Pelican Crossing

A nice little visual sketch.

EXT. A PELICAN CROSSING - DAY

A girl is stood at the side of the road at a pelican crossing. The odd car drives past. She presses the button. After a moment the tone sounds. We see the box above the button where the word "Walk" is illuminated. The lights stay green. The girl begins to walk across the road and is suddenly hit by a bus and knocked out of shot. The tone stops. A few more cars drive past. After a moment the lights turn red and the tone sounds again. A car stops at the crossing. We see the box above the button again where the words "Simon says walk" are illuminated.

Cruel. But I like it.

Bo.

Good one.

This appeals to the part of me that enjoys blind girls being hit by buses. Top hole.

Yeah, I like this.

Don't know if it would work, but could you have someone else, a child(?), standing with the girl, glaring and not crossing when she cheerfully does, and then crossing smugly at the Simon Says light?

Glad everyone likes this :)

Good, funny.

Can't believe I missed this it's ace.

And the beginnings of an ace runner.

very good this. I could have seen Not the Nine O'clock News doing this, or one of that team. Who would use it now do we think?
