But it turns out his buddy’s gone a little cuckoo, a fact that is confirmed when he randomly hops out of their moving cab to avoid the government. The next stop is an old genius stock broker friend of Harvey’s, a guy who was so smart, he invented “The Misery Index,” which can basically predict catastrophe with 75% accuracy. Which means the rest of our script is part-musical. This sends Harvey back to the hospital, where they inform him that the head-hit has given him a unique condition where he imagines everyone breaking into song. But when his opponent turns out to be a really good female kangaroo, he gets knocked out in the first round. The first stop is a boxing match in Little Italy. Harvey appears to have two goals here – have fun with his daughter and look for opportunities to make money. Then we turn right and carry on until we see the apartment building where Kitty Genovese was repeatedly stabbed while 38 onlookers did nothing. Two blocks until we get to the cafe where Crazy Joey Gallo was gunned down by Albert Anastacio in front of his children. Whereas your average dad will check his phone and point when you ask him where you’re headed, this is a typical Harvey response: “This way. Why 1.2 million dollars? We’re not told yet. So on the one day of the week he gets to see his daughter, 11 year-old Chloe, he decides to apply for a 20 thousand dollar loan in the hopes that he and Chloe can turn it into 1.2 million dollars. Maybe you guys can help.Ĥ0-something New Yorker, Harvey Winters, has been informed by his doctor that he’s got inoperable cancer and he’s going to die. Yet you’re not sure what to do with that power. You feel the power of something special being presented. It’s one of those scripts that you’re not sure what to do with. It’s sort of like Big Fish meets Little Miss Sunshine. If my contest were awarding scripts for how interesting they were, Osculum Inflame would be number one on the list. The Misery Index also finished Top 50 in last year’s Nichol contest. Premise: A terminally ill, improvident father spends the last day of his life touring NYC with his estranged daughter, and has only a few hours to right a lifetime of wrongs…and make 1.2 million dollars.Ībout: This is the 6TH BEST SCRIPT from my contest, which had over 2000 entries.
