James Woods Story

The Online Movie Script by: Jason Barlow Cunningham

At Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church, Woods reflects on his life, his purpose, and why is he is in a place that he does not seem to belong. Not saying that he is against Church, but he is a shadow here, the only reason Woods is know here, is because of his affiliation with the firm, Carlton, Levine, and Smith. The Church is so big one could get lost, however it is powerful to see an affluent African-American Church, something he did not experience in childhood.

(He goes to Michelle's after Church to talk to her about what he knows about his firm.)

He rings the door bell.

Michelle Tanner: Hey Woods, come in!

James Woods: We need to talk. Yesterday I saw some shady stuff. The firm is cheating, lying about the profitability of companies, so these companies can be sold for a higher price. I have proof, my whole life was this job.

Michelle Tanner: What are going to do? I hope nothing rash, think this through first, Woods.

James Woods: I just need some time to rest on it. (He hesitates a little.) I'll eventually do the right thing even if it's leaving the firm. I didn't feel good about today.

Michelle Tanner: What are you talking about?

James Woods: I go strictly to that Church because the firm wants me to foster business relationships, and look for opportunities, while making the face of the firm always visible.

Michelle Tanner: So the truth finally comes out. Do what makes you happy. I mean it, find your pot of happiness. Your hurt will be eased, just believe in yourself, Woods. So I expect to see you at Church next Sunday, right?

James Woods: Not yet, I have to play it cool, otherwise they will figure it out. No sudden changes. I have to act as if I know nothing concerning the matter. I have to run.

Michelle Tanner: What is the rush?

James Woods: I have some number crunching to do. Didn't get a lot of work done yesterday. (He kisses Michelle on the cheek and leaves.)
