"Don't Look Back"
Don't Look Back is scheduled to be filming from August 21,2008-Graduation 2009. It is a documentary about the Seniors in Boonsboro.

Scene 13
Scene 13
(We find Arthur back at his house, he grabs a knife from the kitchen. He walks outside and sees Kurt, Tim, and Stanley)
Arthur:Why are you guys still here?
Stanley:You helped us bail out so we can help you
Tim:Yeah sounds like them boys down at the lumber yard gave you a bad deal
Kurt:We want to prove you innocent Art
Arthur:Gee thanks guys
Stanley:Come on we only got limited time before the cops get here lets hurry!
(They head off around the back of the house. Meanwhile we find Roach at the Lumber Yard smoking. Ernie walks up to him)
Ernie:Kind of nervous
Roach:Why's that, Ern?
Ernie:I don't know no one buys that Art did the crime
Roach:Look Ernie he's in jail, he can't do anything about it. Janet can tell all she wants about that night but the cops ain't going to believe her and even if they do, we're in Michigan across the lake is Canada. They can't get us there, eh?
Ernie:I guess your right
(Suddenly Bobby Blue pulls up in the car)
Bobby Blue:Boss listen to this
(He turns up the radio)
Radio Announcer:As many of you may have heard already be on the look out for 4 teens who escaped from Prison tonight. They're beating identified as Stanley Stirrup, Tim Thomas, Kurt Kolebain, and Arthur Bartley. They're all under 20, unarmed, and may be wearing orange jumpsuits.
Roach:Eh, don't sweat it he don't have the stuff to come here and beat us.
Ernie:Well I guess we're ok hey I'm headin to my old man's place, you guys want some smokes?
Roach:Sure get 5 packs I'm runnin low
(Ernie gets on his bike and rides down the road. He rides his bike a few blocks down the road before wrecking it. He falls into the bushes. He gets up and out of nowhere Arthur pushes him against a cage wall with a knife to his throat)
Ernie(breathing heavily):Oh hey Art, whats up chum?
Arthur:Where is he?
Ernie(scared):Who Art? Who?
Arthur(pushing the knife closer to throat):You know who
Ernie(scared):Look Art, I swear buddy I didn't tell the cops
Arthur:Don't lie to me, Ernie
Ernie(beginning to cry):Look, I'm sorry Art, I'm sorry
(Arthur throws him to the ground)
Arthur:Sorry ain't cutting it, Ernie. Why did you do it?
Ernie(full on crying):Do what Art?
Arthur:You kicked me in the head last night. Friends don't do that to each other especially friends of 15 years. Does 15 years mean anything to you, Ern?
Ernie(beginning to stop):It does Art, it does!
Arthur:Then take us to Roach, now!
Ernie(still crying a tad):Look I promised Roach I wouldn't tell
Arthur:You promised a lot, Ern, you said you'd never betray me, now here we are, I running from the law and your the snitch that told.
Ernie(crying):Fine I'll show you, Art I'll show you
Arthur:Good
(Ernie goes to get on his bike but Arthur takes it away)
Arthur:I bike you walk
(Ernie walks ahead while Arthur, Stanley, Kurt, and Tim follow along on bikes. Meanwhile at Arthur's house, Janet and his family arrives)
Major:Jeez what happened here?
Lillian:I think he was here
Jessie:I found a note on the table(she reads it):Dear Mom and Dad, I've headed off to find Roach I want to proove my innocence but it won't be easy
Major:Well where can we find Roach
Janet:We can try the Lumber Yard down by the lake, we got to hurry before something happens.
(They get in a car, across town we find that Arthur, Ernie, Tim, Kurt, and Stanley have arrived)
Ernie:There, he we are
Arthur:Good now you get out of here before you get hurt too, Ernie
Ernie:Fine, Art, but your gonna regret this
(Ernie rides off in his bike)
Arthur(yelling):Roach! I'm here for your business
(Roach appears on top of a pile of lumber)
Roach:I was expectin you, Art. I see you've brought yourself a little army of connies. Get em boys!
(Bobby Blue appears)
Arthur:Wait you said boys
Kurt:Yeah what gives?
Roach:Well he can account for 2 or 3 people
Bobby Blue:Hey I take offense to that
Roach:Shut up fat boy
Bobby Blue:Hey, you know what? I'm tired of being your fat and I'm tired of you making fun of me, I have feelings too
Roach:Who pays for your meals?
Bobby Blue:You
Roach:Who fixed ya car?
Bobby Blue:You
Roach:Who did your sister?
Bobby Blue:You
Roach:My point exactly now get em!
(Arthur, Tim, Kurt, and Stanley charge for him only to get knocked over. They all circle around him and jump only to be pushed off again)
Tim:He ain't goin down
(They huddle. All 4 charge at once and keep changing direction. Eventually they run in a circle around him. Bobby Blue gets confused and dizzy. Eventually they stop and knock him over from behind onto the ground. Bobby Blue gets up and gets his knee chopped down from behind by Tim. They all dive on him at once. Kurt pulls a rope out of his pocket and ties Bobby Blue's leg to a 2X4 board underneath several other boards)
Arthur:Lets split up, Stanley you go with me. Tim and Kurt you go a different direction we're going. Lets find Thunder and Lightning. They both got dark hair and wear leather jackets and dark jeans
(Arthur and Stanley go around the outside to look while Kurt and Tim head to the inside to find them. As Kurt and Tim run, they are whacked in the head by 2 2x6's. Thunder and Lightning appear out of nowhere)
Tom Thunder:2 down, 2 to go
(Thunder and Lightning go back into the side. Meanwhile Arthur and Stanley look and walk around the corner heading towards them)
Johnny Lightning:Here they come
(Arthur and Stanley run full speed in the area looking up, down, left, and right to find them. As they head toward where Thunder and Lightning are, they are tripped by their 2x6's and fall to the ground hard. Thunder and Lightning appear from out of the shadows. Thunder grabs Art and pushes him into the lumber pile and slaps him around while Lightning slaps Stanley around.)
Tom Thunder:Johnny, get your guitar ready time to play some sweet 6 string bash
(Lightning picks up a guitar from where they were hiding and holds it up while Thunder holds Arthur. As Lightning approaches him, Arthur head butts him with the back of his head, slips out and Lightning accidently nails Thunder with the guitar. Lightning looks on stunned as Arthur strikes him in the face, shoves him into the lumber pile, punches him in the stomach, and throws him into Thunder knocking them both over and into the lumber pile which collapses. Before it can fall, Arthur pulls Stanley away and the pile collapses onto Thunder and Lightning(don't ask how this is possible I just need a way to write them off).)
Arthur:You alright Stan?
Stanley:I think so
(Kurt and Tim get up)
Kurt:What happened
Arthur:We took out Thunder and Lightning now Roach is the only one left. I can take him, you all get out of here. Theres a boatyard a few miles away. Heres some money for the boat take it and head to Canada
Stanley:Thanks Art, it's been nice knowing you
Arthur:Thank you guys, good luck on your band and for this
Stanley:Get em Art, get em
(Stanley, Kurt, and Tim run off. Arthur goes looking around for him. Just as Arthur rounds the corner his family and Janet arrive they spot him getting out and Janet goes after him)
Jessie:Janet, come back!
Janet:You go get the police, tell them we found the real robbers and get them over here immediately
Jessie:What about you?
Janet:I'll be fine
(Jessie, Lillian, and Major drive off to get the police. Meanwhile Arthur goes around the corner and finds Roach attempting to escape on a boat)
Arthur:So it comes down to this?
Roach:How in the hell did you get through the gang?
Arthur:Well it started when you ran away you see Bobby Blue gets dizzy from watching people run so we knocked him over and tied him to the lumber pile. Thunder and Lightning was a shock to me because I didn't expect them to fight so poorly.
Roach:I guess I should've just left
Arthur:You should've. Now lets settle this mono e mono
(Suddenly Janet appears from around the corner)
Janet:Arthur!
Arthur:Janet!
(Ernie sneaks from behind)
Arthur:Watch out!
(Ernie puts his hand on Janet's mouth and pulls out a gun)
Ernie:Make one more mouth Art and Janet gets it
Arthur:Come on Ernie you can't do this to her
Ernie:I do what I damn well please I ain't lettin some dork tell me what to do no longer
Arthur:Ernie, I've been your best friend for 15 years Janet's been your friend for 10, can you at least show some sympathy
Ernie:I ain't got no sympathy, Art. All I got is my smokes, my gun, and the money
Roach:Thats my buddy now lets put a cap in these losers and head to Canada
(Ernie draws his gun towards Roach)
Ernie:I'm afraid it won't be happenin, Todd
Roach:You lyin back stabbin son of a...
Ernie(getting angry):I'm warning you Todd you make a move to and it'll be a trip of 3 straight to hell
Arthur:Just put the gun down, Ernie
Ernie(aiming to Arthur):Shut up, I don't have to hear your crap you whiny little freak
(Just as Ernie is yelling at Arthur, Roach makes a run for it but is shot in the back by Ernie. Janet screams)
Ernie:Now just get the money from Roach, Art and things will be fine. I'll take the boat and you'll never see me again
Arthur:Alright fine
(Arthur walks over to the money bag and takes it from Roach's body. He walks slowly toward Ernie)
Arthur:You want it? Hear it is
(He throws up in the air. Ernie looks up to catch it and at that moment Janet bites his arm and he drops the gun. Arthur runs to get it and they fight on the ground for it and accidently knock it into the boat. Ernie has Arthur pinned to the ground when Janet gets on his back and claws at his eyes. Ernie gets up and throws Janet down. Upon seeing the fallen Janet, Arthur runs up and tackles Ernie to the ground delivering fist after fist to the face of Ernie. Ernie turns Arthur over and they brawl on the ground. Police sirens are heard in the air. Meanwhile Ernie and Arthur continue the fight. The police arrive and tackle Arthur.)
Janet:Wait you got the wrong guy
(While Arthur is being taken down, Ernie grabs for the gun and turns to fire at Arthur but Janet jumps on his back again covering his face he drops the gun into the water and drops Janet onto the ground. Arthur breaks free of the police and tackles Ernie again. Arthur starts pounding on Ernie again busting his face open. The police get him off of Ernie and arrests the both of them.)
Ernie:Officers, he's the man who robbed the store last night and the man who shot the cat over there
Arthur:Officers, I swear on my life it was he who committed the crime
Officer:Well tell us young lady who was it?
Janet:It was Ernie. he was the one who did it
Ernie:Darnit I knew 2 on 1 was a bad spot
(Ernie is arrested and taken to a police car there Arthur talks to him)
Arthur:Ern, look I'm sorry but you betrayed me
Ernie:Stuff your sorries in your sack because when I get out of this joint, it'll be your blood
(The police car is driven away by an officer. The Sheriff walks up to Arthur)
Arthur:Let me ask you, sir, what drives someone so good to so much evil
Sheriff:Some say its the parents, they're not good to the kid and the kid finds themselves with no guidance or direction. Without that society itself would collapse. Thats why you people(talking to audience)should take a stand for the events you just witnessed here are things that can happen to anybody or anything anywhere. It can happen to your friends, your son, your daughter, your niece, your nephew, your brother, your sister and can even happen...to you. So take a stance America fight this evilness known as Juvenile Deliquency. Its a cancer, a disturbing cancer sweeping the nation corrupting the lives of our children. To prevent what you've just witnessed happen get your sons or daughters in a good Catholic based school or put them on sports. Volleyball, Baseball, Football, and/or Basketball coaches can be guidance for them towards a better life and when they turn 18 send your young boys to the Army and the young girls to a perfectly fine suitor for the decisions you make affect the future of our great American society.
Arthur:I was just asking a question
Sheriff:And I was just answering it....any idea where the other boys are at?
Arthur:2 are buried under lumber and the other is tied to a pile]
Sheriff:What about The Staples?
Arthur:Couldn't tell you
Sheriff:Why not?
Arthur:I don't betray friends
Sheriff:What about Ernie?
Arthur:He betrayed me first
Sheriff:Well played Bartley, well played
(The Sheriff leaves and Janet walks back over)
Janet:Tough week, eh?
Arthur:We're not in Canada
Janet:We're still in Michigan
Arthur:No one in Michigan says "Eh?"
Janet:Eh?
Arthur:Nevermind
Janet:Arthur.... I want to tell you something...private
(They walk over away from everybody else and in front of a building)
Janet:Arthur, about last night
Arthur:Look I know what happened but...
Janet:I do too and this morning I found out...I'm pregnaut!
Arthur:Oh jeez you actually had me going for a second
Janet:Its still April Fools, Arthur
Arthur:It is? Jeez what a slow week
Janet:What were you expecting?
Arthur:Well I certainly expecting the Spanish Inquisition
(Loud music blurs as the Spanish Inquisition pops out from the building)
Cardinal Ximenex:Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
(Out of nowhere the building pops completely open as MEL BROOKS dressed as Torquemada and other back-ups singers appear)
Torquemada and (Back-up Singers):The Inquisition (Let's begin)The Inquisition (Look out sin)We have a mission to convert the Jews (Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew)We're gonna teach them wrong from right.We're gonna help them see the lightand make an offer that they can't refuse. (That those Jews just can't refuse)Confess, don't be boringSay yes, don't be dull.A fact you're ignoring:It's better to lose your skull cap than your skull (or your govalt!)The Inquisition (what a show)The Inquistion (here we go)We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
Ernie:I was sitting in a temple. I was minding my own business.I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass.Then these Papus persons plungered and they throw me in a dungeon and they shove a red hot poker up my ass.Is that considerate? Is that polite?And not a tube of Preperation H in sight!
Roach:I'm sittin' flickin' chickens and I'm lookin' throught the pickins' and suddenly thes goyim pull down valls.I didn't even know them and they grabbed my by the stoghum and started playing ping pong with my balls!Ooh, the agony! Ooh, the shame!To make my privates public for a game?
(Torquemada and back-up singers re-appear)
Torquemada and (back-up singers)The Inquisition (what a show)The Inquisition (here we go)We know you're wishin' that we'd go away. But the Inquisition's here and it's here to-(Stanley and the Staples appear interrupting Torquemada)
Stanley and the Staples:Hey Toquemada, what do you say.
Torquemada:I just got back from the Auto-de-fe.
Stanley and the Staples:Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?
Torquemada:It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway.Skit skat do ba de day(To Arthur and Janet)Will you convert?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you confess?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you revert?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you say yes?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please."I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees!
(He hits the cast in the knees like keyboards in a row)
The Back-up Singers:Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try you're luck.Sheriff:Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!
Torquemada:Alright(He proceeds to play the slots using members of the cast and gets the same 3 numbers and money pours out)
(Torquemada walks over to Roach, Ernie, Bobby Blue, Thunder and Lightning)
Torquemada:How we doin', any converts today?
Roach, Ernie, Bobby Blue, Thunder and Lightning:Not a one, nay, nay, nay.
Torquemada:We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns!Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!
(Suddenly several diving boards are erected by the lake as Norma, Jessie, and Lillian get on diving boards dressed as nuns and dive into the water swimming with the cast. Soon they rise on a giant "J" and Torquemada re-appears. They all get in a line in front of the lake and sing)
The Entire Cast:The Inquisition, what a show.The Inquisition, here we go.We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!So all you Muslims and you JewsWe got big news for all of yous:You'd better change your point of views TODAY!'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
(Everything turns black but light returns with a courtroom scene)
Judge:Mr.Basford you are being charged with the crime of plaigerism. How do you plea?
Joey Basford:Extremely Guilty
Judge:Well Mr.Basford, you have two options go to prison...
Joey Basford:Well Judge I'd do anything for love...but I won't do that
Judge:...or pay back the people you plagerized from despite getting permission to plagerize
Joey Basford:I'll take Jail
(We go to a shot of a poster saying, "Joey Basford Presents...The 50's Reborn!" The poster rises revealing Joey on a mic, Matt Johnson on Guitar, and Jacob Reese on Drums. They proceed to perform Jailhouse Rock as the cast comes out and takes a bow.)
The End
(We find Arthur back at his house, he grabs a knife from the kitchen. He walks outside and sees Kurt, Tim, and Stanley)

Janet:Its still April Fools, Arthur
Arthur:It is? Jeez what a slow week
Janet:What were you expecting?
Arthur:Well I certainly expecting the Spanish Inquisition
(Loud music blurs as the Spanish Inquisition pops out from the building)
Cardinal Ximenex:Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
(Out of nowhere the building pops completely open as MEL BROOKS dressed as Torquemada and other back-ups singers appear)
Torquemada and (Back-up Singers):The Inquisition (Let's begin)The Inquisition (Look out sin)We have a mission to convert the Jews (Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew)We're gonna teach them wrong from right.We're gonna help them see the lightand make an offer that they can't refuse. (That those Jews just can't refuse)Confess, don't be boringSay yes, don't be dull.A fact you're ignoring:It's better to lose your skull cap than your skull (or your govalt!)The Inquisition (what a show)The Inquistion (here we go)We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
Ernie:I was sitting in a temple. I was minding my own business.I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass.Then these Papus persons plungered and they throw me in a dungeon and they shove a red hot poker up my ass.Is that considerate? Is that polite?And not a tube of Preperation H in sight!
Roach:I'm sittin' flickin' chickens and I'm lookin' throught the pickins' and suddenly thes goyim pull down valls.I didn't even know them and they grabbed my by the stoghum and started playing ping pong with my balls!Ooh, the agony! Ooh, the shame!To make my privates public for a game?
(Torquemada and back-up singers re-appear)
Torquemada and (back-up singers)The Inquisition (what a show)The Inquisition (here we go)We know you're wishin' that we'd go away. But the Inquisition's here and it's here to-(Stanley and the Staples appear interrupting Torquemada)
Stanley and the Staples:Hey Toquemada, what do you say.
Torquemada:I just got back from the Auto-de-fe.
Stanley and the Staples:Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?
Torquemada:It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway.Skit skat do ba de day(To Arthur and Janet)Will you convert?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you confess?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you revert?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Will you say yes?
Janet and Arthur:No, no, no, no.
Torquemada:Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please."I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees!
(He hits the cast in the knees like keyboards in a row)
The Back-up Singers:Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try you're luck.Sheriff:Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!
Torquemada:Alright(He proceeds to play the slots using members of the cast and gets the same 3 numbers and money pours out)
(Torquemada walks over to Roach, Ernie, Bobby Blue, Thunder and Lightning)
Torquemada:How we doin', any converts today?
Roach, Ernie, Bobby Blue, Thunder and Lightning:Not a one, nay, nay, nay.
Torquemada:We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns!Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!
(Suddenly several diving boards are erected by the lake as Norma, Jessie, and Lillian get on diving boards dressed as nuns and dive into the water swimming with the cast. Soon they rise on a giant "J" and Torquemada re-appears. They all get in a line in front of the lake and sing)
The Entire Cast:The Inquisition, what a show.The Inquisition, here we go.We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!So all you Muslims and you JewsWe got big news for all of yous:You'd better change your point of views TODAY!'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!
(Everything turns black but light returns with a courtroom scene)
Judge:Mr.Basford you are being charged with the crime of plaigerism. How do you plea?
Joey Basford:Extremely Guilty
Judge:Well Mr.Basford, you have two options go to prison...
Joey Basford:Well Judge I'd do anything for love...but I won't do that
Judge:...or pay back the people you plagerized from despite getting permission to plagerize
Joey Basford:I'll take Jail
(We go to a shot of a poster saying, "Joey Basford Presents...The 50's Reborn!" The poster rises revealing Joey on a mic, Matt Johnson on Guitar, and Jacob Reese on Drums. They proceed to perform Jailhouse Rock as the cast comes out and takes a bow.)

Blue Denim Scenes 11 and 12
Scene 11
(We find Arthur in his bed the next morning, he gets up and goes down stairs where he finds two Police Officers in his living room)
Jessie:Oh Arthur, your up
Arthur:Yeah, w-what’s going on?
Officer 1:Look son, last night there was a robbery and several unanimous tips all point to you as being the one behind it
Arthur:That’s not true!
Officer 2: We’re afraid you’re going to have to come with us
Arthur: This is ridiculous, dad do something!
Major:Look, I know for a fact my boy is innocent
Officer 2:Sir, back away or we’ll have to take you in too
Major:I fought in World War II for this country and by god I demand some respect
Officer 1:Just back away sir and things will be fine, you can call your lawyer right now. Until then your son is a criminal under out custody
(Officer 1 puts handcuffs on Arthur and they take him away in a police cruiser as his neighbors watch on in disappointment)
(Meanwhile over at Janet’s house we find Janet walking out of the bathroom. She sits down at the table)
Janet:Oh gosh, I’m not feeling good
Norma:Why did you get in so late?
Janet:Nothing we just had some fun
Norma:Well, Lillian called and she wants to know what happened
Janet:Why?
Norma:Because Arthur is in jail
Janet:What? What happened?
Norma:They didn’t tell me, they just said they wanted to talk to you
Janet:Somethings up, come on lets go!
(We cut to the Jail cell where we find Arthur in the cell. There he finds 3 people)
Person 1:Well who is this new guy

Arthur:Oh
Kurt:We're looking into a plan for tonight. The prison is having a concert tonight and thats where we are going to make our escape. Can you sing?
Arthur:Well I don't know I've never really tried before
Kurt:Well its not that important of a gig so I guess you can sing but you gotta rally the crowd long enough to spark the riot then we leave and get out of here. I got a friend in England who knows a few things about music and we can be huge.
Arthur:I guess I'll do it
Stanley:Thats the spirit, I'll be on guitar, Kurt on drums, and Tim on bass. We'll be the final act tonight

Warden:Next up in the Petapenpe Prison Prom is Stanley and the Staples with lead singer Arthur Bartley
Kurt:Here we go, kid
(Kurt, Tim, Stanley, and Arthur get on stage)
Stanley:Our first song is bound to be a riot and a half. Its Johnny B. Goode from the coolest cat this side of Connecticut, Chuck Berry
(Guitar riff)
Arthur(singing):
Deep down in Louisiana close to New OrleansWay back up on the woods among the evergreensThere stood an old cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B GoodeWho'd never ever learned to read or write so wellBut he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!
He used to carry his guitar in a gurny sackGo sit beneath the tree by the railroad trackOld engineers in the train would see him him sittin' in the shadeStrummin' with the rhythm that the drivers madeThe people passed him by they would stop and sayOh my but that little country boy could play
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!
(Guitar Solo)(As Guitar Solo begins, Kurt kicks over the amplifier, and the band begins to smash their instruments at that moment a full on prison riot begins. Prisoners begin fighting off the guards. As the guards and prisoners fight, Arthur, Kurt, Tim, and Stanley escape through a back door at the prison and flee into the streets)
