Pimp my TV (RA's Entry)

EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

A middle-aged black WOMAN cradles a bloody, lifeless young teen in her arms. WILL, a tall black teenager stands next to her. Sirens wail in the distance.

WOMAN

Will! Will! What have you done!

CUT TO:

CU on Will's face.

WILL

Snitch got what he deserved.

CUT TO:

Medium shot. Sirens closing in.

WOMAN

Baby, you gotta get outta here. Go!

Will pauses a moment, then runs. Camera lingers on him running away, then cuts back to woman and child.

A funky bass riff starts playing. Quick cuts of the city streets - random violence on display everywhere. Muggers, prostitutes, pimps, and dealers on every corner. Cops beating a suspect in the middle of the street. The bass is joined by a small combo and continues through the trailer.
