Haven't posted for a while (essay-related reasons), but here's a shortish sketch to rip apart...
*
SCENE 1.
EXT. SUBURBAN STREET. DAY.
A MAN WEARING A BROWN MACKINTOSH AND TRILBY HAT LEAVES HIS HOUSE AND CLIMBS INTO AN ICECREAM VAN. HE STARTS THE ENGINE AND DRIVES AWAY DOWN THE STREET.
CUT TO:
SCENE 2.
EXT. SHOP-LINED STREET. DAY.
THE VAN EMERGES FROM A SMALL LANE AND VEERS INTO A BUSY STREET, HEADING AWAY FROM THE CAMERA. ROOF-MOUNTED SPEAKERS BLAST OUT TYPICAL ICECREAM VAN MUSIC. THE MAN LEANS OUT OF THE DRIVER’S DOOR (HIS BACK TO THE CAMERA), HOLDING HIS MACK WIDE OPEN AND DISPLAYING ITS CONTENTS TO PASSERS-BY. HE SHOUTS THROUGH A LOUDHAILER.
MAN (Through loudhailer, to pedestrians):
Paedo! Paedo! Do you want it? Paeeedooo! (Singles out a small girl) I know you want it! Eh? Paedo! Oooh yes!
THE VAN ROUNDS A CORNER AND PASSES OUT OF SHOT.
FADE TO:
SCENE 3.
EXT. PLAYGROUND. DAY.
CHILDREN ARE MUCKING ABOUT ON PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. AN ICECREAM VAN JINGLE IS HEARD, AND THE EXCITED CHILDREN RUN TOWARDS THE APPROACHING VEHICLE. IT PARKS UP ON THE ROADSIDE, THE MAN LEAPS FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT AND PROCEEDS TO CHARGE ACROSS THE PARK WITH HIS MACK WIDE OPEN.
MAN (Bellowing; running at the children):
Paeeedooo! Paeeedooo!
THE CHILDREN SCREAM AND SCATTER; THE MAN HALTS BEFORE THE CAMERA. WE NOW SEE THE MANY POCKETS OF THE MACK ARE FILLED WITH PLASTIC-WRAPPED, GREENISH LUMPS. THE MAN REMOVES A GREEN LUMP FROM ONE POCKET AND HOLDS IT UP.
MAN (To camera):
Pea Dough. You can make dough from peas, but can’t sell it with ease.
A LOGO DISPLAYING PEAS, A MORTAR AND PESTLE, AND A LOAF OF MUSHY GREEN BREAD APPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
SING-SONG VOICEOVER:
You-know-you-want-it; Pea Dough!
FIN.
