Saltwater+Script

Okay, well, if you've made the decision to read this, then please be fully aware of the following information. Firstly, I do not know how to format a script. In fact, I don't know the first thing about screenplays. Sorry. Secondly, I consider this to be one of my worst "scripts." Thirdly, this is not in any way complete, and may never be complete. There was something else I wanted to say... it seems I have forgotten. Oh, well. //Saltwater// (only the first few sentences) in script form. Here it is. ~ Lauren
 * Please** do not read this "script" until you have read the first chapter of //Saltwater//, which you can find here - The First Chapter of Saltwater. Better yet, do not read this script //or// the first chapter of //Saltwater//. Find a better use of your time. In fact, I only put this on Jabberwicky so that I could put something in each category on my page. Sorry, I'm weird like that. The numbers followed by blank spaces were really irritating me. Oh, look, I've gone off topic again.

INT. FLETCHER BAY AQUARIUM – CRUSTACEAN CAFETERIA – NIGHT

The Crustacean Cafeteria has glass walls filled with water and colorful fish. The sunlight streams through the open skylights. Bright orange benches are planted before long, metal tables. Scarlet trays are neatly stacked atop the ultramarine counters.

AMIE CREEL sits on a bench, nibbling the bread coating off of a fish stick. SCOTTIE CREEL leans against the glass wall. A deep blue apron garnished with the words “Crustacean Cafeteria” is tied around his waist. He wears dark jeans and a black hooded jacket. He looks sulky.

AMIE  (waving)   Waiter! Scottie approaches Amie. SCOTTIE  (irritated)   What now? AMIE  That’s no way to treat your customers.

SCOTTIE  (irritated)   What do you want now? AMIE  Pink lemonade. And while you’re at it, ask your manager, or whoever, why they serve seafood at an aquarium. I mean, does anyone else find that a little ironic? SCOTTIE  (flatly)   No. It’s just you. Thanks for reading! You can now return to my page.
