Its meant to be a very whimsical sketch based on the ideas of 'last words' or 'profoundness in death'. Its not quite right just yet but I can't think of what to change - The actual rap is pathetic I know, but like I say it is the idea I am happy with more than the execution of it
This sketch is about some soldiers who are under fire in a warzone and are discussing what they want their last words to be.
FX: Gun fire
Soldier 1
Oh crap they're shooting at us! Get down!
Solider 2
What do we do now?
Soldier 1
Just stay covered and try to keep them at distance with a few shots, but be careful we have limited ammo. Then all we can do is pray for back up.
Soldier 2
Oh I don't want to die!
Soldier 1
None of us do mate, but if we stick it out we can get through this, don't be scared
Soldier 2
I'm not scared; I just hadn't planned to die today!
Soldier 1
What do you mean planned? Who plans to die?
Soldier 2
No, I just mean I haven't got anything planned to say before I die
Soldier 1
What the hell are you talking about?
Soldier 2
Well you hear stories don't you? Brave soldiers who said or wrote something profound or philosophical right before they died, I didn't think that far ahead!
Soldier 1
What about if you say to me 'tell my wife and kids I love them'? That is short and simple and sweet.
Soldier 2
No! Screw my family, they know I love them. I don't just want to be one of those nameless men killed in battle. I want to be remembered for saying something badass!
Soldier 1
Christ! Its not a Jason Statham film, we have bigger things to worry about that you trying to look cool when you're dead!
Soldier 2
Give me that pen and some paper
Soldier 1
No way! Why?
Soldier 2
I am going to write a poem
Soldier 1
A poem? That's a bit gay isn't it?
Solider 2
Good point! I'll write a rap then
Soldier 1
You must be joking?
Soldier 2
No, I'm doing it. I told you, I want to look badass when I'm dead
Soldier 1
Alright! Let me do it with you then
Soldier 2
Okay! Let's do this. How about we start with 'Yo we're getting shot at and we don't know what to do, we really hate the Taliban yeh that's the truth'
Soldier 1
Yeah that is really good! Or how about 'we really hate the Taliban they stink of poo'
Solider 2
Oh yeh, that's way better!
Soldier 1
It's weird, I kind of hope we do get killed now, because this is pretty cool
Soldier 2
Exactly right?!
