ACT 1
Scene 1
(Steve's apartment, a living space aligned with the stylish and trendy furniture.
(enter Steve, a well off to do businessman inexplicably wearing an over sized jacket, stage left as he hurries in and starts shoving things, such as money and mysterious bags of white powder and syringes, haphazardly into his suitcase)
Steve: *Frantically* SHIT SHIT SHIT
(enter Steve, the suave playboy who owns the apartment, stage right.)
Steve: (Bewildered) Steve?! But I thought after what went down at the do-
Steve: (Interrupting and outraged) Don't try to act innocent I know you sold me out to Steve!
Steve: (Terrified) No! you've got it all wrong! Steve's the one who-
(Steve is interrupted as Steve draws a gun from his jacket and fires two quick shots)
(Steve stumbles back and falls over dead)
(Steve stares at his handiwork both distressed and seemingly satisfied)
(Enter Steve, a simply dressed hit man with a look of exasperated professionalism, stage left with his gun already drawn. He fires two shots into Steve instantly felling him)
(Steve checks to make sure that he is dead before picking up his phone and dialing it)
Steve: *Into the phone* Yes Mr.President they're dead.

(Fade out and end scene)


RULES
1. EVERYONE MUST BE NAMED STEVE
1a. EXCEPT BATMAN
1b. BATMAN PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS PLAY
2. THE REST OF ACT 1 IS A FLASHBACK. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU DO FOR THE REST.
3. DON'T MAKE FUN OF INSTANT.
4. IF A USER CONTRIBUTION OFFENDS YOU. YOU MAY PETITION TO HAVE IT SCRATCHED OUT. THIS REQUIRES A 51% MAJORITY FROM THE USERS.

Rule 5 is everyone ignores all of Steve's stupid rules.

ACT 1 (Cont.)
Scene - Steve's two-story house. Steve is with his beloved wife, Steve. They're looking down at Steve Junior as he sleeps in his crib.
STEVE: (Whispers) Steve, I don't want you to go.
Steve peers at his wife from under his fedora, biting his lip.
STEVE: I have to go, Steve. I can't endanger you and Steve Junior.
STEVE: Steve...!
Steve gives Steve one last kiss, knowing it will be their last.
STEVE: I've got to go, now.
Steve heads towards the door and grabs his coat.
STEVE: Steve, I... I'll never forget you.
Steve puts on his coat and looks at Steve.
STEVE: I know.
Steve exits into the rainy streets.

Scene - Dark alleyway. Steve is in the dark alleyway. It is not raining anymore.
STEVE: I did everything your boss wanted. Now leave my family alone.
The camera pans to reveal Steve, also wearing a long coat and fedora. His face cannot be seen.
STEVE: Good work, Steve. Good.
Steve flicks a cigarette away.
STEVE: You know what you must do now.
STEVE: Yes... I must kill President Steve.

Scene - President's Office

STEVE: DAMMIT!
Steve slams his fists onto his desk.
STEVE: What are we going to do about these Nazis?
Steve's advisor, Steve, shakes his head.
STEVE: I don't know, Mr. President. They just seem unstoppable.
The phone on Steve's desk rings. Steve answers in a huff.
STEVE: Hello?
STEVE: Ja, hello! How many jews does it take to screw in a -
Steve immediately hangs up.
STEVE: DAMN THESE PRANK CALLS!

there's only been three actual posts. you're all disappointing. ALSO YOU ONLY HAVE TO FUCKING CAPITALIZE THE NAME UPON INTRODUCING THE CHARACTER.

Scene - Steve's club
(Myriads of dancers are bathed in strobe light. Steve enters in a stark contrast to their casualware with his buisness suit and look of anxiety)
Steve:(Stumbles his way through the crowd to Steve who is chatting up several women) Steve why do we have to meet here?
Steve: Relaax (gestures the women away). Come on Steve, don't you remember college?
Steve: There wasn't this much ecstasy lying around back then! Look can we just get to business?
Steve: You never did know how to have fun. Anyways you want to make some money?
Steve: What the hell do you think?! My business is useless because of the war now! And the markets are just imploding! I'm gonna have to pull my kids out of private school soon enough! Everything is collapsing around me and I jus-
Steve: Relax. Look all your ships are lying in dock right?
Steve: -What?!
Steve: So you got a huge cargo ship right?
Steve: What the hell do you want with one of my ships?! I can't just randomly charter one without alerting the shareholders!
Steve: You really need to chill off. I've got a friend who easily has enough connections to cover this up.
(Enter Steve whose cold look easily unnerves Steve)
Steve: Who the hell is this
Steve:(remains silent)
Steve: Do you honestly expect him to answer? Don't worry about it we've got a lot of powerful friends right now. Now look I need to answer me this: Can your largest tanker get to Columbia while only traveling the open seas at night?
Steve: (Confusion followed by shock as he tries to figure out how to react)
(end scene)

You are stupid actual script-writing looks nothing like anything that any of us has done. We'd need courier fonts and central alignments to write a script.

Scene - A LARGE TANKER has WASHED UP on SHORE. It is NIGHT. There is LIGHT RAIN and the WAVES are CRASHING HEAVILY. STEVE and STEVE are LOOKING over THE railing.
STEVE
Shit. We couldn't even get one mile to Columbia before this mess.

Steve wipes HIS forehead.
STEVE
Oh, Christ... Steve is going to kill us!

A VOICE COMES FROM THE SHADOWS as STEVE ENTERS.
STEVE
You mean... Mister Steve is going to kill us.

Steve and Steve stumble back, plainly shocked at Steve's arrival.
STEVE
*Stammering* St-St-Steve!

Steve raises his hand, FORCE CHOKING Steve.
STEVE
*Calmly and slowly* That's Mister Steve to you, worm.

STEVE
*Choking* S-Sorry M-Mister St-St-St-St-St-St-St-St-Steve!

Steve releases Steve from his FORCE CHOKE.
STEVE
*Rubbing his now-tender neck* Please... Don't tell Steve about this!

MISTER STEVE
*Shaking his head* Sorry, boys... I'm afraid he already knows.

Mister Steve flips his black cape as he turns away and disappears into the shadows.
END SCENE.

Here's the format Pregga used:

Code:

Steve wipes HIS forehead.

It is most certainly too much work and I will not be doing it again. Real scripts get way more complicated. Let's check out this script for a prime example of screenplay expertise: Great movie, or greatest movie?
