Script draft help (how do I write in a screenplay format, I do not know)

Just stretching my arms or legs, don’t know which, with a couple of characters I made. I don’t know if it’ll turn into something significant. Probably not.

This is kinda a test thing based off of when my friend said that Iris’ could transform. My general idea was that John is amused at Iris’ ability and laments over his lack of cool abilities while Leif is annoyed at it and comforts John. I think the bit where John laments over his lack of cool abilities (and then seeing himself as useless to the team because of that) has a bit of an abrupt start and probably has a bit of emotional whiplash or something, I can’t tell.

Iris’ is both not and is my character. Her initial concept was done by my friend, who envisioned her as a weirdcore character with an eye for a head who can transform.

If you’re wondering who Benny Becket is. John had a wife called Lillian Louthy (based off of my other friend) who was married to John but cheated on him as, she said this not me, they didn’t have enough sex. So then she got with Bucky Barnes from the winter soldier. Benny Becket is a tailor like John, but is way more successful out of making, in John’s opinion, cheap, tacky, worthless clothes for rich people.

The name is temp


                       WHISTLE-BLOW WOODS CAMP

Iris is setting up the camp, Leif is reading his book on a
log, John is cooking soup.

John looks curiously at Leif

                  JOHN
      Leif, about your superpower

Leif closes his book

                  LEIF
            (annoyed)
      Magic isn't a superpower, it's just
      the control of th-

                  JOHN
            (happy)
      What if me and Iris have super
      powers, what would our superpowers
      be?

Leif looks confused at John

Iris looks over

                  IRIS
      Say John, what do you consider a
      'superpower'

                  JOHN
      Flying, transformation,
      invisibility, super speed, cool
      things like that!

John imagines them as heroes, Iris having super speed and
him having flight.

Iris folds her arm behind Leif

                  IRIS
      Well, looks like I'm a superhero.

                  LEIF
            (annoyed)
      Just having magic doesn't make you
      a hero.

John is jumping in his seat

                  JOHN
            (excited)
      Really, really! Show me, show me!

Iris transforms into Leif and taps him on the shoulder

John is starry-eyed, and picks up his book to draw

Iris taps Leif's shoulder

------------------------------ 2. --------------------------

Leif falls in shock

Iris is laughing as she helps Leif up

John has his hands on his waist

                  JOHN
            (serious)
      Iris, that was very supervillain of
      you, apologise!

Leif is flaring up a bit as he rubs his head

                  IRIS
            (sarcasticly)
      Ok, sorry dude. Want to hug it out?

Leif tucks in away from Iris, throwing himself into his
book.

                  LEIF
      So you can transform-

                  JOHN
      Yeah she can transform!

Leif ignores John

                  LEIF
      Can you explain how that works?

                  IRIS
      Can you explain how your superpower
      works?

Leif opens his palm

                  LEIF
      I concentrate energy into one area.

A fire appears floating above his hand

                  LEIF
      Wow fire.

                  IRIS
      What about that weird hair fire
      thing that happens when you're mad.

                  LEIF
       I was just born like that. How
      about we focus on your weird body.
      Your eye colour doesn't change,
      whats with that mark?

                  IRIS
      It just works like that, isn't that
      better anyway? Imagine if there
      were no differences.

------------------------------ 3. --------------------------

John is in deep thought

Leif shudders at the thought

                  LEIF
      Since I'm a guy, do you now have a
      d-

John barges in

                  JOHN
      Do me, Do me!

Iris transforms into John

                  IRIS
      Ok

                  JOHN
      Wow, you're so cool Iris. You and
      Leif are real superheros!

Leif clenches his book

could be either

                  JOHN
      I wish I had a superpower, then I
      could be a superhero, and be so
      cool. Just like you guys! With a
      cool superpower, I'd be a good
      member of this super team.

Or this

                  JOHN
      I wish I had a superpower, then I'd
      be a cool superhero like you guys!
      I would be even better than Benny
      Becket, show him whats what! Then
      I'd finally be a good member of
      this super team!

                  LEIF
      We're not 'heroes' because we have
      'superpowers', you're not worthless
      because you can't destroy a village
      by accident.

He sighs

                  LEIF
      You can cook, make clothes, talk to
      people, you have hobbies.

He looks away or somethingidk

                  LEIF
      I-we don't. And you're good at the
      things you do.

------------------------------ 4. --------------------------

                  IRIS
            (whispering)
      My hobbies include sunbathing,
      eating, sleeping and watching rats
      fight over bin bags. <-- need to check with the creator for this.

                  LEIF
      So stop moping over nothing, and
      watch the soup.

John is embarrassed, he shuffles closer to the soup

                  LEIF
      How about I kill Benny Becket, will
      that make you feel better?

John nods

                  IRIS
      You can't kill someone because you
      don't like them.

                  JOHN
      Leif is a [familynamehere], he
      knows what he's doing! Lets kill
      him together, Leif!

                  IRIS
      No, no killing people. All you
      get is jailtime and a bad
      reputation.

                  JOHN
      Well then you're getting...no soup,
      If you keep on being mean about it!

                  LEIF
      Let it go.

                  JOHN
            (genuine, somehow)
      Iris, I didn't mean it, sorry! I-

                  IRIS
      Its ok dude. Just give me that
      soup.

John pours soup into a bowl and gives it to Iris

Iris whispers to Leif

                  IRIS
      You're not actually going to kill
      Benny becket, right?

                  LEIF
      Maybe

------------------------------ 5. --------------------------

Iris looks at Leif with anger as he grabs the soup being
passed to him and eats it

The end now I guess

This reads like a play. Get a bunch of strangers and act this out.

I’m going to start drawing this out to see how it goes

okay
