Ending the story

Even though we were supposed to make three episodes of Lines, I felt the story was left unsolved so I decided to write a final part to the story.

The Last Line

INT. – THE DETENTION ROOM – EVENING

JAKE, ZEKE, TAYLOR and MEGAN are sitting around a table, visibly bored. SETH is pacing up and down the room.

SETH (murmuring)
I can’t be trapped. I can’t.

JAKE
You’re all missing the obvious here.

They all turn to face him.

JAKE (continued)
The door may be locked, but we have a window. Windows smash.

MEGAN
So can doors.

JAKE
Yes. But unfortunately, we do not have a bulldozer, so that’s out of the question.

ZEKE
I’m not smashing a window.

SETH
I bet you would if your mate asked you to.

ZEKE
Hey. That’s out of order. Taylor’s a troublemaker. He can do it.

TAYLOR (sighing)
Up yours.

MEGAN gets to her feet. She lifts up a chair. Fade to black. The window can be heard shattering.

SETH (shocked)
Whoa, Megan! Why would you do that?!

MEGAN
I only did what guys wanted to.

JAKE
Hey, guys. I found a key.

The third episode of Lines ended with all the characters being locked in the detention room. This ending explains how they all managed to get out of the detention room. I felt this was the perfect solution of how to end the story.
