Working Title: Revolver is about a bank robbery gone sour. It is told from the perspective of the 6th bullet in a 6-shot revolver. So, for all intents and purposes, it's a one shot deal.


Characters:

Harry
Rick
Donny
Nancy


Black.
Harry:(Narrating) It was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. Even back when it was still a "good idea". And since then it's just been stupid mistake after stupid mistake after stupid fucking mistake.
Light streams in as the lid of the box the camera is in is lifted away, and we see Harry, Rick, and Donny talking - we can hardly hear what is being said. The characters move in and out of view, without real regard to the camera or what it sees.
Harry: ...I'm telling you, man, it's not.
Donny: Yes, it is. How are you going to tell me? I saw it. I was there.
Harry: No you weren't. You were over there, drunk off your ass, not even paying attention. I was the one playing.
Rick: Will you two shut up? It's a goddamned video game, for the love of - hey, hey, you put that down! (Points at Donny, offscreen.) You shoot that at me, you suffer the consequences. I'm warning you. Don't - (yells, pulling away, getting squirted with water. He recovers and looks at Donny -still offscreen- with a playful grin, and runs out of view. We hear Donny laughing, and then begging for mercy, while still laughing.
Harry:(Narrating) I mean, it's not like there was anything really special. For better or for worse, we were just a normal bunch of guys. Donny, my little brother.
Donny's chest hits the table, Rick on his back, and the camera gets knocked over. Donny's head comes clear into view, and we see Ricks hand holding a water pistol and squirting into Donny's ear.
Rick:(Laughing) Owned! Rick runs away. Donny gets up to follow. Harry walks in with a can of soda, and pulls aside as Donny brushes past him. He looks after, then continues to the table and sits down.
Harry: Hey, Rick! Where is it?
Harry:(Narrating) Rick, long-time family friend.
Rick pops into view, and sets a handgun down on the table. A couple of seconds later, he gets tackled by Donny.
Rick: Ok, ok! That's enough, already!
Rick gets up and sits down in the chair, and sets down a revolver, sliding it towards Harry.
Donny: (Mumbles something we can't quite make out)
Rick: Shut up, Donny. Sit down.
Harry:(Narrating) And me.
Rick pushes the revolver close to Harry
Rick:Go ahead, Harry. Fill it.
Harry picks up the revolver, pushes the "magazine" out, and starts picking up bullets, one at a time, and putting them in. He picks them up from random places around the camera, some in front, some behind, some to the side. Finally he picks up the camera and pushes it into the last slot in the revolver. Black.
Harry:(Narrating) We're just a normal bunch of guys.


6 shots:


The gun is pulled from Harry's pocket and we catch a glimpse of the back before it gets shoved under a table. Shortly after, the camera is shifted, so we can see just past the table, but still can't see much.
Rick: Ok, are you guys set to do this?
Donny: Yup. Ready and rarin'.
Rick: Ready, Harry?
Harry: Yeah, let's go.
Donny leaps up and rushes past the camera, which pulls away from the table a bit.
Donny: Don't anybody move! This is a stick-up!
Harry:(Narrating) I can't believe he just said that.
Rick gets up and follows.
Rick:(Exhasperated) Shut up, Donny!
Harry finally gets up to join, and we see the full scene of people looknig about, confused.
Harry:(Narrating) I seriously can't believe he actually just said that. And by that dumb grin on his face, you just know he's been waiting all day to say it. Dammit all - Whoever made up that "back your brothers play" rule clearly had brothers with way more sense in them than mine. Oh well, what the hell.
Harry shoots the clock on the wall. Screams are heard, and everybody drops to the ground.

5 shots:

Rick: All right, everybody away from the door. That's right, nice and easy. Everybody stays calm and cooperates, everybody goes home alive.
Harry:(Narrating) Watching Rick take charge like this makes me start to wonder just how many times he's done this. I mean, Uncle Rick's involvement with less-than-lawful activities wasn't really news to anybody in my family, but I'd never really met that side of him before, and it kinda surprised me.
Rick: Against the wall, let me through. Woah, hold on, what have we here?
Harry:(Narrating) No good can come of this.
Rick: You, come here. Let me see you. Hey, Donny, check it out. She's about your age, isn't she?
Donny: What are you doing?
Rick: How's that for a pretty face, eh? I say you go for it.
Donny: Cut it out, man. Leave her alone.
Rick: Not a bad figure, either. Too young for me though, but nothing's stopping you.
Donny: Leave Nancy alone!
There is a pause as the glee suddenly leaves Rick's face, and a scared Nancy looks back and forth between them, very much confused. Ricks grin slowly comes back.
Harry:(Narrating) Uh-oh.
Rick:(Starts laughing a little) I see, so you're Nancy!
Donny looks away embarrassed.
Harry: Let it go, man. Come on, just let it go.
Rick continues laughing as he turns away. Nancy stares at Rick, and then looks deeply, intently at Donny, looking him over. Then realization sets in and she stiffens, looks straight forward and steps back against the wall.
Nancy: Oh my God...
Harry:(Narrating) The infamous Nancy. What interesting circumstances to finally meet her in. Donny's had a crush on this girl for the longest time. He saw her perform in a show once, and he spoke of nothing else for at least a solid week afterward. But now that she's recognized him... she's dangerous.
