Ext. The entrance to Luminar Cinema – Afternoon
Davis is stood on the steps outside the cinema with the manager, Mr Clough.
Davis: (Annoyed) Look, for the millionth time. I was not trying to bootleg the film.
Clough: I believe that to be quite the lie, sir.
Davis: (Aggressively) Oh yeah? And why’s that then?
Clough: Because you’ve got accomplices.
Davis: (Shakes his head) You’re just making this up as you go along, aren’t yer. I have (Points through the doors at someone) NEVER, EVER seen them before.
Two young men, Harry and Rudy, poke their heads round the door.
Harry: Davis, are we allowed in or what? The films gonna start in a minute.
Davis: (Playing it down) I’m sortin’ it. I’m sortin’ it.
Rudy tuts and then himself and Harry slope off. Clough has begun laughing to himself.
Clough: Completely stupid aren’t you! You honestly thought you could get past me. (Moving on) Now, I suggest that you and your friends get moving. I’ve called security and they’re on their way down.
Davis: (Pointing agressively at Clough) You’re just a jumped up little toad. Trying to ruin everyones fun just because…because….because you probably can’t get it up anymore.
Davis moves to the side of Clough and looks towards his friends inside.
Davis: (Deflated) C’mon. Looks like we won’t be getting in today.
Clough smiles smugly and stands out of the way. A long procession of people emerge through the door murmuring in disagreement. Each person is carrying some sort of expensive item of filming equipment such as booms, shoulder mounted cameras, wheel based cameras, lighting rigs. They all enter various vans, parked nearby, which are marked up with ‘Hollywood Moments’ on the side. Clough notices something on the floor of the entrance and picks it up. He shouts towards Davis who is putting a lighting rig in the back of a van.
Clough: (Arrogantly) Oh Sir! I think you forgot something.
Davis looks over.
Davis: (Annoyed) What?
Clough laughs evilly and holds up a clapper board which has ‘Hollywood Moments’ wrote on it. He slams the clapper down.
Clough: (Laughing) CUT!
