EXT. BALL'S N ALL - DAY

We see a front view of ball's n all pet shop. there is a giant poster on the window.it says.

"if it doesn't breath we don't
sell it apart from leads - balls
bowls - and - bones open petting
day every Saturday for the O.A.P's
so come on in if you want to have a
stroke.

INT. BALLS N ALL - DAY

We see SCOTT a tall skinny punk type.he is standing behind the till rolling up the used receipts. on the counter is BERNARD the in house pet minor bird.
mopping around the till area is PEPE the rather small immigrant cleaner.

The shop door bell dings.

BERNARD
"oooh stinky nuts!"

SCOTT looks at BERNARD.

BERNARD
"stinky nuts."

SCOTT looks to his right.

SCOTT
"sneaky bloody bastard!"

SCOTT hurriedly leans on the counter and presses the red button on the mike.

SCOTT
code red!! code red!!

INT. BALLS N ALL - DAY

We see merv. he's mid sixties wearing a status quo cap.He is restocking the dog food. He hears the code red.

MERV
"for Christ sake"

MERV rushes away.

INT. BALLS N ALL - DAY

A view of a tramp. He has a crazy look in his eye(because he only has one) a scraggly beard and he's only wearing boxer shorts. He has a mouthful of bird nuts holding a piece of cuttlefish bone in each hand.SCOTT is keeping him at bey
with 2 brooms one of which he throws to MERV. PEPE rushes over with a soggy mop waving it around in front of the tramps eye. A very unimpressed TODD rushes out of his office. he's a small fat bald man wearing 1980s glasses. He runs over to the situation.

TODD
"you again! ya stupid
homo-erectus! Scott call
the police."

SCOTT
"already have.they're
here now"

2 police officers rush in to balls n all. BERNARD the minor bird shouts as they run past his cage.

BERNARD THE MINOR BIRD
"hide all ya drugs Scott! pigs
everywhere!

police officer 1 runs towards the nut eating cuttlefish wielding pervert and sprays him in the face with pepper spray.police officer 2 grabs the tramp and slams him down on to the floor and handcuffs him.the police officers drag the tramp up on to his feet and drag him away towards the door.bernard shouts as they shuffle past his cage with the tramp.

BERNARD THE MINOR BIRD
"see ya later sherlock!

TODD looks at MERV.

TODD
"they don't f**k about do they?"

MERV
"do you think he's gona
come back!"

TODD
"probably. when he gets
his next nut urge! the
stupid f**king cave man!"

TODD walks back in to his office shaking his head. he slams the door shut behind him..

THE END

hello. this is one of 7 sketches for balls n all pet shop. I am going to put the other 6 on over the next few days. this first one was an introduction to all of the characters. :$

Technically for me in all honesty the dialogue is stunted and unrealistic.
Too many characters being explained as it's a data dump on a forty second sketch.

Not a very complex caper and the Homo Erectus line needs to be launched

That said it could work trim it, consider making the Parrot a store detective/covert operative.
Go with the cleaner and have the tramp getting into a kennel or something.

Hello ted.the dialogue is unrealistic because its a sketch about an unrealistic pet shop and it's stunted because it's supposed to be a quick fire sketch.

Drops wrong end of stick and apologises.
