    CHARACTER #David

    (Groans (same time as Javan))

    The characters Seth, Javan and David join Lois and Noah on the

    sofa.

    They sit silently.

    Lois and Noah exchange knowing glances, they nod and slowly

    rise from their seats. Unsuspectingly they rush at Javan.

    Javan reacts before they get to him.

    CHARACTER #Lois

    Donkey!!!!!

    Donkey!!!!!

    (Rushes at Javan)

    CHARACTER #Javan

    (Yelps)

    Bring it on!

    (Assumes a on all fours stance in the middle of the carpet)

    The characters Seth and David join Lois and Noah in

    attacking/circling Javan.

    Javan is baying like a trapped wild-beast, tossing his head

    from side-to-side.

    *A rolling Jungle drum beat starts*

    The standoff doesnt last long, Lois and Noah make the first

    move and they rush at Javan simultaneously but are knocked

    back by powerful blows/pushes.

    Now David and Seth attack, with the same results. Seth flops

    back onto the sofa and David into a pile of clean, freshly

    washed clothes, scattering them across the floor.

    Several waves are repelled by Javan; he starts to show signs

    of tiring.

    The attackers smell blood, for the first time they all rush at

    once!

    Once more, they are pushed back, but Javan falters and Noah

    remains atop his back, hanging on for dear life. Noah is

    laughing manically!

    David dives in to support his brother and Lois to help her

    friend.

    Seth is seen sneaking behind Javan, just in shot.

    With Noah on his back and David and Lois on each arm, Javan is

    fully occupied.

    My Childhood

    ~ 7 ~

    Seizing this opportunity, Seth attacks from the rear, narrowly

    dodging a scything kick from Javan and jumps on top of Noah,

    adding further weight to Javans back.

    CUT TO:

    Stella, Olga and Dawn are enjoying a nice cup of tea with some

    biscuits. In the background, loud animalistic grunts are heard

    but they ignore them. The radio is playing the Archers theme

    song.

    CUT TO:

    The loud grunts continue as Javans energy is being sapped,

    David and Lois have pinned his shoulders and arms to the

    ground. Noah and Seth keep the rest of him from moving. Javan

    is still.

    Like a tsunami after the quiet of the retreating tide, Javan

    violently erupts like a once dormant volcano! Seth, Lois,

    David and Noah go flying in all directions, arms and legs in

    the arms. Javan is roaring like an angry lion.

    CUT TO:

    Stella, smiles, points to the door and walks out of the

    kitchen.

    CUT TO:

    (POV) Javan is on floor. Stella is towering above, with a face

    like thunder.

    Just on the edge of shot, the garden door opens and Phil half

    enters then quickly retreats, gently closing the door.

    David is spread out on the floor panting.

    Noah is upside down, head buried in the pile of clean, freshly

    washed clothes.

    Lois head is peeking out from behind the curtains, her face

    is flushed red.

    Seth is hiding in the corner with a Horrible Histories

    comic/book covering his face, he is trying to stay

    inconspicuous.

    Javan sneaks a look at David, David replies with a worriedgrimace.

    (Chases after Noah)

    Javan, David, Seth, Lois and Noah are slowly walking through

    the thin forest in a staggered line formation. They pick their

    way through as if looking for something, they are searchingfor junk.

    Noah trips over; he flies forward and lands out of sight as if

    he has fallen into a (hidden) pit. The others rush over to

    help him up.

    David and Seth grab each of Noahs arms and haul him up. Javan

    and Lois kick at the ground where Noah tripped, revealing the

    corner of a buried sink.

    Noah dusts off his knees and gives the sink a kick.

    CHARACTER #Noah

    are struggling under the weight.

    (Points in the opposite direction)

    SCENE 5. EXT. LOCATION #3 DAY 1 [12:00]

    The Five walk out of the forest, over the path and into the

    opposite side of the forest.

    They walk toward a part of the forest, adjacent to some

    houses.

    CUT TO:

    Javan pushes through some bushes, they swing back into Seths

    face.

    David guffaws loudly.

    CUT TO:

    Javan proudly shows his newly found storage hide. He smiles

    broadly, arms outstretched.

    It is piled high with bits of scrap wood, metal, plastic and

    stuff that has been dumped locally.

    Seth and David drop the sink, it falls on Davids feet and he

    exclaims loudly.

    CHARACTER #Javan

    Get out of it!

    (Pulls a face and tries to swat Lois but she dodges)

    CHARACTER #David

    Whats this?

    (Pointing to a wheel sticking out of a pile of wood fencing)

    CHARACTER #Javan

    That is a fully working trolley, took me months of planning to

    smuggle it out. We can use it to transport heavy stuff.

    CHARACTER #Seth

    My Childhood

    stuff to make a go-kart van. Say Javan, do you still have that

    go-cart at your house?

    CHARACTER #Javan

    Yeah, why?

    (Looks suspiciously at Seth)

    Right children, get your books please.

    CHARACTER #Stella

    Javan, clear the table please!

    Javan begrudgingly shuffles over to the table, throwing his

    coat onto the banister as he walks past. He looks at the table

    piled high with clothes, bulging folders and other items.

    David launches himself onto the bench against the wall on the

    left hand side of the table. He starts to drum a beat with his

    hands on the table.

    Seth settles himself in a pile of cushions on the right hand

    side. He is tapping a tune on the table, with his fingers.

    Lois and Noah go underneath the table and pop out on the far

    side. They are sitting beneath the bookshelves. On the

    bookshelves are Video Game cases and board game boxes. They

    are swaying in time to Seth and Davids tapping.

    CHARACTER #Old Seaman

    Have you never heard of the famous Reuben Shark! A long time

    ago, a great white swam up the Thames, there was a young boy

    who was swimming, the shark, smelling blood, tried to eat him.

    But the boy was very clever and hit the shark on the nose! The

    shark swam away in a grumpy mood, from then on, the shark

    tried to eat any swimmer in the Thames. Many people call him

    the Reuben Shark, if you fall in the water, dont make any

    splashes or he will hear you! Javan, get back to work!!!

    CHARACTER #Javan

    (Swabs deck with dirty mop.)

    *Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirates life for me*

    It is now midnight and Javan is still swabbing the deck. He is

    slightly upset as everyone-else has gone below to their

    bunks/berths.

    He is venting his frustration by angrily using the mop to hit

    the deck with a more then necessary force.

    The mop gets stuck in a rut, in Javans over-eagerness, he

    pulls the mop stick from the still stuck mop head, causing him

    to fly over the rails.

    He splashes around in the water.

    CHARACTER #Javan

    Help! Man over-board!

    CHARACTER #Old Seaman

    Pipe down or youll have the shark down on us!!!

    CHARACTER #Reuben Shark
