For my part, I was planning a tattoo, but I couldn't get the right tone for it. So, I went with a "wrong place, wrong time"-type thing.
That's interesting. I want to know more about why he doesn't like his wife. The "yeah right" in the dialogue has me more curious than anything.
And you know what? Ima thinkin' that maybe, (it would need to be rewritten ('cause I'm crazy about rewrites) (and lots of parentheses ) but it would be interesting if Walter's wife sent him to the store specifically, I mean SPECIFICALLY and she's set him up?
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.
Maybe she's trying to get something from him? Like real love? Something to bring him out of himself? His insane love of Crime dramas?
Good work so far lads, and a nice jump off point for me there, Blonde.
What kind of person would I be if I didn't? =)
EDIT: Sandra, of my part, I had a song I wanted her to put on before she leaned in to Larry. It was supposed to be "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon. But, alas, I ran out of space. I needed about four mores lines. Need to work on my script space management. =(
It's funny. I put this whole thing together in FD and am reading through it. This thing is all over the place, but given enough time, there could actually be a real story here.
Perhaps a little too much. I think we often confuse horror with story.
Why are these guys doing all this bad stuff? What is their motivation?

My idea of this dentist thing was you have these backroom doctors who are a little fucked in the head. But, now, it grows even further. What will we get next?

I like your idea. I'm just trying to go deeper into the catalyst of this whole thing.
He was watching Television. He doesn't have a good relationship with his wife. It's suspect that he might be treading on insanity. And why? Did something happen to him? Does his wife really love him? Is she trying to bring him back around? Using harsh means?
THROUGH A SCOPE Dr. Lian and the man surround Walter.
THE MAN You know why I’m here?
WALTER No. No, I don’t.
THE MAN You don’t remember anything?
WALTER What do you want from me?
The man studies the bloody tooth.
THE MAN You’re the only one. Unfortunately it’s made you insane.
WALTER You’re insane. Just let me go.
THE MAN I can’t. The cure for cancer lies within your teeth. Obviously, it’s had counter-productive effects on you’re mentality. Hallucinations. Paranoia. First try though.
WALTER I don’t understand. I just wanna go home.
THE MAN This is...
A barrage of bullets mow down the man and Dr. Lian. Walter leans down. Sobs.
WALTER Please. God. help me!
A masked man walks in...
MASKED MAN God doesn't care. Neither do I.
That said, the masked man pulls a knife. Cuts Walters restraints.

MASKED MAN Come with me.
Excellent jwent! Now we have a clue. They're after a cure. Strong motivation. What is his link to this ring? How did they find out this peculiarity about him?
Was he involved in a research study previous to this? Was his involvement a way to earn some cash that he desperately needed?
Walter and the Masked Man continue to run down the damp, abandoned street. Suddenly, Walter stops in his tracks.
WALTER If you don't tell me what is going on right now -
The Masked Man turns to Walter - grabs his collar.
MASKED MAN I don't care who you are, what you do, if you have a lovely family or live alone and pleasure yourself every night to episodes of Ellen... if you don't come with me right now, I am going to shove this gun in your temple, and you will pass. The. Fuck. Out.
The Masked Man positions his gun ready to strike Walter.
Pause.
WALTER All I want to know -
WHACK! Walter crumples to the ground. The Masked Man picks him up over his shoulder, continues to run down the street.
As the Masked Man gets to the end of the street, an icecream van pulls up, boppy music blaring. The door opens, The Masked Man jumps in, and the van quickly drives off, as icecream falls from the truck onto the road.
