The Hedge Script

EXT. PLAYGROUND – DAY

ERIC and JORDYN are kicking a ball back and forth, talking about something that happened in their day. 

ERIC

(Out of breath)

And then, after that happened, me and uhh

ERIC Hesitates 

I forgot what the guys name was. 

ERIC then kicks the ball 

JORDYN

(Interrogative)

What did he look like? 

JORDYN kicks the ball back 

ERIC

(Confused)

Uhhh, I think he had curly hair. Like a bit shorter than me

but like by this much.

ERIC puts his hand up to his shoulder

 

I think I’ve seen you talking to him before

so you do know who he is.

ERIC Kicks ball back to JORDYN

JORDYN

(Thinking intensely)

Was he mixed, black, Asian, white?

JORDYN kicks ball back to ERIC 

ERIC

(Stumbling a bit after having gotten the ball)

Asian, he’s in your History class I think.

ERIC Kicks ball back to JORDYN 

JORDYN
(Understanding)

Ohhh you’re talking about um, Ethan.

JORDYN kicks the ball back to ERIC

ERIC

(Satisfied)

Yeah that guy, anyway he was the person who ended up having done it so Miss kept us

all behind even though it was just him who had actually done the prank. 

ERIC kicks the ball back to JORDYN

JORDYN

(Agitated)

Dude that's just annoying, I'll be honest I never really liked Ethan, the guys a prick.

JORDYN kicks the ball back but fumbles a bit

Shit. My bad! Get the ball please.

 The ball rolls under the hedge

ERIC

(Frustrated)

Oh my days

 

ERIC goes to try and get the ball from the hedge. But when he bends down to grab it he hears rustling in the hedge and hesitates. 

ERIC

(Insulting)

Need to fix your kick before the game I’ll be real.

ERIC Bends down to get the ball

Rustling comes from the bush and ERIC hesitates

JORDYN

(Impatient)

Get the ball! 

ERIC

(Annoyed)

Bro wait, I got uhh

ERIC Thinks for a second

A thorn in my hand 

JORDYN

(Tested)

Yeah alright, ima go then because my

Mum wants me home.

ERIC looks back at the bush, hesitating whether or not he should grab the ball. Eventually he leaves the ball and starts running back over to JORDYN

ERIC

(Afraid)

Yo! The ball popped come back.

The ball gets grabbed by something in the bush.
