Interview by a Don

INTERVIEW BY A DON (A Scene with dialogues – Submitted by Wardan M. Tiple) Inside a dimly lit hall with a yellow-tungsten light kept at the corner table, a middle aged man is smoking a cigar sitting behind a big finished wooden desk against white curtained window. His silhouette is visible from the long doorway, creating a whimsical visual in the smoke of cigar. He is Mr. D. Wood (age 55-60), a yesteryear gangster and now head of the Dfamily. He has a big scar on his face on his left cheek running from the temple to the lower jaw, the wound has already recovered long back but left behind disgusting filled up skin line. It appears that someone carefully gave him this well carved scar. The door at the end of that long hall opens and a young woman steps in along with a gunned man. The gunned man bows to Mr. D. Wood and quickly goes out of the door closing it behind her. The girl is now alone. She is tall, may be 5'7"-5'8", in a three-piece black suit. She has a slender, athlete body. Her hair is chopped in style, like a character in an anime. Her eyes are dark and sharp. Her name is Ishita (age 28-32). She is an assassin, trained in martial arts and in oneto-one combat. But she is also famous for her sharp sniper shots. She looks at the figure sitting against the window. Her eye narrows. Mr. D. Wood leans forward, his deep but grave voice echoes in the hall. D. Wood: Welcome Miss Ishita. Your reputation preceded you. Come on. Ishita: Thank you, Mr. Wood. She starts walking towards him. As she walks she looks around, there are some portraits hung on the wall. She identifies some and reads the names on the portraits. Ishita (V.O.): Oh, Harlen Maguire, the ladykiller. Tom Stall, the brutal mobster. Sergeant Dignam, the convicted sergeant. (She pauses) And who is this little fellow? Oh, Li'l Dice, master murderer. Jimmy Conway, the New York gangster. Ah, Tony Montana, the Cuban scarface. Anton Chigurh, coldfaced killer. Jules Winnfield, the free-sermon crook. And finally, Michael and Vito Corleone, the Godfathers. He has good taste. 1
