INT. AIRPORT LOUNGE -

The Headless Horseman attempts to pass through customs.

He flashes his passport at the Desk Clerk and attempts to move on.

The Desk Clerk uses her finger to summon him back.

She looks at his passport closely - It's an empty photograph.

She holds the passport next to the horseman's neck.

She looks at the picture - squints, compares.

DESK CLERK
Okay, you can go through.

The Headless Horseman is handed back his passport, he moves on.

EXT. KLU-KLUX-KLAN RALLY -

We see a gathering of KKK members dressed in sheets.

KKK Chief errects a wooden cross, he's using a lighter to try and set fire to the cross but the lighter won't work in the breeze.

KKK MEMBER
Shield the flame chief, shield it.

KKK Chief creates a flame but it soon whimpers out in a fizzle of smoke.

KKK MEMBER
We ought'a there be tryin' to have used bbq fuel.

KKK CHIEF
Dang good idea.

They combine efforts, use fuel, finally get it to light, but the flames go out immediately...

KKK MEMBER
Mary Jesus n'Joe!

We see various attempts to ignite the cross. None work.

They set fire to a branch doused in fuel, use their white gowns to shield their flames, other members fan and blow the flames toward the cross, the flames at last seem to be taking hold.

KKK CHIEF
Amen! And now my brothers, for the first order of --

The sky cracks and turns black... Torrential rain pours down and extinguishes the cross. The KKK members open up and hold white umbrellas

KKK CHIEF
For f**ks sake!
(to all)
Ahh, meeting cancelled.

You're really getting into the swing of things, Jack...

First one was great, I might try that one out myself next time I go on holiday...

Second one was good, maybe a little change of profanity at the end; 'Jesus f**king H..' instead of the FFS..? Keep it in line with the religious overtones...

I think the passport photo 'okay, you can go through' is a bit cliche, sorry.

I liked the KKK sketch, although instead of umbrellas I imagined their sheets flapping about.

First one was a really good idea
& worked great as a clever quickie - top stuff.

The second one I didn't like so much.
Not that it was rubbish, but it didn't do it for me.

Thanks for reading and commenting, feedback helps in knowing if somethings on the track or not. Cheers.

They are just good and with work will become very good,I think once you have the feedback you should just work on the two and add the little bits that will do the trick.

The first was ok but didn't seem new to me somehow , the second one was better and I liked the build up of ridiculousness as it went along.
