  6. Act 1 • Scene 5 • Interior • Paul ( Dad) : I bought this Bookmobile from the Martins Ferry Library in Ohio. I had already offered them $1500.00 so when I had no call back , I called and asked. I spoke to Yvonne and she said they just put new tires on for $3000.00 . So I offered her $3250.00 and she said come get it. The night before I sold a Bookmobile I bought in Minnesota for $2500.00 FOR $12,500.00 to a guy in Columbus Ohio. This Bookmobile was 50 miles from him and they had it sitting for a year with no takers. • Interviewer : Why did you buy this Bookmobile? • Paul: Because I could! I got a great deal, this went new for $90,000.00 . It is already converted to a coach, generator 10 kw , deisel , low miles 150,000. By the time I drove it home the next day , I knew it would make a great limo coach. Oh ya , the trip to get the bus I sold a limousine to a guy who paid me to deliver it to him in Pitts, Pa and we then drove to get the bus and he left from there. • Every thing is connected, somehow, in layers. This bus will work with Another Way Out transportation, my livery business.

  7. Act 1 • Scene 6 • Exterior : Shoot Bus with simulator in it and simulators in Half a house. Interviewer: Is this another limo coach? Paul: This is another business. A mobile driving simulation business. I worked with the Boston Police Academy for a few years with fixed simulators. I leased them two machines by the year. I need to make them mobile. Bill Clinton named computer simulation as the next phase in business trends. Bookmobiles are great , especially with the w/c lifts. Mobile training simulators cost thousands per day. I own 10 all together with one just installed in this bus. I brokered deals in California with SORG, Greensboro, SC Police Dept., and Mc Kinney Texas Sheriffs, dpt . Interviewer : How much are each new? Paul: The Doron 450 Le’s are worth $135,000 each. I have 6 of them. Only changes have been to graphics which are slight. 66 Scripted scenarios , free driving and you can change vehicles from a cop car to a fire engine, a truck, bus and a regular car. This will be the only private mobile simulation business on the whole East Coast to New York . Imagine having a business now a days that n o one else is doing!

  8. Act One • Scene 7 • Exterior: • Interviewer: Now what are these things doing here? • Paul : This is my other hobby. I buy things, high end monstrous things in auctions all over the country and resell them. This will be the third stage I have bought and resold. I even sold my services to recondition their enire stage including these for another $10, 500.00. I bought this stage for $1600.00 in Salisbury, Maryland the weekend of the hurricane. I made two trips and left Md after loading the last group the Sunday every one was told to evacuate. I got home that night. I spent $1300 in truck rental, gas, tolls. I just signed a contract for the whole set up with the Summer Winds Performing Arts center in Ct for $26, 500.00 . I will use the old plywood to finish the half of a house I bought and moved here for $625.00.

Act 3 • Scene 1 • Interior : Shot of Paul on an auction talking while bidding about starting out looking thru phonebooks for banks. • Paul : It was the start of the pamphlet people and bank auctions etc. It was bullshit. I went straight to the source. Like business and companies , if I jump threw hoops and get hired at $ 50,000.00 per year, then I must be taking at least three times that in for the company. I can do that myself with out some company that could give two shits about me and mine. If you cant do it from with in , you just cant do it . Iot starts in the gut , with what you were born with.

  19. Paul, It looks like you have a good framework here. After reviewing it, I can see what you are trying to accomplish. Good effort. However, the scenes are stark, and the script is rather sparse. For instance, you begin the story with an interview, well, what kind of interview, and where is it? Who is interviewing your children and girlfriend and where? Additionally, you don’t provide any slides for illustrations in this assignment. Quite frankly, from my experience as an instructor in this course, Paul, you didn’t have much time to put this together, so you threw it together quickly…yes? Most students don’t perform well on this assignment, however, it is critical to put the necessary time and detail into these items. Trust me. I think we should review this more after our next class. Grade on Script: 67 Grade on Storyboard: 52
