Confessional Quickie

INT. CHURCH. CONFESSIONAL.

CAMERA FOCUS ON PRIEST'S SIDE OF THE CONFESSIONAL.

PRIEST:
Good day to you.

PRIEST:
I said good day... (PRIEST MUTTERS UNDER HIS BREATH) Christ I hope it's not another one with stage fright, bloody confessional virgins.

PRIEST:
Well, come on...spill, has the cat got your tongue or something?

VOICE:
He says he's committed a catalogue of sins, where do you want to start?

PRIEST:
He! What's this he?

PRIEST BOUNDS OUT OF CONFESSIONAL TO SEE TWO MEN CRAMMED IN TO THE OTHER SIDE. ONE IS A DEAF/MUTE AND IS USING SIGN LANGUAGE TO HIS INTERPRETER.

Very good!

Very Peter Cook (and that can't be bad thing)

Thanks

I love the crammed into the confession box image. Yeah this is very good Mr. Kelly.

Definite runner potential there Nigel, like it.

I'd like to suggest an alternative if I may. Perhaps it's obvious there are 2 of them, making so much noise getting into the box, lots of shuffling and grunting. Priest is angry, thinks they're getting it on, then pulls back to reveal the interpretor and deaf guy? Just an idea.

"Well, come on...spill"

I thought that was a great line!

Nice idea and I liked the brevity of the piece.
