Shooting Script Revisited

After some thought, we have decided to revisit our voice mail script to make it sound more believable and more like what someone would say. Here is the new script;

DOCTORS RECEPTIONIST: 

Hello Mr. Simmons, I'm calling from Oakhouse Surgery to remind you to collect your prescription, your doctor is concerned that you haven't taken your medication and we must insist that you do, the consequences can be serious. Please contact us back if you are unable to collect them by this Thursday. Thank you.

DAUGHTER:

Hey Dad! It's me. Mum said you were picking me up tomorrow from swimming. It finishes at 5, I was thinking we could do something after? And hey, please don't forget this time. See you.

BOSS: 

Russell, Craig here. I really didn’t want to make this phone call, but you haven't turned up to work nor answered my calls. I’m sorry but, don't bother coming in next week. I know you’ve been struggling and I’ve done all I can to support you but you've really forced my hand here. Call me back as soon as you get this and we’ll talk about the redundancy… and what needs to be done next. Best wishes.

DAUGHTER:

Where are you? Its me - Sophie!? I’ve been standing by the school gates for like an hour and it’s raining - I’m soaked! Have you forgotten again? You always do this! Mum’s on her way now, just forget it.

EX WIFE: 

Russell, it's me. I've had to cancel my meeting to pick Sophie up from swimming. You've let her down yet again, she isn't coming round this weekend, by the way... You owe her an apology. Oh, and another thing, Dave said he saw you at our house again last week, you can't start doing this, it's my house. I don't want to get the police involved but I will if I have to. *PAUSE* I'll pick her up from now on.

GIRLFRIEND: 

Where the heck are you? Why aren't you returning my calls? Have I done something wrong? I didn't mean what I said about moving in together, I think we should take it slowly, it's too soon.. please call me back, I'm worried.

Where are you? This is like the sixteenth time calling in a week and you haven't bothered to pick up once. Was it me? Look, I didn’t mean what I said about moving in together, it was a joke! It’s obviously too soon… but please, call me back, I’m worried.

NEIGHBOUR:

Hey Russell, I haven't seen you around in a while.. you okay buddy? I heard you got fired and all.. I'm sorry about that. Oh and, your mail box is full.. Hope we can speak face to face soon, just give me a call back, okay? Thanks.
