New Script, A bunch of School Boys Having A Chat On A Camping Trip

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well. What you’re about to read is a new script I wrote a few weeks ago. It’s about these school boys who are on a camping trip and they’re just chatting the night away whilst the others are in their tents sleeping . It was quite an easy one for me to write because I have heard those kinds of conversations before, I’ve never been on a camping trip with my school but I have heard conversations between kids at school. I hope you like it.

{ First scene, Max and his friends are in a tent and they’re having a chat}

Max} Woo, it’s spooky spooky. I’m loving this, Carter. I might look terrified but I’m loving it . Oh god, I feel like I’m about to fall over .

John} Why is it dark ?. Is it just me or is it dark ?.

Carter} Well, it’s camping, what do you expect ?. You wanna camp in South America ?.

John} Haha, yes, haha. You know what ?, this is my first ever camping trip, it’s my first time camping. I have to admit before I came, I was so scared and so nervous .

Jim} Yeah, you should be. We’re in the middle of nowhere, in a small tent. If we get ambushed by a tiger or any other wild animal, we’re dead .

Carter} No no, alright ?, no. I wanna get good sleep tonight. I don’t wanna spend the whole night, worrying about my safety .

John} If our tent did get ambushed by a lion or a bear, what would you do ?.

Carter} I would run .

John} Hah, lame. Of course you wouldn’t run, you would fight it, wouldn’t you ?.

Carter} Hell no. What, I don’t wanna get thrashed by a wilder beast . Are you mad ?. Would you really wanna get attacked by a wilder beast ?.

John} Yes I would, actually. That would be the most interesting thing that’s ever happened in my life.

Carter} That’s not true. What about the football match you were a part of, last week. That was interesting .

John} Yeah but that was quick. After that was done and out of the way, I had nothing to show case. I had nothing to look forward to. At least I could do this cause then I’d be giving in. I could go home happy for once .

Jim} Well no, you wouldn’t really go home, would you ?. You just got killed by a bear, how on earth would you go home in one piece ?. You wouldn’t have legs, you wouldn’t even be alive. You would stop moving, you wouldn’t even be in the right state to pick yourself up from the floor. You would be two pieces of toast .

John} Well no, cos, I can make friends with the bear .

Carter} Anything to keep you from going home .

John} Yep, that’s my life. I would rather live in a forest than live in my real home.

Max} Wow, that got deep fast .

Carter} Yep, that’s what happens when you bring John on a camping trip with you. He’s like a white sick Oprah. You would hate you right now .

John laughs}

John} It is what it is .

Max} Yeah. This is nice though .

Jim} Yeah. I’m still really creeped out by that tent though. All the girls have a nice tent, the teachers gave us like the worst tent .

John} Yeah well, I hope they sleep in a tent made out of leaves .

Max} How would you sleep in a tent made out of leaves ?. Is that even possible ?. You’d die from hyperthermia.

John} Honestly, I have no clue ,

Max} Looks like the teachers are having a good long chat. What do you think they’re talking about ?.

Jim} I really don’t know, man .

Carter} I know what they’re talking about. They’re talking about how they’re gone camping before, then that’s followed by a conversation about meeting up for a drink. Honestly, I give up sometimes . You’d be surprised how I manage to keep sane through it all. They bore us to death hundreds of times a day, lecturing us on algebra and chemistry. I don’t know what the point is, what’s the point ?.

John} Oh yeah no, they’re like ” Algebra, chemistry, all the lessons you’ll need for your future ”. Like yeah, when I open up my own bank account at the age of 15, and when I’m running for prime minister, I’ll see if those lessons become useful .

Max} What, you, prime minister ?. Haha, are you being serious ?, John. You don’t know a flat from a house . How are you gonna run the country ?.

John} Yeah of course, I’ll be a great one. I’ll keep everyone in check, I’ll show them how it’s really done .

Jim} Yeah of course you will. You won’t even know what to do with a stick. If someone gave you a stick, you’d wave it in the air. Like, what’s that, exactly ?, I have no idea .

John} But what’s that got to do with being a prime minister ?. Waving a stick ?, do you mean a conductor ?. Like in an orchestra ?.

Jim} No, I mean prime minister .

Carter} Well, I don’t know what prime minister you’re thinking of. Must be on the ends of the earth, under a bridge .

Jim} Prime ministers, you see ?. They can’t prove a point without waving a stick in the air . But sometimes it’s considered as assault, that’s why most of them resign. Total lack of leadership . All because of a stick .

John} Oh shut up, Jimmy .

Jim} I’m not Jimmy. Who the hell is Jimmy ?.

Max} Your dad .

Jim} Oh get out. You talk about my dad one more time, I’ll kill you .

{ Silence}

Carter} Oh come on, Jim. You won’t really kill Max, will you ?.

Jim} I might do. If the bear doesn’t eat you up, then I’m gonna have to .

Max} No, the bear’s gonna eat your arse .

John} Okay okay, everybody. Let’s all settle down. From now on, we need to shut up. If the teachers find out what we’ve been up to in the last three hours, they will kill us . I mean, what have we been talking about for the last three hours ?. Talking about prime ministers waving sticks, we’re driving ourselves mad and we’re in the middle of nowhere, this tent smells like wee, we have no food because we didn’t bring any, surprise surprise . So I don’t know, I think I might eat some bark. Hm, it’s crunchy, hm, it’s really nice. God help us, god help me, help you .

Carter} Hey John, calm down and have some beaver .

John} No I’m alright .

Carter} Have some, have some .

John} No I don’t want bloody beaver !!!! .

Max} Wait a minute, where did you find beaver ?.

Carter} I skinned a beaver earlier this morning. It’s really nice though .

Max} Oh my god, Carter, you can’t do that .

Carter} What, I’m hungry . Anyway, what are we supposed to do, starve ?. You need to eat .

Jim} Hm. Look at John, he’s eating beaver. How adorable .

Max} No it’s not adorable. He’s eating it like it’s a beef burger. God help him .

John} No, god help you, you’re intimidating .

Carter} Guys. You ever realize how beautiful the stars are tonight ?. They’re quite far away but you can still see them if you look carefully enough .

John} I can’t see anything. What stars ?, I can only see darkness .

Carter} Johnny, you need to get an imagination .

John} Do I though ?. I think I’m better off without it. I’ve seen some really crazy stuff. The last thing I need is an imagination. It’s terrifying. It’s even worse when it’s in the dark .

Carter} It’s really cool though. It kind of reminds me of my birth .

John} Hey Carter, do you remember the time when you were born ?.

Carter} No, I don’t remember my birth, but I do remember my death .

Max} What are you on about ?. You’re not dead .

Carter} Yes I am .

Max} No you’re not. Right well, tell me then. If you’re dead then who am I talking to ?.

Carter} Wooo, I’m a spooky ghost. Say hello to the ghost, ooo, I love you, Maxxy . { Tries to wind him up}

Max} Shut up !!!.

Jim} Oh he’s no ghost. He’s more like a zombie, he’s a dead man walking .

Max} Oh, I can’t deal with this crap. I’m going to bed, I’m tired .

Carter} What, already ?. That was quick. I thought you’d stay up a bit longer. Look around, the night’s still young. Tonight, we live like kings .

John} Yeah, the night’s still young and I feel great, { Starts singing} ” I’m feeling good ”. ” Argh, I should probably go to bed though, I feel like crap .

Max} You look like crap .

John} Thank you, Max. You don’t look too bad yourself .

Carter} That’s really the whole point though. You’re supposed to feel like crap whenever you go camping .

Jim} Right well, if that’s the case, then I don’t know what camping trip I’m on . It’s like Chameleon channeling with Bear Grylls . You just hide behind a rock the entire time . This is what it feels like .

Max} Right, I’m going to bed, goodnight boys. See you in the morning .

Jim} Or not .

John} Oh come on, Jim, stop it with this bear ambush rubbish. We’re not gonna get attacked by a bear .

Jim} Oh he’s coming, he’s coming. It’s Vishka the dancing bear. He’s gonna eat you alive. Chomp chomp . He’s gonna be a big mac. John Big mac .

John} Shut up !!!! .

{ A few minutes later, they’re fast asleep in their tent}

{ Carter can hear rustling coming from inside the tent. At first, he thinks it’s Jim winding him up but then, he wakes up and sees a bear}

Carter} Ahhhhhhh, oh hello no, man, what the hell is that ?.

Max} What’s what, Carter ?. There’s nothing there, man .

Carter} Nah man, I’ve just seen something really scary outside the tent. { He sits on the floor and is really paranoid} ” Oh my god, nope nope, forget that, get that zip, I’m off ”. { He gets up and just runs out of the tent} { Everyone’s just wondering what on earth is going on}

John} What the hell is going on ?.

Carter} Nope nope, you’re not fooling me today, bloody man child. { He gets out of the tent and he runs}

Max} Where’s he off to ?.

Jim} He’s running in the bloomin forest, that idiot . What’s he doing ?.

John} This is his first time camping .

Carter} Ahhhh, what the hell is that ?. It’s got more than two legs .

Max} Where’s he gone ?.

{Jim starts laughing}
