The Naysayers

EXT. DAY. UNKNOWN LOCATION.

CLOSE UP OF TWO MEN'S FACES.

NAYSAYER 1:
Master naysayer, would you look at that strumpet.

NAYSAYER 2:
Nay prospect, we don't look at strumpets, or rather, we don't ogle strumpets.

NAYSAYER 1:
This tavern, master naysayer, should we enter to imbibe ale?

NAYSAYER 2:
Nay, and another nay. Naysayers abstain from pleasures which could lead to fornication.

NAYSAYER 1:
This naysaying isn't much cop.

NAYSAYER 2:
Silence prospect, or I'll banish you to a dungeon.

NAYSAYER 1:
Dungeon? You're full of it, I'll stick your lute up your arse.

NAYSAYER 2: (shouting)
High treason! High treason! The prospect is launching a rebellion. Where's my pike?

PULL BACK TO REVEAL THEY ARE TWO ANGLERS SITTING AT A RIVER BED.

NAYSAYER 1:
There's no pike on this river you daft c**t.

NAYSAYER 2:
We've five hours to kill. Fancy a game of eye spy?

Anything called The Naysayers has to be good doesn't it. Hee Hee! Maybe you could somehow incorporate the format of that famous cITV prog Knightmare and have your characters battling drunken elves blindfolded while running from, dare I mention, the mighty energy sucking wall monsters, ooooooH!

I do love the title. It's a very funny word.
