Sorry rewrite "frankenstein"

Sorry
By David Neale
















































INT. Building

MATT JACOBSON, a tall teenager, is in a stereotypical office. When he accidentally bumps into another person.

MATT
Sorry

EXT. Train station

Matt is in a well maintained c2c train station. Matt is sitting on a pink clean bench. A stranger comes along knocks Matt's bag off aggressively and sits next to him.

MATT
Sorry

INT. Building

Matt is in, the same office building, in line when a stranger cuts in front of him.

MATT
Sorry

EXT. Field

Matt is on a dirty bench making notes, on a battered notepad, while a rough football match is taking place. Then a football slams into him, hard, knocking him to the ground.

MATT
Sorry

ADAM WOOD, a teenager the same height as Matt, then picks him up.

MATT
Sorry

ADAM
You have got to stop apologising

MATT
Sorry

ADAM
Well our disappointment of a team are behind, so lets go home

EXT. Street

Matt and Adam are walking down an abandoned street, with litter on the gap between road and path.

Adam
Whats the reason to why you keep saying sorry

Matt
It's meant to be common courtesy

Adam
Well yeah, but other people don't do the same, so why should you. Look at me for example. I do what I want, when I want, letting nobody in the way. You could learn a thing or two from me.

Matt is bumped into by a stranger.

Matt
Sorry

Adam
Hit me

Matt
Why on earth would I do that

Adam
It will let you know what it feels like to be less polite, which will in turn stop you saying sorry.

Matt
Sorry... I wont harm you

Adam
You see i could easily stop saying sorry because I can adapt to do anything I put my mind to. That is why my life is so great and yours is so...
Adam accidentally steps on Matt's foot.

Adam
Aren't you going to apologise?

Matt punches Adam in the face knocking him to the ground.

Matt
Maybe I can't stop saying sorry but don't tell me your better than me. Your love life is terrible. Yeah I know about CARRIE is cheating on you with that guy in her college. You have worse grades than me and you are a sore loser. I could forgive all of that if you weren't such a bad friend.

Adam
That hurt my feelings

Matt
Sorry
