Opening scene of Parts. Parts is the working title. I've
got a new one I don't really want to reveal yet. The screenplay
formatting wasn't preserved in the cut and paste but here's the first
scene for those interested.
EXT. QUAINT HOUSE
Nice small house like the ones in L.A.
INT. QUAINT HOUSE
The tubwater is running.
A WOMAN disrobes, enters and starts bathing and relaxing.
SOMEONE in POV enters the house, walks through it and stops
at the cracked door of the bathroom. His footsteps are hoof
like but subtle enough we don't think they're hooves.
The Woman hears something. Is nearly afraid.
Then she sniffs, recognizing a smell. She looks at the crack
in the door. And her fear is gone.
WOMAN
What do you want?
She waits for an answer and when there is none...
WOMAN (cont'd)
You might as well come in. I can
smell you a mile away.
He enters the bathroom and we see a red devil hand on the
door as smoke enters the bathroom
WOMAN (cont'd)
You really ought to do something
about that smell.
She stands up in the tub, and she is NOT happy.
WOMAN (cont'd)
We had a deal.
He just watches, in his pov still, as she starts rinsing off
slowly.
WOMAN (cont'd)
The deal was for you to get me a
role on a tv series. And you could
have my soul and I would get you
one soul per year for the rest of
my life.
She waits for him to say something, and when the he
doesn't...
WOMAN (cont'd)
But you didn't follow through. I
was only on that show for two
episodes.
She turns off the water and starts drying off.
WOMAN (cont'd)
And I'll be damned if I'm killing
anybody for two lousy episodes.
She puts lotion on her body. She winces as if the he smiled.
WOMAN (cont'd)
Don't say it. I know what I said.
"I'll be damned."
She continues with the lotion.
WOMAN (cont'd)
You really expect me to kill one
person a year for the rest of my
life for a lousy two episodes. Who
do you think you are?
She looks up at him and her face slowly loses its strength.
WOMAN (cont'd)
Oh, that's right. We both know who
you are?
She continues drying off.
WOMAN (cont'd)
You do don't you? You expect me to
kill people for you.
He moves toward her in pov. She backs away.
WOMAN (cont'd)
Wait. I'll make it up to you. I'll
do it. I'll do it. I'm only a day
late.
He keeps advancing.
She backs up.
WOMAN (cont'd)
No.
A tissue box catches fire.
She watches it.
WOMAN (cont'd)
I should've asked to be on for the
whole season.
A towel catches fire.
She starts getting scared.
WOMAN (cont'd)
Or even all the seasons.
Smoke floats up from below.
She looks down and sees the tub water boiling.
WOMAN (cont'd)
But you just had to put me on a
reality show.
