Mostly what I’ve written so far has already been done somewhere and at some point. I’ve just touched it up some. Now it’s starts to get difficult. I’m at the point where I’m unsure of how to get from point A to point B and it still be entertaining and engaging. Judging by most of the movies I’ve watched lately, I’m not the only one with this problem.

MARTIN
Sam wouldn’t welch, would he?
PERRY
Welch? What does that mean?
MARTIN
To renig on a deal.
PERRY
Renig? What does that mean?
MARTIN
Jesus, Perry, you need to read more.
PERRY
Hey! No blasphemy.
MARTIN
Blasphemy? What does that mean?
PERRY
You know, when you use the lord’s name in vain.
MARTIN
I didn’t know you were a religious man.
PERRY
I’m not.
MARTIN
Then why do you care?
PERRY
Just in case. So what’s with Sam?
MARTIN
He says he already paid, then hung up on me and now he’s not answering.
PERRY
Hmm.
MARTIN
It’s not like him. It doesn’t make sense.
PERRY
Should we tell Jimmy?
MARTIN
Let’s give Sam the benefit of the doubt. We’ll see him in person first.

Hello?
DINO
Yeah, Jimmy, I’ve got your money. I want the girl back.
JIMMY (O.S.)
I think you’re confused. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
DINO
What!? I said I’ve got your money and I want my girl back! Where is she?
JIMMY (O.S.)
Dino, maybe you should shut up and come down and see me in person. Then we can clear it up.
DINO
What? Oh, okay. I’ll be down later.
Jimmy hangs up then Dino.
