Dropping a clanger in 2009

EXT: roadwork area

Two builders taking a tea break. BUILDER 1 looks off screen and laughs.

BUILDER 1
He dropped a clanger.

Camera pans to what BUILDER 1 is looking at. A well-dressed MAN is trying to pick up a clanger from the ground, but the clanger is resisting help.

MAN
Look I'm sorry I just lost my grip. Let me help you - oh don't be like that, you're heavier than you used to be you know!

I thought it was a little bit predictable in that the man actually dropped a clanger but I did like fact you had him talking to the Clanger, that made me chuckle :-)

Nice idea and neatly done, but I think it would work as a runner.

Clanger is kicked out of a rock band.

Dumped by girlfriend.

Punched where Clangers would have testicles.
