Scene 1.

OK, a while back my bro and I decided to write a script. We didn't exactly finish. Or start. Actually that's a lie, we started, and here's the proof:

INT. HOME OF STEINS (party scene)

Party scene. People are drinking, eating, boisterous laughter in background. We’re in an upper middle class home of the Steins, family friends of the Brody’s. Rob and Matt Brody watch in disgust as Rick Stein and his younger brother Dan work the room, laughing falsely, smiling and winking, schmoozing to the best of their abilities. Our heroes sit in a corner taking it all in.

ROB BRODY is the oldest of the Brody clan. Smart, ambitious, with a sarcastic wit. MATT, still in college, is a few years younger, just as smart, though more outgoing. The two brothers have a strong bond, and believe in each other.

Rob: Can you believe these guys?

Matt: What, you mean the tag team from hell? Check it out: Rick’s obviously the go to guy, but when he runs out of steam, in jumps Danny boy with his favourite anecdote. When Rick’s finally thought of something marginally entertaining to say, he takes over again. (camera pans to show this…)

Rob: They’re like a pack of fucking hyenas.

Matt: Actually, I think a pack implies more than two.

ROB gives MATT a look that tells him that’s the end of that train of thought, takes a drink from his plastic cup and looks at it disapprovingly.

Rob: What’s with these plastic cups anyway? I’m 24 and I still feel like I’m at the kiddie table.

Matt: (Pretend coughs and looks over his shoulder. Camera frame widens, to show the pair surrounded by small children who are staring at the two, who are obviously at the kiddies table. One small boy is staring at Matt and smiling sweetly. Matt tries to make a funny face, the kid gets scared and runs off screaming. There is a moments pause, before Matt and Rob crack up)

OK, there's more. If I weren't so afraid of some studio exec coping it and presenting it as their own, I would eagerly post it all. That being said, I will present the next couple of scenes in the next week. Let me know what you think. Points for guessing who the characters are based on.

cheers.
