Preliminary Exercise Script


This is the script I wrote and formatted, for our preliminary exercise. The idea of this scene, is that a teenage girl is fearful that she may be pregnant, and therefore goes to see the college councillor for advice.
 
EXT. HARROW COLLEGE – DAY

EVA nervously sits in the councillors’ chair, absentmindedly fondling the button on her sleeve, staring at the floor

EVA

I just don’t know what to do. I’m so scared

Eva runs her hands through her hair, cupping her face in her hands.  SHERRY places a caring hand on Eva’s shoulder.

SHERRY

You need to take a test, and soon.

The fear in Eva’s eyes is evident as her eyes flick upwards, making contact with Sherry’s. Sherry holds out a pregnancy test to Eva.

EVA

I can’t, I don’t want to know!

Eva’s voice breaks as she abruptly gets up from her chair, swiftly heading for the door. Her hand is holding the door handle.

SHERRY

This won’t just go away

Eva walks out the door, slamming it as she goes. Sherry stares at the door, pregnancy test still in hand, cupping her neck in her hand. Frown lines are visible on her forehead.
