A bunch of bankers. Screenplay

You know Mr. James?

SEAN

The wrestler? Yes seen him on TV once or twice. I don't care if it’s all choreographed, I wouldn't want him to chuck me around a ring.

SAM

That's the man. He also owns a restaurant up on the moors. I need you to do a visit to it. Its miles from anywhere so you will make a few quid in car mileage allowance.

SEAN

Cheers mate. What do you need me to do?

Sam takes a large brown envelope from his desk and hands it to Sean.

SAM

Village needs these mortgage documents signing and sending back to Head Office as soon as possible. Mr. James will be there any time after seven.

SEAN

No problemo. I'll do it tonight.

CUT TO:

INT. BANKING HALL – NEXT

Sam makes an announcement to the staff.

SAM

Listen up everybody. The police have just informed us that there is a danger of an armed robbery in this area, probably on Friday, so let’s be extra careful please.

SARAH AND RACHAEL

On counter, serving a queue of customers, talking quietly to each other.

Sarah counting money. Smiles politely to very Tall customer in gray coat.

SARAH

Did you know the glass screen between us and Joe Public is not actually bulletproof?

RACHAEL

(looks surprised; shakes her head)

You're kidding me, right?

SARAH

(lowers her voice)

Bloody am not. Bulletproof glass counter screens are far too expensive to waste money on protecting staff against attack. I heard that a couple of years back a customer in Bolton accidentally smacked the screen with his walking stick and covered the cashier in broken glass.

RACHAEL

(in disbelieving voice)

Never!

SARAH

Absolutely Gospel. Ask Sam if you don't believe me.

RACHAEL

Then why do we have them?

Sarah turns her head to Tall customer. The customer cannot hear the conversation through the glass screen.
