Superman sketch

PREMISE – BUILD UP AS IN A SCENE FROM SUPERMAN (THOUGH OBVIOUSLY ON A LOW BUDGET).

SUPERHERO (BUT IN CIVVIES) IS OUT WALKING WITH PARTNER – PERHAPS AT A DAMN OR SOME SUCH INTERESTING, BUT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SETTING. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.

FADE THEIR CONVERSATION AS...

SUPERHERO SPOTS SOMEONE IN TROUBLE. THEY HAVE CLIMBED OVER THE EDGE TO SHOW OFF, SLIPPED AND ARE NOW SLIDING DOWN THE DAMN TOWARDS THE COLD WATER BELOW.

SUPERHERO: Err, sorry love. I think I left my camera in the gents back there. Wait here, I won't be a minute.

SUPERHERO SPRINTS TO GENTS, CLOSES CUBICLE DOOR, RIPS OF CIVVIES AND UNDERNEATH IS A SUPERMAN LIKE COSTUME (BUT NOT SUPERMAN TO AVOID COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS!)

IS ABOUT TO SPRINT OUT, BUT CATCHES REFLECTION IN MIRROR.

ZOOM TO MIRROR – SUPERHERO HAS A BIG SPOT ON HIS CHIN.

SUPERHERO: Jesus, what a beauty. Well, I can't go out like this.

SUPERHERO PUTS HIS TWO INDEX FINGERS AROUND SPOT AND STARTS PUTTING PRESSURE ON IT AND PREPARING TO SQUEEZE.

CUT TO PERSON IN TROUBLE, WHO MAKES A COUPLE OF LAST DESPERATE PLEAS FOR HELP BEFORE SLIPPING BELOW THE SURFACE FOR A FINAL TIME...

I prefered the other one, this one has way to weak a punch.
