From what I understand. Everything on your blog is copyright of you. So I wrote this screenplay and script and I want to make sure that nobody steals it or calls it theirs. So I'm putting it up here. I'll remove it from here after I'm done with the shooting and editing
Story
Scene 1
I woke up today morning and had a cup of tea. Nothing New. I got my stuff and started my bike. Nothing New. Just when I thought it was going to be just another day, something caught my attention. I saw this tree and for some reason, the leaves looked . . . exceptionally green.
This got me thinking and today it had me obsessing about the colour green.
Scene 2
I try to ignore it as I make my way through the always endless stream of cars but traffic light turns from green to red. Green means go. Going implies moving and movement. Movements take you forward. Moving forward means progress. Green indirectly means progress. There that guy, do you see him, he’s wearing a green military fatigue print. Green fatigues are used to camouflage people in areas of thick vegetation. Fatigues are worn by soldiers in times of war. . . where people die. Green helps people kill other people. Though I don’t think that that guy was about to kill anybody or had the intention to do so. People probably wear green because looking at green things is good for your eyes or so I was told as a kid. I don’t know how far this is true but green money in my hands only seems to be really good for my eyes.
Scene 3
People at my workplace, I see them go green with envy. Becoming envious only makes you unhappy about what you have or makes you think about what you don’t. Green is associated with jealousy and being jealous, I guess. I still don’t understand why it’s called a green eyed monster. I wonder what Shakespeare was thinking when he coined the term.
Scene 4
Due to the environment, we are told to go green any way we can. Some friends told me about a guy who literally went green. He turned green before he threw up. Poor guy had too much to drink. Green is an indication of sickness then.
Scene 5
People can turn green huh? Bruce Banner turns green when he gets angry. Then he turns into the Hulk. Wouldn’t that be great You turn green, wreak havoc everywhere and then blame it on somebody else. Green becomes a form of escape. I suppose it must be, the Green Arrow and the Green Lantern are heroes who have integrated the colour green as part of their identity to help people. But then there is also the Green Goblin who is Spider-man’s greatest enemy and is a villain. And what about the Skrull, they are aliens who are evil and want to control Earth. They also have green skin. Aliens used to be called little green men. I wonder if there is a connection.
Scene 6
For some reason, most of the girls I see tend to stay away from the colour green when it comes to their cosmetics. I’d like to se a woman with a full head of green hair or green face make-up or just green nail polish. Till date, I’ve not even seen even one of these things on a woman but I would like to. I wonder how many gods are green in colour. Krishna and Shiva are blue, Satan is portrayed red. Gods seem to stay away from the colour green to the best of my knowledge. Though in Ireland, they celebrate St. Patrick’s Day where for one whole day, one whole country pretty much venerates the colour green. To them, green is good.
Scene 7
What about green as a colour then? Well it is in the middle of a rainbow, just look at it. A rainbow is VIBGYOR. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red. Three colours on the left and three colours on the right. I guess green then becomes an ambiguous fence sitter in a prism, an in-between. There are so many more green things out there and green means so much but why should it mean anything at all and can anybody actually have green?
Scene 8
I’m going to have my green now. It’s night so I’m away from the sun’s ultra VIOLET rays. My green is wrapped in white, gets rid of my BLUES, makes my eyes RED, it makes Coldplay’s YELLOW sound great and turns BLACK and GREY after burning bright ORANGE. This is grass that makes everything greener on my side.

Coffee drinking girl now realizes that other girl is also looking and turns her head to look at computer girl. Computer girl now realizes that coffee girl is looking at her so she also turns away from guy and looks at coffee drinking girl.
