Like I said,I have very wierd dreams.But they were so unreal.They looked and felt unreal.And then there was this dream where everything was so wierd,yet real.Unacceptable,yet so true.
You can never tell how your dream started.So I dont remember how I got there.But I very vaguely remember what happened.
I was in a bright white room with no doors.I was sitting in a chair with a table in front of me.Before me,sat 3 gentlemen dressed like people from the movies.You know those crime thrillers were they do the "good cop-bad cop" thing? Something like that.But something was very weird. They all had my faces.
Me:Am I dead?
Them: . . .
Me:Who are you all?
Them: We,Mr.Frost..We are your self-obsession.
Me:But why do you all look like me?
Them:Because we are YOUR self-obsession..
You see..That is the problem with self-obsession.You can only see yourself.
Me:Why am I here?
Them:You mean we?
Me:Yes.
Them:Because you are here.
Me:Where is this place?
Them:This is your mind.
Me:You gotta be..!Ok..Mr.Self whatever..If this is my mind,then why is just me everywhere?
Them:Because you are self-obsessed.
Me:So how do I get outta here?
Them:You mean get "out of your mind"?(Laughs..)
They took a box and kept it in front of me..Looked like a Christmas present.
Them:This will get you out of your mind.
I did not expect a key.Definitely not even something that resembles a key.But I had to open it.I cut-short the drama and opened it.It had a Huge bottle of rum.
Them:Trust me!That can get you "out of your mind"(Laughs...)
What is worse than being laughed at..?Being laughed at,by yourself.What is more worse?Being laughed at your addiction,by your self-obsession..
Oh,your drink is over?Wait,let me get you another one.I'll continue the dream after that.
"An encounter with my self-obsession".No,that is not the title and this is not my story.This is a small scene in it which moves quite fast with fast cuts.The lines highlighted in yellow and what lies in between is the script.The Intro and the outro are just continuation of the teaser.
ReplyDeleteAfter Blogging this,There seems to be a problem.I seem quite lost!This scene is a key scene.But somehow,after spending 3-4 hrs 2 write just a bunch of dialogues,somehow the scene feels inappropriate!And I have to admit,I like the way I feel..I feel like my potential is being challenged and I need to do better.Based on the response,I might keep/trash this scene.THINK!THINK!
Write in third person as a screenplay. you might get the exact feel how it will run on the screen.
ReplyDeleteIf you are planning to use it as a montage that comes as flash cuts in between other scenes, i feel the dialogs need to be even sharper & direct.
