Hospital sketch

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

A SOMBRE FACED DOCTOR APPROACHES A YOUNG MOTHER AND HER SON.

DOCTOR:
I'm sorry… we did all we could but… he's gone.

THE BOY LOOKS UP TO HIS MOTHER, LIP QUIVERING.

SON:
Where did daddy go, mummy?

THE MOTHER IS RACKED WITH SOBS.

DIRECTOR: (O.O.V)
Yes!

PULL BACK TO REVEAL WE'RE ON A MOVIE SET.

DIRECTOR:
F**king nailed that shit!

HE HIGH FIVES THE LITTLE BOY.

You've written better, this is just a reflection on what probably happens all the time

That's true. Maybe for it to work I could make the situation even more extreme. It's the sort of sketch that will rely mainly on the enthusiasm of the actor playing the Director role really.
