EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT Fog pours over the hills of a moonlit graveyard. A black SUV sits parked, engine idling, headlights shining on an exhumed grave. Slug already told us it's at a cemetery, graveyard is redundant Sits parked is itself redundant Engine idles, not idling headlights shine, not shining
A black SUV idles under moonlight, headlights shine on an exhumed grave.
Two thugs, VINNY mid forties, and ANTHONY mid thirties, dressed in velour sweat suits and gaudy gold jewelry, drag a wooden box towards the edge of an open grave. They position themselves on both ends of the box, and prepare to throw it in to the hole. Thugs is a... fairly loose job occupation. Their actions and attire should suggest such. Not "an open grave". Unless there's more than one out there this night, "the exhumed grave". "prepare to throw it in the hole" is kind of a given considering they're - standing at each end of a box (presumably person sized, not jewelery) - at an exhumed grave - in a cemetery - at night.
VINNY, 40s, and ANTHONY 30s, velour sweat suits and gaudy gold jewelry, drag a makeshift, wooden coffin to the grave. They stand at both ends of the box.
VINNY 1... 2... 3... Now! Gotta spell out the numbers. VINNY One... two... three... Now!
And most people agree to toss on three rather than that four count. If this is gonna be a comedy they can have a little cliche conversation "On or after the count of three?"
