Gone
(Establishing shot of the motorway cuts to Addie driving the car whilst arguing with Marcus on hands free).
Addie
I don't understand Marcus, you are too complicated.
Marcus
Addie, you're not listening to me. Sometimes I need to get away. I am the one providing for the both of us and keeping a roof over our heads.
Addie
Well, times like these I need you more than anything but guess what? You're never bloody here! As per usual.
Marcus
I can't just drop everything just for you Addie, stop being such a selfish bitch.
Addie
A selfish bitch?! (laughs with anger and shock) You're the one dropping me for everything else, just so you can splash our money on your stupid addictions.
Marcus
You have no idea what it is like for me.
Addie
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR YOU?!?!?!
(swerves and nearly hits car)
(heavy breathing and shock)
Fffffuck
Marcus
What's going on?!
Addie
Nothing, don't worry.
Marcus I cannot deal with this any longer. I know you are suffering but maybe I am too.
Marcus
What are you suffering from?! Selfish syndrome?
Addie
Oh wow. Real mature of you Marcus.
(Shot of car driving away and Addie entering the door of her house).
Addie
This conversation is too tiring Marcus.
Marcus
Ok, bye then.
Addie
Happy Anniversary to you too.
(Addie hangs the phone up).
(Shot of Marcus with his head in his hands).
Marcus
Oh shit.
(We then see Addie climb into the hot tub to relax after an extremely stressful phone call with Marcus).
(Quick shots of an unknown character unscrewing a poisonous tub of tablets that they then place into the hot tub whilst Addie is oblivious to what is about to occur).
Addie
(Addie screams and screeches in pain as she dies).
Good use of screenwriting format, and good use of tone and language here.
