Scene 7

Fade in

Sam (Justin) is by the kitchen window looking out at the world as Kieran (Scott) talk in the kitchen in an early morning on a Saturday. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it is set in a very normal family flat. This gives the viewer a sense of realism and calm.

 

 

Justin

Good morning, had a good sleep mate?

 

Scott

Yeah thanks how was yours? Put the kettle on please?

 

Justin

It’s on and not great, couldn’t sleep. I kept having the same dream over and over. My head is an absolute mess now.

 

Scott

Oh right? Wanna talk about it? You know I’m always here for you buddy.

 

Justin

It’s alright, I’ll be fine just forget about it. I’m off out, milk is in the fridge if you need it. In a bit.

 

Scott

See you later mate.
