Hey, thought I'd be brave and post a few of my sketches on here to see what you all think. I'm new to this so any feedback would be most appreciated, positive or negative.
Thanks in advance
Q
Scene 1. Int. Living Room [13:00]
JANE IS SITTING IN THE LIVING ROOM. SHE PICKS UP THE TELEPHONE AND BEGINS TO DIAL A NUMBER.
JANE
Oh, yes, hello, I was wondering if you could help me please. I need someone to teach me how to read French
PHONE OPERATOR
Yes, of course madam, well we do a beginners course in French on Tuesday evenings in which you will learn the basics in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
JANE
No, I’m sorry, I’m just looking to learn how to read French. I have no interest in the rest.
PHONE OPERATOR
Um, I’m sorry, this is most unusual-can I ask your reason for only wishing to read French?
JANE
Well, I’ve just bought this new telly off eBay and it’s come from France and the instructions are in French.
PHONE OPERATOR
Isn’t there a section in the instruction manual in English?
JANE
What do you mean exactly?
PHONE OPERATOR
Well, normally in these booklets, they have the instructions in a variety of languages throughout.
JANE FLICKS THROUGH THE BOOKLET AND FINDS THE SECTION IN ENGLISH.
JANE
Oh, right, I didn’t understand what was on the front page so I didn’t bother to go any further. Thank you so much for your help.
PHONE OPERATOR
That’s not a problem, bye.
JANE PICKS UP HER BOOK AND DIALS ANOTHER NUMBER.
JANE
Oh, yes, hello, I’m just calling to cancel my German reading classes.
