That script I mentioned in the earlier post...

For your reading pleasure...

INT/NIGHT/HOTEL CORRIDOR
(We use a track-right camera movement, in a slow pace. We are focussed close to the ground, and we see a pair of legs walk into the frame. The trousers are gray in colour, formal trousers & black leather shoes are worn. Also to the top of the frame, we notice the lower portion of what looks like a briefcase. We are still tracking right, when a door opens and the man walks in.)

INT/NIGHT/HOTEL ROOM
(The briefcase is thrown on the bed; it falls right in front of the camera. In the background, we notice the man, out-of-focus, going into the bathroom.
We have a tight close-up on the tap, water is running from it. Hands in the water. Water is splashed on the face. The towel is pulled down from the rod. The face is wiped [the first time we see the face of the man] and we hear a phone ringing. The man looks down to his pocket. He whips out the phone, looks at the caller-id, grimaces and answers the call)
MAN
Haan Smita! Bolo...Kya?! Nahin, abhi nahin, mein busy hoon! Kaam kar raha hoon baba...!
(Man walks towards his briefcase, still talking. From the POV of the briefcase, phone between shoulder and ear, opening the briefcase, he continues.)
MAN
Ae, aise mat bol, maine kal hi bataya tha!! Haan! Ab tum sunti nahi toh...!Abhi... abhi.... arre! Accha... haan haan, le kar aaonga! Arre ghabra mat! Accha theek hai... Haan haan I LOVE YOU!
(Snaps the phone off. Goes back to his briefcase. Walks towards the window, surveys his surroundings, looks out, opens the window. Frame is from outside the window. Goes back to his briefcase, comes back with a frame of some sort. Places it and goes back.
We now see tight close-ups of equipment being snapped into place. We see his fingers calliberating meters and eye-scopes.
From behind him, he exits the frame, we realise, it's a SNIPER RIFLE.
Man goes to the fruit basket, gun behind him, out-of-focus. Takes a banana, starts eating. Again phone rings.
He is walking as he is talking.)
MAN
Haan sir, haan sir. Mein yaheen hoon. Haan haan, koi dikhat nahin thi, bahut aasaan the woh dono. Yeh thoda difficult lagta hai, kaafi door hai naa, isliye. Haan, sir. Ho jaayega. Theek hai sir. Ok sir.
(Snaps phone shut. Looks out the window. We see what he sees, OS [Over-Shoulder].
Focus on the building, across the road. We see a window light up.
Back to man. He sits at his position. Calliberating his scope. Now, we see his scope's view, with the cross-hairs, focussing on the lighted window. We notice there's another SNIPER on the other side.
Tight close-up of main man's pupil.)
MAN
OH SHIT!!
(BANG! Focus on man's back, he falls bacl towards camera, gun all alone. Now, we Dolly out [camera movement] from main man's window, go across the road and into the other SNIPER's room. He is dressed in T-shirt with some rock band's image printed on it, having long hair, like a rocker. He calls.)
SNIPER
Haan bhai! Rathod ka aadmi tapka diya, haan! Theek hai...
(Disconnects. His phone rings. He answers.)
SNIPER
Hmmm? Arre dudhi laya hai baba!!
(Now we see his side profile, man is in focus. He goes out-of-focus, foreground comes into focus, we see a plastic bag with dudhi in it.)

THE END

There might be some linguistic/grammatical errors. Deal with it!

Rant Over.
