Attack the Block Page #5

MARGARET:

Only it’s not like the kids are

even scared of the police no

more. Walking around with

knives, great big dogs, like

they own the block. Excuse my

French, but they’re f***ing

monsters, aren’t they?

SAM:

you wouldn’t know the

difference. What did the police

SAM:

Yeah. F***ing monsters.

15 EXT. ESTATE STREET - EVENING 15

The GANG walk along the street in a ragged row, MOSES

in the lead, dragging the strange CARCASS behind him,

determined and deep in thought.

Behind Moses is PEST, wiry and manic, wearing a woollen

ear-flap hat with dangling braids that makes him look

like a medieval fool. As usual, he’s CHATTERING:

PEST:

...take it to Ron’s, he watches

that National Geographic sh*t.

All man ever does is blaze,

water them big buds and watch

that nature channel.

PEST (CONT'D)

He’ll identify that for real.

Let me bell him up...

Behind PEST is JEROME, a little heavier, a little

geekier, a little softer spoken than the others. He’s

still wearing parts of his school uniform.

JEROME:

(into phone)

...it was madness fam! The Beast

of Brixton! We were crazy

kickin’ that! Some kind of non-

found-out-about creature, like

some Gears of War thing, trust!

Behind JEROME is BIGGZ, younger and shorter, bright-

eyed and snappily dressed. His mum’s interrogating him

down the phone.

BIGGZ:

(into phone)

...No mum! Playin’ football!

(listens)

I had pepperoni pizza...

(listens)

You gave me the money!

(listens)

Back by ten, I swear mum, back

by ten...

Behind BIGGZ is DENNIS. Tall, lean, boasting an Afro

and an easy swagger. Three pairs of trousers hang

absurdly low beneath his waist.

He’s rifling through SAM’S WALLET, inspecting credit

and membership cards, chucking them away as he goes.

DENNIS:

She’s a nurse innit. They don’t

get paid nothin’. Fam, why you

always pick the poor people?

16 EXT. ESTATE STREET - EVENING 16

A group of GIRLS hang out by the door to a YOUTH CLUB.

BEATS resonate from inside. The boys approach.

TIA is pretty, DIMPLES wears her school uniform. Two

younger girls, DIONNE and GLORIA, suck on lollipops.

DIMPLES:

Woy!

TIA:

Moses, what happened to your

face?

PEST:

He battled a alien that fell

from the sky, trust!

DIONNE:

Ha-ha, you’re funny.

PEST presents the CARCASS.

GLORIA:

Ergh! No! What is that?

DIONNE:

Ah! No, I’m sorry, I don’t even

wanna look at it...

TIA:

Halloween was last week you
