An extract of a short non-dialogue farce script I wrote:
SCENE 4 - INTERIOR - WAITING ROOM
Arthur walks over to a seat and sits down, swinging his legs
at the seat he is sitting in. He sees a woman sitting next
to him with a cat cage beside her.
(CONTINUED)
Arthur starts to make cute faces at the cat cage and starts
wiggling his finger at it until he gets closer and closer
until the cat tries to attack him.
A huge roar is heard from the cage making Arthur jump back
in fear. Arthur barks at the cat cage in retaliation. The
woman sitting beside him looks at him, seeing this he stops
and looks awkwardly away.
Arthur pulls out a PSP and looking very child like and
innocent he starts playing it.
Arthur is handed a medical form to complete, he looks
thankful to the person giving it to him.
Arthur looks down to form and then starts to fill it out. He
looks up as if thinking about something and starts to fill
out form again.
He looks confused over some of the questions he was
answering but continues on.(some of the questions animal
related i,e. breed)
The hand that handed him the medical form takes it from him,
he hands it over with a smile.
Arthur looks around room endearingly. A weird and slightly
psychotic looking doctor in a white lab coat walks out from
his office, a bit untidy looking, and as he does he reaches
into the inside of his lab coat, pulls out a flask and takes
a swig, quickly putting it back inside.
The doctor calls out Arthur’s name.
Arthur hearing this gets up and walks over, accidentally
lifting the woman’s cat cage instead of his own bag, shaking
the doctors hand as he walks in his office. The doctor takes
one more swig from his flask before he follows.
SCENE 5 - INTERIOR - DOCTORS OFFICE
Guy sits down on the table, realizing he has the cat box he
looks a bit confused wondering how he got it; he sets it
down. The doctor walks over to him.
The doctor makes a series of gestures to ask what’s wrong
Arthur makes a sad face while motioning to his throat and
stomach.
The doctor grabs Arthur face while moving it up and down,
side to side examining him.
