Hey everyone,
Thanks as always to everyone who've watched my earlier contributions!

So is long division and I can't remember anyone ever screaming over that like a girl!

FRANK
I don't know, you did sound like a girl!
STEVE
No I mean...
ANGLE ON FRANK.
FRANK
(Picks up beat) I know what you meant, I'm just saying for a minute there, in the darkness, it was almost like I was sat next to a big, green screaming girl, that's all!
ANGLE ON FRANK AND STEVE.
STEVE
I didn't scream like a girl!
LIGHTING STRIKES.
