STUDENT CONFINEMENT
WRITTEN BY CHASE KUERTZ
1 INT. SCHOOL BASEMENT - DARK 1
Steel and metal GADGETS click together
indicating a machine of great importance. The
metal is new, this we can see. Some are round
with niches on the sides to fit with the other
round metal objects. Steam rushes up from the
machine and creates wetness on the metals.
From the far side, we hear a lot of commotion.
People chat about this new MARVELOUS MACHINE
that can make a difference in today’s life.
CUT TO:
2 EXT. SCHOOL WALLS – NIGHT 2
From the basement to outside, we watch as a
steel wall is sliding across the brick school
wall and over windows and glass doors. We can
hear an ever ending CLICKING coming from
somewhere off screen.
Finally, the wall stops sliding and we are
left with a confusion as to what it is. We
won’t know till later on.
FADE TO:
3 INT. CLASSROOM 101 – DAY 3
TOM SWIZER, a 17-year-old Junior with dark
brown hair and a square jaw, drools all over
his table. His eyes are close completely, as if
we weren’t aware by now. The teacher keeps
talking, paying no attention to the young one
in his desk asleep, until he hears the small
snore coming from his nostrils.
MRS. HOWARD, the teacher, stops here talking of
the literature assignment and decides to take a
stroll over to the resting TOM. She taps on his shoulder. He wakes up with a jolt and notices
her. He’s caught dead in his tracks. He’s
thinks and moves his eyes around.
MRS. HOWARD
I’m guessing your thinking in
your undeveloped mind that I should
be lenient on you since it’s just
the first day of your Junior year of
school. If that’s the case then
you’re dead wrong.
(HANDS TOM A SHEET OF PAPER)
So, you wouldn’t mind signing the
detention slip, would you?
TOM takes the slip in between his index and
middle finger as MRS. HOWARD walks back up to
teach. TOM shrugs and listens. The bell RINGS.
CUT TO:
4 EXT. SCHOOL YARD – DAY 4
TOM SWIZER meets up with his buddies outside
the school at parking lot; JAKE MCGUIN, a
black haired good natured teen who his
choking down his cigarette; NANCY HEROLD,
light brown hair with blue eyes and a very
happy smile who is also TOM’S girlfriend; and
last one is FREDDY LENZENY, an ITALIAN
AMERICAN.
Their meeting is not coincidence, they always
meet together after school, we can see this.
TOM runs, drops his bag, and embraces NANCY.
He then KISSES her passionately.
NANCY
(Smirks)
Hard day at school?
TOM
(Assuring)
You betcha!
JAKE flicks his cigarette to the ground and
pinches NANCY on the rear.
JAKE
Something going on down there?
NANCY pushes away with TOM still holding her.
NANCY
I’ve told you to never do that
again.
JAKE
(SHRUGS)
Hey, I’m a sinner!
JAKE resists to do it again. FREDDY sits on
the concrete floor, pulls out his binder and
checks his schedule.
The rest of the group notices his UNUSUAL
behavior.
JAKE (cont’d)
Hey, Fred, what the hell are
you doing? Looking for sometime
to read a book?
FREDDY
No, I’m looking for a time to
fit a date with your mother in.
JAKE
(SARCASTICALLY)
Oh, very harsh.
TOM sees a weird looking wall, it’s gray and
made out of metal. Hinges make it slide from
the wall to windows and doors.
TOM
Anybody remember that here last
year?
JAKE lights up another cigarette.
JAKE
I’ve heard things about it.
NANCY
Like what?
JAKE walks closer to us, making us feel
unusually fearful on what he’s about to say.
JAKE
It’s called the FOLDING WALL, it’s
for emergency securities. Some
company makes it… Glaco or…
something. It slides over the
windows and doors for…you know…
protection.
NANCY
Against what?
JAKE
Like…tornadoes…criminals. During the
summer people were breaking in. I’ll
tell you what else I heard. I heard
it killed a guy. Slid over his body
and cut him like butter.
TOM
That’s a bunch of bullshit.
JAKE looks at him.
JAKE
I don’t know, Tom, Ned is
really truthful when he speaks.
TOM
Ned Donnelson?
JAKE
Yeah, Donnelson. You know him.
TOM
He probably got it from someone
who was lying.
JAKE threw the cigarette to the ground.
JAKE
Maybe. But I’m sure he’s right
about what it does.
JAKE opened his jeep’s door, dove into the
driver’s seat and waved to them.
JAKE (cont’d)
See ya, my bitches! Ha
…And he drove off to the street.
NANCY
When’s he going to grow up?
FREDDY
Probably never.
(He grabs his
note book and throws it in the
back of his truck.)
Are we still up for tonight?
Bowling?
TOM
I don’t know. You up for it
Nancy?
NANCY
Anything for you, hon!
(She jumps in his arms)
TOM
She’s so easy to talk to.
(He smiles)
TOM and Nancy wave goodbye and get into their vehicles. FREDDY is left, checking his BOOK
BAG to see if any of his books were left
behind. Sure enough, he finds that he’s
missing his ENGLISH book.
FREDDY
Oh, shit. English.
We watch him take his BOOK BAG and walk back
into the school.
5 INT. LOCKER HALL – DAY 5
He walks to his locker, number 152, and opens
it to reveal his lost ENGLISH book. He takes
the book in his arms, closes the locker, and
puts it in his BOOK BAG.
He turns around to see a MYSTERIOUS MAN
looking at him from the left end of the hall.
The man stares at him blankly. FREDDY stares
at the man wondering what it wants. He
couldn’t see his face, it was under some kind
of hood or something. The man later walks off
down the stairs.
FREDDY sighs with relief and shrugs it off. He
walks back down the hall.
