Max Landis - Chronicle Screenplay - Scene 4 lyrics

EXT. HAVEN HILLS FARM - NIGHT We're in Matt's car, driving on a dark dirt road, past an old fence and rusted out farm equipment. ANDREW (O.S.): Are you sure it's here? (beat) Are you sure it's here, this all looks closed- MATT: It's here, calm down. Listen. We can faintly hear party music. ANDREW (O.S.): Oh yeah. EXT. HAVEN HILLS FARM - BARN Cars are parked outside a big abandoned barn as Matt and Andrew approach. We see Christmas lights strung up, and there's clearly a party going on inside the barn. Kids are milling about outside, too, drinking, f**ing around. MATT: Hey dude, don't follow me around all night. ANDREW (O.S.): What? MATT: Don't follow me around all night, okay? ANDREW (O.S.): What am I supposed to do? I thought you said you didn't want to go alone- MATT: Talk to people? Have a beer, I don't know. Andrew skulks around the party, which is clearly in full swing. Lots of bad footage of people talking, drinking, girls dancing s**y, guys joking around. Andrew is silent and detached, just filming. He sees a girl, CASEY Letter, 16, filming as well. They shout over the music. CASEY: Hey, what are you filming for? ANDREW (O.S.): Oh, I don't- just filming. CASEY: What? I'm filming for my blog! ANDREW (O.S.): What? CASEY: I have a video blog! Why are you filming? Andrew simply backs away. More footage of the party. AUSTIN, 18, in an Ed Hardy shirt, comes out of nowhere. He's clearly a little drunk. AUSTIN: Hey, were you filming my girlfriend? Yes or no, were you filming my girlfriend? ANDREW (O.S.): No, I wasn't filming anyone specific, just filming the party. AUSTIN: (beat) Okay, good, because I don't wanna have to beat your a**. ANDREW (O.S.): Okay. AUSTIN: Don't talk back to me. Don't get smart, okay, I'm being nice here. I'm being nice to you. (beat) Say okay. ANDREW (O.S.): Okay- AUSTIN: Cause I know you were filming my girlfriend dancing. I should break your f**ing nose, you know that? You know that, I should beat your a** right now, but I'm trying to be nice. f** you. Austin abruptly throws his beer on Andrew, getting some on the camera, and then spits on him. Andrew backs up, shocked, lowering the camera. EXT. HAVEN HILLS FARM - EDGE OF THE WOODS Andrew's out alone in a field now, furiously cleaning the lens of the camera, obstructing our view. Cut to a few moments later; the camera now resting in his lap or on the ground. We can see the barn, the party still going on. After a few moments, we can faintly hear Andrew crying. STEVE (O.S.): (loud, sudden) Are you Andrew? ANDREW (O.S.): (startled) What- STEVE: Are you Andrew-with-the-camera? (beat) Matt's cousin, Matt said you had a camera? The camera is picked up to reveal STEVE “Kaz” Kazinksy, 17, approachably handsome and in great shape, with an easygoing, instantly likeable charisma. He's a little drunk and giddy. STEVE (CONT'D): Dude, are you okay? ANDREW (O.S.): I'm Andrew. STEVE: I'm Steve Kazinsky- ANDREW (O.S.): No, I know. STEVE: ...yeah? ANDREW (O.S.): Everybody knows who you are. STEVE: Haha, yes, that is true. Listen, come on, bring the camera. ANDREW (O.S.): What? I don't- STEVE: Come on. Steve starts off, but Andrew hesitates. ANDREW (O.S.): I don't- STEVE: Dude, come on, we found something...
