The Bucket List

THE BUCKET LIST
Terminally Ill Man Intimidates Best Friend As Part Of Dark Bucket List

SCENE OPENS on a bathroom counter. We are looking at multiple pill bottles. We can hear a man coughing. A hand reaches out, grabbing one of the pill bottles.

We see the owner of the hand, Gary (Codey Steele). He looks sickly as he stares at himself in the mirror. He slams the pill bottle down on the counter before he chugs water directly from the tap. He takes a deep breath. His coughing ceases.

He leaves the bathroom.

Gary looks in a drawer which contains various sinister-looking items and mementos. He adds an item then writes on a mysterious piece of paper. At that moment, we hear the front door open. From the front door, we hear a female voice call ‘Gary?’

Gary looks back at all the sinister items in the drawer. He takes a deep breath, sliding the drawer closed.

‘I’m in here,’ Gary calls.

CUT TO TITLE

The visitor, Melissa (Vanna Bardot), Gary’s best friend, has come to visit him. He has a terminal disease and doesn’t have much time left. Gary then reveals the reason he called her over: he has a dark bucket list and fucking Melissa is one of the items on the list.

Melissa is horrified and tries to leave, but when Gary hints to her of the other, worse things he’s already done on his list, she ultimately stays and agrees to do what he wants.

Nothing’s going to stop Gary from crossing this off his bucket list…
