An example of how everyday things work their way into our stuff. From our most recent script:
INT. SKATE RINK LADIES ROOM – NIGHT.
Destiny has her hoodie pulled up as Lawren duct tapes the gun to her back.
DESTINY: It’s too fucking tight.
LAWREN: Troop up, bitch. If I don’t make it tight, they gonna see it.
She tears the duct tape with her teeth.
DESTINY: Can you see it?
LAWREN: Wait up. OK. Turn around.
Destiny turns.
LAWREN: You’re good.
Destiny looks at herself in the mirror.
LAWREN: You’re a real life gangster now.
DESTINY: Gangstas do what they want. Suckas do what they can.
LAWREN: This is the real world.
DESTINY: You already know.
Beat.
LAWREN: Just make sure you don’t get killed.
