Script
Dan: "How do you get your kicks? Some will choose the easy way out from the shitty existence we’ve imposed upon ourselves. Waking up everyday at 6.30 to get the tube with a load of cognoscenti bastards, and accept their place in the nostalgia of office life, take their orders from some big shot fucking cunt in a tailored suit, make the instant coffee and fill their place in the endless line of scum, working for minimum wage – that they’ll only spunk away anyway on kebabs, booze and a 10 pack of Mayfair as they try to accept the lives they lead. After that go back to the 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, semi-detached crap hole in 'shitsville', complete with a loveless marriage that’s descending into a sexless, joyless routine of Iceland ready made microwavable dinners and dull reality TV. All of which was settled for, just so you don’t die alone. Fuck that for a laugh. I choose life. I choose football. In fact you can forget the fucking football, I choose the carnage that comes with it. Football doesn’t stem from violence, but the violence stems from football. The broken knuckles, chipped teeth, the claret covered shirt - it comes from within. You either have it, or you fuck off."

Elements from two monologues written before by group members were taken into account and we encorporated ideas from both of those monologues and created this final piece. We decided on using mainly simple and harsh vocabulary to show the nature of the characters in the film, The language was quite lower class, however, the use of words such as "cognoscenti" shows that the character is indeed educated, as most people who run firms are - they need to be clever to know how to overcome other firms. We see a glimpse of what most people see as everyday life, waking up for work, coming home and then watching TV with ready-made dinners. But the character wants to be different and decides that the life isn't for him, due to him actually living in those conditions and wanting to better himself.
ReplyDeleteWe have used parts from different monologues we came up with, some of which are short, to create this final piece;
ReplyDelete- "Football doesn't stem from violence, nor does violence stem from football, it's deeper than that - it comes from within...you either have it, or you fuck off."
- "People tell me to forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing, more so, I'll get the other cunts to stop breathing."
- "Blow most my money on drugs, not that I can afford much of it on £5.20 an hour, but I'll make more cash selling what I haven't done to then go and blow on booze to get a girl for the night...that's my idea of a night out."
The re-amended version for the film, due to it's length and it not able to fit into our film:
