First 10 pages of a Christian Screenplay I'm writing. You don't have to be Christian to review it because it doesn't have much Spiritual connotations in this part. Please be honest
INT – NIGHT CLUB - EVENING
Night club, coloured lights flashing, ‘Show me love’ playing, many people there, dancing and drinking, mostly under 20s
INT – NIGHT CLUB – BENCH – SIMULTAINIOUS
At a bench sit JACK, LEE, and HARVEY. On the table in front of them are beer bottles for each person
JACK is 18, thin, six foot, strong facial features, black jeans, no sleeve vest top. Lee is 18, short, and has slight facial hair, Demin jeans and a smart shirt. HARVEY, 19, 5 foot 11, shaven hair, ginger, white top, tracksuits. HARVEY has an Irish accent
They are eyeing up women who walk past. HARVEY wolf whistles. They turn and look at him in disgust. JACK and LEE laugh
HARVEY: Ah who cares about them broads anyway!
LEE: Well, it’s gonna be a long night
JACK: I hope not, I have church in the morning
HARVEY: Ah but the good Lord won’t mind if you’ll be staying for a couple more hours
LEE: Yeah, it’s only a couple more hours
JACK: My youth leader won’t be happy with me if I come in late
HARVEY: Aye mate; these are the kind that don’t want you to be happy in life. All they ever talk about is the next. Well let me tell you, the here and now is all that counts and don’t let anyone tell you any differently
LEE: I’ll drink to that!
LEE and HARVEY tap their beer bottles before swigging. JACK takes a swig of his
JACK: And what does matter in this life?
LEE: Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die
HARVEY: I thought you were a religious man Jack?
JACK: I know… but, I don’t like to be defined by my belief. I still like to have a good time
LEE: So I see
SIAN comes over, 18, very pretty, short skirt, pink top, leather jacket, makeup on
SIAN: Hey guys!
She sits with them
JACK: Oh hey Sian
HARVEY: Evening
LEE: When did you get here?
SIAN: Just a second ago, I didn’t expect you to be here
LEE: Pound a pint, where else would we be?
SIAN: Good point!
HARVEY: Aye and speaking of pints
He gives a pound coin to LEE
HARVEY (CONT’D): Get us a Fosters, tis your turn!
LEE: Fine!
LEE gets up and goes to the bar
JACK: How’s life at college?
SIAN: Sorry? I can’t hear you over this music!
JACK: I said how’s life at college!
SIAN: Ah, it’s good thanks!
HARVEY: What is it that you’re studying?
SIAN: At the moment, media!
JACK: Sounds like fun!
INT – NIGHTCLUB – BAR – SIMULTAINIOUS
LEE is at a very busy crowded bar. The barmaid is turning to different people to take orders before getting them what they want, exchanging money
She turns to LEE
BARMAID: What do you want?
LEE (Bending over bar): Two Fosters please
BARMAID gets two Foster bottles out, takes the caps off, and hands them to him
BARMAID: That’ll be two pounds please
LEE hands her the money
LEE: Cheers
‘Infinity’ starts playing replacing ‘Show me love’. LEE grabs the drinks and leaves bar
INT – NIGHT CLUB – BENCH – SIMULTAINIOUS
HARVEY: I don’t know about you two but I’m gonna dance
HARVEY gets up and leaves to the dance floor
SIAN: You not gonna join him?
JACK: Nah! Dancing’s not for me
SIAN (Laughing): What did you say, I couldn’t catch it?
JACK: I said…
LEE comes over and sees that HARVEY isn't there. He looks over and sees him dancing on the dance floor
LEE: Typical, I’ll see if he wants it
LEE goes over to the dance floor to greet HAREVY
INT – NIGHTCLUB – DANCE FLOOR – CONTINUOUS
Many people are dancing. Amongst them is HARVEY. LEE approaches him
LEE: Do you want your Fosters?
HARVEY: Aye mate!
He grabs a Fosters bottle off LEE and starts dancing with it

LEE: I guess so
They start dancing to the music
INT – NIGHT CLUB – BENCH – CONTINUOUS

SIAN (Laughing): They’ll be here at eleven!
JACK: Oh
SAIN laughs
SIAN: How’s everything where you are?
JACK: I’ve found work
SIAN: Nice!

SUSIE: Told ya we’d get here on time
SIAN: Looks like you’re early!
JEN: Yeah! Who’s the chump?
SIAN: Oh, this is Jack, from school. Jack, this is Susie and Jen. They’re from college
JEN: Oh right, hey!
SUSIE: Hello! I don’t come here often, so seeing me here is rare
JACK: Oh, okay. Hey guys. Would you like me to get you a drink?
JEN: Vodka and Coke
SUSIE: Same again please!
JACK leaves to bar

SIAN: I know, he’s always been like that
SUSIE: He seems very stale
SIAN: No, he can be lots of fun
CUT TO:
INT – NIGHTCLUB – DANCE FLOOR – LATER
SIAN, JACK, SUSIE, JEN, LEE and HARVEY are all dancing. The music is ‘Sex is on fire’
SIAN & JACK (To song lyrics): YOU, YOUR SEX IS ON FIRE! CONSUMED WITH WHAT’S TO TRANSPIRE!
JACK starts dancing with SIAN from behind
SIAN: Come on!
JACK and SIAN get really close until they start kissing. In front of everyone
HARVEY and LEE start laughing at them. HARVEY gets out his phone and takes a photograph of them. JACK raises his middle finger at them
HARVEY: Jack’s got gash!
LEE: With Sian too!
HARVEY: Sorry mate, it’s the Irish in me!
SIAN (To JACK): Wanna go somewhere quieter?
JACK nods, they leave
HARVEY: Have you lovely ladies known Sian long?
CUT TO:
EXT – NIGHTCLUB – SMOKING AREA – LATER
The area is quiet; there are a few people on outdoor benches smoking. SIAN and JACK are sitting on a bench together. SAIN gets out a packet of cigarettes and draws one out of the packet. She lights it and smokes
JACK: You smoke?(!)
SIAN: Sorry about that
JACK: I don’t mind it’s just; well… they’re bad for you
SIAN: I get the same talk from my mother
JACK: Maybe because she cares about you
SIAN: Meh, I don’t care. People say that
JACK: I care
SIAN: Aww, that’s so sweet (She kisses him) I don’t feel much like dancing anymore
JACK: Then let’s not
SIAN smiles at him
CUT TO:
EXT – STREET – LATER
JACK and SIAN are kissing and linking hands as they walk down the road. They step outside a house
SIAN: Let me get my key
She gets her key out and unlocks the door. They stumble through and laugh as they fall over
SIAN (CONT’D): Shh! My mother’s asleep!
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE – SIAN’S ROOM – LATER
SIAN’s room, respectable by all accounts. Study books on the shelves. Wardrobe and a tall bed. JACK is on top of SIAN kissing her. He takes his top off revealing his naked chest. He takes her top off, leaving her in her bra
He looks at her and reveals a condom. He smiles. He adjusts his jeans below the duvet. He pulls them off and chucks them out of bed. He adjusts again and cuddles her
FADE TO:
INT – HOUSE – SIAN’S ROOM – MORNING
JACK is in bed cuddled up to SIAN, asleep. They are covered up by the duvet, they’re clothes are scattered amongst the room. The clock next to his face shows a time of ’10:25’
He turns his head to face the clock and then opens his eyes slightly. He opens them wide in shock
JACK: Oh crap
He looks at SIAN and then looks at the time again
JACK (CONT’D): I’m gonna be late for church!
He grabs his boxers
