Speak!

I am not planning to have very much speech in my OTS, as im trying to make it as mysterious and eery as possible. Im trying not to give anything away to quickly. I want questions to be left unanswered - so the speech that is present is very'open'. By this i mean that what the man is saying could be about anything. It is up to the audience to guess what they think is going on. The only dialogue will come from the man (who is future victim) while he is on the phone in the phone box and also while he is being followed by the killer. I have planned what the dialogue will be:

"I've got it"
"I've got the money"
"You'll see it soon"
"10 minutes"

The audience will probably assume this conversation with an unknown person is about the money the man won in the poker game. In the OTS the audience will not find out who the person on the other end of the phone is but they will know that the man is the one that dialled the phone. They also will know that the man was cheating during the poker game with an extra playing card hidden in his cuff. This is dirty money which has been unfairly won. He rang somebody else to inform them that he has won the money. From this short conversation, it can looks as if the man has a dirty deal going on. It makes us wonder what the man gets in return for giving this money away to this unknown mysterious person on the other end of the phone.

The audience knows that the man is a cheat and probably not a very nice person. They may also think that the two women that he was playing against in the poker game werent very nice either - due to their snooty, mysterious and unexpected ways. Maybe the audience will like that the man has been killed? Nobody likes a cheat.
