BEDROOM
ROBIN
Well that was an odd noise I wonder
who that was... Someone in the house
possibly?
MORGAN
Ah...! Robin! What do you mean
someone? there is no one here besides
us!
ROBIN
But what if someone is here? (gasp)
did someone break in?! Who do you
think it is?
MORGAN
Wha- No! No one is here, stop putting
that crap into my head it was just a
noise and nothing else!
ROBIN
Just a noise? Oh come on! Like what?
the pipes that clang a bit or the
creaky floorboards and walls of this
place? that's boring! it's obvious
there is someone here~
INT. SUBCONSCIOUS
MORGAN
Ugh... (sigh) Fine! Who the hell is
here and what do they want?
ROBIN
What do they want? huh... Oh! Someone
terrible! It's obvious they broke in
to murder us! (chuckles)
MORGAN
What? That's not funny, That's
serious! and besides there is no one
here- Huh...?
Hands start to form around MORGAN and grab at her, she grows
worried but soon annoyed
MORGAN
Robin! stop messing with me this isn't
funny!
ROBIN
Oh no you're right! it's very serious,
see all of these unwanted eyes
watching you... you cant see them but
they can see you. all the time. How
does it feel huh? Any moment someone
could BURST in and HURT YOU! they're
waiting.
VOICES
we can see you, you're scared, you're
overthinking, it's just a thought.
MORGAN
Ugh... stop it ROBIN! I just want to
sleep -ack! I said STOP!
CUT TO BLACK
INT. BEDROOM
ROBIN
You know those won't do anything
right? and even if you do take them it
just proves how weak you are!
Visuals lurk from behind the door and crawl slowly towards
MORGAN. MORGAN looks at the tablets for a moment before
looking up to the door.
MORGAN
Robin... just drop it, It's way past
midnight...
ROBIN
Oh but you're not listening! Can you
hear that? Someone is right here in
your room! See--
MORGAN
Oh for god's sake Robin! Could you
just stop fucking around?!
ROBIN
Uh- Language! and no, I am very
serious about this!
MORGAN
All I ask for is for one night without
your annoying comments...
MORGAN sits with her face in her hands and goes to take her
tablets before ROBIN interrupts
ROBIN
Annoying comments?! They're to help
you! Look at you, you're weak! Clearly
taking those Sleeping tablets wont do
you any good!
MORGAN
WEAK?! These sleeping tablets are the
only thing that will stop you from
spouting this BULLSHIT!
ROBIN pushes MORGAN to the ground and the tablets fall out of
MORGAN's hands. silence falls and the room distorts around
ROBIN.
ROBIN
You just don't get it do you Morgan? I
AM SIMPLY PROTECTING YOU, YOU'RE
WORTHLESS WITHOUT ME.
INT. SUBCONSCIOUS
ROBIN (VOICES)
Nobody cares about you, You're mess.
You keep falling behind. everyone is
looking at you. waste of space.
MORGAN
(grunts)... S-stop it... (huffs)... I
SAID STOP
ROBIN
Why are you even trying to fight it?
Don't you see everything you do, you
always get hurt?
ROBIN
You lose friends, you lose
opportunities to better yourself and
you wanna know why?
ROBIN
You keep fucking up. Every time you
take a step forward in bettering
yourself I'm going to keep reminding
you there is no point (stomp), no one
cares (stomp). They all hate you
(stomp). You're better off here,
inside away from everything that can
hurt hurt you. (stomp)
MORGAN
You're right, why even try? but I'm
not just going to give up that easily.
MORGAN
I'd rather fail trying than not try at
all. I get it, shit hits the fan and
you think you cant come back from it,
It seems to cliche to admit this but --
it's okay. It's fine.
MORGAN
Yes, I admit that I've lost some
important people in my life and missed
out on potentially great
opportunities, but that doesn't mean
there's no second try, it doesn't mean
there's no tomorrow and that
definitively doesn't mean I should
give up!
MORGAN
But sitting here and thinking it will
be worse and blaming myself will only
make that more true...
MORGAN
I hope you can realise that soon, and
when you do... maybe I can get a good
night's sleep.
