my screenplay (but not really)

1 INT. INSIDE A DARK SINISTER LOOKING CAR –SUNSET 1

It's sunset. There are three guys sitting inside a slab with tinted windows. Two black guys are sitting in the front seat, while a white guy occupies the back seat. It's quiet. Slowly the DRIVER turns and hands the WHITE GUY an Uzi pistol.

WHITE GUY
*Whistles slowly* Damn. We can do some hell
of a lot of damage with this.

DRIVER
You. You can do a hell of a lot of damage with
that.

DRIVER turns back around and starts the engine. He looks at WHITE GUY in rearview mirror.

DRIVER
You ready?

WHITE GUY
Hell ya, let’s get this fool.

2 INT. HOME OF MARQUIS ANDERSON 2

A young GIRL is silently staring out the front window into the street, a solitary tear makes its way down her face, and she hurriedly wipes it away. The camera pans in to focus on the goose bumps on her skin. She shivers involuntarily and turns at the sound of footsteps. The camera turns with her, so that you never see her face.

MARQUIS ANDERSON
You have to stop worrying about him. He’ll be fine.

GIRL
I can’t help it Mark, I just can’t stop thinking that
he’s out there somewhere about to hurt someone.

GIRL stands and walks over to hug MARQUIS, he silently comforts her.

MARQUIS ANDERSON
Hey, you’re so cold.

MARQUIS takes off his green hoodie and hands it to her. She slips it over her head, and lets the hood hang. The camera’s lens is focused on the face of Marquis, in this scene you never see the entirety of the GIRL’S face. She turns to walk out the door, putting her hand on the knob, and on second thought reaches back to cover her face with the hood, casting an ominous shadow across her face.

GIRL (turning)
Thanks for everything Mark, you’ve always been
there for me.

GIRL runs back to give MARQUIS a light kiss on the cheek. She strokes his face with her hand and walks out the door. A shot is heard, and GIRL falls to her knees. MARQUIS runs to GIRL as a slab with tinted windows screeches off. Suddenly the slab stops a few meters away from the house. MARQUIS runs out the back door fearing for his life, leaving the GIRL. A WHITE GUY gets out of car and runs to GIRL. The slab drives off. WHITE GUY comes up to GIRL and camera shows his eyes widen in shock and despair. He falls to his knees and cups the GIRLS face in his hands as he begins to cry.

i really thought it was good. It's real complicated to write a hood story now and days but i thought it was real good. I liked how you showed fear with love. It was good.

i like that it is so short, yet still contains a lot of action and defining moments. i would like to know how the white guy and the girl are related, though. that's the one question i've got.

It was a very good story... You should have described the White guys relationship with the girl and why she was crying.
