  • Script Eg: DANCING - a short animated video begins to play:

    The script goes something something like this:

  • GMECH:(to cam) So you selected dancing ey? (cheeky grin) Righto.

    She saunters over the jukebox, calling to Fly as she goes.

    GMECH: Hey Fly. They want dancing!

    Fly's legs are up on Gmech's desk in her office, she's reading a mag.

    FLY: (chuckles to herself) Course they do.

    Gmech selects a tune on the duke box** if there's a way for the user to dictate what tune this is that'd be ideal.

    Gmech dims the lights in the garage and positions herself centre stage like some kind of interpretive dancer at an annual concert.

    The music starts, and off she goes. Dancing her little tush off in whatever manner she feels.

    Fly bops over and joins her, dancing minimalistically in her uber cool way.

    Cut to: down the street Bruce can be seen running with all his might toward the garage on the top of the hill. He's being drawn by the music in the distance. He slows to a stop, too puffed to continue, man he's got a long way to go.

    Inside the garage, in the sparse light, with mozzies and other annoying insects headbutting the light bulb our two girls dance away.

    Outside Bruce is forcing himself with everything he's got to clamber up the hill closer to the music. But he's out of breath, wheezing like an asthmatic.

    The girls dance together, enjoying the time they're having.

    Bruce crawls on his hands and knees to the door, he gets there and looks in, trying to appear as composed as a twelve year old can when he's on his hands and knees!

    BRUCE: Hey so are we dancing?

    The girls look over... just as the song finishes.

    GMECH: I think we're done.

    BRUCE: Ugh. He collapses.

    Gmech flicks the light switch back on to full again and returns to the bury herself under the bonnet of a car.

    Fly returns to the office and resumes her feet up position reading a magazine.

    BRUCE: Not fair.

    FLY: Oh I think it is.

    GMECH: Yep. Fair.

    BRUCE hasn't move. He's still slumped on the ground. Unable to move. He blinks. Not happy.

    End.
