The Horn

INT. DAY. HOME.

SFX PHONE RINGING.

WOMAN: Hello.

SFX CAR HORN ON OTHER END OF LINE.

WOMAN: Hello, who is this?

SFX CAR HORN.

WOMAN: Piss off.

WOMAN SLAMS PHONE DOWN.

MAN: Who was that?

WOMAN: It was a car horn, someones playing silly buggers.

MAN: It might have been a Tourette's sufferer. Rather than subject you to a foul mouth torrent of abuse, they decided to bleep out their swearing.

WOMAN: Like they do on telly?

MAN: Pretty much.

WOMAN: How would I know what they wanted to say?

MAN: I'll press 1471 and ring them.

MAN: Its ringing.

VOICE: Hello.

MAN: Hello, you rang my phone number there, you were speaking to my wife.

VOICE: Erm, what can I do for you?

MAN: She had difficulty understanding you, she mentioned something about car horns?

VOICE: Oh yes, yes. He's just away on his tea break. Can I get him to ring you back?

Heh heheh! Orgasmically surreal.

I actually liked this one. I'm not a fan of a lot of the stuff I read on here (I mean no disrespect by this remark) but this one was subtle, well written and had that unique quality of drawing you in.

In my well paid opinion, I'd say the ending could be sharper but the rest was top notch and I like the way your mind works. You chose interesting, humorous concepts ahead of cheap gags.

Agreed. In what sense "well-paid", Nolan? (assuming that question isn't too intrusive).

Heh. Not bad. Very odd.

Thanks
