First day of Screenplay

Well, not really, considering how I started like a day ago or something. But since I'm really sick, and I'm in no mood to talk about my "wonderful" day, here's the first exert from my screenplay, it's called Greekology!! Enjoy!!


8 Inside Hyperion’s Palace Day
Three kids run around the house, one boy and two girls. All of them are around ten to twelve. One of the girls is pulling on the other girl’s hair, trying to comb it. She is wearing a bright peach chiton and her skin glows. The other girl is screaming. She wears a pale white, grayish, tunic and her skin is sickly pale.
GIRL #1
Stop it!! You’re hurting me!! Mother!

GIRL #2
It’s your monstrous hair, sister, you wanted me to help.

GIRL #1
Well, now I don’t, I want mother to help me, MOTHER!!

GIRL #2
Mean, that’s what you are, a heartfelt aid thrown in the trash!

GIRL #1
MOTHER!!

The boy runs around, looking under tables and chairs. He goes to the girls and lifts their feet to see what is under them.

GIRL #2
Stop that, Helios, what are you looking for?

HELIOS
Something very important for father. (Shouting) I think the wood nymph took it!!

He gets up and puts his hands on his hips. He looked around still, confused and panting hard.

GIRL #1
You’ll never find it if you just remain standing there like a statue.

HELIOS
Oh, be quiet, Eos, I’ve been searching a fair bit, what are you doing?

EOS
Getting Selene ready for her audience with Cronus, they’re going to see how helpful she is in the plan.

SELENE
It’s not just me, why are you not getting ready yourself.

EOS
Because I’m forever gorgeous, and you are far from it, we have to help the needy, don’t we.

SELENE
Hey!!

EOS
Am I wrong? Now hold still!

Eos goes back to pulling Selene’s hair to straighten it and Selene continues to wince. Helios looks around himself once more and then gets to his hands and knees and crawled to search the floor. Then after a while, a women with a bright yellow peplos on comes into the room and looks worried. She first looks around the room as if she is also looking for something. Then she crouches down and looks under and over the furniture.

WOMAN
When was the last time you saw it, Helios?

HELIOS
(Continues searching)
I know answers to many questions.

WOMAN
And?

HELIOS
That is a question I will have to get back to you on.

WOMAN
This is no time for jokes, Helios, we have to find it!

SELENE
Help me mother, Eos will turn me into her if she keeps this up, and that is the most horrifying thing for a girl, you know.

EOS
HEY! That’s where you’re wrong, see…

WOMAN
Daughters, please, cannot you see I am in a hectic state right now and is in no mood to help you.

SELENE
But Mother…
WOMAN
Eos, let your sister get ready for herself, and you need to dress more appropriately, the light blue green chiton should do it.

EOS
But mother, I’m not done with Selene…

WOMAN
No more, do you understand?

EOS
Alright.

SELENE
(fixing her hair)
What is it you are looking for any way, Mother?

WOMAN
Something very important for the meeting tonight, something both your father and Cronus needs right now. You know your father’s old helmet and sword?

EOS
Yes.

WOMAN
Well, it’s the exact replica of that.

SELENE
Then how is it important?

WOMAN
It makes your father look better, it’s the set that Cronus gave him after all, does not work, but perhaps seeing it will make Cronus favour your father in the chaos that is to come. And when such turmoil is about to be released, you would want to be favoured to live.

HELIOS
And that’s why we need to look for it!!

Both Selene and Eos joins the search, all of them looking under tables and in cupboards, etc.
