Caught in the Act

INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

[Viewed through a webcam]

The computer monitor glares in Adam's face, as he intensely stares back at it.

Suddenly Jenny pops her head in, and out of curiosity, bothers Adam to see what he's looking at on the computer.

Adam quickly hides the open web page.

JENNY
Wotcha looking at?

ADAM
Nothing.

JENNY
Come on, show me.

ADAM
You won't be interested.

JENNY
Show me, I wanna see.

Begrudgingly Adam clicks the mouse button, intrigued, Jenny watches on.

She begins to react anxiously to watch she's watching.

JENNY
Oh, what's that?
[Beat]
Oh my god.
[beat]
What the hell are they doing?
[beat]
This is messed up.
[beat]
Oh god, why can't I stop watching?

She stands up and now uses her whole body to express her disgust.

JENNY
Oh, you sick freak.

ADAM
Oh, come on.

JENNY
Why are you watching that?!
[beat]
Oh, I can't take it anymore.

She falls to her feet and acts as if she's drowning in disgust.

JENNY
Oh, god.

Adam shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

[cut to behind Adam & Jenny]

He goes back to watching Show Jumping horses on the computer.

ADAM
[Reassuring himself]
It's not THAT weird.

Jenny gargles slow groans of death on the floor.

END

Though, to be honest, that's one of about 100 ways you could have finished that sketch off.

Running gag, maybe?

I did think about it. Cheers

What does falling to your feet mean?

It's either an expression I just made up, or it means collapsing to the ground.

It's the opposite of 'getting to your knees'

I literally fell to my feet laughing. Definite potential as a runner.

Maybe I've just got a dirty mind, but could it benefit from some horse noise FX?

Yes, it's very good, Leevil. And a runner; but you'd need to change the direction each time, rather than end on a different website to avoid it becoming a (God-forbid) Little Britain style runner.

Echo Kevin, some animal grunting and panting would help build it up.

Echo dave re: some of the direction - drowning in disgust confused me.

Cheers Kevin and SlagA.

Don't worry, I wouldn't even think about doing a straight running gag like that.

I tried something new for the direction, lesson learned

I think the punchline would improve ten fold with Kevin's dirty mind. Plenty of horse sound fx then cut to showjumping.

The punchline could really have been anything odd/not sexual but with the horse fx your half expecting something sexually offensive involving horses.

Nice one Leevil.
