Finding Audrey

MY SERENE AND LOVING FAMILY – FILM TRANSCRIPT

INT. 5 ROSEWOOD CLOSE. DAY

The camera approaches the garage doors. Inside we find Dad dressed in leathers, holding a guitar connected to a massive amp. Frank is standing nearby, holding a bass, looking dismal.

DAD

(enthusiastically)

So let’s jam. Just play around, have some fun.

He plays a showy guitar riff.

DAD

You know ‘For Her, For Me’?

FRANK

What?

DAD

‘For Her, For Me’. It’s our best-known song.

He looks a little hurt.

DAD

I sent you the link? I have a solo on that track.

He plays another showy guitar riff.

FRANK

Right. Er . . . I don’t know it.

DAD

What do you know?

FRANK

I know the theme tune to LOC.

He starts to play it, but Dad shakes his head impatiently.

DAD

We want to play real music. OK, we’ll just jam over the chord structure. Keep it simple. Intro – C, E, F, G, chorus in double time – D minor, F, C for two beats, chorus repeats with a G chord for a pickup to go into the verse.

Frank stares at him in panic.

FRANK

What?

DAD

Just feel it. You’ll be fine. A one, a two, a one-two-three-four.

A cacophony of music hits the air as both start playing. Dad starts singing in a screechy voice.

DAD

(sings)

For her . . . for meeeeee . . . Comin’ round again . . .

(shouts above music)

You do backing, Frank.

(sings)

For her, for meeeee . . .

He launches into a solo. Frank stares wildly at the camera and mouths ‘Help’.
