MOVIE ONE: Easy A

Hi everyone!
So here I come with the first movie of the blog. I'm gonna post the trailer and some of the scenes of the movie with the part of the script that goes with each one.

Starring Emma Stone as Olive Penderghast, the main character of this High School comedy who has problems with some rumors about the lost of her virginity.
Here is the synopsis:

"After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school - until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing."

And here is the trailer:




The whole script will be uploaded soon, but for those of you who want to watch more about the movie,  here they go, some clips of the movie with the script fragments. Don't forget it's American English, and is a High School comedy so it includes a lot of colloquialisms and phrases that are useful for you if you're into American English. Thank you for watching and enjoy!

CLIP 1: WHO TOLD YOU?

OLIVE
You guys know that
I was here all weekend, right?
OLIVE'S DAD
Yeah.
OLIVE'S MOM
Yes, you were upstairs.
OLIVE'S DAD
Yeah.
OLIVE
You would testify to that?
OLIVE'S DAD
Yeah.
I would take a bullet for you.
You know that.
Right between the eyes.
Man, I would slit my throat
rather than say something
to someone that you didn't want me to say.
OLIVE
That's not necessary.
But that is comforting.
OLIVE'S DAD
That's how I am, how I roll.
That's how I do, as they say.
OLIVE'S BROTHER
I like the pants.
OLIVE
Thank you. They're Costco.
You can have them
when you get a little taller.
OLIVE'S  BROTHER
I'm never gonna go through puberty.
OLIVE'S MOM
Course you will.
But we're a family of late bloomers.
I didn't until I was 14. Nor did Olive.
OLIVE'S BROTHER
Why does that matter? I'm adopted.
OLIVE'S DAD
What? Oh, my God. Who told you?
Guys, we were gonna do this
at the right time.
Listen to me.
Sometimes, even when a man and
a woman love each other very much
like your mother and I used to
their insides just don't cooperate
with each other.
OLIVE'S MOM
So, what's going on, honey?
Why do you want us to take a bullet
if anyone asks if you were here?
OLIVE'
It's nothing. It's just the rumor mill.
OLIVE'S MOM
What's the rumor mill churning out
these days? Anything interesting?
OLIVE
You know, not really. Not really.
It's a little low on grist.
OLIVE'S DAD
Clever wordplay. I like it.
You must be related to me.
OLIVE
Only by marriage.
OLIVE'S DAD
Give it to me.
OLIVE
So, what we're all gonna take away
from this: I was here all weekend, right?


CLIP 2: HIGHER POWER


MARIANNE
Maybe next time a certain somebody
will be a little more careful
what she says in the water closet.

OLIVE
Yeah, about that? It's...
That's actually not what you think.
Can I talk to you alone
for a second?

NINNA
You gonna be okay?

MARIANNE
Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

OLIVE
Bye, Nina.
What you heard in the bathroom
the other day wasn't true at all.
It's actually a funny story.

MARIANNE
Olive. That's your name, right?

OLIVE
Yeah, yeah. And you're Marianne.
We've had nine classes together
since kindergarten.
Ten, if you count Religion
of Other Cultures, which you didn't
cos you called it science fiction
and refused to go.

MARIANNE
Yeah. Listen, I'm not the one
that you have to answer to
for your depraved behavior.
There's a higher power
that will judge you for your indecency.

OLIVE
Tom Cruise?

MARIANNE
I hope for your sake
that God has a sense of humor.

OLIVE
Oh, I have 17 years' worth
of anecdotal proof he does.

MARIANNE
You've made your bed.
I just hope for your sake
that you've cleaned the sheets.

OLIVE
Did I just get saved?

NINNA
I missed you.

CLIP 3: HIT THE BOOKS


RHIANNON
Let's just face it,
there is not such things
as a sexy George, alright?
George is not a sexy name.
George is what you name
your teddy bear
not the name you wanna
scream out during climax.

MR. GRIFFITH
And by that, I assume you mean?

 OLIVE
The stable and self-perpetuating
end stage in the evolution
of a plant community.

RHIANNON
Right.

OLIVE
Why, what were you thinking?

MR. GRIFFITH
The same. But I don't say it out loud
lest someone get the wrong idea.
I think you know innuendo
is attached to everything these days.

RHIANNON
Innuendo? What...?
Whatever do you mean?

MR. GRIFFITH
Rhiannon, Olive, go hit the books.
They don't hit back.
Also, hugs not drugs.
Mess with the bull, get the horns.
And any other cliches
you can come up with.

OLIVE
Bye, Mr. Griffith.

RHIANNON
Bye.
OLIVE
Watch your mouth.

RHIANNON
Sorry.

CLIP 4: YOU'RE GOING TO HELL


MARIANNE
Seems as if someone's
on a downward spiral.

OLIVE
Seems as if someone's
practicing the mundane activities she'll be saddled with
the rest of her pathetic life.

MARIANNE
I hope you at least had the good sense
to use protection.

OLIVE
Why? Your parents didn't.

MARIANNE
You're going to hell.

OLIVE
Just as long as you won't be there.

MARIANNE
I can assure you I won't.

OLIVE
Good.



SEE YOU SOON!
