Duel Quickie

EXT. WILD WEST TOWN.

FX ATMOSPHERIC SPAGHETTI WESTERN MUSIC (THINK SERGIO LEONE FILMS).

EXTREME CLOSE UP OF MAN'S EYES WHICH SHIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

MAN:
Ten paces then you turn round and draw. Don't even think about turning early or I'll shoot you myself.

CLOSE UP OF MAN'S FACE AS HE RAISES A TIMEPIECE.

FX TICKING.

MAN:
Draw!

VERY QUICK PULL BACK TO REVEAL TWO SUICIDE BOMBERS, THEY TURN ROUND AND PRESS DETONATORS. THERE ARE TWO EXPLOSIONS.

CUT TO MAN WHO HAS A BLOOD SOAKED BEARD SLIDING DOWN HIS FACE:
Tough one to call that.

I like the end line plus the "yuk" factor. Maybe he should grab the beard and go "look at me, I'm WC Grace!" But you'd never get that on air. Like it though.

That makes no sense but somehow still raised a smile.

That was neat.

I agree I liked much!
