A long silent one

A TANK RUMBLES DOWN AN APOCALYPTIC INNER CITY STREET. THE STREET IS FULL OF RUBBLE, SMOKE AND FLAMES.

A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN (SUSAN) APPEARS FROM THE SHADOWS, SHE HAS A HENRY HOOVER ATTACHED TO HER BACK.

SUSAN STANDS DEFIANTLY IN FRONT OF THE TANK, SHE PULLS OUT A PIECE OF PAPER AND SHOWS IT TO THE TANK.

CLOSE UP: THE PAPER IS A REPORT CARD WITH A D- IN RED.

THE TANK JUDDERS TO A HALT. THE TOP DOOR CREAKS OPENS, A TEENAGE BOY (TOMMY) APPEARS.

TOMMY JUMPS DOWN, LIES IN THE ROAD AND STARTS THROWING A TANTRUM.

SUSAN SEES HER CHANCE, AND JUMPS IN THE TANK.

CUT TO:

SUSAN IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, SHE PUTS ON A HELMET AND GRABS THE CONTROL, IT'S A PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER. SUSAN IS CONFUSED, BUT CLOSES HER EYES, CROSSES HERSELF AND BREATHES OUT SLOWLY.

SHE THEN STICKS OUT HER TONGUE AND STARTS PRESSING EVERY BUTTON.

I think I get it, but could be a little clearer.

You lost me at report card :D - fill us in Ange!

...and I was expecting a fart joke :P

Sorry to disappoint about the fart jokes, I'll see what I can do for next time.

As for the sketch, it made perfect sense to me at the time, but I had drunk a couple of glasses of wine ;)
