Ok here's my very first sketches. Be gentle with me
They're sorta related so I've put them together I was thinking of linking them in some way.

Someone to come home to (BEAT) Someone to be there for you (BEAT) Someone to -
DAVE TURNS TOWARDS MAN WHO IS NOW PASSIONATELY KISSING A YOUNG WOMAN

SCENE 1. INT. SHOP – DAY
CASHIER AT TILL WAITING IN SHOP. DAVE ENTERS CHOOSES A BOXED ITEM TO BUY AND HANDS IT TO THE CASHIER
DAVE:
Hi, I’d like to buy this phone but I was wondering if you could give me some money off?
CASHIER:
Our sale ended last week, Sir
DAVE:
I know. The thing is I don’t want the packaging. I think it’s a waste and really bad for the environment. Could I just pay for the phone, and you could omit the packaging? What’s the packaging worth…say five quid? Maybe that’s a bit generous…
CASHIER GLANCES AT QUEUE OF CUSTOMERS BUILDING UP
CASHIER:
I don’t really think I am authorised to do that, Sir. In any case, it would probably void the warranty if I did.
DAVE;
(GRADUALLY GETTING LOUDER) Void the warranty? Void the warranty?! If I refuse to accept the cardboard box with a printed picture on it, and the egg box of a compartment inside,(CASHIER:- Sir…)
- the instructions that people smell instead of read because the ink gets them high and the little twisty sticks which you can’t seem to buy anywhere
(CASHIER:- Sir, Please…)
– if I refuse all these useless items it voids my warranty?
CASHIER:
OK…Alright (IN A LOWER TONE) I’ll knock the five pound off, but I could really get into trouble for this.
CASHIER HANDS DAVE PHONE WITHOUT PACKAGING, DAVE HANDS CASHIER MONEY
DAVE:
Thank you (BEAT) You see? Saving the environment isn’t that hard now is it? Cardboard packaging, plastic bags, tin foil (BEAT) it really is unnecessary in this world. We as a society should have moved on by now, don’t you think?
CASHIER:
Would you like a bag with that, Sir?
DAVE:
Er…yeah go on then
End

The part where the cashier interrupts - that should be at on the right, so it doesn't break up Dave's speech. But I can't get it like that for some reason.
