A Film by Dale Squires
The scene opens with Tori, Beck and Jade killing some time before their film class begins.
Tori: So if you had the choice, which would you give up, the internet or your foot?
Beck: Foot
Jade: Foot
Tori: Wait, you mean you guys would give up your foot rather than the internet?
Beck: Sure, it's a no-brainer
Jade: Sure is
Andre: Come on Tori, don't you like the internet?
Tori: But you foot is part of your body and the internet is; yeah goodbye foot!
Chris the teacher enters the room:
Chris: Ok if every could sit down and be quiet, we have an exciting class for today.
Robbie and Rex, enter, out of breath and looking frazzled.
Robbie: Sorry we are late, can I get a coffee?
Tori: Robbie, why are you late, and how come you look so disgusting.
Robbie: My uncle gave me and old car and it does not run very well, on the way here it broke down in a bad neighbor hood. While we were there a street thug stole my left shoe, and he took Rex's too. Now I try to accept all people, but..
Chris: Ok, can everyone be quiet and let teacher talk now? I assume that all of you have seen a short film entitled "Butter face"?
Tori: Oh, yeah, I love that film; I must have seen it a billion times.
Jade: Well, who hasn't?
Chris: Well, how would you like to meet the director of "Butter face"?
Jade: Don't tease me…
Chris: He is here today, a former Student of mine, Dale Squires!
Dale walks up to the podium:
Chris: Dale, welcome, the podium is all yours.
Dale: Great, just what I always needed; a Plexiglas podium.
Tori: Is it true that you are going to be directing the new film with Johnny Depp?
Dale: It looks that way.
Suddenly there is a disturbance and the back door opens. Trina and a bunch of other students are standing there.
Chris: What's going on here?
Trina: Cat texted us that Dale Squires was here today and we all wanted to meet him.
Cat: I love mass texting.
Chris: I am trying to run a class here.
Trina: But I hear that he was directing the new Johnny Depp movie and I would be perfect to act with Johnny Depp.
Chris: If you are not in this class get out, now.
Trina: Yes, that's right, all of you get out.
Chris: Trina!
Trina: But I brought my head shot and everything.
Chris: Tori, can you get your sister to leave?
Tori: Trina if you don't stop embarrassing me, I will embarrass you!
Trina: But I made up a shot of me and Johnny Depp to show you how we would look together!
Tori: One time when Trina was little, went to the mall and Trina peed on Santa's lap.
Trina: Tori! And she turned and left.
Chris: Thank you Tori
A second later she poked her head back in the door.
Trina: To be fair, I had a bladder infection!
.Trina shuts the door finally and leaves.
Tori: I just wanted to tell that I loved Butter face, the cinematography was so interesting.
Dale: Yes I went with a handheld camera because I wanted that nervous jittery look.
Cat: I love that nervous jittery look.
Andre: And the way we never saw the wife's face in the whole scene was brilliant! I mean, it made you think, was she there or wasn't she?
Dale: Actually the reason she wasn't there was because the actress who played her got food poisoning and was puking in the bathroom during the scene, but I'll take brilliant.
Cat: One time, I ate a hamburger and I started sneezing, but I don't think the hamburger had anything to do with it.
Jade: Maybe it was your red hair dye absorbing into your brain.
Cat: Can that happen?
Chris: I know its fun to talk about Dale's films, but that is not why I brought him here today. We have something more exciting planned. This class is going to make a movie, with Dale Squires, as sort of a class project.
Tori: And you're going to direct it?
Dale: If that's cool with you?
Tori: Yeah that's very cool with me Dale Squires! So what kind of a movie are we going to make?
Dale: I don't know I was thinking something dark and mysterious, maybe intense, scary.
Rex: Like Jade?
Jade reaches over with her notebook and hits Rex in the head.
Robbie: You knocked him out!
Chris: Beck, I was thinking you could rework that one-act play that you did for my class.
Beck: I can do that.
Dale: Some studio friends are going to let me borrow professional cameras, lights and whatever else we need.
Andre: Where are we going to film?
Tori: We can use my house.
Chris: Ok
Dale: Great, looks like we are making a movie!
