« The Dream Cops »

by

Ralph N.J

Based on a

short story

by

William S.Burroughs

Fade In
Int.-Apartment-Morning

Loud knocking, the agent rushes over to the door, turns the key.

Three cops, two in plain clothes, one in uniform, barge in.

The uniformed cop grabs the agent and handcuffs him.

The agent looks over to one of the plain clothes cops. The fat one chomps on a cigar.

Agent

The cigar’s too long, a dream cigar. You can’t touch me.

Fat cop nods to uniformed cop who smiles with a snarl.

Fat cop hits agent across the mouth, lips bleeding.

Fat Cop

You have some peculiar dreams. Besides, we can dream too...sleeping with a nigger.

Agent looks over to the bed to see a young Negro lying there, lice crawling out of his hair.

Fat Cop

All right, let’s see your arm.

The Agent, handcuffed, struggles to roll up his sweatshirt sleeve.

Fat Cop

Wise guy, eh? You’re the wisest prick I ever walked in on. Let’s see your arm. Your short arm.

He grabs the agent’s belt and, with his other hand, rips open the agent’s fly, buttons falling off.

He kneels down and holds something between his fingers which we don’t see.

He turns over to the skinny plain clothes cop in the kitchen taking the number on the kerosene stove. He too has cigar in his mouth.

Fat Cop

Sixty percent of them are Jews.

Agent

I’m not Jewish.

Fat Cop
(to Agent)

Sure, I know. You ****ed one of those characters eats glass and razorblades and circumscribed yourself. Not Jewish!

He laughs. The skinny cop, looking up from the stove, laughs back. A gold filling falls out of his mouth.

Fat cop signals to the uniformed cop to un-cuff the agent.

Fat Cop
(to Agent)

Watch your step.

All three cops leave the room laughing.

Fade Out


Fade In
Int.-Apartment-Morning

The agent gets out of bed rubbing his jaw.

He lights the kerosene stove, looks down at something.

Through the flames, we make out a gold filling.

Fade Out

The End

I have a good idea.

Its about a character, Laura, who gets a call from her boyfriend. Her boyfriend needs $100,000 in 20 minutes and is halfway across town. She then proceeds to find the money for her boyfriend before a local crime boss kills him. Here is the best part. She does it 3 times. You're probably like What the F%^& but hear me out. The first time she does it she dies in the end. We rewind back to the beginning and show what happens if the smallest detail is changed. Her boyfriend dies the second time. the third time she succeeds in getting the money to him. They live happily ever after.

The movie is great because it shows alternate universes in a way.

Anyway, Its called Hurry Laura Hurry.


P.S. Laura has red hair.

lol, good, ORIGINAL,idea Ryan.

HAHAHA.

I love it, Ryan!

guys im interested in all genres, any topics..i will give you FULL CREDIT TO YOUR WRITING, A COPY OF THE MOVIE ON DVD...just plz post all your ideas or scripts that you want to shoot and ill work with you on it

"Kittens"

Ralph N.J
Fade IN
Int. Room-Night

The sound of heavy breathing is heard. We fade in to long red haired girl, PIPER, lying on her back, arms spread on bed. Her eyes are wide. Her face is covered in sweat. She is frightened. In her right hand, she clutches a gun.

She gets up, she turns her head. We see the shape of a person under a sheet. The shape does not move. She looks away. She starts to sob. She is lost, she doesn't know what to do. She falls back. Seeing the shape lying next to her, she quickly moves away from it, crawling on the edge of the bed, onto the floor and into a corner of the room. Noticing the gun still in her hand, she throws it across the floor. The gun slides to an abrupt stop. She stays huddled in the corner, bare feet. She has her head to the wall, eyes closed, looking away from the gun. Her hair hides her face. Her face, her legs, her gown and all the rest of her body are covered with red smudges of blood. She moans silently.

Dissolve to:
Int-Adjoining Room-Night

Older dark haired woman, LOLA, in silk robe, sits at the end of the bed. She smokes a cigarette. Behind her also lies a shape. This shapes moves but stops as if to back to sleep. LOLA gets up, snuffs out her cigarette in the ashtray by the bedside table, takes the wad of money left there and stuffs it in her bra. She leaves the room.

Cut to:
Int. Hallway-Night

LOLA walks toward adjoining door. She knocks. No answer. Listens, head against door. She slowly opens the door a crack. She peers through, nothing. She enters.

Cut to:
Int. Piper's room-Night

LOLA turns her head and sees PIPER in the far right corner of the room, same position as before. LOLA approaches, feels something cold under her feet. She looks down, jumps, kicks it away.

The gun slides under the bed out of sight.

LOLA
****!

She looks at PIPER. Her eye follows the small trail of little red dots from the floor to the matress to an even bigger mess where the shape still lies. All that is seen is a leg and an arm. The rest is covered by sheet.

LOLA
****!
(sharply at PIPER)
Don't-Move, You hear me.

She leaves the room.

PIPER is alone, head against the wall, listening to the sound of footsteps and a drawer being opened. A few more footsteps and LOLA reappears with a packet of cigarettes. She gets out a lighter from the pocket of her robe. She lights herself one, stuffs the lighter in her pocket. She puts the packet down on a small table, where an ashtray lies, by the window.

After a few puffs and pacing around the room, she snuffs out her cigarette in the ashtray.

She heads toward the closet at the other end of the room, opens it and gets out a small suitcase covered with torn travel stickers unreadable to us. LOLA slaps it down on the bed. Opens it and heads back to the closet where she starts rummaging through drawers.

PIPER looks up.

PIPER
Wh-what are you d-doing?
A beat

LOLA
You're leaving. Tonight.

PIPER
But-

LOLA
No "buts".

PIPER
You don't-

LOLA
(Holding out her finger)
Tsch.

PIPER
(fast;through tears)
He got rough. I told him to stop.
He got angry. He-

LOLA
(sharply)
Don't tell me.

She frantically continues emptying drawers. She comes back with a small pile of very ordinary looking clothes, none of them are very clean. She clumsily puts it all down into the suitcase. Something cathches her eye. She goes through the clothes and gets out a rather sexy pair of panties. She is outraged.

LOLA
You *****! Who told you you could take my stuff!

She throw them in PIPER'S face.

LOLA looks under the bed for the gun but can't find it.

PIPER sniffs, wipes a tear from her face, gets up, crawls over to LOLA and wraps herself around LOLA's legs.

LOLA
Stop that!

PIPER doesn't let go. LOLA barely manages to break loose and kicks PIPER away.

PIPER lies on all fours crying.

LOLA
Don't you ever touch me!

PIPER is still crying. LOLA gets her up on her feet.

LOLA
Now get dressed!

PIPER
(sharply)
NO!!

PIPER is down at the corner of the bed hugging it. She sobs uncontrollably.

LOLA
Oh, grow up will ya?

PIPER
I can't go home, I can't go anywhere.
(sobs)
I didn't want to hurt him. He just-
He just-Ohh god!
(looks toward LOLA)
Believe me, Lola. Pleaasse. Belive me.

LOLA
I believe you.

At this moment the camera slowly pans over to the shape. It lies on it's stomach, the right hand moves a little. We hear:

PIPER
(O.S.)
You don't.

The shape is up, his head can just barely be seen looking toward the women. He holds the gun up toward one of the two women.

LOLA
(O.S.)
I do.

PIPER
(O.S)
No, you don't. You have no idea how I feel. You have no feelings of your own, you-

LOLA
(O.S)
GET DOWN!

Sound of a body hitting the floor. LOLA pounces on the shape. Small struggle, gargling noises then silence. LOLA has clearly strangled him.

A cry.

Pan back with LOLA over to PIPER, back in her corner. LOLA tries, not too succesfully, to console her.

LOLA
It's OK...it's OK.

LOLA takes PIPER over to the bed the bed. PIPER hesitates then sits down trying hard to ignore the dead body. LOLA grabs her packet of cigarettes from the table, sits down next to PIPER, takes out a cigarette. She offers one to PIPER.

PIPER
No...thanks.

LOLA lights her cigarette. They both look away, silent.

LOLA
What else did you steal?
Aside from the gun.

PIPER
Your underwear.

They look at each other, LOLA smiles briefly then looks away. PIPER does likewise.

LOLA is pensive. She scratches her leg a bit. PIPER looks up. She stares at the ceiling.

She notices a small piece of wallpaper peeling off the wall. It is decaying rapidly.

PIPER
Lola

LOLA
Hmm

PIPER
Were you ever...you know?

No answer.

PIPER
Suppose it did. What would you do?

LOLA
What can I say, piper? You just pack and go.
(takes a drag)
It's our instinct. Remember that.

PIPER
I don't think I can.

LOLA
You will.
(takes a drag, then blows)
You will.

PIPER looks back at the piece of wallpaper.

A beat.

PIPER
"Where there's a will"

The piece of wallpaper peels off slightly. She looks down at her feet.

PIPER
"There's a way" All I remember from school, before I dropped out.

She laughs silently to herself.

LOLA looks toward her, surprised.

PIPER looks toward LOLA.

They both stare a while, then look away.

PIPER
When do I leave?

Another beat.

LOLA
(sighs)
Now, I guess.
(nods her head; scratches her leg again)
Yeah, might as well. Go.

PIPER gets up leaving LOLA to her thoughts. She looks at LOLA one last time then looks away. She closes her suitcase then heads toward the bathroom with her clothes. Pan over to LOLA. The sound of running water can be heard. LOLA remains lost in her thoughts. We slowly pan back to PIPER, fully dressed, face more or less clean. She takes one last look in the mirror, wiping off any last traces with tissue paper. She throws it down the toilet, flushes then exits the bathroom. The camera slowly follows her picking up her suitcase and heading for the door.

LOLA
Wait!

LOlA gets up, approaches PIPER, takes the wad of money out of her bra and passes it to PIPER.

LOLA
Take this. You'll need it.

PIPER stares at the money in her hand.

PIPER
I thought-

LOLA
Take it.

LOLA smiles. PIPER smiles back.

PIPER looks over to the corpse.

PIPER
What about him?

LOLA
Just go.

PIPER slowly nods then exits.

LOLA is alone, cigarette still in hand. She walks over to the window. The light shines the venetian blinds across her face. She takes a drag. The sound of a bus coming and leaving is heard. She looks down.

Cut to:
POV from window-Street.

Through the blinds we can make out a small phone booth. PIPER is inside.

Cut to:
Ext. Street-Night

The street is dark, lit only by the light of the booth. From the outside, we watch her. She is crying. The camera slowly pans around her.

PIPER
Yes, I'll accept the charges...Piper...hello...yeah,it's me.

Short pause

I don't know why I ran away...I'm OK, I guess...Nowhere important...just some town...mom...I wanna ask you(snif)could you- (holds back; hesitates)
never mind...how's ginger?...really..kittens..
(cheering up a little)
that's great

Long Pause

(calming down)
I can...okay...I love you

She cries one more time and hangs up. She gets out, wipes a tear from her face with her sleeve and slowly walks down the street,suitcase in hand, into darkness.

Cut to:
Int. Room-Night

LOLA is watching. She takes a breathe and and snuffs out her cigarette.

[she gets out a mobile phone from her pocket. WIDE SHOT of room as she turns her back to us then exits.

LOLA
Hi, it's lola...got a bit of a situation here

The room is still, corpse in sight.]

ralph, i sent u a private msg..check it
ANyone else have ideas or scripts? im willing to read more

ok guys come on post more ideas and scripts

I STILL NEED A GOOD SCRIPT GUYS..UR ALL BUFFS HERE..GIVE ME SOME SCRIPTS

heres an idea for a script i've been thinkin anout writing

the story starts in a restaurant where 5 men, all in late 30's-early 40's, reunite for a dinner. all of them have been involved with the mob in their area, which is how they know each other, and they're all good friends. as they sit down and eat and wutever friends do when they talk about the past and how each one is doin, each person tells a story about them in the past, and we would go back in that story to get a lil background on each character. but the main story would be between only 2 of the friends and their backgrounds. one friend tells about the mob boss giving him a hit list on people that know too much, and cant be trusted. the list is like 4 people long. the friend tells about how he managed to kill them, but he only tells how he killed three of them, not four. the other friend tells about how after his last job caused him to think twice about his life, he tells the mob boss he wants to quit and think about his family's well being. after the dinner, the 5 friends all walk outside and each one goes to their car or a taxi. the friend who told the story about the hit list and the one who wanted out of the mob are left. the friend who wanted out of the mob tells the other guy he will give him a ride, so he doesnt have to take a taxi. as they get to the car, friend wit the hit list pulls out a gun and shows the friend who wanted out in the back. friend wit the list pulls out the list and scratches off the last name and we learn that the friend who wanted out was the last hit.

kinda rough idea, but im thinkin bout writin this, whether u want to film it or not

....No! (A 'please' would be nice ) anyway, i've got some scripts but they're for me to shoot. Sorry.

I have this play that could be adapted into a script. It all takes place in a single location - like a bus station or something. (originally is was at a doctor's office.) And it's about this character named Simon who sees a women murder and some how, it's never explained how, he travels back through time to try to save her. The play was fifteen minutes in real time of him trying to save her. And it's come to a point where he accidentally falls in love with her and he's trying to convince her to leave. Anyway, if it sounds intresting I can get you the play/script by monday. Just tell me yea or nae.

kinda rough idea, but im thinkin bout writin this, whether u want to film it or not

its an interesting concept, it would be good if u write it..involve depth and history between those 2 guys especially to make it be shown how it is such a deciving move

Alright. I'll post the script, or send it to you, Monday or Tuesday. We'll see how you like it.

In addition to my last post, I can post the horindously rough draft of the script...but it's bad. I'd get you the good one sooner its just its on a different computer.

And I was going to tell you I have a different script. It's kinda in the dark comedy/experimental. I mean, you could take this script and go anywhere you wanted with it. But Godfather, tell me what you think about this. And I can get you the script for this.

Here's my idea, you have this kid named Alex, and he's pulling an Ed Norton in Fight Club, he's just the cliche depressed little boy. Then he starts to learn how to manipulate his dreams. And after many nights of manipulating, he finally starts seeing things in reality he likes and adapting them into his dream. He see's a girl friend and her boyfriend under a tree in a park and in his dreams, he's takes the place of the boyfreind. He does this numerous times, seeing things he likes, yada yada, and finally it's like omigod he's done it a lot. He starts to have an intresting relationship with the people in his dreams and they start to hold him captive - or they're like, 'you don't even like reality, stay here with us.' Finally he see's some friends talking about dreams and so he goes home, goes to sleep, and in his dream he's takes the place of the friend talking about dream's. And he has the dream that person was talking about. So now, it's almost like he's locked in another person's dream. He spends the rest of the film hopping from dream to dream and this can be visually stunning, until he A.) finds his girlfriend, or B.) wakes up.

I know it's cliche to have dreams and all that B.S. and you've heard these stories numerous times. I offer something different, I present it in a hole new way.

ill post the script in a while, i have to find it.

what kind of budget r u filming with?(high, low, no?!?)

i will begin writin the script this week for my idea
