Cloverfield Page #2

Synopsis: Cloverfield follows five New Yorkers from the perspective of a hand-held video camera. The movie is exactly the length of a DV Tape and a sub-plot is established by showing bits and pieces of video previously recorded on the tape that is being recorded over. The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character.

Do you know Rob's leaving?

-Like it's his going-away party.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Cool. Hey, so we're taping,

I think, people talking about him.

Oh, no, thank you.

I barely even know Rob.

I'm just coming to say hi to Lily,

so it's a little weird,

if I'm even on it, I think, but thanks.

Okay, cool,

except I'm supposed to get everybody.

So have you ever been to a wedding?

No, I get what you're doing. I just...

I don't want to do it, but thank you.

Okay, cool.

We'll just do a short one real quick.

Okay.

Hey, Rob, Marlena.

I think we've met, like,

probably three times before, total,

and every one of those times

I was really drunk,

so I don't really even know what to say.

But you have a cool job!

That's something!

-Like you're president of something!

-Vice president!

Also really cool.

So good luck with that

and we're gonna be here

keeping New York really safe

and fun for you when you come back.

-Cool, that was a really good one.

-Yeah?

Yeah, we can do

another one if you want.

Do you actually have,

like a card or something?

Well, my agency... We're leaving.

We're going on this stupid retreat

and they like all this video,

-like, bonding crap.

-Oh, yeah. I'm actually...

-I'm not a professional.

-What?

-I'm not a professional. I'm Hud.

-Hug?

No, no, no, Hud.

I'm Rob and Lily's friend.

-We met, like, several times before.

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you have the camera

in front of your face,

-it's probably why I didn't...

-Okay, here. If I move it?

-Oh, yeah. What's going on? Totally.

-Yeah.

Yeah, cool. It's nice to see you again.

-Really good to see you. Really good.

-So what have you been up to?

I actually... I'm gonna just go

grab some food,

but good luck with the...

I could still do your

agency's retreat if you wanted...

He's coming up the stairs right now.

Everybody get ready. Get ready.

Can someone turn down

the music, please?

Surprise! Surprise!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

How did you guys plan all this?

Easy, you're naive. Let's go.

-Hey. How are you?

-Take this. Take this.

-I'm sorry. Yes. Thank you.

-What's up?

Oh, hey. Yes. Good.

-What's up, man?

-Speech!

-Yeah, speech! Speech!

-Speech! Speech!

-Oh, this is very surprising...

-I hope so.

-Obviously.

-It's a surprise party.

Yeah.

But it's very sweet. So thank you. Lily?

It was everyone. It was everyone.

No, thank you, everyone.

Thank you. It's...

Oh, it means a lot, so... That's it.

That's all I got. I don't know.

-Have a good time!

-Yeah, party!

Yeah!

-Hey, man. Were you surprised?

-Yo. I was, like, not even surprised.

No? Can you describe your current

emotions right now?

I don't know. I would say blas.

Like, I'm a little... I'm just a little bored.
