Movie scenes that should be made

Now I am only kind of giving up on becoming a film maker. I mean come on I am 30 with no means to get any kind of funding other then getting lucky and/or winning the lottery. So I present to you the first of the “Scenes that need to be made”. Most of these will be scenes that can go into a lot of different movies. Enjoy.

Set up:  either  at the end of the first act we find ourselves with two FBI agents (Smith and James) on a stake out watching some computer monitors and watching other types of equipment. A third agent (Toms) enters the rundown apartment with a pizza.

JAMES
Man that smells good. I am starving.
TOMS
Yeah well let me put it down first. Crap man!
Agent Toms puts the pizza down on the table
TOMS
How is he doing?
JAMES <with a mouth full>
Ne Oh Ka Bust Iting There.
TOMS
What?
JAMES
He’s ok Just sitting there. Playing cards.
From the other room they hear a low scream. The two men walk around the corner to see SMITH pacing around and picking up a pad and pen that he just tossed at the screen.
SMITH
You ARE an idiot!
TOMS
Smith?
SMITH
Yeah? I don’t know. This guy is supposed to be some terrorist mastermind. He is going to blow something up or pay someone to do it. But all he does is drink coffee, order from the deli which we now control and CHEATS AT FUCKING solitaire.
James is still eating but stops to ask him a question.
JAMES
What? He cheats at solitaire?
SMITH
Yeah, Oh if I just flipped over whatever card I wanted to I would never lose a game either. <Pauses to watch> LOOK there he just put a card BEHIND a card. WHAT THE FUCK.
TOMS
You may want to take a break.
SMITH
No this is my job for now to watch and report on a guy who might, MIGHT be building a bomb.
TOMS
He has the knowhow.
SMITH
Yeah ‘cause we taught him. The good old US of A. We even paid for his collage. This “Bomb Making C.P.A.” does not make bombs and hasn’t done any accounting in weeks. <grabs the screen and yells> HE JUST CHEATS AT SOLITAIRE!!!
TOMS
Right but the last thing he did was moved a shit load of money around for some really bad people.
SMITH
But that was weeks ago.
Phone rings.
JAMES
Hello? Yes Sir. No. Still sitting there, yes sir. Ok we will.
James hangs up.
JAMES
Well we get to talk to him. The boss wants us to snatch him up and see what he knows.

Ok now this is not the best written scene in the world but you get the point.

Mildly Creative

You will always remember your first

I have been thinking about doing one of these for a while. A location for me that is not just randomly putting words and thoughts on paper but trying to get a place to for people share them with me. So this is it. This is the place.

There might be a funny story, there might be something wildly mildly creative, or there might be something that I want to share with the world.

You might not care you might enjoy it but it will be here. 

Back in my gaming days this would have been the "In the Coop with HomChkn" (Home Chicken). But I am a father and husband and job seeker so my time needs to be spent elsewhere. 
It was my gamer/online tag. I had a VERY small comic strip (with the same name as above) written and drawn. Saved on a computer that died, it never saw the light of day. It might make a return. We will see.
