First draft script

INT. – HOSPITAL – DAY

A woman in her 30’s is running through hospital corridors to find her husband, she has been directed by the receptionist. She then sees her husband through a window, and pushes the door and walks in slowly.
The woman is sitting next to a comatose man in his 40’s. She starts talking to him in a tearful voice. However it seems as she is talking more to herself then him.

Woman:

No, no, o god don’t worry. Please come back to me along with your happy and healthy old self. I know things are looking very grim now but I just want to let you know that I *Sniffs* I do love you!

EXT. – CLUB – NIGHT TIME

Scene change. The man is standing in front of a club by the doors as a bouncer. Three northern men are approaching the club. They seem very drunk and are singing and talking complete gibberish.


INT. – HOSPITAL – DAY

Back in the hospital room the woman is still talking to the comatose men.

Woman:

This is my entire fault isn’t it? Because I just kept pushing to find a job so that I can buy myself those ridiculous expenses, which I don’t even, need. It’s my entire fault because for being such a selfish cow and that’s why you had to go get more shifts at that wretched nightclub. I’m so sorry Steve I really am. I promise to be more considerate when you wake up, please wake up.

EXT. – CLUB – NIGHT TIME

Back at the club the northern men now approach the man and they start talking to him very drunk.

One of the northern men:

Alrite mate, what youu doing out here in the fucking cold when there is a fucking party going on in there.

The man does not reply.

Another northern men:

Ay, are you fucking deaf? He asked you a question man.

Security Guard:

Sorry but Im not going to communicate with you, while your using that tone.

Northern man:

O serious you need to get a fucking life mate.

Security Guard:

I’m going to ask you to leave, as you wont be coming in.

Northern man

That guy seems to think he is all-import:ant V.I.P security person

Another northern man:

Means your not important enough piss head.

Other northern man:

Is that true? You think I’m not good enough to talk to you?

The security guard doesn’t reply.

Northern man:

Oi, I’m talking to you!

INT. – HOSPITAL – DAY
There is a silent atmosphere where the man is laying, his wife is beside him and all we can hear is the life support machine. As the noises of the machine get louder and louder till there is nothing else to hear a doctor suddenly enters the room. The woman jumps up and starts asking questions.

Woman;

How is he? Is he getting better? How long is he going to stay like this?

Doctor:

We are still very uncertain about his condition. He has received a very a bad hit to his brain making it unpredictable what will happen next.

Woman: (with a raised voice)

How do you mean it’s unpredictable? I thought suppose to be good at this stuff?

Doctor:

With injuries to the brain it will be more complicated and we still don’t have enough information…

Woman (furiously cuts in)

But you have done all your stupid scans and tests! Surely you should be able to tell what it’s wrong with him!

Doctor

Please Mrs Stone, you will have to come down. I know this must be a difficult time for…

Woman

Don’t tell me that you have any idea how I feel! This isn’t some kind of film where you can just say things like this and I will be just fine like that!

Doctor

I’m sorry…

Woman

“I’m sorry” isn’t going to do it. Just tell me do you at least know if he’s going to live or die?

Doctor

We really are not sure about his condition…

Woman

Oh just go. Please leave me alone!

The man leaves. The woman starts crying and has rests her head on her husband’s bed.


EXT. – CLUB – NIGHT TIME

The men are still talking to the security guard. You can hear the noises from inside the club.

Northern men

Now that sounds like a good party going on in there. Want to see if we can turn it into a great one?

Security Guard

I’m sorry but you are far too drunk for my liking.

Northern man (mimicking his voice)

“I’m sorry but you are far too drunk for my liking”, jeez to you always try to sound that posh?

The security guard is ignoring them again.

Northern man

Christ he is flipping ignoring us again. He really does think he is too good for us.

Second Northern man

And he also doesn’t want us into his club. He probably thinks northern men aren’t good enough for this area.

A second security guy comes over to inspect what’s going on.

Second security guard

Is there a problem here?

Northern man

Yeah, your dodgy looking friend is making one. He thinks your poxy-looking club is too good for us.

First Security guard

I’m going to have to ask you to leave now.

Northern man

See what I mean? He is still treating us like northern trash we should have him done for racism.

Security guard

This has nothing to do with your background if you are that drunk then we can’t let you in.

Northern man

Why? You think we going to fall over or hurt ourselves.

Second security guard

There is a risk of you hurting others.

Northern man (furiously)

So that’s what this is about. Our reputation as northern men you going to just stereotype us as a bunch of drunk, crazy bastards who go around causing fights? Well guess you caused this one mate and this is going too end bad got it.

The two northern men leave.

Second security guard

You OK?

Security guard

Just about.

Second security guard

Listen those guys are definitely trouble. They might come back with more of their mates if no what I’m talking about.

Security guard

…

Second security guard

Don’t worry if they do come back we’ll simply have to lock the doors for a while and wait for them to leave. Got it.

Security guard

Got it.

INT. – HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

Scene is speeded up showing that she has been waiting for her husband to wake up for day. She is moving around, sitting and sleeping. Back in normal time, one of the machines makes a noise indicating that there is something wrong with her husband can be heard. The hospital staff starts rushing in.

Woman

What’s going on? What’s happening to him?

The nurses and doctors keep on doing what they are doing.

Woman

Why is this thing doing that noise? Can someone tell me what the hell is happening?

One of the nurses comes over and tries to calm her.

Nurse

I’m sorry but you will have to wait outside until we are finished in here

Woman

What do you mean that’s my husband you are treating will you please tell me what’s the matter with him!

Nurse

I’m sorry

The nurse brings the woman outside and she has to watch through the window and observes what’s happening.

Scene change.

EXT. – CLUB – NIGHT TIME

The Security guard is still by the door. He gets a call on his walkie-talkie from his supervisor saying:

Supervisor

Attention all security units! A group of men are on they way here to start a fight. Tell all visitors outside to make they way home and to be careful. After that we will lock the doors.

After hearing the message he starts telling the people outside to leave. One of them is insisting of wanting to stay outside and to finish his cigarette and after going back in.

Security guard

You really have to leave now it will get very dangerous here in a minute.

Man

Alright, alright come down am only finishing the fag then I’ll be back inside.

Security guard

No you either need to leave right now or if you have a friend or so who is inside, go back in the club and stay there for another hour.

Man

Look am not sure what kind of ‘evil men’ are coming but I think I can handle a few thugs alright.

Security guard

Look this isn’t a joke OK this is serious. There seems to be a very large group of men coming over in a second and not just some ‘few thugs’ and you really need to leave if you don’t want to… (Interrupted)

Northern man

Oi, look who is there its Mister V.I.P

A large group of scary looking men have arrived at the club. The man with the cigarette starts walking away by the sight of them. He tries to shout something in his walkie-talkie but one of the men slaps it out of his hand. The security guard then tries to run back in to the club however the doors are locked. The men are closing in on him having him completely surrounded and despite his banging and shouting the door doesn’t open. The men start to laugh.

Northern men

OI, oi looks like mister V.I.P isn’t that important after all. Stop banging at the door and start fighting like men.

One of the men has grabbed him and punched him in his face. They all start kicking and punching him while he is collapsed on the floor trying to shield himself as best as he can.


INT. – HOSPITAL – DAY

The woman is sitting on a chair with looking at her husband whose condition is stable but is still in a coma. She just looks at him in silence waiting and hoping he will wake up. The clicking noise of the clock can be heard with an ECU of it for a few seconds. There is a CU of her face while she is intensely looking at her husband and very slowly starts breaking out in tears.
