new 5th draft

KICK OFF!

Ep.1 Ser.1 – Jamie.

(Int. JAMIE arrives at football training in his Mercedes. Jamie is a Caucasian 24 year old male, with a Rolex watch and diamond ear studs. He is wearing a custom made Gucci suit, carrying a professional briefcase, steps out and walks towards the ground, walking past dozens of less expensive and less flash cars)

SCENE 1

(Jamie is the last person to arrive at the meeting room; everyone stares for a while, as Jamie looks troubled)

Jamie

Alright lads?

(Huge cheer and all team surround him)

(Jamie appears caught off guard, and does not know what is occurring)

(BARRY rises through out the crowd of suit-wearing team, with an expression of surprise. Barry Is singled out from the team as he is the only one in the football strip, and rushes over to jamie as he is his closest companion)

Barry

(Whilst thrusting and grinding)

Congratulations mate! I see you have finally got on the score sheet!

(All team sport a cheeky cheer)

All Team

WHHEEEERRYYYYYYYY!!!!

Jamie

Get Lost!

(still looking troubled, shrugs off his jacket and walks towards the bar)

(They all crowd around Jamie)

(TERRY, is the recently transferred legend at the football club, due to recent troubles within the squad he had to moved from the team. He holds a vengeful grudge and because of his compelling stature and chiselled goatee, he overpowers the nature of the team.)

Terry

Oi Oi! Whats with the boat race, I thought you’d be up in adams cause yer avin a little chavvy!

(Jamie draws a nickel plated .44 magnum handgun from his waist, fires towards the camera – back into the crowd of players. When the shot fires, the screen shoots to black, and a thud from the sound of a body droping to the floor, Ext.)

SCENE 2

(Int. Camera pans from meeting room to changing room, all the team are mocking Jamie)

Terry

I’m surprised you actually had it in ya!

Jamie

Oh thanks/

Terry

Is what you should have said to her!

All Team

WEEEEHHHHEEEEEEYYYY!!!

(Manager enters and everybody retreats to their stations, a hushed tone is ensued)

(MIKE, the team manager, is a middle aged rotund bearded Caucasian male, whom has a joyous outlook on life and is serious when it comes to football. Usually found in sruffed suits and training gear.)

Mike

ALRIGHT LADS, settle down now, we’ve got a lot of work to do today, and we can’t have this foolishness getting in the way…now (continues rambling)

(Whilst mike is talking, Nick leans over to Jamie and begins to whisper something)

(NICK, is the recent addition to the squad, moving from REAL BETIS, his real name is, Nichail Todorov (SERBIAN), and has a cunning plot against the protagonist, Jamie. He has a scar that strikes through his right eye, and has multiple tribal tattoo’s around his body)

Nick

You got it?

Jamie

(looking down, suspicious) No, I told you not yet, I’m doing my best.

Nick

I told you three days, it’s been four

Jamie

I can’t give you something I haven’t got

Nick

(begins to get closer to Jamie’s face, and intimidates him extremely)

Then you shouldn’t borrow something you can’t pay back. Now you know where you can get it, you know where to drop it off, and you know when to do it, so I suggest you do it tonight, or for every day your late, I’ll take a finger from your mother’s hand, if I run out fingers I’ll take toes, and if I run out of toes I can/

Mike

OI! Are you listening or what?

Nick

(only nicks attention is directed at Mike, but he still can talk to Jamie)

Say you’re sorry

Jamie

Sorry Boss

Mike

(To Jamie) you. Outside. Now.

(Camera pans to the corridor, and finds Mike and Jamie discussing)

Mike

What the fuck was all that ab

out in there? You looked as white as a shite.

Jamie

I know boss, it’s just that.../

Mike

I mean, I know you’re not the kind of sort to say boo to a goose, but Jesus lad, it looks like the goose has crawled up your backside and stayed there!

Jamie

If you’ll just let me explain gaffer

Mike

Go on then son, I’m all ears

Jamie

Well you see, I have this predicament, and if I’m not out of it anytime soon then I’m done here. I’m done in this club, the career, the country, just I have to get out of it/

Mike

Whoa! Whoa! lad calm down, tell me what’s happened.

Jamie

I can’t boss, I just can’t

Mike

If that Nick fella is giving you any grief, just let me know son and he’s out, you came through the academy anyways and he’s only on loan from Real Betis or whatever the fuck you wanna call ‘em

Jamie

No, it’s not, I mean, it wasn’t, just, can I miss today sir? I promise I’ll put 200 in tomorrow?

Mike

Go on lad get out of here, make sure you’re alright, in fact have the week off, I’ll see at the game on Saturday

Jamie

Cheers Boss

(Jamie runs down the corridor and slams through the fire exit doors, one door falls closed, sound of American tyres screeching; close up of Mike, showing a face of disappointment)

Shot from inside changing room, all players are conversing except Nick, who awaits the door.

The door opens and in walks mike

(Mike walks slowly to middle of the room, whilst he and nick exchange dirty looks, a short silence follows)

Mike

(In a disheartened tone) alright lads, let’s get out there.

Ext.

SCENE 3

(Int. Still shot of Jamie’s house, re car drives past, panning the camera shot into the front room)

(Alex; a 22 year old woman who is Jamie girlfriend, is asleep in the living room, covered in an array of trash on the sofa)

Jamie

Right, up

Alex

(jumping up and bouncy)

What baby? Ooh you were good last night!

Jamie

We got a fucking issue on our hands

Alex

(hands on approach to Jamie)

Oooh I love it when you’re angry!

Jamie

Just shut the fuck up alright! I need some space, go clean something, or have sex with something, (increasingly getting agitated) or better yet just FUCK OFF.

Alex

Fine, I might just go to my mums today or I might go for a swim I’m not sure, what’s your mum doing today baaaabe?

Jamie

Its fuck all to do with you, now just leave me alone.

Alex

Oh. Well is this about me telling the team that I’m pregnant?

Jamie

(slowly looks round to Alex in a dumbfounded expression)

Wha, you did what?

Alex

Yeah, Nick came round earlier, looking for you, so I said you went out already

Jamie

What happened then?

Alex

He just left

Jamie

Hang on; why you would tell him you’re pregnant

Alex

Cause I am? Stoopid.

Jamie

Alex

Alex

Jamie

Jamie

Be quiet for fucks sake, just get in the car.

Alex

But where will we go?

Jamie

Leave that to me.

                          (Shot to Black)           

SCENE 4

(pan of a golden seaside, with a long shot of Jamie and alex walking away from the camera in an intimate posture.

Alex stops and looks out on to the horizon, Jamie compels her to carry on, but she rejects)

Jamie

Come on, we’ve got to keep walking.

Alex

But, can we not see where that would take us?

Jamie

How would we get there?

Alex

Dunno

Jamie

Well its ridiculous, come on, weve not got much time

Alex

Okay, your right...again (with subtle anger)

Jamie

Look im sorry, but I got us into this mess, please don’t stop me from trying to get us out?

Alex

Jamie
