Company \ PSA: Don't Run With Scissors
EXT: Park.
DIRK, a young man is sitting on a children's merry-go-round. He's holding
a pair of cutting scissors. GREG, a large bunny, runs up and pushes the
merry-go-round very fast. Dirk screams, and runs dizzily off up a hill. Greg
laughs menacingly, kicks FRODO off the slide, jumps on the back of a truck,
hits the driver with nunchucks and they peel out.
CUT TO:
MOVING
Camera circles around Dirk as he runs.
He falls off camera. SCREAMING. Blood squirts up.
INT: Doctor's office
CEDRICK, a middle aged doctor stares into space, misty eyed. PHIL, the tough
as nails physical trainer sits in the corner, hands on his knees.
CEDRICK
(sobbing)
I don't think I can save him
PHIL
Doc, ya got to! Karate championship's in two hours!
Cedrick puts a bandaid over the wound. The scissors are still protruding.
Phil leans towards Dirk.
PHIL
(whispering; teary eyed)
You're the best!
Music starts: "YOU'RE THE BEST"
CUT TO:
INT: Green room.
Dirk is working out. First he does sit-ups, then punches the air, jump ropes,
then tries to do the splits. CRUNCHING.
CUT TO:
EXT: Mountaintop
Dirk is posing in karate stances in front of a sunset
CUT TO:
INT: Gym
Music stops. Dirk is facing off against Greg. A close shot of Dirk's face
reveals beads of sweat. Phil is in the corner, cheering him on. Cedrick is
next to him, worried.
PHIL
Remember, kid! You're the best!
(music resumes)
Dirk and Greg dance around striking karate poses and jabbing at each other.
SLOW
Greg yanks out Dirk's scissors. Music fades out. Blood squirts from off camera.
Close up of Dirk's face in agony.
Phil yelling but is muted. While the commotion continues in the background,
Frodo walks in front of the camera.
FRODO
(serious tone)
Remember, running with scissors doesn't only affect you.
CUT TO:
Cedrick in the corner, crying blood and eating a bag of bugs.
CEDRICK
(whimpering)
I couldn't save him.
CUT TO:
Middle of gym. Greg is jumping up and down with a large trophy above his
head.
