INT.HOME:BATHROOM.DAY

JANET IS BEING SICK INTO THE TOILET AND JOHN IS HELPING HER

JOHN:
Jane, are you okay?

JANE:
I think its morning sickness. JOHN I think I am pregnant!

A FEW MINUTES LATER..

JOHN IS BEING SICK INTO THE TOILET AND JANET IS HELPING HIM

Good but more of a sitcom extract.

You trying to beat me for productivity?

How about:

INT.HOME:BATHROOM.MORNING

JANET IS BEING SICK INTO THE TOILET AND JOHN IS COMFORTING HER

JOHN:
Janet, what did you eat when you were out last night?

JANE:
John, It's not that. I think I am pregnant!

A FEW MOMENTS LATER..

JOHN IS BEING SICK INTO THE TOILET AND JANET IS COMFORTING HIM.

Nice visual.

Just for goodness sake don't get sootyj riled else there'll be no room for anyone else's posts!

thanks guys

Garyd seems to have nailed it, but it was good to begin with.

Garyd for the win!

INT.OFFICE.DAY

BEAUMALOW NODS AT HIS COMPUTER IN AGGREMENT

I like the visual ideas you use - can really imagine the stuff working.

garyd's rewrite smoothed out the edges, but the core is Laughing out loud

The added line where he asks what she ate makes it clearer

Yeah it does.

Putting the scenerio from my head to script form can be tricky

Good one.

I find that too - it's the little details that make the core idea make sense. So far I've been pretty lousy at that. But still, as long as the idea's good, it can be made to work!

Had Janet and John books when I learnt to read. I don't remember this bit ;)
