Charity
Bye
Linds.
Linda
(Jokingly) What have I told you about calling
me that in public? It belongs in the playground…which, I’ll remind you, we left
10 years ago!
Charity
(Sarcastically) Ok sheesh…haha
Linda
Bye
Linda
turns around and walks faster down the hall. Charity does the same in the
opposite direction but then turns back around.
Charity
(Holding the sushi bag in the air) What about
the sushi?
Linda
turns around smiling.
Linda
(Sighs) Eat it!
Linda
turns around and walks down the corridor, we see her turn and then the screen
goes black.
