Sc1: A warm, sunny day in the inner city of Sydney. Two rival families, each behind their shiny
black cars firing aimlessly towards each other. The license plate of one car reads MACRAY.
Crouched behind is a 50 yr old husband and wife, their 20 something son and male cousin.
License plate of other car reads WALSHE. Crouched behind are husband and wife, their 20
something daughter and her fiancé
Sc2: Renee, her fiancé and parents are walking into their house
Behind MACRAY car
FATHER: (talking to son) Now Matt, you gotta get over this sensitive new age guy thing.(hands
him a gun) Now aim for a head, any head, and pull the trigger. Ok? Can you handle that?
MATT: Sure (quietly) I guess.
SLOWMO: Matt looks over the hood. Daughter of Walshse's car does so at the same time.(Anywhere
For You >BSB
Matt quickly ducks as a bullet whizzes past his head. He turns to his cousin.
MATT: Hey Mike, who is that?
MIKE: What (confused) her?
MATT: (nods frantically) Yeah her.
MIKE: You don't wanna get messed up with her mate. Believe me, she's not worth it.
MATT: (getting annoyed) Mike, what's her name?
MIKE: If you must know...
MATT: (stressed out) YES! I MUST KNOW! I MUST KNOW NOW!
MIKE: Geez, if you must know, her name is Renee.
MATT: (looks back at Renee and whispers) Renee.
MOTHER: Renee, go and spend some time with Josh.
Renee shakes her head behind Josh's back. Mouth's 'no' repeatedly. The look of horror
slapped on her face. Her mother gives her a stern look
RENEE: (annoyed) Oh, all right. (Looks at Josh and mumbles) You better behave
Josh smiles stupidly and nods
RENEE: Come on (mumbles) twit
Josh dumbly follows Renee into the backyard. It's huge. Bigger than a football field. Renee
heads towards what looks like a stable. Josh walks into the door after Renee slams it. After
recollecting himself he jogs in, Renee (riding her dirtbike) rides out nearly over him, smiling.
JOSH: Hey Renee (climbs onto the 2nd bike) wait a sec!
Revs up the engine and speeds after her. She does everything possible to lose him (rides over a
fountain-he rides through it, rides under a branch-he rides around it) Unfortunately she runs
out of gas at the small lake filled with fish, ducks and swans. She pushes the bike to a nearby
tree and sits in the shade. Josh turns off his bike and pushes it towards her. He sits next to her
trying to get closer.
JOSH: So, when do ya wanna have the wedding?
Josh smiles over eagerly
RENEE: Look, I told you before, I'm not marrying you.
JOSH: (confused) But...
RENEE: No buts. Josh, it's not because of you...much...I'm just not ready to...commit (VO: to an idiot)
to anybody. Do you understand?
Josh smiles cheesily
RENEE: You haven't been listening have you?
Josh sits ashamed, bottom lip trembling, hangs his head in shame
RENEE: Look (Josh twiddles his thumbs, she shakes him) Look at me (he looks to her chest and
smiles) Hello? My eyes are up here. Hey! (slaps him)
JOSH: (surprised) What? What d'ya do that for?
RENEE: I'm not marrying you, okay?
JOSH: Okay. I understand. (VO: (singing) going to the chapel and we're gonna get married...)
CUT TO: Nearby, behind a hedge, Matt spies on Renee through binoculars. A smile rises on his face
MATT: (quietly) Renee
CUT TO: Renee looks at Josh
RENEE: (VO: He hasn't been listening.)
Renee looks at his dirtbike. Raises her eyebrow
RENEE: Josh, can you count all the fish for me?
Josh nods enthusiastically
RENEE: Good boy
Josh runs over to the lake and starts counting continuously getting stuck at 7 then starting
over again. Renee, meanwhile, pushes his dirtbike away then rides away. Josh-still counting.
CUT TO: Matt looks on
MATT: (VO: Hey, where's she going?)
Matt rides around the hedge on his scooter following Renee. He nearly catches up to her until
2 hands grab him. His scooter bashes into a tree. The Walshe's security men throw Matt and
his now trashed scooter over the wall.
MATT: (unfazed) Renee
Begins to walk/limp home carrying his scooter to a hopper bin then chucks it. Limps home still
smiling.
