INT. MR. DELIVER'S HOUSE - DAY |
|
|
TOM DELIVER (30s) somewhat overweight, glasses, brown hair,
dressed in a white shirt and sweat pants. DELIVER is
sitting on his couch watching reruns of south park when he
hears the door bell RING. HE slowly raises up and walks
toward the door. HE opens the door to see a MAILMAN standing
outside the door with a clipboard in one hand and a package
in the other wearing the usual mailman attire. |
|
|
| |
MAILMAN
Hello.. Yes.. Well I have a
package for a...

paper)
Tom Deliver. |
|
|
|

|
The MAILMAN hands DELIVER the package and the clipboard. |
|
|
| |
MAILMAN
(pointing)
Just sign right there. |
|
|
|
DELIVER quickly signs the clipboard and hands it back to the
MAILMAN. |
|
|

The MAILMAN turns around and heads down the sidewalk toward
his vehicle. |

him. |

INT. SMALL OFFICE - DAY |
|
|
DELIVER walks into a small office, blandly decorated, with a
wooden desk in the center. The desk has only papers and a
name plate reading CHARLES THURMAN on it. |
|
|
| |
THURMAN
AH, Mr. Deliver, glad you could
make it..
(gesturing)
Please sit. |
|
|
|
DELIVER slowly walks to the cheap wooden chair and sits
down. |
|
|
| |
THURMAN
So.. Mr. Deliver, thats quite an
interesting name you've got there.

THURMAN

delivery boy. Wouldn't that be
something, haha. |
|
|
|

DELIVER

that sir. |

| Not bad. It is not of Monty Python quality at all, but it would make good entertainment. Well done. |
