Cutting.

JIM AND PAT ARE STANDING NEXT TO A FANCY PAPER CUTTER ON A TABLE.

JIM

Look isn't it good, you can actually clip the paper in place, it can cut through 10 layers at once.

PAT

You dimwit Jim I can't even trust you to buy a guillotine.

JIM

What's wrong with it?

WE PULL BACK TO REVEAL IT'S REVOLUTINARY FRANCE AND THEY HAVE A WAGON FULL OF ARISTOS TO BEHEAD.

THE KNITTING OLD LADIES LOOK UNHAPPY.

Would this be better silent?

Ahh, the old guillotine joke. Can certainly imagine it in an old-style reel feel, with the dialogue in the white lettering on black between shots.

This one is a bit feeble to be honest.

Probably right, am I not allowed the occaisonal pull navk and reveal?>
