A Brief PSA


Here’s my take on the “Heat Wave” edition of Sketchwar.

FADE IN: 

EXT. PARK – DAY

Clearly the hottest day of the year.

A LOUT stands near a bench and holds forth.

Several LISTENERS sit on the bench, silently suffering in the heat.

LOUT

You call this hot? This is nothing! Where I’m from, it gets this hot all the time!

A SMALL BOY carry a wiffle-bat approaches, and watches the lout.

LOUT

And do we complain about it? Hell, no! It’s just you locals that ca--

WHAM!

The small boy nails the lout in the crotch with the bat.

The man crumples.

TITLE CARD

Reads “Don’t be that guy.”

VOICEOVER

Don’t be that guy. This message brought do you by the Association for Not Being a Dick.

EXT. PARK – CONTINUOUS

The lout groans on the ground.

The small boy runs off.

FADE OUT.
