The scene then cuts to beside a tree, with Liam emerging from
behind the tree, a tracking shot then follows Liam Callaghan
walking down the path towards his grandmother’s grave. It is then
followed by an over the shoulder shot looking down on his
grandmother's grave then a low angle from the gravestone looking
up at him, as he mourns over the death of his grandmother.
A long shot will then be used to show Liam Callaghan walking away
and following another path through the graveyard, with a tracking
shot in front of him. Then cutting to a shot from beside a
gravestone with him approaching it and then an over the shoulder
shot looking down on his wife's grave.
The shot then cuts to a frame within a frame being shot from the
stairway showing what's going on through the doorway, we see him
drink and slowly delve deeper into his depression.
Then cutting to a shot in front of him throwing the bottle
against the wall, as it shatters and he sits there in tears
crying to himself.
An over the shoulder shot will be used showing him sliding the
glass across slightly, then cut to a close up of him fully
sliding it across and blood pouring out of his wrist and he
passes out and the scene fades to black.
Doctor
(Looking at his clipboard)
Quite a hard time you gave us their huh.
Liam Callaghan
(Laying down still looking up.)
Hm.
Doctor
(Looking up at him)
Do you have anyone to come get you, or are you good to go by
yourself?
Liam Callaghan
(Looking really depressed, staring into blank space, not giving
any eye contact)
No, I'm good.
Doctor
(Looking back at his clipboard)
If you have any headaches or, seem to be getting any worse please
be sure to contact us straight away.
Liam Callaghan
(Releasing the note out of his hands looks at it once again)
If she thought of me the way she said she did, then she wouldn’t
have left me this.
(Medium shot) Liam Callaghan puts the note in his pocket with
such force, puts his hoodie on and keeps walking.
The scene then opens up to Liam Callaghan jumping out of his Sofa
(still will a Birds-eye view), followed by a Medium shot, from
beside him. Liam Callaghan takes the note out of his pocket
again, and a POV shot is used looking at the note.
Liam Callaghan
(Clenching his fist with the note)
Oh heck, why not!
Liam Callaghan
(Looking at his note, and showing the man)
Excuse me, sir, do you know if I'm in the right place?
Stranger
(Takes a look at the note, and looks up at the building)
Yeh, you're in the right place.
Liam Callaghan
(Putting the note back in his pocket)
Thanks!
(Medium shot) Liam Callaghan and Stranger part ways. A POV shot
will be used to show Liam Callaghan looking back up at the
building.
After this exchange, Liam enters the building with more questions
in his mind than answers. A long shot is used to show Liam

Wrath
(Slamming his hand the table)
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!
Lust
(Touching Wrath on the hand gently)
It’s ok hunny it happens. You win some you lose some.
Wrath
(slides his hand away and gives lust a death stare)
Don't. just fucking don't.
A POV shot of greed. Greed would have many cards up his sleeves
and in his pockets. He would change some cards around trying to
to get caught. This is followed by a medium shot of Greed.
Greed
(Looking happy cheating as much as possible)
Read em and weep boys.
(Placing down a royal flush)
Wrath
(Looking even angrier)
Fuck this fucking shitty game!
(Flips the table and storms out)
POV shot from Liam Callaghan, of Wrath storming out the room and
pushing him backwards a bit.
Greed
Well, I guess I win.
(Raises his hands as the cards fall out his sleeve)
Liam Callaghan walks into the room looking around really puzzled
(Tracking shot from over the shoulder).
Greed
Well. I’ll take my winnings and be off.
(Greed just walks out and vanishes)
Lust
(Walking out vanishing)
I should probably go calm wrath.
Envy
(Envy follows)
Why don't you ever try and help me out huh?
Liam
(looking confused he takes a seat in a chair)
What is going on...
Pride
(Looking at Liam)
Why hello there, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. You see Sloth
requires a minimum of 20 hours of sleep PER day. Wake him up if
you would wish for your eyes ripped out from your face. Not by me
of course but by. Well sleeping beauty himself, only he isn't
beautiful.
Liam
(looking insanely confused moves his finger away from sloth and
gulps)
W-Wait what? Who? Where are you? God is it you.
Pride
(Snaps his fingers)
How could you not notice me? Typical, always ignoring the beauty
in the world.
Liam
(More confused)
Oh...wait why are you here? Who are you?
Pride
(placing his newspaper away)
We’ve been expecting you, Lucius, your grandmother said you’d
arrive.
Liam
(Looks kinda hurt his grandma didn't remember his name)
It's..Liam.
Pride
Shit so much for the serious tone I had going there, sorry Luis.
(Smiles like he’s done a good job)
Pride
(Smiling)
Well, I guess sleeping beauty is up.
Liam
(Backs away)
W-W-Wait what?
Pride
(Laughs slightly)
He’ll only hurt you if you wake him up. Actually, there was that
one time when he nearly bit lust’s finger off even though she
never woke him up... If it's natural...he’ll just complain that
he wants to sleep for 4 more hours.
Liam
(Gulping backing away slightly, becoming a little more
comfortable around pride)
Uhh..umm..ok I think?
Pride
(Cracking his fingers)
Alright so who are we your wondering. We are the saviors of
humanity, steal from the rich give to the weak-
Sloth
(Sits up)
Wrong. We my uhh person thing I can't tell what you are right now
sleep vision, but we are not allowed to tell you what we are
unless your name is Lucas.
Pride
(Sitting up)
It's Lucian…
Sloth
(Looking tired)
No, no I’m 100% certain is Lucas.
Pride
(Leaning forward)
Or was it...Luis.
Sloth
(Nodding)
I think it might’ve been.
Liam
(Head in his hands)
It’s Liam guys...Liam.
Pride
(smiles)
Oh wait..yeah it was Liam.
Liam
(Looking puzzled)
So can I know who you are? And what you are doing here?
Sloth
(looks tired)
Well... I guess we can tell you then. We are the physical
embodiments of the seven deadly sins. You see, we were perishing
in hell, our souls burning for eternity until your grandmother
summoned us attempting to rescue us from our damnation. But,
there was a catch. You see we can only leave once we all help
someone. She brought us here to help you.
Liam
(Looking confused)
What's that in… English
Pride
(looks at Liam shaking his head)
In basic terms. We bad but we can be good if help you. Yes.
Liam
(Looks at pride)
Ok... I get it now. Good prank guys, now get off my property
whilst I find a way to end it.
We get an over the shoulder shot from Pride looking down at Liam.
Pride
(Arms crossed once again looking down at Liam.
What do you think you're doing? Why would you try something as
stupid as this, ending your life? Over what, you lose a few
people, a couple things don't go your way and you're ready to end
it. Seriously dude what's your problem.
Liam
(Looks sad and angry up at pride)
What do you know about me, got a son who hates me and was taken
away, my wife died in a mugging when she got stabbed, got no job,
my family sees me as a burden, I have a drinking problem. What do
you know about me?
Pride
(looks away and has a harsh serious tone)
Your grandma cared y'know. She wouldn't wanna see you like this,
she summoned us to help you, to bring you out of this darkness
you put yourself in. Believe me, you can get through this. If you
let us help.
We get a medium shot of Liam looking down with his arms resting
on his leg’s, he then puts his hand on his forehead, which is
followed by a close up of him. There is then a medium shot from
beside him as Pride puts his hand on Liam’s shoulder
Pride
(Looking down)
Just let us help… And stop pushing people out of your life…
Liam
(Removing his hand from his face)
How can you help anyway?
Pride
(Shaking his head)
We have our specialties.
Pride
(Biting on his pen)
CLASS IS NOW IN SESSION.
(Not knowing what a therapist does)
Pride
(Really confused)
What does a therapist do exactly?
Liam
(shaking his head)
I thought you said you have your “specialties”, and you don’t
even know what you're doing?
Pride
(Shaking his head)
IM RUSTY OK! It’s been 100 years since I’d last done this.
Liam
(Looking shocked)
How fucking old are you then?
Pride
(Smiling)
Around 429 years young…
Liam
(Looking at him)
Are you… Mentally alright by any chance?
Pride
(Smiles)
Nope! Now... tell me your problems in as much detail as possible.
Liam
(Looking up at him)
So ba-
Pride
(Stopping him)
Wait give me a second my pen has no ink.
(Pride puts his hand in his pocket’s taking out many
pens.)
Liam
Are you gonna help or not.
Liam
I Told you upstairs.
Pride
Ahh yes. Now I will instruct you. Write down everything troubling
you. On a sheet of paper. And write down everything you like
about yourself on another sheet of paper. Keep the sheet with the
good things close to you at all times and read it whenever you
feel down. And the sheet with all the bad things...BURN IT!
(He pulls out a lighter)
Liam
(Looking up at him)
Burn it?
Pride
(Looking really excited)
Yea. you burn all your problems out of your life. You let go.
Liam then sits up, (POV shot) looking at him taking the pen and
paper and starts writing down everything that comes into mind. He
then hands it over to pride letting him read it. We are then
given a close up of pride’s face where he looks really shocked.
He carries on reading everything he has written on both the
papers. There is then a medium shot showing both Pride and Liam.
Pride rests his hands on his knees as he's looking at Liam.
Pride
(Really shocked)
Wow, really deep stuff you have written here. But the thing I
don’t get is… why don’t you have anything written on things you
like about yourself?
Liam
(Looking up)
Because… There is nothing I really... like about myself.
Pride
(Thinking really hard)
There are many stuff. Cmon just try right something.
Pride hands Liam back the papers. We are then given a Close up of
Liam’s pen and the paper, slowly showing him writing something,
we are then given a close up of Pride nodding his head and
smiling as to what he is seeing. Pride then hands Liam the
lighter, looking him in the eye (Medium shot)
Pride
(Waiting for him to burn it)
Go on then.
Liam
(Looking down)
Are you sure you want me to burn it… All?
Pride
(Looking up at him)
Yeh, fuck the bad stuff in life, just burn in.
Pride
(Looking at the paper smiling)
Let all the anger, hatred and bad stuff in life just burn away.
Pride
(Looking at Liam)
So?
Liam
(Looking up confused)
So? What?
Pride
(Shaking his head)
So did it do anything
Liam
(Face palming himself)
I don’t know I feel the same?
Pride
Yeh, physically it didn’t… But what I’m asking you is did it do
anything… MENTALLY…?
Liam
(Looking back up)
I don’t know?
Pride
Did I say you can leave? Now then time to make this…
Pride points at Liam. And then takes out a magazine, (POV SHOT
FROM LIAM)
Pride
(Pointing at someone on the magazine
Into… This…
Liam
Hold on wh-
Pride
Sh. Sh. Sh. Just roll with it.
The scene fades out.
Pride
(Smiling)
PERFECT
We are then given a close up of Liam’s face going into a face of
despair, Liam starts shaking his head slowly at Pride, we are
then given a close up of Pride shaking his head at Liam. This is
then followed by a montage (Medium shot) of Liam wearing stupid
stuff, with many close-ups of Pride’s face nodding and Liam
shaking his head until finally, they find the perfect one that
suits him perfectly.
Pride
(Nodding his head)
Perfect… How do you feel
Liam
(Smiling for the first time)
Like a new man
