No Robot’s Click: a screenplay

Fade up on:

1. Ext. London. Day

Wide establishing shot of London  in a distopian civilisation. There is no sun in the sky.The robots have turned the once cultered London into a place full of concrete buildings with dank and dingy rooms. The streets are full of litter being picked at by vermin.

Tracking close up shot of about 6 different people, three girls and three boys are all gathered around an object which the viewer can’t see.

Camera cuts to point of view shot looking over a person’s shoulder at a bundle lying on the street. The group are debating on what to do with it, the of the girls suggests leaving It there, another suggests killing it, it seems no one wants anything to do with this baby as they all look at it with disgust, the bundle makes a cry and someone goes to pick it up. As the baby rises something falls to the floor, one of the girls goes to pick it up, it’s a note that looks like it was written in a hurry, words are scrabbled and it has tear stains all over it, it was meant to be around the baby’s neck. The girl places it over the baby’s neck.

               of.”

Puts the baby back down, kisses it and walks away.

Cut to group of people surrounding the camera as if it’s the baby. Several of them start speaking at the same time. “Cry little sister” by billy idol starts playing ...
