This is the new script adapted for the two films, Kill Bill (2003) directed by Quentin
Tarantino and V for Vendetta (2005) directed
by James McTeigue. Swapping the two films, I created a new version of the script
to show how the characters Black Mamba and V react and converse in a totally
different atmosphere of a dissimilar situation; Black Mamba fighting against
the government in a dystopia and V against a man named Bill. Since both
characters have a similar vengeance, I thought it’d be fairly interesting to
see how each character would handle the opposite situation in their own way. I took a scene from each movie and reworded
it to express the generalizations of what each character would say in the given
situation.
Kill Vendetta:
Copperhead: Look, if I could go back in a
machine, I would. But I can't. All can tell you is that I'm a different person
now.
Vendetta: Yes, yes my dear. I’m sure
you are.
Copperhead: Be that as it may, I know I
don't deserve your mercy or your forgiveness. However, I beseech you for both
on behalf of my daughter.
Vendetta: Madame, you
can stop right there. Just because I have no wish to murder you in front of
your child doesn't mean that boasting her around me and hoping I won’t kill you
in front of her is the right idea. Remember that you and I have unfinished
business. And not even you’re precious little girl will change that; you are
dying tonight and there is no doubt about it, I’m afraid.
Copperhead: So when do we do this?
Vendetta: It all
depends my dear. When do you want to die? Tomorrow? How is day after tomorrow
for you? Beyond that I may have to pencil you in, you see, I’m a bit busier
nowadays.
Copperhead: How about tonight, bitch?
Vendetta: Yes, yes
most excellent! What a marvelous idea. Where do you plan to have our little
brawl?
Copperhead: There's a baseball diamond
where I coach Little League about a mile from here. We meet there around in the
morning dressed all in black. Your hair in a black stocking. And we have us a
knife fight. We won't be bothered. Now... I have to fix Nikki's cereal.
V for Bill:
Creedy: Defiant to
the end, huh? You won't cry like him, will you? You're not afraid of death.
You're like me.
Black Mamba: No! I’m not
afraid of you nor am I afraid of death. I am nothing like you except well, we
are both going to die tonight.
Creedy: How do you imagine that's gonna
happen?
Black Mamba: With my
sword.
Creedy: Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh?
We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and
your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.
Black Mamba: They always
say how stupid it is to bring a knife to a gun show but I thought that I could
have this one minor exception besides by the time you and your men reloaded
your pesky guns, you’re head will already be severed and in my hand. Pray for
mercy now Creedy.
Creedy: That's impossible. Kill him.
Black Mamba: No, now it’s
my turn. Ladies first.
Creedy: Die! Die! Why won't you die?...
Why won't you die?
Black Mamba: My anger will
always reflect your measly bullets. You can continue to shoot me like some
crazy jackass but just know that you will always be the one who will be getting
hurt.
