How To Restore 50's Style Formica Table

UNFINISHED Unfinished, Part 1, a story without a name. Prome


This script was a request for a fellow film school, for his thesis. They chose to remake a previous version, so this script was unfinished. I share with you the first scenes, which are reviewed, but not the final versions, since I never carry them out;

INT. PRINT ROOM - DAY


An old basement room improvised impressions, equipped with a few modern printing machinery. It seems illegal.

One of the printers starts long color covers of a book whose title is "MY VISION". The chart is the drawing of shield Argentina, the stick with his hands. The author is "John KRASS."

One of the covers are printed badly. An elderly man in overalls, throw away the lid.

Another person picks up the lid of the trash.


INT. Lobbying. EDITORIAL OFFICE - DAY

Juan, forty-odd years, jeans and blue sweater, walks through the desks that serve as offices. He was furious note. In the hand carries the defective lid. Some employees look up sheepishly.

Dora, skirt to the knees and neck provocative, he stands in the way, carrying a folder with papers.

DORA

John, you got me to sign ...

Juan seeks elusive, but runs into the folder. Dora roles will fall to the ground. Stoops with efforts to collect them. John stops and reconsiders. Tries to help but it's too late, Dora has collected the papers and ignoring it completely removed.

quieter John walks into the office of the back of the room, the only independent. He stops at the door bearing the words "Chief Editor" below says "Ricardo Mosquera. Breathe deeply.


INT. EDITOR'S OFFICE - DAY


behind a desk, in which there is only one notebook, the Richard, the Chief Editor. Has the same age as John. Completely gray, except for some dark. Clean-shaven and properly dressed in a suit of cheap.

Lee colorful magazine, replete with images of teenagers. Moisten a finger on his tongue and turns the same page.

Juan goes quietly into the office. Ricardo is frightened and hides the magazine under the desk. Juan smiled falsely. Hide in your back cover defective.

RICARDO

(anger)

Which is it?

JUAN

was going to ask same.

(takes seat)

RICARDO

strike! Hit the damn door crazy ...

Juan makes chewing gum. Supports with a sharp blow the lid on the desktop.

RICARDO

(looking at the cover)

quinchiquientas times We discussed this ... I could not, sorry ... but we have to sell.

Juan takes a quiet approach.

JUAN

understand, my book does not sell ... Shit why would I write? If my books do not sell ...

Editor looking for something in the notebook. Take a brisk double-click on the mousse and pipe up the phone.

RICARDO

edit it will not be so.

JUAN

(ironically)

thought gave me a hand for being a friend of yours.

RICARDO

(on phone)

Dori, bring me what I printed in four.

(hangs up, John)

Believe me, it was unanimous decision ...

Dora enters with a sheet. It is given to the editor and removed completely ignoring John.

JUAN

Mughal is to seek to share their ideals with someone ...

RICARDO

Did you read the back?

JUAN

What was wrong with the original?

(sarcasm)

"Democracy does not bear a title like that?

RICARDO

better not have read ... In a week you have to sign books at the fair.

JUAN

do I doubt ...

RICARDO

evening, and tell the media that you were ... and if you want to continue editing your stuff you have to do it.

JUAN

Unless you put the real cover, I will not go.

RICARDO

Juancho Look, as a friend tell you to do pay attention to what I will say as editor ... your top is, aggressive, lying, among other things, people will hate, therefore I am going to break the eggs to me.

JUAN

I do not understand the point ... unless you have changed the content is not warranted.

RICARDO

People do not read ... Are ornaments in a library, when not under a cabinet instead of a leg.

The editor brought the sheet placed next to the cover Dora final book. This sheet is the picture of Argentine coat, instead of cane is a spine. The title of this cover is "OH swear to ... DIE. "

RICARDO

(accommodating caps to John)

Get in neutral and tell me, what book you buy you?

Juan says "OH swear to Glory ... DIE. "

RICARDO

Are you in neutral? ... Now make yourself in the place of the Peronist ...

JUAN

Want me shoot you?

RICARDO

Imagine then, when reading the first page ... I had to put three pages of statements by philosophers to entertain the

(serving the sentence)

" My father was killed Peronism"


JUAN

What's wrong with telling the truth?

Editor John grabs the cap and makes a bun with anger.


RICARDO

Juan What truth?! If all you know is the little stories of your mom! You have to accept it, we Peronist country, or are for, or are in favor.

JUAN

Before talking about my old ...

(He stops and points to Editor)

if not for her you would have fucked you hungry.

RICARDO

Another of the tales of your mommy. You know ... your old mine convinced that I play with you, because you did not have a fucking friend, and your mom did not want nor cure ... thanks I'm still your friend, but do not publish or Videla.

JUAN

public Vos me something else, do not think I'm a boludito mas ... but, like all these democratitos, do not have eggs to take charge of your quilombos.

Editor supports the roll of paper on the table and hands it to John.

RICARDO

(calming)

take your shit somewhere else ...

... and you are not going to forget that you have to go to the show, is next week.

John grabs the muffin paper and save it. He moves toward the door.

JUAN

Obligame ...

Juan comes out and slams the door.

RICARDO

Motherfucker, you're ...


EXT. LIBRARY - MORNING

MAN (VO)

... a gorilla will participate in Big Brother, what tulle? ...

is winter. A hessian cloth banner that read "Book Fair" poster hangs bearing the name of the library, "Fearless." A police officer guards the entrance.

BACK TO DISCOVER ...

a newsstand.

A man reads the newspaper while talking to the seller.

MAN

are crazy ... things they do for raitins ...

The big news headline is: "Rape of minors detained." Below the title is a photo editor.



The scenes continue, and later Juan discovers a truth about his past, which makes him see that his life armed estuvoi based on lies. Although he discovers what it hits, will not change his nature, because even though you know that his whole life was a lie, he believed in it, and who he is because of it.

apologize for the failure of the format, I could not find the back so that it properly.

Thank you for visiting the blog. Matthew Lo Cascio
