I've been writing some plays here's an excerpt from a one act. It's still a work in progress.
Scene 2 - Jim and Will discussing about how they
are going to convince the workers they’re in charge.
Lights on
(Will and Jim enter)
Will: All I’m saying is that they’re not
listening to us.
Jim: Think positively Will. This is only the first day Mr. Davis is
gone. We’ll get everything figured out
by the end.
Will: You be positive, I’ll be realistic.
(John enters)
Jim: All we need to do is convince the workers
that we’re in charge.
Will: How?
Jim: Uh. . . We could get one of those big
enforcer guys. They’d be convinced for
sure.
Will: You watch too many movies.
Jim: Hey, if it works for the movies why can’t
it work here?
John: Could just leave them alone.
Will: Leave who alone?
John: The workers. They’ve been trained, they know what to do.
Will: Can’t do that. We’re supposed to make sure quota is met,
everything’s on schedule, and that the workers don’t kill each other.
John: They get along.
Will: Yeah. . . When they’re being watched.
John: They’re not fighting right now.
Will: Because the fact that Mr. Davis is gone
hasn’t sunk in yet.
(Jim is playing with his phone and suddenly
Beethoven’s 5th Symphony rings out)
Jim: Oh sorry.
John: You haven’t been listening to a word we’ve
been saying.
Jim: So?
John: This is a seriously stressful matter.
Jim: No, when Bale was cast as batman that was a
seriously stressful matter. This is
nothing compared to that.
John: You didn’t like batman?
Jim: No, I did.
It was stressful because I had a hard time believing Christan could
measure up to Clooney.
John: That batman was pathetic.
Jim: So are you.
John: You need help.
Jim: You need a rain check
John: Would you just be serious for five
seconds!?
Jim: Most certainly. . . (Jim’s quiet for five
seconds). I want a cookie.
John: Don’t you take anything serious?
Jim: Yes. Lots of things. . . Just not you.
John: Don’t make me set you straight.
Will: We’ll have none of that.
John: Don’t look at me it’s all him.
Will: Anyway.
What should we do to convince the workers?
John: I say leave ‘em be. (Sarcastically) It’s not like they could blow
something up in the span of a week.
Jim: Hey!
That gives me an idea. Come on Will lets
go.
(Jim runs off stage)
Will: Let’s go see what he’s up to. . .
(Will and John exit)
