Adam and Eve quickie

EXT. DAY - GARDEN OF EDEN. Adam is in forward profile wearing just a fig leaf stood by a tree. GOD walks into shot with a naked blonde haired (long) female who we only see from the back. Adam smiles awkwardly as God nods towards her and gestures with his arms and hips in a shagging motion. CUT TO

God sat in front of the tree eating an apple with a green snake in his other hand. Behind the tree long blonde hair can just be seen shaking about on the ground whilst grunting and erotic moaning can be heard.

CUT TO

Snake (shaking his head):
You can be a right bastard some times God.

The camera pans round the tree to reveal the blonde lying on the ground to be Peter Stringfellow smiling like the Cheshire Cat.

It's a horrifying but interesting concept in this one. But I think maybe it needs more elaboration, plus the scene directions I found a bit hard to follow. God is essentially playing a big practical joke on Adam, so there's no reason why you couldn't witness this in the scene. I can't really imagine what God holding a big green snake would be like, but it's interesting image to conceive so maybe it could be key to the sketch.

Sorry about the poor direction - knocked out in 5 minutes after an image of Peter Stringfellow came into my head (god knows why).
