Script Outline

SCENE DESCRIPTION

Starts with the boy cutting open a grapefruit, slowly. He juices the grapefruit, with the juice representing blood and the skin representing human skin. He transfers the juice into a glass, adds sugar then takes a sip. 

He opens the door to the basement and walks down the stairs, slowly. We hear muffles of sounds and screaming through taped mouths. 

The parents are revealed and their muffled screams gets louder. He stands over them and takes another sip from his drink. He peels away their masking tape from their mouth.

DIALOGUE

DAD: You sick bastard!

MOTHER: What are you gonna do with us?

The boy takes another sip from his drink

DAD: Say something!

The boy spits out the drink.

MOTHER: Why are you doing this?

BOY: Why not?

The father kicks his legs out in fury.

FATHER: Look son, lets talk about this, whatever you're going through, we'll understand.

BOY: You'll never understand! I'm not your son!

FLASHBACK STARTS AND ENDS

The boy holds his head. The parents start talking to him, trying to give positive thoughts. But their voices are muffled.

MOTHER: Everything will be fine, just let us go and we won't say anything more about this.

FATHER: Listen to your mother, listen to us, you need help, we'll get you some, we'll get you some help.

The boy tries to block out the noise, he sways and starts to wave his arms around, creating a mess of destruction. He punches the father and the mother screams.

MOTHER: NO! Stop it!

The boy leans over the parents with a knife. A camera shot shows the door closing and the scene unfolds in the distance.
