MOTHER

CUT TO
EXT. DAY
IT IS GENTLY SNOWING AND HAS SETTLED ON THE ROAD
MARK AND HIS MOTHER ARE JOINING A QUEUE FOR THE BUS.
THE QUEUE CONSISTS OF SIX PEOPLE
ALL ARE SLIGHTLY LOOKING DOWN AS THE SNOW FLAKES BLOW AGAINST THEM
NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGES ANYONE ELSE.
O.S A YELP IS HEARD
ALL THE FACES IN THE QUEUE MOVE SLOWLY AS ONE
TO LOOK AT WHERE THE SOUND CAME FROM.
WE SLOWLY PAN ACROSS THE FACES
FIRST IS AN OLD LADY HER EYES ARE WIDE IN SUPRISE
NEXT A TEENAGE BOY, HE IS SMILING
A TEENAGE GIRL, SHE IS BLUSHING
A YOUNG MAN, HE IS STIFLING A LAUGH
A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN, SHE HAS A LOOK OF HORROR
ANOTHER MIDDLE AGED WOMAN, SHE LOOKS AWAY IN DISGUST
MOTHER, SHE LOOKS AT MARK TO SEE HIS REACTION
MARK, HE IS LOOKING PUZZLED.
CUT TO
OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD
TWO DOGS ARE MATING FURIOUSLY IN THE SNOW
IT IS HAMMER AND TONG STUFF
CUT BACK TO
THE BUS QUEUE
ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXPRESSIONS AS BEFORE
MARK (LOUDLY)
Mummy, those dogs are doing what daddy does arn't they mummy.
ALL THE FACES IN THE QUEUE MOVE SLOWLY AS ONE
TO LOOK AT MARK AND MOTHER.
