This is the first 2.5 scenes of my script of the girl who drugs her parents to death. Maybe if people see what I write it will be taken more seriously.


INT. Samantha's room

Samantha walks into her room. she puts her book bag on her chair. Then her cell phone rings. It is a text message from her mother, Jean, who asks if she has gotten home. Samantha rolls her eyes with disgust and texts her with the words "Yes, mother." Then she gets another text message from her dad, Ken asking the same thing. She texts back, "Yes, I am home. I understand the rules. I must come directly home after school, and I cannot go anywhere without without my at least one of my brothers with me." Samantha turns off her phone and lies down on her bed. She looks with a sad face at her wall with various academic trophies on it. She gets and looks at her acceptance letter from Columbia University, and smiles.

Samantha

At least, soon I will finally be free.

Int. The Kitchen

Samantha walks down stairs into the kitchen, where Jean is pouring coffee into a mug. Ken walks in and kisses her. Her twin brother Cal is eating cereal. Samantha begins frying and egg on the stove.

SAMANTHA

You know today is the day we find out who the valedictorian is.

jean

Oh, I bet its gonna be my little girl.

Ken

Yep, you have been the number one student ever since middle school.

SAMANTHA

Yes, at least if I am valedictorian, I will have something good to remember about high school.

ken

What is that supposed to mean?

Samantha turns off the stove and puts her egg on her plate.

SAMANTHA

Well, it's just that I have never had any fun on my own. I always have to go places with my brothers. Why don't you trust me to go places by myself?

jean

Samantha, honey, we have already told you this. Girls are more vulnerable.

ken

Ken walks to Samantha puts his hands on her shoulder and kisses her forehead.

It would kill me if anything happened to you. You're my only daughter.

SAMANTHA

I can take care of myself. I have always done everything that you told me to do.

JEAN


I'm sorry, Samantha. But you are not safe by yourself. I wish it was different, but that's just the way it is.

Samantha walks to the table and picks up her backpack.

SAMANTHA

Come on, Cal, let's go.

Cal gets up, puts his plate in the sink, grabs his backpack, and walks with Samantha out the door.

EXt. neighborhood daytime

Samantha and Cal are walking to school

SAMANTHA

Why are they so scared for me? I have shown them time and time again that I can protect myself, but they just won't see it.

cal

I feel you. It is annoying to have to take you everywhere you need to go.

SAMANTHA

I know. It is so sexist that just because I am girl I have to depend on a boy to protect me.

Here is another version of the beginning of my script. In this version Samantha is an out of control teen.


house - morning

Samantha walks through the door to her house drunk. She attempts to walk through the living room without waking anyone up. Samantha sees her mother, Jean, walk down the stairs.

jean

(yelling)

Where the hell have you been, Samantha?

samantha

(slurring her words)

Hi, mom. I am doin' fine. I just woke up early and decided to get my breakfast on.

JEAN

(yelling)

You're drunk!

SAMANTHA

No, mama. I'm just real tired.

Samantha tries to walk and fall down. She gets up and sits on the couch

jean

Stay here, I'm getting your father.

Samantha vomits on Jean. Jean just walks away.
