INT. UNSPECIFIED. DAY
IN CLOSE UP TO CAMERA, A BLACK-FACED MINSTREL GOES DOWN ON ONE KNEE DOING JAZZ HANDS.
MINSTREL
Mammy!
SEVEN MORE MINSTRELS DO THE SAME THING.
THE NEXT CLOSE UP IS OF A BEMUSED LOOKING AFRO-CARIBBEAN YOUTH.
THE SHOT OPENS UP TO SHOW A POLICE SERGEANT AND A LITTLE OLD LADY LOOKING AT THE MINSTRELS AND THE YOUTH THROUGH A TWO-WAY MIRROR.
LITTLE OLD LADY
It's number nine.
END.
I thought it would be better, albeit maybe slightly racist. If your line up was all black guys with one minstrel.
?What youth?
Is he number 9 ???
I like the gag but then I am a fan of the 'Black & White Minstrels'.
Nice one!
I like this one a lot a very nice visual sketch, strong enough to be completley silent.
Funny as well.
I think I'd have a couple of the minstrels be police officers in minstrel make up.
