PRE-PRODUCTION - TASK 8 (SCRIPT)

FADE IN. 


1. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Begins with a series of close ups of ENYA turning on the tap, lighting candle which are lines around the bath and turning on music. 

ENYA
(VO)

They say drowning is peaceful,
almost pleasurable. I hope they
aren't lying, because I've never
felt pleasure

(BEAT)
or peace. I never wanted to die
alone, but I don't have anyone
else
(BEAT)
well no one that loves me. My
mother will eventually drink
herself to death. And as for my
father
(BEAT)
I hope he's dead.

2. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

ENYA places pills on the side of the bath in a line.

ENYA
(VO)
I've put this off for far too long
now, but I know when I start
(BEAT)
there's no going back, and if this
becomes a failed suicide, then
life will be worse.

3. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

Close up of ENYA's lips and eyes as she applies lipstick and mascara, from behind she takes off her dressing gown and it drops to the floor. 

ENYA
(VO)

I mean I don't know why I'm
feeling like this, things just
keep getting worse for me. I used
to just let things go over my
head, because I understood that
bad things come before the good.
(BEAT)
The good never came. Suicide is a
sin in the eyes of God and I know

what I'm doing is "morally
incorrect", but I'm fed up of
pretending to be happy, pretending
to
(BEAT)
pretend.

4. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

ENYA steps into the bath and lays there for a while. She then dry swallows the pills one by one.
She then begins to close her eyes and slows sinks into the water.

ENYA
(VO)
When I was younger, I had
ambitions for my life, but the
future to me now is just old age,
illness and pain.

5. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

ENYA's head goes under the water and she slowly dies.

ENYA
(VO)
It's not the length of life,
(BEAT)
it's the depth. 

FADE OUT.
