Agent Coulson – No Pulp - Shaun Richens


PAGE ONE – 7 PANELS.

1.1
Int an average all American roadside diner. NICK FURY sits in a booth nursing a big cup of coffee. The window behind him shows that this is in the middle of nowhere. Just open land all around and a single road running through it.

COULSON (OP):
Good to see you Nick.

1.2
Reveal shot of AGENT COULSON. We are angled looking up at him giving him that larger than life look. He wears his classic suit and shades.

COULSON:
Mind if I sit down.

1.3
Cut back to Fury. He leans his head towards the empty seat on the other side of the booth and holds out his hand palm up pointing at the seat, offering it up.

NICK FURY:
Pull up a pew.

1.4
Wide panel. Repeat framing of 1.1 but now Coulson sits opposite Fury. A homely middle-aged waitress stands near the table, her notepad in hand ready to take an order.

WAITRESS:
What can I get for you fellas?

COLUSON:
I’ll take an OJ. No pulp if you have it miss, and a full stack of pancakes.

COULSON:
Oh and a refill for my friend here if you’d be so kind. He’s runs on caffeine.

WAITRESS:
Sure thing sweetheart.

1.5
Repeat of 1.4 however the waitress has left to get their order.

NICK FURY:
Looking good for a dead man. I heard you were kia?

COULSON:
Funny I heard the same rumor about you once.

1.6
Cut to a close up on Nick Fury. He has that rare but beautiful thing on his face. A Nick Fury smile. Only a man like Coulson could make old Fury crack a grin.

NICK FURY:
Ha. It’s tough to keep guys in our line off work down for long.

NICK FURY:
But enough of my flirting, why are we in the middle of nowhere having breakfast?

1.7
Cut to close up on Coulson.

COULSON:
We need to talk Nick.

COULSON:
Have you heard about the new director of shield?

  1. The dialogue is right at home with the Marvelwhedonverse. Well paced and right-on characterization.

    1. Ray's right; I can totally hear Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg in this.
