Looking at a series of three shortish skits based on a basic premise. Here's the first...
* * * * *
VERSION ONE.
EXT. PARK. DAY.
DOUG is standing by a tree, eating a sandwich. RUFUS and ALICE approach him.
RUFUS:
Doug!
DOUG:
Hey, Rufus. What's up?
RUFUS:
Not much. This is Alice, a friend; Alice, Doug.
DOUG & ALICE (to each other):
Hi.
RUFUS (to DOUG):
Actually, mate, you should see Alice's impersonations. She – is – brilliant!
DOUG (glances at ALICE):
Oh, really?
ALICE (blushing):
No, I'm not.
RUFUS (grinning at ALICE):
False modesty! Go on, do your Joan of Arc.
ALICE rolls her eyes, awkward.
RUFUS (cont.):
Go on!
ALICE (breezily):
Alright, alright.
RUFUS and DOUG suddenly find themselves standing in a medieval town centre. ALICE, extensively made-up to look like Joan of Arc, is bound to a stake, kindling at her feet. She wears a quintessential Hundred Years War expression. A GUARD hurls a flaming torch onto the kindling and it goes up. Firelight flickers across the faces of RUFUS and DOUG as ALICE is martyred. Within moments, RUFUS and DOUG are left staring at a pile of ash on the ground.
DOUG (nods approvingly):
Pretty convincing.
FIN.
