I am writing a new script, and doing it right this time. It has similar qualities to my other script, but I feel this one's more better, more what i'm looking for.
Here's a very vague outline.
Starts off with Mark and Holly at their neighbors', Irene and Harold, New Year's Eve party. Mark lounges alone by the drinks, Holly flirts with Harold, Irene sits alone, with a big smile on her face.
Mark knows his wife is cheating on them, he brings it up with her, she denies it. He gets desperate for solutions, he loves her very much and has faith in them. He talks to his employee at Burger King, Dan, about this. Dan suggests scaring the shit out of the man. Mark borrows Dan's gun, runs into the room with a gun, accidentally drops it, bam! Harold's dead. Holly freaks out and Mark ties her down.
While disposing of the body (Mark is a nauseous man so he cant do it himself), Irene shows up asking for sugar. She finds her husband dead on the floor and freaks out, during the commotion it is said that Harold was cheating on Irene with Holly. This freezes irene, and sends her crying and beating her dead husband. She loved him very much, and her fantasy world is now ruined by his unfaithfulness.
They go to dispose of the body (Dan's in this croiwd by the way, afterall, is is his fun),Irene hates her husband now, Mark sees visions of Harold, so does Irene. Shit might go on here, I have yet to decide. Later on Dan may also deal Mark and/or Irene drugs that they will use to cope with. Irene gets depressed, Mark is there for her. She slowly begins to fall for him and go insane.
Irene decides to kill another woman Harold once had an affair with. She finds it the right thing to do. She tells Mark she will tattle on him if he doesn't tag along. They go to her house, chase her around, finally she shoots him, the corpse falls on Mark, who passes out. Irene imagines Mark to be Harold, and rapes him while he's passed out. Mark awakens and Irene speaks of the sex, calls him Harold, and then speaks of "one last problem to solve." Mark KNOWS this means Holly. He calls up Dan, and tells him to get her the fuck out of there. Mark tries to stop Irene, she gets in the car, drives off, Mark takes the keys to the lady irene just killed's car, drives off. He meets up with Dan, gets Holly, drives off, Irene follows.
In the car mark explains what's going on and unties her. Instead of being appreciative, Holly lives up to her bitch rep and says things like "you just wait till i get my hands on a phone" and "im divrocing you." She makes Mark pull the car to the side and walks off. Just then Irene is coming, Mark gives up on Holly, he knows he can save her, but decides not to. Irene kills Holly. Then, like the maniac she became, gets out of the car and beats the shit out of Holly's body. Mark takes Irene's keys, and drives off, leaving Irene beating a dead body in the middle of the road.
"Harold, Harold honey, come back! Harold! Harold, where are you going?!" she shouts from behind, covered in Holly's blood. Mark drives and drives, and passes a hitchhiker who happens to be another figment of his imagination(he has them often, so does Irene, remmeber i said he sees Harold)and it's Harold as the hitchhiker, holding up a sign that says "THE END"
I plan on calling it COLD TURKEY, since throughout the movie Mark will be trying to quit smoking. Tell me what you think.
