Prisoner’s Dilemma: The Draft Script Part 2 of 2

The script continues...

The two suspects both narrow their eyes.

          DISSOLVE TO:

FLASH

The elderly version of the Male Suspect is covered in grey hair, gripping the bars of the jail cell window. Outside, Female Suspect, young as ever, laughs and rides off into the sunset with an expensive car.

  FEMALE SUSPECT

Woo-hoo!

                      MALE SUSPECT

BITCH!

DISSOLVE TO:

FLASH

The elderly version of the Female Suspect has her false denture falling out of her mouth, hitting the bars of the jail cell. Outside, her youthful partner, the Male Suspect steps on the gas pedal of his motorcycle and the engine springs to life.

   MALE SUSPECT

See ya!

         

                       FEMALE SUSPECT

                     (muffled)

Bastard!

    

BACK TO SCENE

             FEMALE & MALE SUSPECT

          (simultaneously)

That’s it he/she is going down!              

   LULU (V.O.)

So the Prisoner’s Dilemma theory predicts that because each player assumes the worst from the other, both will confess and get the medium sentence.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE JAIL HOUSE – DAY

The Male Suspect and the Female Suspect both get released by the COP. Both are startled to see the other. Female Suspect walks up to MALE SUSPECT and slaps him. He looks shock, then slaps her back. Both walk away in anger in the opposite direction.

 LULU (V.O.)

I guess they won’t be working together again. So mutual betrayal beats rotting in jail for a long time, but not as great as walking away scot free!
