R+P Post 9: Our script

Here is the script for our opening sequence:

The Script:

Jen: You gonna call the bet or what?

Blake: Look, I need you to do something for me

Jen: Oh really? Is that so, well please, tell me how I can help

Blake: You worked on the […] case, you know where the file is and how to get it.

Jen: So you want me to break into the records room of our old station? I can consider myself lucky if I manage to get through the doors of that place nowadays.

Blake: Which is why you should consider the offer more seriously. I doubt these fools are offering you much of a challenge. [glares from others]

Jen: [pause] So what do you want with those people. I don’t know too much about them but they’re not the kind of people you’d want to mess with.

Blake: They have [partner’s name], which is why I need to find where they are and what they’re capable of.

Jen: And you plan to do all of this alone? You haven’t changed, you always were the type to do things his own way.

Blake: Look, Jen. I need that file. If you’re going to stay here and waste your time with these lowlife thugs then I couldn’t care less, but I will do everything in my power to find these people.


When writing the script, we wanted to portray both Blake and Jen as equals, showing that neither of them had an advantage over the other and portraying Jen as a strong, independent woman. Both characters had an equal number of lines and spoke at a moderately fast pace , showing that they were comfortable conversing with each other. We took some inspiration from a scene from 'Casino Royale', which had both Bond and Vesper talking to each other in a similar fashion, though our scene is more serious given the topic they were discussing.
