Episode 1 Script - Draft 1

Script for my 6 part series for Media - Episode 1

*All the audience can hear is a scene from a Will Smith movie*
*A phone rings*

Friend on the phone, Megan: Hey, you out tonight?
Jen: No I won't be, Will is on! I can't miss his movie
Megan: Are you kidding me? You promised you'd come out
Jen: Sorry but you know how much I love him, I will not be out tonight
Megan: Get a grip, you've watched all his movies, just come out
Jen: No chance, maybe some other time
Megan: Oh whatever, don't come crawling back to me when you've got nothing better to do than watch Will Smith, *laughs* grow up

*Puts the phone down*
*We see her bedroom, everything is based on Will Smith*
*She carries on watching the film, mother comes in*

Mum: Why aren't you going out now?
Jen: Oh, I can't be bothered now
Mum: You mean because you was arguing with Megan?
Jen: Oh mum, don't you start! I was watching Will
Mum: I'm just saying, don't abandon your friends! You can watch tv anytime 
Jen: Ok, whatever mum
Mum: Now don't be staying up too late, you have college tomorrow and you ARE going! 
Jen: *Sighs* Do I have to? Will is on This Morning and I don't want to miss it, he's talking about his new film
Mum: Jen, you're going. Your education is more important. End of, goodnight.

*Mum leaves*
*Jen sighs, carries on watching Will*

The morning after
