THE VOICE OF ATON "ENVIRO MENTAL" by GORDON D WENN CAST LIST --------- THE GUY THE COP SET LIST -------- EXTERIORS --------- ALLEY Copyright (c) 2008 - All rights reserved - KitsWriter@Yahoo.com # 1. ACT ONE FADE IN: EXT. - ALLEY - ESTABLISH - NIGHT We see a man, who we will call THE GUY, stepping out into an ALLEY behind a medium sized apartment building. A yellow sodium streetlight illuminates the only object that we can see. A light coloured dumpster. THE GUY approaches it with several plastic bags of gargage. He puts the entire load on the ground in front of the dumpster, then attempts to lift the lid. It doesn't move. He shrugs, then picks up the plastic bags and begins working them through the horizontal slot just below the dumpsters lid. He mangages to get two of them through the slot, just before his world takes a sharp left turn. Brilliant lights turn on suddenly, batheing him in hard white light. He actually turns and looks into them, before he realizes that it wasn't a good idea. He shades his eyes, squinting under them. Then a very commanding voice, who we will call THE COP, orders him to the ground. THE COP (loud) On Your Knees! Hands On Your Head! No Sudden Moves! THE GUY (puzzled) What? Peering into the light, THE GUY moves towards the voice. Which is a mistake, as several machine gun bullets strike the ground on our right. THE GUY falls down onto his knees. THE GUY(CON'T) (frightened) Who are you? Why are you shooting at me? What have I done? We see THE COP up close in his black SWAT uniform and thick dark glasses, as he moves in and cuffs THE GUY. He pushes his face into the asphalt. THE COP (loud) I said 'No Sudden Moves', Dirtbag. THE GUY (confused) Dirtbag, why am I a dirtbag. Who are you, why are you shooting at me? THE COP grabs THE GUY by the neck, still speaking loudly. THE COP (loud) Environmental Protection Police. THE GUY (lost) Police? What did I do? THE COP (still loud) Section One Ninety Seven. THE GUY (still lost) What's Section One Ninety Seven? THE COP picks him up, twisting him towards the dumpster. He presses THE GUYS' face into the lettering below the horizontal slot. THE COP (menacing) What part of 'CARBOARD ONLY', didn't you get? THE GUY (face squished) What? THE COP (menacing smile) Don't worry, we know how to recycle... (pause) Trash. He then manhandles THE GUY to some unseen personel on our left. He stands proudly for a moment, before tripping over THE GUYS' garbage. He looks down at it sheepishly. THE COP(CON'T) (points at garbage) Somebody get that. Then he moves to the left, out of our view, as the lights turn off. FADE OUT. THE END #
