Opening Monologue
from iPirates!
by Janet S. Tiger (c) all rights reserved 2014 [email protected]
Act 1-
iPirates! - (think - Hackers of the Caribbean)
Monologue for opening
Voice-over - VINCENT
What little boy doesn't want to be a pirate? I mean, there is no downside to pirates! They are brave and strong and no one bullies them around......
EXT. Great battle on the open seas
We see a scene with pirates fighting their way from their ship onto another ...the handsome Captain leading the way by - of course -swinging in on a rope.
V-O- VINCENT
And girls like them......
EXT. Ship
We see the Captain kissing a beautiful captive on the attacked ship.
V-O - VINCENT
And they have lots of fun......
EXT. Pirates on ship carousing, in town, carousing
We see the pirates drinking and looting and having pirate fun.
V-O -VINCENT
And they never get nagged by their mothers.....
INT. HOUSE
Now we see a little boy in a pirate outfit playing with friends as his mother comes in and complains about the mess
V-O -VINCENT (resigned, sighing)
I guess some things never change.....
INT. BEDROOM
We now see VINCENT RYAN, a nice-looking geeky young man - think Shia LaBaoef - sitting by a computer in his room, surrounded by mess, and a mother yelling at him that it's time for work.
He grabs things in a rush, puts on shoes that are falling apart and runs out.
INT. OFFICE
Now we see him standing in front of a crowd, hair still a little awry, While he is speaking, we see images of him at work in his room, interspersed with pirate scenes.
VINCENT
(Still geeky, but now impassioned)
Why did I become a pirate chaser? Because nowadays, that's the closest thing you can get to hunting down criminals....without actually getting hurt.
But it's also because these modern day thieves - I like to think of it as Cyber-Sea Piracy.....these thieves are not only stealing money....lots and lots of money!......
when they steal all these things - the money and identities and actual merchandise.....they are stealing something that can never be found or given back - time!
How much time does anyone have? No one knows! Who wants to spend days, weeks, months - in some cases years!- fixing what these modern-day pirates have stolen? No, I am one of the few people who figures out where they are hiding - whether it's Russia or South America or here in the good old USA - and when I find them, I shut them down.
And make sure the police get them and they are prosecuted and everyone is a tiny bit safer when you use your computer or cell phone!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need the funding for Google Track Down - an international cooperative of the world's best pirate chasers - so we can truly make cyber space a safe place for everyone!
Thank you!
(He sits down to applause)
