My best idea--asking you guys. I am really impressed with the wit and cleverness and appropriate amount of dementedness coming from all directions here. And, by all means keep on with it. Any and all ideas accepted and appreciated.

This would be a pretty good story all on its own--a group of football fans who hardly know each other write devastatingly funny script. It takes a village to raise a good greed and murder tale.

I think we could have a big winner on our hands. Nothing like this has ever been done before.

Also, every character should be named after one of us.

You could even end it when the 1 person left finally thinks they have it all to themselves and some stranger shows up and kills them and takes it hahahahaha


Also where you build a guy/girl up to be one thing and they completely blow it or shit happens   Like this the Hero he's a badass  then he dies quickly.





Like this one of my favorite parts of a movie ever lol...

The bolded part is absolutely brilliant.  You have written the ending.  And then to add one more final twist, the stranger, who will be the last person standing, doesn't even know about the money and no one ends up with it.

The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of the whole town wiped out.   That would be absolutely unprecedented.

Regarding how many deaths before it isn't funny: Everyone dies. Everyone.

When it comes down to the last two characters; one is killed and the other mortally wounded. The wounded character chains the case to their wrist, hops in a car and starts driving until the see the lights of a diner in the distance, pulls into the parking lot, struggles to a booth, inside the diner you got the same basic collection of characters in another BFE town as in the opening scene, before long they realize the stranger with the case is dead and someone asks, "I wonder what's in the case?"

Fade to black.

He ran the Boys Club.  Boys, from, oh, five to say, fifteen.  He taught you knot tying, canoeing, bow and arrow, such things.  Had meetings on Saturday afternoon, had a place above the volunteer firehouse.  You get the picture.

You would see him leading his gang of boys around town on their way to one thing or another, all wearing Boys Club  sweatshirts.

So, for our story, we make these kids a roving death squad killing people with bows and arrows, knives and perfectly knotted ropes.

You know, a really great idea is one that not only is great on its own but inspires other ideas.  That's what your great ideas did for me.

The diner cook gets shoved into the hole and buried alive.  Now the diner has no cook.

The owner--her name is Malibu but everyone calls her Mal--takes over the cooking.  And she sucks.  As all this is going on, she is losing business.  She couldn't care less, the found money and all.

The complaining gets out of control.  She decides to have a going out of business sale.  All you can eat for a dollar.  

BTW, I'm setting the population at 500.  Feels like the right number.  There is a sign on the road into town, which, incidentally is named Philadelphia, New York, population 500.  After each death, the number goes down, sometimes one at a time, sometimes a dozen, etc.  Running gag.

So, seemingly half the town pigs out on the dollar pig out, stuffing themselves on poisoned food.  If anybody knows what poison would be best, tasteless, but acting slowly enough that people make it partway home, dropping dead on the sidewalks and lawns and porches all over town.
