New Short Script
2007-Jun-20 by Laughcalvin
Just finished a draft of the next short film LaughCalvin wants to make tentatively titled "My Attorney Bernie." Below is the first part of it. It will be up on the Laughcalvin site soon in its entirety. Feel free to fire away at it in the comments section.
INT. GROCERY STORE- DAY
A few shoppers mill about. BERNIE, MID-30’S, looks intently at items on a shelf. He wears a cheap blue vest that has a tag with MYSTEREY(SIC) SHOPPER printed on it.
A VERY TALL WOMAN, turns her shopping cart down Bernie’s aisle. He glances at her and quickly pulls out a small video camera.
He moves items, some which drop to the floor, to arrange it on the shelf just so. He aims it at the Very Tall Woman.
He looks through the view finder to make sure she is in the shot.
VIDEO CAM VIEWFINDER SHOT of Very Tall Woman. More items are knocked to the floor.
Breathing faster, Bernie begins pacing back and forth and then, trying to play it cool, freezes and reads the labels of FEMININE NAPKINS.
He glances over at The Very Tall Woman again. He glances at the hidden video cam. He goes over and stops inches from her.
She looks at him but he studies the labels of the same toothpaste.
He suddenly wheels around and goes back to the feminine napkins section.
Then, as if suddenly remembering an item he must not forget, he heads over to The Very Tall Woman again and bumps into her.
She is startled and almost falls but Bernie grabs her to catch her fall and grope her simultaneously.
An odd DANCE hangs perfectly balanced for a moment.
