Screenplay

(Barry is zipping up his coat and getting ready to leave the house, we see him walk through the door and it fades to black. We then see Barry walk to meet the loan shark. Dialogue starts on shot 13)
(Loan shark adjusts tie)
Loan shark: well well well, nice to see you Barry
(cut to high angle shot of Barry, this makes him look vulnerable)
Barry: now then, wish I could I say it was nice to see you
(cut to close up of loan shark with an angry stern look in his face)
Loan shark: So, you got my money?
(cut to a medium two shot)
Barry: N n no but…
LS: No buts! I told you I wanted it today!
(cut to an over the shoulder shot of the loan shark looking at Barry)
Barry: I know, im sorry, I just need a little more time
(pans around to an over the shoulder shot of Barry looking at the loan shark)
LS: Im an important person and don’t have a little more time!
(cut to an extreme long shot of both of them and the camera zooms in)
Barry: look, I know, I nearly have it, I have but I just need a few more days, please!
LS:  as you may have guessed, I am not a very reasonable man and I do not like to be messed around. I told you I wanted the money today, so I expected you to give it me it today!
Barry: im sorry, just a few more days, I will have it!
(cut to a low angle shot of the loan shark, this makes him look dominant as he is the dominant character in the conversation)
LS: a few more days isn’t fucking good enough! And how do you expect me to trust you?! You’ve already let me down once and do I not take kindly to being let down! I don’t think you realise what I am actually capable of!
(cut to a close up of Barry looking extremely worried)
Barry:  just give me one more day, ive told you ill fucking have it! I promise, please!
(cut to a close up of the loan shark)
LS: okay, listen to me. I’ll make an exception this once, you have 48 hours and if I do not have the money when I come to meet you again, you will be in shit, deep shit. And I can’t 9promise you will walk away, you understand?!
(half way through above dialogue cut to an over the shoulder shot of Barry looking at the loan shark)
(cut to a medium shot of Barry)
Barry:  thank you thank you! I won’t let you down, I promise!
(cut to a medium two shot)
LS: I should hope not, but there is one catch…
Barry:  oh god, what?
LS: I want a £100 extra for you fucking me about!
Barry: How the fuck am I supposed to get an extra £100 if I can’t even get the first lot of money!
(cut to a close up of the loan shark)
LS: I don’t care how you get it, just get it!
(cut to a close up of Barry)
Barry: Oh for fuck sake!
(cut to a two shot)
LS: I’ll see you in two days Barry
Barry: yeah, see ya
(Loan Shark now leaves and Barry is stood alone)
Barry: fucks sake!
(Barry holds his head and sighs then bangs his fist against the wall in frustration the shot then fades to black and the next shot is Barry at home)
