Angelica, the Movie, Introduction

With the help of a friend, I came up with the beginning of a screenplay I'd like us to write. Here is the Introduction:

TITLE: ANGELICA

EXT. CLOUDLESS DAY IN LOS ANGELES - DAY
(Cydonia, by Muse begins to play.)

CAMERA PANS down, slowly to a parked car in a driveway, passenger side looking in.

INT. CAR - DAY

A five year old girl is listening to her mother, who has just started the car.

MOTHER

I forgot something ANGELICA. I'll be right back. Hang on, okay?

MOTHER exits car. ANGELICA looks at the steering wheel. She unhooks her seatbelt and moves over to the Driver's side. She puts the car in Reverse and hits the gas pedal.

EXT. DRIVEWAY - DAY

From perspective of the hood we see a delighted ANGELICA enjoy the ride as the car screams down the driveway, missing a mailman by a foot. The car crosses the street, jumping a curb and CRASHES into the front of the house opposite ANGELICA's house.

EXT. CAR - DAY

Rather than look scared, ANGELICA is happy looking. Neighbor's begin to mull around and the camera closes in on ANGELICA's face and devilish smile and

Black screen, song ends, TITLE CARD reads, "10 YEARS LATER"

EXT. DRIVEWAY, HALLOWEEN - NIGHT

The same scene end on 5 year old ANGELICA is now focusing on 15 year old ANGELICA, devilish smile and all. She is dressed in a cute Devil's outfit, complete with red horns in black hair.

ANGELICA
(to STACEY, sister and passenger)

Let's go.

STACEY
(Buckling in)
How did you get the key?

ANGELICA

I made a copy, whatever, let's go. Mom think's we're Trick or Treating.

STACEY

Won't she miss the car?

ANGELICA puts the car in neutral, it glides silently down the driveway, once in the street the car starts, and she drives away. CAMERA PANS up to see back of the car driving away.

ANGELICA
(Voice only)

Probably.
