Duel

Todays sketch...

EXT. FIELD. DAWN.

TWO GENTLEMEN (WILLIAM AND HENRY) ARE PREPARING FOR A DAWN DUEL. WILLIAM LAYS A CLOTH DOWN IN THE GROUND FROM WHAT WE CAN SEE IT CONTAINS A BAG OF PEANUTS, A FLOWER AND SOME DUST.

WILLIAM
Choose your weapon?

HENRY
What is the meaning of this?

WILLIAM
All the items are equally deadly. A simple peanut allergy kills nearly 100 people a year and that's not including choking. Pollen can cause all sort of re-actions capable of casuing anaphlactic shock. Dust well that can cause many resporitary conditions and if you have asthmam could prove fatal.

HENRY
Hmm.... good points well made sir, I choose the humble peanut then.

WILLIAM (RAISES EYEBROW)
I see.

HE REACHES TO JUST OFF CAMERA.

WILLIAM
Me, I prefer a pistol. 20 paces?

HE BRINGS THE GUN INTO SHOT HENRY LOOKS AGHAST
