Script for thriller

Mum tiding room
Doorbell goes
She opens the curtain
Mum: Hello, how can I help you?
Police: Hello. There have been some robberies in the area and I am going from door to door to see if anyone had seen or heard anything.
Mum: hear baby crying) wait there a minute I’m just going to make sure that he’s alright
Police steps through the door and closes it behind him. Mum comes back and sees that he is in the house and looks exasperated
Mum: Do you want some tea?
Police: Yes please, that would be lovely
Mum leaves room, police picks up papers and searches in draws.
Mum: pokes her head round the door Do you want sugar with that?
Police drops papers and looks innocent on the sofa.
Police: Ummm…. Yes, great. Oh is it just you in the house?
Mum: Yes, at the moment my husband is travelling a lot laughs lightly so where the robberies?
Police: At the same time what colour is your underwear?
Mum: looks confused sorry, what?   
Police: what? He moves menacingly infront of her, mum tries to put the tea down but policeman blocks her. Mum drops tea.
Mum: flustered   I’m terribly sorry; I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I will just go and get a mop.
Police grabs Mums wrist and throws her agest the wall
Police: Your not going anywhere.
Police leans in and licks her face slowly.

The use of having a child present, makes the audience symphathetic towards the mum and also gives the impression to the audience that she will do anything to protect her child which she will later in the sequence. We decided to have the "licking of the face" to make the audience feel disgusted and also subvert their expectations of the intentions of a policeman and his place of authourity. We decided to have him saying something creepy underneath her speech to make it obvious to the audience hes not who he appears to be and also use the typical dialougue of her saying "what" and him replying "what" here he is physcoligically tricking her into thinking shes heard something he hasn't said this will make her second guess herself and also make her think she's being too paranoid and make an attempt to calm herself down, which gives the policeman oppurtunity to get her at her weakest.
