Fortune Teller
EXT: OUTSIDE BLOCK OF FLATS
Karen is standing by the intercom of the flats, pressing the buzzer. A croaky voice answers “Enter”. TZZZZZT
INT: FLAT
Karen walks up 2 fights of stairs and in through the fortune tellers door that has been left open.
INT: FORTUNE TELLERS FLAT
Karen walks through a door way of beads. The fortune teller is sitting at a table with a crystal ball, the room is very dark. There is a squirrel in a cage in the corner, a blind dog sitting next to the Fortune Teller and a monkey sitting on an arm chair.
Teller: Come in Karen and give my colleague the payment.
The monkey walks up to Karen and put its hand out, Karen passed it the money, and then the monkey walks back to his chair and sits down. Karen then sits down at the table.
Karen: I…
The Teller interrupts.
Teller: Do not speak my lady … all will be revealed.
The Teller begins waving her hands around the crystal ball then stands up and starts dancing around the table.
While this is happening the monkey is acting completely insane jumping up and down screaming. After a small while the teller runs out of the room screaming then walks back in like nothing has happened and sits down. Karen sits still (very scared)
Teller: (Shouts) The GODS have spoken and the future has arrived.
Teller: (Stares at Karen) the monkey from the south brings good fortune but only if the dog from the west is caught, when it attempts treachery. But my lady, don’t forget that although the monkey will bring good fortune it brings a choice.
This choice can be easier by the owl or the lion but this will present another choice.
The owl will bring you what you desire but the lion will give you what you need. A child will be born when the dog arrives.
(Teller stands up and points to the door Shouting) NOW LEAVE, LEAVE MY CHILD.
Karen runs out of the flat absolutely petrified and very confused
The Teller turns to the monkey
Teller: She’ll keep the baby from her brother in-law, silly woman.
The monkey slaps himself in the face.
