"Doppelganger" Script

Here's a copy of my script that I have given to both of my actors, Jason and Jay.

“Doppelganger” Script

When Jason’s doppelganger walks past Jay who’s waiting outside Game

Jay: *confused* Jason?

Jay rings Jason, Jason answers phone.

Jason: Hello?

(BOTH ‘FACE’ EACH OTHER – JASON FACE LEFT AND JAY FACE RIGHT)

Jay: Jason, where are you going? We said to meet at Game!

Jason: What are you talking about? I’m on my way!

Jay: *very confused* Whaa? You just walked past and blanked me!

Jason: *hesitated* Jay, whoever you saw, isn’t me! I’m not far from Game, so see you soon! Bye!

Jay: *concerned* Ok, bye!

Jason ends the call and looks around suspiciously

Jason arrives at Game and meets up with Jay

(TWO SHOT)

Jay: *looks at Jason’s clothes* Um, why did you change your clothes?

Jason: Seriously, what are you talking about?

(180-DEGREE RULE – JASON FACE LEFT AND JAY FACE RIGHT)

Jay: I saw you earlier and you were wearing a black coat.

Jason: I don’t own a black coat! It can’t have been me!

Jay: I don’t know what you’re up to but you blanked me earlier!

(SHOT/REVERSE SHOT – I’LL BE THEIR POV)

Jason looks around him – seemingly paranoid

Jay: Anyway, you wanna go into Game?

Jason looks from Jay and notices on the left of Jay his doppelganger walking slowly and gives direct ‘empty’ eye contact
