FADE IN:

EXT. LIMBO - DAY
                                                            
Pans down over endless sky scrapers, camera settles on tall
slender young man, with two other figures on each side in a
shallow depth of field.
                                                            
                       MT
      (In thought)
One year, four months, and
twenty-one days ago today we
landed in Limbo. I feel somewhat
responsible for being here,
because after all it was my idea
to go this deep, a dream, within a
dream, within a dream.
                                                            
Snapping MONTY out of deep concentration, a huge dark figure
approaches, camera moves up focusing on the face of black
man grinning from ear to ear
                                                            
                       DB
Ah just another day in paradise,
nothing could be better than this,
am I right or am I right, aye
MONTY?
                                                            
MONTY shrugs and shifts his weight to his right leg
                                                            
                       MT
Sure DEVONTE it's great.
                                                            
A voice approaches from behind
                                                            
                       LD
Come on DEVONTE you know he's
getting tired of being here
                                                            
DEVONTE turns to see a gorgeous young women sitting on a
park bench under a large oak tree filing her nails
                                                            
                       DB
How can you get tired of this, if
you don't like something you can
change it whenever
                                                            
A statue of a nude women beings to build it self on
DEVONTE'S left
                                                            

2.

                       LD
      (He gestures to
       his left)
See LUCY! How can this get old?
                                                            
LUCY stands up and walks to MONTY'S left
                                                            
                       LD
It can and is getting old, we've
built and destructed everything
possible and impossible,
now theres nothing left to do!
                                                            
DEVONTE looks at MONTY with a confused and upset look
                                                            
                       DB
MONTY, how do we do this?
                                                            
                       MT
Do what?
                                                            
DEVONTE points to his left, as the statue of the nude woman
crumbles to the ground
                                                            
                       DB
This
                                                            
MONTY buries his head in his hands
                                                            
                       MT
Are you serious DEVONTE?
                                                            
DEVONTE looks away, sad.
                                                            
                       MT
Okay, we're in several dreams. We
started in a single dream, we went
three dreams deep. We finally went
so deep, too deep; to where
we ended up in Limbo.
unconstructed dream space
where minutes in the real world
can be years here. We are stuck in
this place until we die.
                                                            
MONTY looks around
                                                            
                       MT (continues)
In dreams anything is possible,
you can construct entire cities in
minutes and create anything
                                                            
LUCY pats MONTY on the back and smiles
                                                            

3.

                       DB
Okay, sorry about that, I guess I
never put it together.
                                                            
DEVONTE puts his hands in his pockets and rocks back and
forth. LUCY starts walking toward the exit of the park. She
is followed by the others.
                                                            
                       LD
MONTY, how do you know so much
about dreams and stuff?
                                                            
MONTY continues walking through a massive building, a
hallway appears with each step.
                                                            
                       MT
      (Never makes eye
       contact)
Well in the real world, I'm
working on my PhD in abnormal
psychology or I was, and most of
my dissertation is on lucid
dreaming and dreaming in general.
                                                            
                       LD
      (Voice is harsh)
If you know so much about dreaming
and stuff, what gave you this
great idea, to go this deep
in dreams?
                                                            
MONTY stops and stares LUCY dead in the eyes
                                                            
                       MT
A friend, he talked about it
almost every second of everyday,
he sparked my interest.
                                                            
MONTY rubs his eyes
                                                            
                       MT
      (Almost in a
       whisper)
Dammit DOM, because of you I'm
stuck in Limbo
                                                            
                       LD
      (Confused)
Whose DOM?
                                                            
MONTY continues walking, DEVONTE still silent looks to be in
deep thought.
                                                            

4.

                       MT
DOMINIC COBB, he was the best
extractor, he could steal your
deepest secrets in dreams, we
started talking at during the
press release of dream sharing, he
was the first person to introduce
me to the dream world.
                                                            
MONTY pauses as they exit the hallway through the building,
shielding his eyes from the sun.
                                                            
                       MT
I curse the day, he brought up a
dream with a dream, and another
within that, he was my friend, but
now I have never felt as much
hatred towards anything as I do
towards that man.
                                                            
DEVONTE steps in front of LUCY and MONTY
                                                            
                       DB
      (Yells)
Hey guys check this out!
                                                            
As DEVONTE continues down the street a glass dome covers the
street stretching from building to building.
                                                            


FADE OUT.

I like it,interesting script. Its just to bad that the contemporary science fiction classic was written by Christopher Nolan himself; otherwise a unique screenplay. Oh by the way very memorable dialog.
