Thiller Script

Shot 1:
Dim light, small lamp on in the room. Streetlight from outside through the window.
Simon rummaging through a chest of draws, fast and hurried. Finds a gold watch that looks expensive.
Simon:
(whistles)
S*** man!
Simon stuffs the watch in his pocket.

Shot 2:
Crew standing on corner outside, glancing at their watches. Street lamps light the street dimly in some places.
Crew member 1:
(moaning)
Pfft, takes his time don't he.

Crew leader:
(Impatiently and slightly worried tone)
I know man, what's the kid doing in there?

Crew member 2:
(Impatiently)
I'm not waitin for this s*** much longer, that geezer will be home soon. I told you we should have gone in with him.

Crew leader:
(Quickly cuts into last comment, quite loud)
And risk us getting caught? Nah you idiot!

Shot 3:
Simon in the room, rummaging now in the wardrobe, he drops a load of boxes on the floor. Dim lamp still lighting the room.
Simon:
(Cautiously, worried, uneasily)
F***!

He searches through the boxes, looking for more valubles. His phone rings.

Shot 4:
Close up of the phone, which shows "Mum" on the screen.

Simon:
(Talking across mobile phone, anxious, trying to finish conversation quickly)
Hi mum...yeah...i'll be home soon...ok...love you, bye.

Shot 5:
He hangs up and sighs with his head in his hands. He starts putting the boxes back.

Shot 6:
Mans legs on the pavement, shoes clicking and cane on the floor. Streetlamps light the feet faintly.

Shot 7:
Simon rummaging in more draws, slower, picking up small things and putting them in his pocket - mainly jewellery, dim lamp still lighting the room. He see's an expensive ring that looks special but puts it back into the back of the drawer.

Shot 8:
Shot of the crew hanging out, with the old man walking up in the distance. The crew notice the man and watch him wearily.

Crew member 3:
(Worried)
Is that the old geezer?

The old man turns into a driveway.

Crew member 2:
(Shouting, worried)
F***! thats him.

Crew leader:
(Realising it is the man's house)
I'm outta here, f*** the kid!

Shot 9:
The crew starts running away from the street, in and out of streetlamp shadows, they run to the end of the road, and split up, footsteps and yelling "bye" and swearing.

Shot 10:
Close up of the old mans feet walking up to the door, and stepping infront of the door. Keys jingling and being put into the door.

Shot 11:
Mid shot of the old man's body, footsteps and keys unlocking the door, walking into the house, streelamp light washes into the hallway.

Shot 12:
Bottom midshot of the old man walking in from outside, door nearly shut, turning on a dim light.

Shot 13:
Simon hears a bang from downstairs and looks around and freezes with a scared look on his face. The lamp is still on.

Simon:
(whispers, anxious, frightened)
S***!

Shot 14:
Old man hanging his coat and hat, still no veiw of his face, this is from behind, weak light of the hallway prevents any main features being shown.

Old man:
(Annoyed tone)
B***** kids.
