A Simple bit of Script writing.

One Last Page- Act 1- Scene 1

Narration begins on a black screen.

Liam: What makes us who we are? It is a question that has a thousand different answers depending on the doctors you are talking to.

Camera fades in to show clippings and pictures of Liam growing up.

Liam: Are we born with the chemical imprint of our personality already decided for us? Does it come from our family, our education or the games that only children play.

Pictures transition to show Liam as a grown up in education, and with his wife.

Liam: Or do we become who we are from the friends we have, the mistakes we make and those who hold our heart? Are we defined by our career, by the money we have or what we give back to the world?

News clippings begin of Liam’s career.

Liam: Are we made by that which knocks us back.

Press clipping of his fathers death.

Liam: The little difficulties that shape our path? Or are we left to fate alone, our paths decided by a higher power.

Clippings change to show a car accident and news clippings describing Liam’s accident.

Liam: Are all these things what make us who we are? If that is the case, does removing one of those things change us completely?

Clippings become of his recovery and worries about his last book.

Liam: What happens when memories of our childhood fade to nothing and whole pieces of our past are stolen from us? What happens when pills can steal away what we truly care about? Or the mistakes of others cost us our careers? Are we ever one person or are we just fluid strands of consciousness, buffeted around by the constant winds of a life left completely to chance? Better men than me may have these answers, those who have studied for years to understand the fundamentals of our humanity. I am not one of these men so I will do what I can… Let me tell you a story.

Camera fades out.
