This started as stand up and then I wrote it initially as an animated piece but it is now part of a series for Radio. Here is scene two. It has minimal direction purposely.
SCENE TWO. EXT. JUNGLE. DAY
FX. Jungle noises. Animals screeching and wailing.
ADAM
God
GOD
Yes Adam
ADAM
I'm Bored
GOD
Bored. How can you be Bored?
ADAM
Dunno God. I Just am. I mean don't get me wrong, It's great all this Jungle and stuff, I like the sky and the water, I love the Monkeys and the Bears, I'm not so keen on the Spiders, they're freaky, but the butterflies they're great, its just that, well , I'm still bored
GOD
Why don't you clean the Garden?
ADAM
It is clean
GOD
Clean. Adam look around you, there's bits of bear and horse all over the place, the grape vines are overgrown, there's molehills everywhere , there's rhino and camel dung all over. You know it took me ages to create this place. You could take a little bit of pride in it
ADAM
Well it's fairly tidy, I mean it's not that bad
GOD
It looks that bad from up here
ADAM
Sorry
GOD
You're bored?
ADAM
Yeah. Well you know. We get on well enough don't we? And I don't want you to take this the wrong way but, there's only me and you here and you are going away again to this conference thing. I've got no one else to talk to, I mean you're either not here or so busy a lot of the time and I'm just, well there's only me
GOD
I'm not giving the Monkeys the power of speech again Adam. We have been through this before. You remember what happened last time? When they learned to mimic? I don't think the Giraffes will ever have short necks again, the parrots were supposed to live in the sea and after stand up monkey, I don't think the hyenas will ever stop laughing
ADAM
It wasn't that bad
GOD
Tell that to the sloath. After they kept encouraging him to become a sprinter? He didn't stop running for a week. I don't think he will have any energy again.
ADAM
Ok. I see your point
GOD
So what do you want me to do?
ADAM
I was thinking?
GOD
Yes?
ADAM
Well what I was thinking was, maybe it's about time I had a mate, You know to do the cleaning and have babies and stuff
GOD
Babies
ADAM
Yeah, and other stuff as well
GOD
Such as?
ADAM
You know the other day when I invented that game where I had to hide and then guess where I was?
GOD
Not a very good game I recall
ADAM
True. It needed a little work, so I changed it and tried playing it with some of the others, the Penguins were too easy to find they were in the water chasing the fish, The Elephants tried bless em, but were far too big to hide properly, although I think they quite enjoyed it. The camels, I found them by smell alone, you really need to have a word with them about personal hygiene by the way. The cats, they just sat there looking at me in an evil way and didn't want to know as usual, and the Monkeys took it far too seriously. They packed themselves in a crate and tried post themselves to Europe. I didn't see any of them for 3 days afterwards
GOD
So?
ADAM
Well as I say, I was thinking and I thought, what if there was another one of me? Then I might be less bored, and take up less of your time, I mean there's two of each dog, two tigers, two armadillo's but only one of me, so I guess if there was like, I dunno, a girl one of me, I might not be as bored
GOD
Adam I can see your point, and I suppose I could help you there, but?
ADAM
But?
GOD
Females are different to males in many ways
ADAM
Yeah I noticed that with the rabbits
GOD
And this female may change things, and you know once I have created something it cannot be uncreated
ADAM
Apart from those dinosaur thingies with the big teeth. You had to uncreate them
GOD
Yes Adam with the exception of those dinosaur thingies with the big teeth. Once something is created it cannot be uncreated
ADAM
And those dodo things that kept stalking me, they were scary
GOD
Yes apart from the dinosaur thingies and the dodo's, which I might be bringing back by the way. Once something is created it cannot be undone
ADAM
And those flying wombats that fired lasers from their eyes
GOD
Yeah that wasn't a good one was it? So apart from the dinosaur thingies and the dodo's and the flying wombats that fired lasers from their eyes, once something is created it cannot be undone
ADAM
and......
GOD
Adam. Ok, Adam apart from the few things I have had to undo for your safety. Once I have created a female she cannot be uncreated, is that understood?
ADAM
Yeah ok God, unless she is dangerous?
GOD
Sometimes Adam, not even then
ADAM
OK
GOD
Alright then Adam give me a Rib
FX. Adam begins to sort through clinking ribs on the ground
FX TO FOLLOW * Xzylophone scale
ADAM

GOD

ADAM

ADAM

GOD

ADAM

FX. God begins to hum. Balloon modelling noises can be heard. Adam makes noises of approval.
GOD
There we are. What do you think?
ADAM
Well? Maybe you could take a bit off there
FX. More balloon modelling noise
ADAM
And does that really need to be that big?
FX. More balloon modelling noise
ADAM

ADAM
Just a bit bigger
GOD
Only a tad, I make them any bigger she will keep falling over
FX. The sound of an airline
GOD

ADAM
