Master Shot 1 Zoom In pan house
Ext-Frontyard/house-day
The camera cues in on the rickety old and disheveled home of
a white trash family, impoverished and stricken with lunacy. Two boys are
playing in the yard by some stray dogs, which are hiding under the shade of the
house floorboards. Boy 1 is older and more aggressive than boy 2. They walk towards
the stray dogs. Boy 1 stomps brashly.
Boy 1
Look at that durn dog, Lets catch it and train it.
Boy 2
Ok. Lets git’ it!
Boy 1
(Boy 1 runs after the dog and a car is seen coming nearer to
the house from a distance. The car is rickety and almost out of gas, fuming and
smoking grossly.)
Scene 2.
The janky car pulls up to the house
and crashes over some window screens as it pulls up. The windows of the house
are all open so the father of boy 1&2 runs out and starts hollerin’
aggressively at the impudent UNCLE TRASH.
Ext-doorway/yard-mid afternoon
Father

WOMAN
Total chaos, dogs bark wildly the boys yell and uncle trash
stands there confused and answers quickly.
uncle trash

Father

(he runs inside and grabs a bottle)
Wife

Uncle trash
I brought the car Darlin’
(Father and his wife make a commotion
in the house the BOTTLE breaks and Wife comes crashing out of the house with a
hobo sack and a broken bottle that she throws onto the ground.
The Wife runs out into the cornfields and disappears in
seconds. The father gets in the car and the tires squeal as he rides off
leaving clouds of black smoke. Uncle trash goes into the bedroom and passes out
snoring raucously. The boys are left standing in the yard by themselves.
Scene 3 isolation with the Uncle
Ext-yard-day
Uncle Trash
Booys’ where are

Boy 1
Running around wrecklessly

Boy 2

(The camera pans to them playing cards on the stoop of the
rickety home, Uncle Trash grins and laughs while the boys groan and cover their
faces. Uncle Trash takes all their money and laughs)
Uncle Trash
Well boys I guess I’m off to the
bar, Don’t burn the house down while I’m gone.
(Camera cuts to shot of the sun going down and then cuts to
the dogs rustling as the kids play and try and capture a dog.)
EXT-Montage-Dusk
(Two Months pass, Bluegrass
cover of “just the two of us” plays in the background while the children run
wild alone in the middle of bufu Kansas just being raised like stray dogs who
live under hillbilly hovels.)
Ext-Yard-day

The boys sprint to the dogs and
tackle one
Boy two grabs a rope before the stinky dog can get away and
then he hogties it.
BOY2
IT’S STINKKY!!
BOY1

BOY1 runs to get something from inside the house. He runs
back out while Boy2 fashions a leash onto the stray dog and they prepare to
wash it.
BOY1
All we got is
bugspray so lets warsh him with this.
(they wash h
im with the bugspray as the matted and dirty hair lathers
into a foam)
BOY2
Now he’s
clean but he don’t smell good
(Uncle trash is seen walkin drunkenly stumbling up to the
ratty yard by the house.
UNCLE TRASH
Hey Boys,

Go get your
piggy bank.
The Boy1 runs inside to go get their money. Uncle Trash
flicks his cigarette but near the dog and it tries to lick it when in it
immediately bursts into flames
The dog sprints like a fireball under the house and the
house explodes into flames. Flaming stray dogs jart around yelping and then
camera zooms out.

The End
