We all know how this works by now.
I think it's a good area but not sure if I'm coming at it the right way.
INT. 17TH CENTURY ARTIST'S STUDIO. TWO FINE ARTISTS (ARTIST 1 & ARTIST 2)
ARE BUSILY PAINTING AT THEIR EASELS.
ARTIST 2 GETS UP AND LOOKS OVER ARTIST 1'S SHOULDER AT HIS PAINTING.
ARTIST 1 PROTECTIVELY PUTS HIS ARM OVER THE CANVAS LIKE A SCHOOL CHILD.
ARTIST 1;
Hey! No copying.
ARTIST 2:
I'm not not copying. Anyway portraits was my idea. I thought of it first.
ARTIST 1:
Tut. Yeah right.
ARTIST 2 TRIES USING SOME OF HIS PENS. NONE OF THEM WORK.
ARTIST 1:
That's what happens when you don't put the lids back on.
ARTIST 2 RIFLES THROUGH HIS PENCIL CASE
ARTIST 2:
Can I borrow your highlighters?
ARTIST 1:
You've got you own!
ARTIST 2:
I've only got pink and orange.
ARTIST 1:
Go on then but put the lid on the other end so you don't forget, ok?
ARTIST 2 STARTS USING THE HIGHLIGHTER MARKERS.
SFX: SQUEAKING
ARTIST 1: (CONT)
Don't push the nib up.
ARTIST 2:
I wasn't pressing hard.
ARTIST 1:
Of course not, all pens have a mouse in them. Have you still got my black?
ARTIST 2:
No I gave it back ages ago.
ARTIST 1 FINDS THE PEN. IT HAS NO LID
ARTIST 1:
Argh.
ARTIST 2:
Sorry.
ARTIST 1:
Yeah. Brilliant.
ARTIST 2:
You can use this if you want.
HE HANDS HIM A PEN.
ARTIST 1:
It's a Biro.
ARTIST 2:
Yeah but look, there's a picture of a maiden on the side and when you turn it upside down.
TURNS PEN UPSIDE DOWN.
ARTIST 2:
See?
ARTIST 1:
Wow, You can see her Smock!
ARTIST 2:
My brother's got one where you it goes all the way.
ARTIST 1:
Really?
ARTIST 2:
Yeah you actually get to see her corset.
END.
