INT. GARAGE – NIGHT

MAX, 32, looks at his destroyed MOTORCYCLE, a mean pitbull. He observes a MECHANIC practically halfway inside the bike, hands all over it. Max coughs, loud.

Mechanic puts a wrench down. Steps out. It’s a GIRL. A beautiful one, MO, 25.

MO

Looking at me ain’t going to get new forks for your bike.

MAX

I was just thinking...

MAX(VO)(CONT’D)

...just thinking about the fact you got your hands all over my bike. Don’t seem right.

MAX(CONT’D)

...where the forks are?

MO

Right next to spoons and knives, baby.

She smiles and winks, goes back to working on the bike.

EXT. JUNKYARD – NIGHT

Max is surrounded by mountains of spare parts, used junk, and formerly living cars.

MAX(VO)

You don’t crash your bike and find a beautiful girl in the middle of the desert willing to fix your bike for free. Not in America, not in the land of the free. This thing stinks.

Max kicks a twisted scrap metal in the middle of the path.

MAX(VO)(CONT’D)

I hate art.

Dog barks echo through the place. Max freezes.

MAX(VO)(CONT’D)

And I really hate dogs.

Sees something amongst the junk a few feet ahead. Max moves quickly.

Passes an WHITE warehouse, stands out. A CAMERA on the roof, SPIES on Max, follows him, whirs as lenses focuses.

MAX

Jackpot.

INT. SECURITY ROOM – CONTINUOUS

Smokey, UNKNOWN MAN leans close to a monitor. Multiple monitors. One has a blown up still image of Max. Man ashes his cigarette, picks up a phone.

EXT. JUNKYARD – CONTINUOUS

Max struggles to pull a FORK out of the junk. GRUNTS and rips out. The forks hits the ground.

A GROWL. A few feet from him he sees three Dobermans straight from hell looking at their next meal.

MAX

Dogs.

Max shakes his head.

Idk if this will be allowed, just saw that the comments posting for the challenge was down…

I was in a slightly bad mood yesterday so I didn’t edit my thoughts.

What I meant to say was that people who have Final Draft can write it there and save it as HTML to paste. And to the CeltX user, it seems pretty professional from what I’ve seen.

If anyone would like to test this out on their Blogger page or another hosted blog service, let me know and I’ll pass the code over with some instructions.

I’m already trying to think of ways I can use this on Blogger. Unfortunately, I failed as a Computer Science Major, cause I really sucked at it, so I have no suggestions here.

All I can say is thanks.

You’re new around here, so you’ll probably want to look and see what scrippets are used for and why it’s not a matter of Final Draft or HTML.
