A DRUNKEN THUG STAGGERS ALONG A CITY STREET ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON
HE MEETS A SMARTLY-DRESSED YOUNG MAN AND PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE.
THUG:
Wanker!
HE STAGGERS ON UNTIL HE MEETS AN ATTRACTIVE GIRL, WHOM HE PUNCHES IN THE FACE
THUG:
Slag!
STAGGERING ONWARD, EVER ONWARD, HE MEETS A SCHOOLBOY IN UNIFORM WHOM, YOU GUESSED IT, HE PUNCHES IN THE FACE
THUG:
C**t!
HE BEGINS TO MOVE AWAY BUT RETURNS AND KICKS THE BOY AS HE LIES ON THE PAVEMENT
THUG:
And that’s in case you can play the piano or something.
Think there’s far too much descriptive material here.
No need to emphasis SUNNY AFTERNOON.
Young man doesn’t need to be SMARTLY-DRESSED
Girl doesn’t need to be ATTRACTIVE.
How about removing all of the descriptive padding?
this leaves you :-
THUG:
Wanker!
THUG:
Slag!
THUG:
C**t!
THUG:
And that’s in case you can play the piano or something.
Unfortunately you’re now left with 75% of a “Two Pints of Lager” script and you’ll be sued for plagiarism.
You know it makes sense, can I claim my £5?
