Final script
- 2. 2 FADE IN: SCENE 1 EXT – FOOTBALL PITCH (STANDS) MIDDAY 12:00PM JORDAN and JAMIE are two best friends who have been playing football together since they were kids. They both play for a Saturday league team with adults as they are both good at football. They play for their local Saturday league club in Tottenham. They are playing in their teams ground, the pitch is well looked after and the grounds man does a fairly good job considering its non-league football. The pitch has a rail around the outside with one red seated stand and one stand without seating for the away supporters. JORDAN and JAMIE both play up front for the team and often both start for the games. However, a text sent out to their squad from the manager PAUL is about to change everything for JORDAN. JAMIE (Shouting) Oi Jord come here, Paul’s sent the squad for the final on the group chat. JORDAN, looking confident, walks over to JAMIE who is sat down in the stand and they both look at the phone reading out the names on the team sheet. As they’re reading the team sheet, JORDAN walks away and turns around to JAMIE. JORDAN (Disheartened) Where’s my name then J JAMIE I’m not sure mate, maybe he’s made a mistake. JORDAN’S phone receives a text message, he looks at it and its Paul his manager. The text is shown on screen and Jordan is speechless. JORDAN puts his phone in his pocket, picks up his jacket and begins to walk off. JAMIE Where you going Jord? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
