Project Three - First draft script

INTERVIEW ONE

DETECTIVE walks in to FLOAT FRANCINE and INTERGER IVY nervously sitting in a dark room.

FRANCINE and IVY are fraternal twins who are both quite odd. IVY has a tendency to shout her answers and FRANCINE is always correcting IVY with the exact number. FRANCINE never looks at the camera.

DETECTIVE

INTERVIEW TWO

BOOLEAN BARRY (BB)

BARRY is a sly fellow; he doesn’t give anything away too easily and is very vague.

DETECTIVE

Whoa partner. Alright so… Boolean Barry eh?

True.

DETECTIVE

DETECTIVE

Ha ha. Okay so FF and II said you left the spaceship at 4.07?

BOOLEAN BARRY

True.

DETECTIVE

Right, right. And what method of transportation did you use? We found a hover board, but then a couple of streets down we also found a Pegasus tied up.

BOOLEAN BARRY

DETECTIVE

What? I can’t hear you son. Was it the Pegasus?

BOOLEAN BARRY

False.

DETECTIVE

Oh. Well damn we’re stuck with a Pegasus now. I mean that could be a lot of fun. I wonder how much he’ll go for. Uhh getting sidetracked.

BOOLEAN BARRY

True.

DETECTIVE

Hey now. So who was with you at the time?

BOOLEAN BARRY

DETECTIVE

Right. Damn you and the other two don’t speak much.

BOOLEAN BARRY

True.

INTERVIEW THREE

STRING SADIE

SADIE is a very chatty lady. She comes across as confident but it is obvious she is being overly chatty to hide her nerves.

DETECTIVE

String Sadie, the cleaning lady. (Chuckles). Now String Sadie, can you please talk me through the evening?

STRING SADIE

You know. Well, ok, well we went to the hospital at first to see if anyone was there but we didn’t end up knowing anyone, which, you know, was good because the hospital is bad unless, you know, you work there, unless you, like, hate your job or something. Anyway! Then we decided to just go for a walk and eventually we got hungry so we, you know, wanted some food, so I was like, “can we get some food?” and they were like nodding their heads, so I was like, “Pizza!” so we went to the pizza place and, oh that’s what its called! Pizza Place like that. We went to the PizzaPlace together, you know, anyway. We got Pizzas, I had sauce on mine! So good! Yum. Anyway okay. So I wanted to swim and they were like, well, they said, you know. HA! So we went to the beach and I swam and it was like really cold then I had an ice-cream and a beer and I thought I saw a dolphin but in retrospect I don’t think I did… where was I? Oh! Yeah! This is great! This is the funniest bit. Well not the Funniest but, well… What?

You know, okay. Argh, stop interrogating me! We did it okay. You know. (Exhales and says Fuck.)
