Script Draft

Just a few changes here and there, nothing much, Minhui compiled quite gd alr:

Scene 1
Setting: Dark Alley with garbage bags, rubbish, cans.
(Yijun walks along a dark alley, suddenly loud footsteps are heard.) Jean: (slaps Yijun) You seriously don’t look attractive, unlike us. (laughs) I don’t see what Dexter sees in you. Oh whatever, that’s why he sent us here – he doesn’t want you anymore. (laughs and kicks Yi Jun to the ground)
Yijun: (Falls and scream.)
Joan: No wonder he wants us to settle you. Don’t blame us— blame it on your looks. Yes you might be young, but the rest? Hah. He’s over you, so give up, useless thing. (laughs)
(Continue kicking, slapping and punching).
(miscarriage) Yijun: (Miserable and desperate) Why? Why is he doing this to me? He told me he would love me forever, and that I was his only one. He lied to me, no, to us. Why did he send them to do this to me? No, no, wait, he loves me right? Why aren’t you talking to me? Tell me! No one wants me…

(yijun leaves stage)

Scene 2
Setting: Streets
(Alex, Ben, Charlie and Dexter with Joan and Jean, laughing) Dexter: Hey darlings, what do you want to have for dinner? Chocolates, cakes or me?
(ABC laughs)
Jean: (smiles) Aww. Look how sweet he is. Don’t you think, Joan?
Joan: Of course, he’s our dear darling! Aww, why don’t we go to the newly-opened restaurant downtown? It is so well furnished, and definitely matches my elegance, don’t you all think? (laughs) And the dishes are so good looking, like you! (pats Dexter on the back)
Rest: (laughs) Why not, let’s go.

(Yirong appears at the side)
Yirong: (glares, from the side) How dare he?
Alex: Hey, who’s that girl anyway?
(Yirong disappears backstage, all turn back and stop)
Ben: What girl? You are girl-crazy. I don’t see anyone, you must be thinking about girls. Right, Dexter?
Dexter: Well, if you are as hot as me, Alex, you will not be thinking, but HAVE girls beside you.
(Alex blushes uncomfortably)
Charlie: Hah look, Alex is blushing! (makes fun)
Jean: Come on, let’s go, or there won’t be nice seats anymore.
(All start walking, but Alex turns to look again and frown before going off.)

Scene 3 Yirong: (heavily and angrily) How dare he? He landed Yijun in hospital, and still has the mood to fool around? I will teach him a lesson, for my sister.
Katie: (Comes out and touches Yirong on her shoulder).
Yirong: (jumps and turns around) What are you doing? Are you following me?

Katie: I…
Yirong: (Cuts off) Anyway, I have his schedule. He eating at the restaurant downtown and he is going to the pub where I work tonight…
Katie: Look Yirong, I know you are angry over Yijun, but you have to stop all this before it’s all too late.
Yirong: (angrily) YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND DO YOU? He was the one who got my sister into trouble. If not Yijun would have graduated and become a teacher, it was her dream. He ruined her life!
Katie: But you have to understand. You should take care of your sister, not STALKING PEOPLE. Doing this does not turn back time, it’ll just land you in jail. Do you think Yijun will be happy to see you in jail?
Yirong: (softly) He has to pay, hasn’t he?
Katie: (slowly) Yes, he has to, but you don’t have to do this. You still have us, your friends…
Yirong: No, if you were my friend you would quit stopping me. I have to do this.
Katie: Yirong…
Yirong: (cuts off) No. Mind you own business. I have work to do so, just go away.
(Katie leaves sadly.)

Scene 4
(At the pub)
Jean: Ooh I love this pub! It is so crowded and wild.

Joan: See, I told you so.

Alex: Hey let’s go into the dance pool.

All: Sure, why not?

Dexter: Hey guys, I’m going to get a drink.

Ben: See you over there later…. and yo, don’t go hitting on girls eh!

Dexter walks off

Dexter: Can I have a Scotch Whisky, pretty?

Yirong: Yeah, sure.
(To herself): Hah, this is my chance. Luck is on my side, he came looking for trouble on his own.
(secretly smiles)

Yirong: Anything else you need?
Dexter: Brandy maybe... but wait, this one taste's weird... [points to drink]
Yirong: Clear your mind up a bit eh, it's the usual.
Dexter: Damn, a weird sensation is running through me - you better come clean with me!
Yirong: Easy, it's just only the beginning... OF MY REVENGE! [evil laughs]
Dexter: Face it; you're never going to get away with this.
[groans in pain]
Yirong: Go to hell, you think I care?
Dexter: Hey are you sick? I didn't do anything to offend you!
Yirong: I think you're greatly mistaken. You ALMOST KILLED MY SISTER!
[from calm at the beginning to hysterical at the words in caps]
Dexter: Just a minute! I didn't do anything; Who are you? Who is your sister? Argh, I will deal with you later. [holds stomach]

[Dexter staggers out of pub, A,B,C engrossed in dancing/playing so never notice Dexter]
Scene 5
Stalker: Finally, I’ve gotten my revenge. It’s no use saying anything now… No wonder they say revenge always tastes sweet. Hahaha

Alex, Ben, Charlie: What went wrong? What did he do to deserve to die? Why??

Stalker: My sister was not the only victim; He was the one who caused all those innocent girls all those pain and suffering.

Alex, Ben, Charlie: Were we wrong? What have I done? What have we all done?

Stalker: He promised her everlasting love, to take care of her forever. Forever? There is no forever in this world! There is no love in this world.

Alex, Ben, Charlie: He’s gone now. But what cannot be removed, are the stains, the stains of shame, the stains of wrongdoing.

Yeah, I emailed this copy too. Thats all.

Scene 1
Setting: Dark Alley with some garbage bags.
(Yijun walks along a dark alley, suddenly loud footsteps are heard.)

Jean: (slaps Yijun) You seriously don’t look attractive, like us. (laughs) I don’t see what Dave/Dexter sees in you. Anyway, he sent us here as he doesn’t want you anymore.
Yijun: (Falls and scream.)
Joan: No wonder he has us here to settle you. Don’t blame us— blame it on your looks. Yes you might be young, but the rest? Hah. He has gotten over you, so give up, young girl.
(Continue kicking, slapping and punching).
(Hanzhi can u add the missing part here?)
(Ambulance Sound)
Yijun: (Miserable and desperate) Why? Why did he do this to me? He used to say he love me and that I was his only one. He lied to me, no, to us. Why did he send his girlfriends to do this to me? No, no, he loves me right? Why aren’t you talking to me? I no longer know why.
