Curse(first draft)

1   INT.  HOME

Fade in:

We can see a man is doing something strange. The light is very dark. He is writing some Taoist magic figures, to burn incense, praying on his lips...

2   INT.  HOTEL

A big bed in the middle of hotel’s room. The man is sitting at the foot of the bed and smoking. We can see a woman(call her S below) behind him, lay on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, looks very sluggish.

3   EXT.  STREET(OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL)

The man and S walk out of the hotel. We can see them from far away. Man’s hand put on S’s posterior, looks very intimate. He is saying something to S, but we can’t hear that. Then the man pats S lightly, they separate.

4   INT.   DRAWING ROOM

Man’s girl friend (call her N below) is sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Actually, she is absentminded.

At this time, man is back. He walks to the fridge and takes a bottle of beer. Then he sits beside N, drinks the beer and watches TV.

N (still watch on TV, looks deadpan): Where are you going this morning?

Man: GYM.

N: GYM? I guess you have some exercises on somebody’s bed, am I right? Why don’t you fuck her in my house? Fuck you! You bastard! How dare you lie to me? (when N curse the man, he just drinks the beer, didn’t say anything)

When the man finishes his drink, he stands up and leaves the drawing room.

Man: Don’t forget to cook later.

N (suddenly stand up): Go to eat your ass!

5   INT.   DRAWING ROOM

The man holds a bloodied knife, and put it into a bowl of water. Strange thing is the knife stand in the water. We can see a taoist magic figure beside the bowl.

Then, the man lights 4 candles in front of the bowl. After that, he burns incense and says something we can understand. Suddenly, he stops praying and open his eyes. 4 candles extinguish at the same time.

The man put some ash into the bowl, and then he holds the knife and takes it out of the bowl. We can see a spookiest smile on his face.

6   INT.   DRAWING ROOM

N is cooking in the kitchen. She hears the man is back.

The man walks into the room, looks very strange.

N even doesn’t look up, start cursing: Come back so late again! Fuck! You’re a pig that just knows how to eat and fuck bitches! Why are you coming back? Why don’t you live in that bitch’s home?

N curses a lot while she is cooking. She doesn’t notices the man already stand behind her. Unexpectedly, the man stabbed a knife in her back. We can see the knife penetrate her body, shed blood like water. N stops talking this time, she looks very suffering, but she can’t sound any voices.The man is deadpan this time.

Fade out

N has been put beside the sofa.

Man is still doing his ritual. He drinks the water in the bowl, and spews all the water to the taoist magic figure. Then, he walks to N’s body, and put the taoist magic figure on her wound. He starts to pray for something, the taoist magic figure slowly disappearing.

Man: Don’t forget to cook later.

Suddenly, N’s body became squirm. She stands up slowly. We can’t see any emotion on her face. She just walks to the kitchen, doesn’t say anything.
