Modern Damenyana Script

Scene 1-the argument

Henry: I’ve decided to make Damen the successor of this company.
Scarlett: YOU’RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE HE IS YOUR FAVORITE SON!
Henry: No, I am NOT! This is not about which son I like most but about skill! And I believe, Damen could manage this very well for it to not fall into pieces when I’m gone!
Scarlett: What are you trying to say? That my son, EDWARD, IS NOT SKILLED? Is that it? Or maybe you prefer your wife now rather than your ex-wife because you think she’s better that’s why you left us!
Henry: I did not say any of that. What you’re thinking is non-sense.
Scarlett: oh, so that’s how you treat me now? Did you forget that you owe me something? Wasn’t I the one who begged for those kidnappers to keep your precious Damen safe? And with that, you were able to get him and imprison those kidnappers?
Henry: I…I…FINE! What do you want?
Scarlett: hmm, because I’m so kind…I won’t ask something big from you…I JUST WANT YOU TO CHOOSE EDWARD AS THE SUCCESSOR OF THIS COMPANY and LET DAMEN LEAVE THIS PLACE AS IF HE WASN’T YOUR SON AT ALL. So do you agree?
Henry: if I disagree with you, Would there be any difference?
Scarlett: I don’t think so…because later on, I’ll do something else to get what I want. If you disagree with me now, it’s just like your delaying things that are supposed to really happen
Henry: (shrug) well, it looks like you’re not giving me any choice to decide at all…
Scarlett: yes, okay, I’ll leave you alone now so you could appreciate this really great thing you’ve done. BYE!
Henry: What have I done? (miserable, bow down head)

Scene 2-lingering to the past

S2-Part1-the beginning
Henry(narrating): I remember it all to well, it seems like it was just yesterday…when I gave that best good luck charm to Damen’s mother that’s why he became very skilled and smart.
Wife of Henry: What is this? A bracelet that would get rid of bad spirits? Or something that would make me very rich? Hahah
Henry: it’s actually some kind of good luck charm. My father liked to collect those before and he actually wasted his whole life with it. Well, it wouldn’t hurt to use them, right? He said this one was his favorite because it was what the reason why he had me, that’s why I wanted to give it to you.
Henry(narrating): And so it did do the job, of all my sons, Damen was the one who truly excelled. When they grew up, he was smart, very talented and always considered the right thing to do…that’s why I really favored him among the others.
S2-Part2-the challenge to achieve the hand of Emily
Henry(narrating): oh yes, he was truly extraordinary…I remember the time when my staff were talking about the daughter of my friend Edmund,( who was the CEO of another big company), Emily. They were discussing how beautiful and talented she was…the type of girl you want to marry… Damen didn’t waste time when he knew that Edmund would give her daughter’s hand to the man who would get that important deal Edmund needed.
Employee1: Yeah, beauty, talent and I say maybe brains and wealth too, how lucky that man would be….
Employee2: You said it, whoever that man would be, and he must be really good to get that deal close and secure!
Employee1: Mm-hmm, they said a lot of men already tried it but no one ever got close! Poor men… tsk…
Damen: Excuse me, but I was listening to your conversation, did you say the man who could close that important deal will be the husband of Edmund’s daughter?
Employee2: Yes sir! You heard it right! Well, we better get back to our work, Good day sir!
D.R.(n): after that short conversation Damen went to his brothers and asked if they could accompany him to the Edmund’s office so he could see what the deal was all about and try to convince the other company to signing it…
Edmund: hmm, you know young lad, there were many other gentlemen that tried to close this deal but all of them failed. What makes you sure that you could get it?
Damen: Well, I’m not actually sure if I could get it but I know I have the skills and right knowledge for it…and besides, it wouldn’t hurt if I try? Right?
Edmund: Very well, here it is. I’ll give you 2 weeks for that. Good luck.
D.R.(n): That son of mine, was very determined to get that deal close. He prepared very well. He even researched for some facts that would help him persuade that company! He read the deal numerous times before the day he faced the CEO of the company. That’s why on that day, it was no doubt, that he would get it. (Damen working)
Company owner: so if I signed this…all of those things you said…we’re going to see that? Won’t we?
Damen: Yes sir! No doubt! Mr. Edmund is a very kind man and has a nice reputation. He wouldn’t just use people for his benefit…I’m sure of that.
Company owner: Well…well, then it’s settled. I’ll sign it. Where is it?
(contract signing…both are very cheerful)
D.R.(n): Edmund, my friend was so happy to see that deal finally signed and close. He didn’t heEmilyte in helping the wedding of Damen and Emily. The funny thing about that was…all of Damen’s brothers actually found someone they like because of that wedding and they all became very happy.

Part 3- the Resentful Decision

Henry: but now…what had I done? (still miserable….) MOVE TO NEXT DAY………..
Damen: You called me father?
Henry: I have something important to tell you… Remember the other day? When I told you that I want you to be successor of this company? I’ve changed my mind… You’re incapable of handling this company… you, lack the talent! Skill! And you still have a lot more to experience!
Damen: Father, why are you acting like this? Why don’t you just tell me what you really want to tell me and I’ll respect your decision. No matter what.
D.R.: hay, very well, Scarlett, I owe her your life, and she’s asking me to choose Edward as the successor of this company, not you….and you should also leave this place…and go somewhere very very far.
Damen: Okay, I’ll do it. When does she want me to go?
D.R.: what? You’re going to go just like that? Aren’t you going to argue that that isn’t fair? Or something?
Damen: No, father, I will not. You’re not the only one who owes her something and I value your word very much….thank you father. I’ll go now and prepare so I could leave as soon as possible (leave the room agad! :P)


Part4-His Exile
Emily: Oh! You’re here already…what did your father say to you? (deadma! :P)
Emily: Did something wrong happen? (Damen kept pacing around) WOULD YOU QUIT PACING AROUND! AND TALK TO ME?
Damen: (stopped and looked at her for a few seconds) I’m leaving. I need to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Emily: WHAT? You must be joking! Why would we leave? Our lives here are fine, you have work and same goes to me… this may not be your ideal life but just beginning so why don’t you just relax and not go jumping to decisions like that.
Damen: (confused/stunned) WE? Oh-no, WE’RE not going anywhere –
Emily: Then that’s great! A second ago I thought –
Damen: – BUT it is I who will be leaving…
Emily: We were…..WHAT? DID I JUST HEAR THAT RIGHT? YOU’RE LEAVING??
Damen: yes, I am and that’s my final decision.
Emily: well, okay. If that’s what you want then ok, I won’t argue anymore.
(Damen stay there for a while, thinking…then Emily goes out of the door) NEXT SCENE!
Emily: (packing) yes, Lance, that’s right. He came back from his father’s office and told me he was leaving….Are you sure you want to come? Because if yes, I can’t thank you enough…Personally, I think your brother is going crazy for deciding to leave us behind and go somewhere else!
Lance: Well, I always knew that even though he was father’s favorite son…he always had that problem with his head…hahaha.. (Damen entered the room unnoticed)
Damen: Emily? Are you going somewhere? Why are you packing?
Emily: Oh! You’re there…well yeah…I am going somewhere…but not alone of course…we’re coming with you.
Damen: haha…wait, wait, wait….you’re joking right? I though you said you weren’t going to argue with me with this one?
Emily: I said I’m not going to argue with you deciding to leave…so now, we, Lance and I, decided to come with you…and our decision is FINAL….
Lance: so bro, if I were you, I’ll get my things soon because I am under the impression that WE need to leave as soon as possible…
Damen: (shrugged and sigh) fine…Fine….you guys win…
(Emily & Lance looked at each other and forced themselves not to laugh)




Part 5 – the ascent and descent
Damen (slapping off phone): I’ve scheduled our leave tomorrow.
Emily: ----wait, isn’t tomorrow the day your father will present Edward to the company? Won’t you come?
Damen: no, I’ve made up my mind, besides, I’m under the impression that Scarlett wants to me to leave already. (Grin)
Emily: well, okay, but does your father know where we’re going? (packing some stuff in her bag.)
Damen: I try not to, I don’t want to prolong the pain...but…
Emily (taking Damen’s hand): He’ll be fine, I know it.
Damen: thanks.
>> the next day…

Henry: … I now present to you the new CEO of this company, my son, Edward.

Edward (shakes hands with the people): yes, thank you, I will try to do my best in continuing this company’s success.

Kaykeyi (standing up and going up front – taking centre stage): I’d like to thank you all very much and I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am extremely proud of my son…
Edward ( taking off to find Damen): I know I’m not the real owner---- (catching sight of Damen)
DAMEN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I’VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU
Damen: congratulations! Wait----- why aren’t you at the presentation?
Bharrat: that’s not important now I don’t want to see you leave just because my mother had been unfair. Everything is unfair. My position is unfair.
Damen: what are you talking about?? You earned it; father taught you everything you need to know. You’re smart, you’re a great leader, and you’re no different from me. Now, I want you to run the company through your efforts and succeed.
Edward: but---
Damen: Thank you, brother.

Part 6: departures
Lance: what time is it? when do we get there?
Damen: I don’t know, we’ll just get there when we get there.
Emily: (phoning the real estate manager of their new house.) – hello, yes, were the ones getting that new house…yup, is it ready now?....good ….okay, we’ll just meet you there. – well, everything’s set!
BACK AT THE COMPANY…
Edward : Hello attorney. I’m glad you came.
Attorney: It’s my pleasure…so today were making a statement that when your brother, Damen, comes back…he’ll have the authority to take his potion as the CEO of this company? Am I right?
Edward: Could have said it better myself… (usap usap sila…tapos parang nagsusulat sa paper…ganun)

At the new house…
Danica: Welcome! Welcome! I hope you had a (got sight of damen)—a…a nnnice trip! (avert eyes to the house) why don’t we come in and I’ll show you guys around?
Lance: SURE! That would be nice... (Sita stays behind for a bit and has a bad feeling on the Danica)
(walk walk walk!)
Damen: it’s a really nice house; you have really nice taste Emily.
Emily: so do you! (sweet! She looks at Danica Then when Danica sees this and she gets angry)
Danica: ahmmm… my job here is done so I hope you have a pleasant stay here…bye…(get out…)
Lance: What’s the Problem with her? (damen, Emily…ewan action..:P laugh)

Part7-The Plan

Danica: ROMAN! I CAN’T TAKE IT! SHE’S JUST….UGH! SHE’S THE HINDRANCE TO MY PLANS TO GETTING DAMEN FOR MYSELF!
Roman: hmmm, so what do you want me to do?
Danica: WHAT DO I WANT YOU TO DO?? YOU’RE ASKING ME WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO?? ISN’T IT OBVIOUS??? I WANT YOU TO GET RID OF EMILY!
Roman: hey, hey! You don’t need to shout at me, I have perfectly good and clean ears you know…and besides…you should have told me what you want in the first place so you wouldn’t be wasting your voice…geez!
Danica: so? You already have a plan??
Roman: Yesterday, Today, tomorrow…whenever, wherever… I always will…try me( smile)
Danica: hmmm, that would be interesting…ok, I’ll leave it all to you now…

BACK AT THE HOUSE OF EDWARD
(Scarlett: Walking around then caught a sight of Edward’s open room; she looked around and saw a piece of paper…)
Scarlett: hmm, what’s this? (reading a part of it) What? No-no-no-no-no! this can’t be true! Edward! EDWARD! EDWARD!
Edward: (came in running) What is it mother?? What is it??
Scarlett: What is this? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS??
Edward: Isn’t obvious, mother? It’s a statement saying that if Damen comes back he has the right to be the CEO of this company.
Scarlett: I KNOW WHAT IT IS! I CAN READ OF COURSE! I’M ASKING WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU MAKE A THING SUCH LIKE THIS????
Edward: Mother, please calm down! We both know that Damen was supposed to be the CEO in the first place not me so I figured that it is just right to let him have it whenever he comes back.
Scarlett: NO! NO! NO! YOU CAN’T DO THAT! YOU WERE CHOSEN! YOUR FATHER ANNOUNCED IT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! YOU CAN’T JUST GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE!
Edward: I’m not giving it just to someone else…I’M GIVING IT BACK TO THE PERSON WHO RIGHTLY DESERVES THAT POSITION! It’s just that simple! Why can’t you understand that mother!
(walk out of the room leaving scarlett on the floor crying)

Part8-The kidnapping
(Emily was out and having a walk when a ball bounce right in front of her)
Damen gets out of the house to catch up with Emily but stops then sees she’s talking with a guy then he thinks that Emily is betraying him by flirting with another guy….Roman: oh! Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to.
Emily: It’s okay.
Roman: I’m roman, I’m the sister of Danica, the girl that showed you around your new house…remember?
Damen now gets really irritated and gets back inside the house throwing the things he was supposed to give Emily.Emily: oh, yah right, I remember her.(not sounding happy at all and wanting to get away from him asap!) okay, I need to go somewhere…nice meeting you roman. (walks a way)
Roman: (follows and grabs Emily’s arm) Wait just a sec! I’ll come with you.
Emily: I can handle myself. Thank you. (she answers coldly. Shakes his hand off her arm)
(too late, he grabbed his handkerchief put it on her mouth then she was unconscious in a few seconds… )
He drags her somewhere then Lance came out of the house and saw a glimpse of Emily. He ran toward it but they were gone…out of sight. Then he went to damen.
Roman: You’ll regret you ever did that to me. Emily.
Emily: Wh-what? How did you know my name? (became unconcious because of the handkerchief placed on her mouth...then been dragged away)

(back at the house)
Lance: (panting) DAMEN! Emily been kidnapped by a guy…his face is unfamiliar to me…
Damen: Maybe unfamiliar to you but not to Emily. I saw her flirting with that same guy…
Lance: WHAT? NO WAY! Emily’s not that type of girl…and besides… SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS and BEING DRAGGED!
Damen: Save your breath lance…it won’t change a thing…she’s with him now…that’s her decision then fine…it’s not your life she’s playing with its hers. (stands up and gets out…)

(OUtside)
(Damen sits on the side of a street his face in his hands –he doesn’t know that lance was watching him-- then danica comes)
Danica: could I join you? (damen doesn’t reply, he remained frozen like that she sat beside him)
Danica: you know, the moment I saw that Emily girl I knew that there was something with her…and I was right…she has a husband and flirts with other guys…UNBELIEVABLE! (Damen was startled to hear these and looked up)
Damen: how did you that? I only remember telling my brother about that…and it was just a few minutes ago..
Danica: ahmm, I-I heard a bit of your conversation while I was passing by..and I had a feeling that you’ll be needing somebody to comfort you so I hanged around the corner…and here I am
Damen: oh… (feeling that something is wrong but don’t know what it is)maybe you should get back it’s getting dark now…
(stands up..then gets back inside…When Damen was out of sight…Lance seized Danica’s arm)
Lance: I KNOW YOU’RE KEEPING SOMETHING! WOULD YOU QUIT IT OUT AND TELL WHERE EMILY IS??
Danica: accusations… better be careful with those words…it won’t do any good
Lance: Stop fooling around…I know you know where she is…
Danica: and how sure are you?
Lance: Well, around 99.9% sure… (danica shocked) if I was in your position I would also tell damen, my BROTHER, about it.
Danica: Hhh-ho-how?
Lance: I was asking around. What? Did you really think I liked you from the beginning? NA-AH! So are you going to tell me already?? Now that you’re all busted?
Danica: he-he-he took her….i don’t know where they are now… but he told me he was heading straight to that dark place…(ahuhuhu)
Lance: a dark place? (damen stepping out of his hiding place answered)
Damen: come on Lance let’s go get Emily back….i know where that is… (RUN!)
Danica: WAITTTTTTTTTTT!

Elizabeth: (caught sight of her daughter screamed) Emily! you okay…don’t worry mommy’s here…I’m going to take care of you…
Damen: don’t worry ma’am the doctor said her injury was just a minor one and she would be alright in a couple of days...
Elizabeth: YOU! YOU’RE THE REASON WHY MY DAUGHTER’S HERE! IN FACT, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I KNEW THA YOU WERE BAD FOR HER!
Damen: I’m sorry ma’am for what had happened…but it was all an accident….
Elizabeth: You call that an accident? Your brother told me everything! You doubted her! Do you think she could ever do that? And she even saved your life!
Damen: I know all of that. I’ve made a mistake, and I regret ever single bit of them.
Elizabeth: Regret? Do you think everything would be back to normal if you regret the things you done? NO! you know? I have a great suggestion for you….WHY DON’T YOU LEAVE AND NEVER BOTHER US AGAIN…
