Title: Criminal Activity

Scene 1: The crime

Tim: “We can’t do this, it’s too dangerous. You want me to climb up a bank, lock pick the window, get as much money as I can and then jump down. Plus we’ll probably go to prison for at least 30 years if we get caught.”

Samuel: “We’re not going to get caught because it’s 1 o’clock in the morning and no one can see us. Remember you get 50% of the money you steal, (pausing) so it’s worth it. Are you up for it?”

Tim: “Alright fine, but I want the money as soon as I get down…OK.”

Samuel: “Yes master. (laughing under his breath) Wait, before you go take this walkie talkie.” 

(Tim takes the walkie talkie then climbs up the building)

Tim: “There’s so much money here (whispering).“

Samuel: “Na you don’t say, it’s a bank! (talking to himself)“

(Tim gets his bag and starts raiding through all the safes rummaging for money. He then climbs back through the window)

Samuel: “Alright Tim. Throw it down then jump.”

Tim: “Are you mad? I’m taking this for myself, nothing for you!”

(Tim jumps down and lands in a bin, he jumps out and starts running. Samuel pulls out a gun and starts chasing after him)

Samuel: “I SWEAR I’M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN I CATCH YOU!”

Samuel:”COME HERE!”

(Woman walking, sees Tim running and Samuel chasing him with a gun. She calls 999)

Woman: “There’s a man chasing another man with a gun!”

Police Officer 1:”Where are you mam?”

Woman:”I am in Union Avenue, SE1, Elephant and Castle.”

Police Officer 1: “I’ll be there right away.”

Women: “Thank you sir.”

(5 minutes later 5 police officers turn up)

Police Officer 1: “We are going to tape down this area to make sure they don’t escape, I’m also going to send 4 police officers to search the area.”

Police Officer 2: (as he runs he sees Samuel running holding the gun) “Hey you come here!”

Samuel:”Oh no”

(Police Officers 2 and 3 chase Samuel whilst Police Officers 4 and 5 chase Tim)

Police Officer 3:”We got them sir”(holding Samuel in cuffs whilst Police officer 4 holds Tim)

Scene 2: The court

Judge: “Order, everyone sit down please!”(banging his hammer)

(Everybody sits down and stops talking)

Judge: “Today we have Samuel Ruins versus Timothy Curlew. Are both cases ready?”

Tim: “Ready sir.”

Samuel: “Ready sir.”

Judge: “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?”

Samuel: “Yes sir.”

Tim: “Yes sir.”

Judge: “So according to Timothy Curlew, you Samuel Ruins threatened him into robbing a bank and after chased him with a gun. Is that correct sir?”

Samuel: “That is not true!”

Judge: “Is there anything you would like to say at this point in time Timothy?”

Timothy: “Yes, that is a complete lie. He was threatening me with a gun which is why when the police caught him he was armed with a gun!”

Samuel:”That is not true!”

Judge:”Okay! Please stop arguing”(banging her hammer)

Judge:”So let me get something straight, who is the criminal here?”

(Samuel and Tim pointed at each other)

Judge:”It says here that you, Samuel Ruins were seen chasing Timothy with a glock 17 and then after swore at a police man when he attempted to disarm you”

Samuel:”Are you mad! You really believe all that rubbish”(waving around his arms)

Judge:”Don’t talk to me like that!”

Timothy:”Um I believe that what you are saying is t…”

Samuel:”Shut up and stop trying to make it seem like I am th… “

Judge:”Please stop talking without my permission”(banging her hammer twice now)

Security Guard:”Excuse me sir there is someone wanting to get in”

Judge:”Let him in…”
