Four (4) characters are in a socially derelict car park, patiently and calmly waiting for the idyllic moment to leave.
The omniscient narrator begins to speaks (whilst the characters are introduced, this is non-diegetic sound;
Here we are… One final job...
Mickey Senseless Sullivan... What he lacked in brains, he gained in brute force
Paul dynamite Dunham, a real psycho... Get on the wrong side of him and you can kiss goodbye to your kneecaps
Tony Composed Coster - Subtly adding a little sophistication to the entire ordeal

Character 1 (Mickey ‘Senseless’ Sullivan), is smugly leant against the white Ford Escort reading a tabloid, feet crossed chewing gum. As the camera moves for a medium close up shot, he looks to the camera.
Character 2 (Paul ‘Dynamite’ Dunham) is arrogantly sneering, caressing his firearm. As the camera establishes a medium close-up, the weapon is cocked and he looks to the camera.
Character 3 (Tony ‘Composed’ Coster) is egotistically smirking, stood with a glass of liquor in hand, whilst nodding & staring. As the camera comes close, with an uncanny grin he looks into the camera.
Character 4 (Joe ‘Pre-pared’ Porello) is complacently stood a little further away from the rest. He begins to speak...
And me... I’m the ingredient that keeps it all together, my name? Joe Porello.
Once a close-up shot of Character 4 has been taken, all 4 characters with co-ordinately enter the 3-door car. (Character 1 will drive).
INT. GARAGE – DAY
4 Card Players are sat around a table. The ambiance is apprehensive, the area is identifiably dimly lit, and the table is filled with cards/money/drinks/ash trays.
Primary focus is given to ‘Character 5’ (‘Chad ‘Discreet’ Dawson’) (Who is friends of the other 4 characters).
The (same) Narrator begins to speak, whilst introducing Char Dawson)
Jack Dawson was good at what he knew… and what he knew was cards. He couldn't stick to the team, though… he only played for himself. And there we have, Chad Discreet Dawson
Character 5 is seen to smugly shuffle poker chips, and then toss several into the middle of the table.
We see Character 5 throw his cards on the table, (Have some sort of identifiable good cards that most audiences will expect... i.e. 2 Aces)
** As time a progress, Character 5 slides all of his poker chips into play across the table, to which 1 of the card players matches.
** Again, Character 5 throws his cards down on the table to reveal, unfortunatley... losing cards
** As time a progress, we see Character X stand up and sweep all the poker chips towards him, an obvious win. At which point, character 5 stands up and draws a weapon and points it directly at the card player from across the table.
However, Meanwhile…
INT. STREET/DRIVE – DAY
The car is seen to arrive at the end of the drive, leading to the house. All 4 characters get out with elegance, adjusting their jackets/ties as they exit the vehicle. They all join in formation, and begin to walk down the path leading to the garage.
Upon approaching closer to the garage door, each character pulls out a firearm of some sort.
Chad has let us down before, it's about time we repaid the favour…
Character #1 opens the garage door. Joe Porello begins to speak...
(This will actually collide with the previous scene. As the card player holds the threatening gun, the garage door opens)
