Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

This script honestly started as a killer robot story, then I hit page 60 and realized how boring and overdone that was. So I did a page one rewrite of something earnest and vulnerable about how we fully heal from loss and the power of sexual fulfillment in a relationship. #Scriptsky #Screenpit

FAR AS THE CROW FLIES A guilt-plagued school-shooting survivor and an emotionally-numb goth become unlikely 'fruit-pickers for a visa' on a remote orchard — but when their predatory boss kidnaps them, they must rekindle each other’s will to live. Big Break QF #screenpit #scriptsky #fe #thr #ho
A rusty-brown tattered feather against a light blue background.  Text: FAR AS THE CROW FLIES / Written by Adele SmaillEXT. HIGH ON A HILLY ROAD, SOUTH AUSTRALIA - DAWN
Perched on a pine bough, a raven eyes a wallaby, dead on the
verge. Guts spilled and stinking. A tempting feast.
Talons shift as the raven weighs it up. Listens... looks...
The distant THRUM of an ageing minivan intrudes on hot dry
silence. Rising dust traces its slaloming course along the
dirt track winding along the valley floor below.

Here comes trouble.
Shiny eyes focus on the roadkill. Trouble’s no stranger.

REFLECTION IN LARGE MIRROR SHADES - DAWN
Fence posts flick by like clockwork. Tick, tick, tick. The
mirror shades belong to...

...CROW (20, androgynous goth, all in black, chipped nails to
match), gazing idly out the middle-row window of the...

INT. MINIVAN - CONTINUOUS

TORI (O.S.)
(U.S. Midwest accent)
Slow up a bit?
Crow looks over at TORI (19, short, awkward, her T-shirt
reads ‘SHIT HAPPENED’), her eyes fixed on the twisting road.

At least she’ll see it coming.

Behind the wheel, KYLE (22, impulsive, macho good looks, just
a hint of a U.S. accent under an Ozzie drawl) plants his
foot. The minivan accelerates. Petty vengeance.

Beside him, EMMA (19, stylish, American) plays peacemaker.

EMMA
Tori? You carsick?

The prospect of vomit gets Kyle’s attention. He eases back.

TORI
No. I - I just don’t like...

The engine revs as Kyle speeds up. Emma settles back, hiding
an eye roll.

DUST ON DIRT A burger-slinging astronomy student used as prey in a sadistic hunting game in the desert escapes, and finds help from a reclusive smuggler – but when she uncovers his deal with her kidnappers, she must confront her own capacity for violence. Nicholl QF #screenpit #scriptsky #Fe #Thr
A dry scrub-covered hillside under a brass-blue sky. A few scattered clouds, but no chance of rain.  Text: A Script by Adele Smaill / DUST ON DIRTEXT. DESTROYED WATER STATION IN THE WILDERNESS – NIGHT
Drops of water strike wet earth.

Slow...

...and stop.

A drained water barrel, peppered with bullet holes. Slashed
empty water containers litter the rocky clearing.

A flag, emblazoned with a rain drop, droops from a whip pole.

Facing away, an INFANT in a pink onesie crawls in the dirt.
She turns her head. She's long since dead. No eyes to her
sockets, skin withered to the bone.

INT. TROY'S TRAILER - BEDROOM ALCOVE – DAY

TROY (a gaunt 50s) gasps awake, heart POUNDING.
Flat on his back on a narrow pull-down bed, late afternoon sun
streaming through the window.

TROY
It's ok.

Bleak eyes give the lie, but the POUNDING quiets and slows.
He retrieves a pistol from the tatty console by the bed and
looks it over. His hand trembles. The gun shakes. It's
ridiculous. Pathetic, even.

Steady hands put the finishing touches on a flat twist crown.

SHIELLE (O.S.)

Intent on her reflection, RAQUEL (21, Black, short, in a
