INT. DAVENPORTS HALL- MIDDAY

Mr Davenport

Good day to you all welcome


To the Green estate, recently
I was informed by the doctors that
I have an advanced heart disease and
It’s not long until that lethal heart
Braces me and takes me out for good.

I have a large sum of money yet no family


Nor friends to receive this money
So I have invited you all to the table
Here to play a simple game
It’s quite basic, all you have to do is take
A marble out of this bag here and 1 million is yours
There is 50 marbles in here but,
I do not want to be going to my grave
Alone so in this bag there is 1 red marble
If you pull out that one.

Mr Davenport clicks his fingers and a butler comes over with a


cloche
Mr Davenport lifts up the cloche and takes out a hand pistol.

Mr Davenport
It will be game over for you.

Any questions ?

Emily
Yes! How did you end up with such a
large income ?

Mr Davenport
Stocks my love, I invested and they played ball

Emily
I see.

Mr Davenport claps his hands

Mr Davenport

Right shall we get on with this


Business.

The butler walks behind Richard

Mr Davenport
Richard please place your hand in the bag
And take at least one. How many are you
Going to take

Richard stops and thinks for a moment with his hand over the bag
Then withtracks his hand quickly

Richard
Why am I here then, why me

Mr Davenport
Many years ago we were on the the phone together

INT. OFFICE DESK-DAY

Richard
Mr Davenport your car insurance has doubled this month

Mr Davenport
What, this is preposterous

Richard
I’m sorry sir as you have been in an accident
This year, I’m afraid your car insurance has to be
increased
By quite the margin.
INT. DAVENPORTS HALL- MIDDAY

Richard
Oh yes I do remember

Mr Davenport places his hand forward to encourage Richard

Mr Davenport
How many are you going to take then

Richard
I think L’11 play safe and take 6

Mr Davenport
Go ahead

The butler cocks the gun behind him


Then Richard takes his shaking hand very slowly and reaches into the
bag, he counts out 5.

Mr Davenport
Are you a man of your word
Or are you woose

Richard gulps, takes a moment and takes out his last marble. It's a
white one, he is safe and fine.

The gun is lowered from the back of his head and the butler scuttles
around the table to Hannah.

Mr Davenport
Please, Girl, How much do you insist of taking

Hannah
Oh my gosh this is insane, let me take out 20, I surely
cannot pull out the red one.

Mr Davenport
WOW, we have a confident one.

Hannah starts to take out the bag quite quick and eagerly. She
pauses after around 15.

Hannah
Davenport, Sir, James knew you from a phone call
How do you know me

Mr davenport
Well what is it you do now

Hannah
I’m a full time influencer.

Mr davenport
(rolls eyes and tuts) before that…

Hannah
Oh right I was a receptionist of a hotel

Mr Davenport
Remember me, the man who demanded a
Refund because of the state of the room?

INT. RECEPTION DESK- DAY

Hannah
I’m sorry Mr Davenport, as part of
Company policy, if you have spent more than 5
Hours in the room we cannot allow a refund

Mr Davenport
This is unbelievable, I lifted up
My bedsheet and there were dirty sheets.

INT. HOTEL ROOM- DAY

Mr Davenport is seen pulling back the bed sheets and shrieking

INT. Davenport Manor- Day

Hannah
(Laughing) that's right I remember, funny that

Mr Davenport
Never mind all that, Take. Your. Last. 5!

Hannah reaches into the bag and starts to count them out

Hannah
16,17,18,19…20

Mr Davenport
Congratulations 20 million pound sterling will be wired
to your account and the end of the event.
Hannah looks gleaming of joy, but does not celebrate because she
still has the gun behind her head.

Davenport signals to the butler to holster the weapon and move onto
the third candidate

Mr Davenport
Ah third time is the charm is what they say,
I wish you (takes a pause and looks down in seriousness)

Lily starts to hyperventilate

Grace
Sir, if you don't mind, do you know Lily
Better than the rest of us.

Mr Davenport
I do indeed, Lily here was my first
Personal assistant
After the first big break through in my investments
I employed Lily to keep charge of my social life

Lily

(butting in) and you barely paid me at all!

Mr Davenport

(sternly) one more word out of you and I’ll have


You out of this game.

Davenport hits his hand on the table.

Mr Davenport

Well…

Lily shrugs

Mr Davenport

Are you going to take any then?

Lily
Actually you know what, I will 30 for me please
30 million of your money will make up for you replacing
Me.

Mr Davenport

Go ahead I’d love to see how this goes


Lily smugly puts her hand into the bag and just like the others she
starts counting out her marbles.

On the 26th marble, she slows down and takes a breath, she pushes
the bag away.

Mr Davenport

Well you knew the rules, you have to


take out as many as you declare

Do you regret being so smug?

Sweating, Lily pulls the bag towards her, then reaches in and takes
out the 27th marble, It's the red one, she looks at it for a second,
her eyes widen

Mr Davenport
Ha, it worked, Thank you Lily, I’m not going
To die alone

Lily
What no, this is a joke, surely not, your sick…

Mr Davenport raises his hand to encourage the butler.

The gun gets shot

Lily flops onto the table with a bullet wound in the back of her
head. Hannah sat next to her screams and has blood on her the side
of her face

Mr Davenport

That is one thing you can all


Take from this, Greed
And smugness will never work out
In your favour.

Nevertheless we still have one more of you


To take from my bag.
Emily my dear, what are you thinking?

Emily

(in shock) This game is madness,


I want to refuse to take any marbles.

Mr Davenport

YOU MUST TAKE AT LEAST ONE.


The butler walks over to Emily and reloads his gun.

Emily

Okay, I… I will, can I just ask you something.


Did you ever eat at the Avarice Inn in Crowthorne

Mr Davenport
I did you are right

Emily
I recognise you
You're that man who I-

Mr Davenport

That man that you split a large glass of red wine


On and cost me a fortune in dry cleaning?

Yes you are that girl!

INT. PUB/ RESTAURANT- AFTERNOON

Emily
Okay and for you Sir I have the
Large glass of Chateau Lafleur

Emily spills the glass on Davenport’s white shirt

Mr Davenport

How dare you, Let me Talk


To your manager

INT. Davenport Manor- Day

Emily
I do apologise for that mr Davenport

Mr Davenport
Apology accepted, now
If you would please take just 1 marble

Emily gulps and reaches her hand in, shaking and nervous. She puts
her hand in, eyes shut, and takes out 1 marble in her first, she
turns her hand over, and opens her fist to reveal the marble, It’s
white. She has a sigh of relief and lays back in her chair.

Mr Davenport
Congratulations are in order I guess
Well done you… 3, please leave your account details with
My butler here and we will be onto the bank to transfer
your
winnings across.

Emily
NO! This is wrong, My money is going to Lily's family,
she got brought into this game and wrongfully died.

Mr davenport

I simply won't have it, she knew if she was too greedy
She would die, it was all on her, she could have been
safe
And take just the 1 like you did.

You didn’t be greedy and you took what you had to, to
survive

In this world the insatiable hunger that consumes us


all, drives us to desire more and more. What is it
about wealth and power that makes us willing to
sacrifice everything in pursuit of it?
Is it the thrill of the chase? The rush of
adrenaline that comes with taking risks and pushing
the limits? Or is it the fear of being left behind,
of not having enough, of missing out on something
that others have? No matter the reason, greed has
the power to corrupt even the purest of souls. It
twists our thoughts and perverts our values, making
us forget about the things that truly matter in
life.

Mr davenport suddenly then reaches for his chest in pain


He starts having a heart attack and drops down onto the floor,
the butler rushes over to check his pulse

Butler
Nothing.

Richard
He's dead!

Hannah
What about the winnings
Butler
The winnings are still going to be in your account.

The 3 of the get up off their seats and walk out the room

EXT. A PATHWAY- EVENING

The 3 walk off with Smiles on their face.

Actor Confirmations

All of my actors confirmed willingly.


Contingency plan
What do I do if one of my actors doesn’t show up?
If an actor doesn’t show up I will contact another person if they can be within my production last
minute, I ideally do not want this to happen as all my actors have been briefed. If I cannot find
anyone I will need to film on another day, I have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to also film.

What do I do if there is rain when I’ve Planned an exterior shot?

If this occurs I will need to once again get my actors further on within the week to film.
I have given myself excess time to edit my production and by doing this I have a lot of time free.
Costing List
50 white marbles- £6.80 on eBay
2 red marbles- £1 Hamleys
