This is a little idea I've been chucking round the old noggin for a while now. I plan to make them into animated shorts for the internet. What I think makes them special is that I don't plan anything when I write it (You'll probably be able to tell), it's improv script writing. They make me chuckle a lot. I would love to get some opinion on this and find out whether or not it has any legs.
Cheers
INT. UNDER THE TABLE - DAY
man1 and man2 (both wearing dinner suits)are sat crossed legged opposite each other under a table.
MAN1
Hey what is that you've got there?
MAN2
This, its a time machine
MAN1
Really? It looks like an old shoe to me
MAN2
And I suppose you know what time machines look like?
MAN1
Well, no, but why would you make them look like footwear?
MAN2
Why not
MAN1
You could put it on by mistake. Every step would take you back a decade
MAN2
At least you'd never be late
MAN1
Yeah but you'd be quite a bit early as well
MAN2
True, but its your own daft fault for putting a time machine on in the first place
MAN1
Let's forget all this quabbling and have some sandwiches
MAN2
I concur sir, what fillings do you have?
MAN1
Only marmite I'm afraid
MAN2
Bugger. I fall into the 50% that hate it
MAN1
You don't have to have marmite
MAN2
What else is there?
MAN1
You could just have extra butter
MAN2
Good idea. What are you having on yours?
MAN1
Lemon
MAN2
A lemon sandwich?
MAN1
Yes. You sound surprised?
MAN2
Sorry, I do that without noticing sometimes
MAN1
I'm afraid I can't let you off the hook for that one so easily
MAN2
I understand
MAN1
Do you mind if I start to eat my sandwich here?
MAN2
I'd rather you didn't
MAN1
You make a fair point
MAN2
Do you want something to drink?
MAN1
Yes please. What do you think will compliment my lemon sandwich?
MAN2
Lemon squash
MAN1
Gahh it was so obvious. I owe you a beer my good man
MAN2
Thanks for reminding me
MAN1
You're welcome. Are you going to have some lemon squash with your butter butty?
MAN2
Nah I'm going to have a glass of lurpack on the rocks
MAN1
Slightly salted?
MAN2
Of course. Is there any other way to have it?
MAN1
Many. You could have it heavily salted for example
