Topic: The Second Ten Lines Contest Starts Now! [CLOSED]

This contest has ended. Check out the results here!

Here's the original description of the contest from the original thread:

RevMen in the original thread wrote:

This is a very wide-open contest that sort of focuses on script writing. It's meant as a nice activity while many of us take our winter/Christmas breaks.

I had no idea that the original contest had been during Winter Break when I posted the introduction thread for this! It was mere luck that we decided to have it during this time.

Here's the rules. There's some new rules, as well. Some are slightly edited from the introduction thread, so please make sure to read these.

1. You may choose ten lines from our list of thirty lines. If you're crazy enough to do so, you may use more than ten.

2. You may write your script any way that you like, just as long as you include the lines listed in their original form. Do not change the lines in any way.

3. If your first language is something other than English, you may translate the lines into your own language and you can have them in your own language in your film. As long as you have subtitles, written
in understandable English, it is fine.

4. While the original contest did not allow for illegal material (copyrighted music, etc.), we will allow you to use copyrighted material IF you credit the person who made it. 

5. NO extreme violence, profanity or sexual references. Mild violence and words like "crap", "hell" and "damn" are okay.


====


Below you will find a list of lines. You are required to choose no less than 10 of them for inclusion in your script. The lines must be either spoken or written whole, uninterrupted and in their entirety during your film.

[b]THE LINES[/b]

"It runs in the family."

"I don't really wanna talk about it."

"Let me show you how a real woman does it."

"And I will rule the world!"

"This couldn't happen to just anybody!"

"I have exactly zero faith in you."

"Well… okay, I suppose we could just go with that."

"A little more to the right."

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

"No, no… THIS is how you shave a cat."

"Relax, I'm just going to mail a letter."

"It'll work, just give it time."

"What a dastardly deed!"

"Well, not 'borrowed' per se…"

"What does that button do?"

"I'm telling dad!"

"Oh no, here comes the train!"

"That's enough hitchhiking for one day."

"Enough chit-chat, let's boogie!"

"Pfff, like that will ever happen!"

"Too many potatoes!"

"My eyes!"

"I can see my house from here!"

"Stop looking at me like that, I didn't do it!"

"That's enough food for you, young man!"

"Am I supposed to learn some kind of moral from this?"

"I'm sick and tired of avalanches!" 

"I can see you over there!"

"What a plot twist!"

"You'll never catch me alive!"

Edit:
Results here!

Small Question (I've never seen a contest like this before, so I full of questions). While we are supposed to use at least 10 lines of the dialogue available to us, can we also have our own lines put into the film to lengthen the film, or to have the story make more sense?

mini/sweat  Oh. I guess I didn't interpret that into the way I was thinking.. I actually thought that meant we could use the ten lines any way we liked, in any order, etc.

Re: The Second Ten Lines Contest Starts Now! [CLOSED]

Great, it finally started, I hope I can get a good movie for this. Got an idea already and a few lines fit just perfect for it.
