Preliminary Task Script

INT.MANSION.DAY.

PROTAGONIST walks to door, opens it, walks through and enters ANTAGONISTS' office. The ANTAGONIST is clearly angry. The PROTAGONIST sheepishly sits down. There is silence; the PROTAGONIST is sweating and clearly anxious which soon deteriorates into terror as the ANTAGONIST continues the silence and holds his stare.

Antagonist: Morning Johnson

Protagonist:(Quivering) Morning Boss

Antagonist: Do you know why I've called you in here?

Protagonist: (Stammering) Uh-um-ah cos I lost the shipment boss

ANTAGONIST laughs

Antagonist: No...... (Shaking head) Oh no, you are sadly mistaken, Johnson

PROTAGONIST stammers out an unintelligible sound in an effort to speak

Antagonist: No, you see, you've been working here for six months and, I've only had two shipments back from you, and on my watch, that's not good enough.

Protagonist: (Stammering) Oh-uh-I-I'm-I'm sorry boss. It-It wont happen again. The third one w-wasn't my f-fault

Antagonist: You see Johnson, your lucky I'm in a good mood today, so I'm gonna give you, one last chance. So if I get another screw up from you again, I'm gonna break your legs, drag you to my warehouse where I'll have your family locked up, then, I'm gonna have them chopped up and fed to my dogs while your watching, then, I'm gonna drench you with gasoline and I'm gonna fuckin set you on fire and I promise you Johnny I'll be listening with joy at your painful screams, oh yes..... So, are we clear?

Protagonist: (Clearly Terrified) Uh-Uh- Yes sir, of course boss. W-won't happen again, I promise

Antagonist: Good...... NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE!

PROTAGONIST gets up and scrambles out of the office. Scene cuts with the shut of the door.
