Welcome to this week's episode of Burglary Bonanza, where all
the contestants win whatever they can take. |
| SHOT |
Host & BigBootee. |
| HOST |
Today's first contestant is John Bigbootee from New Jersey.
He's not - otherwise - employed, and is here to put his
non-employed skills to the test. |
| SHOT |
Host & Yellowfish. |
| HOST |
Our second contestant is Nigel Yellowfish, who is having
trouble having a go of it after getting out of the joint, and so
he's going to try his skills here on our show. |

| HOST |
Gentlemen, I'll give you 40 seconds to don any disguises while
I check that the door is open. Begins walking up onto a porch,
setting the door closer open. Speaking offset to behind
camera. Linda... Linda, can you get the truck backed up here...
Great. Walks further up porch. Checks door handle. Gee, it's
stuck. Host takes a step back, kicks door a few times and it
finally opens. |
| |
Host checks watch while a few other people with cameras go
by. |
| HOST |
Checks watch Five... Four... Three... Two... One...
Begin! |
| |
Existing footage of robbery needs to be pieced together
here, and voiceover commentary determined later. There are two ways
we can edit this: The original intended manner, just a gameshow
attitude. Alternately, we can go with unscripted programming
(reality TV), where in between robbery clips we have the robbers
commenting afterwards... Stuff like: |
| JOHN |
When I got to the computer, I knew it was worth something but I
had some trouble getting the wiring apart. I think the darn geek
screwed the cables into the PC... Who does that? That slowed me
down a lot, if I'd realized it was going to take so long I would
have gone for the microwave instead... |
| NIGEL |
I noticed John struggling with the PC a little, so I spent some
time grabbing the microwave and television. |
| JOHN |
When Nigel grabbed the cat, I didn't know what he was doing. On
closer inspection, though, I noticed the breed -- a korat - an
allergen free type, so they're pricey cats. I realized then I was
going to have trouble against him. |
| NIGEL |
The cat... I shouldn't have spooked it like I did... It took
off and got away, and I didn't want to waste a lot of time chasing
it. Too bad, could have brought a pretty penny. |
| |
And so forth... Scripting for this would need to be fleshed
out after editing. Either way, at some point... |
| SCENE 1.2. |
Robbery. |
| HOST |
The college texts are a good idea, worth much more if they were
new... Still, not a bad choice from what's remaining in the
houeshold. Meanwhile, John is... Cocks head, listening for a
moment. |
| SOUND |
Sirens in distance. |
| HOST |
Oh, but that sound means our show is just about over, thanks
for watching and see you again next time on Burglary Bonanza!
Moves microphone away, starts moving for the door as he
yells: Cops! Clear off everyone. Linda, get the truck started.
Host gets into truck, goes off with Linda. |
| SHOT |
Scrambling toward a car. |
| |
The camera scrambles toward a car, gets the door open and
climbs in as credits roll. We may or may not see the other camera
crew climbing in other doors. Someone else climbs in driver's side,
starts car and they pull out racing from the scene of the
skit. |
