INT
CLOSE UP OF TWO ARMY CAREERS OFFICERS STANDING UP TALKING TO THE CAMERA.

ACO 1
You get to travel the world. Focusing mostly in the hot sunny & very sandy Middle East. Imagine the sandcastles you could build.

ACO 2
You get to go on all sorts of courses. We get you your driving test & everything. Then you can drive big tanks. (Clutches his hands to an imaginary steering wheel, & runs around the room, blowing raspberries through broooom brooooom noises).

ACO 1
You get to have your very own gun. (Makes a gun shape with his fingers and starts acting like he is shooting enemy) Pow Pow Pow

ACO 2
Yep & sometimes, depending on what regiment you want to go in, well that we want you to go in, you get a sword. (Starts to flick his arm about like a fencer) Whooosh whoooosh.

ACO 1
Yea, so are you up for it?

THE ARMY CARREARS OFFICERS LEAN IN TOWARDS THE CAMERA.

CAMERA PANS OUT TO REVEAL A BABY FEEDING FROM HIS MOTHERS BREAST.

ACO 2
(To ACO 1) I think that (Makes a sucking noise) was a yes don’t you.

ACO !
Yes I believe it was. I am glad they banned us attending schools. This is soooooo much easier.

Oooh this is very nice.

Laughing out loud

Yea, I like that. :D

Thanks guy's. To be honest I thought it would get mullered lol.

I think this would work better if you left all the blowing raspberries stuff out and have the ACO give the info straight. Baby talk just gives away the punch.

Also, on a technical note, if you're going to use camera directions (and if you can you'd be better off avoiding them) you should know that a 'pan' is a side to side motion. What you're referring to is a 'pull'.

Come on David, I'm sure Charley knows how to pull.

...and as we know, there are more than one connotation to that line.

Such a sordid website - I'm glad it's closing! ;)

Yeah, sorry, I was so intent on making the cheap gag, I forgot to say it's a very good sketch.
