FADE IN.
EXT. SMALL UK TOWN HEATH
STREET. DAY
MAN, in cheap grey suit walks
stridently down “Heath Street”
GOD (V.O.)
Hey buddy?! You! Yeah, you! Look, I’m a
little lost here. I take my eye off the
ball for one minute; my son disappears
and my earth diorama grows sentience.
MAN stops suddenly, recoils
at the ethereal voice and looks up.
MAN
GOD?
GOD (V.O.)
Yeah it’s me, the G.O.D. Can you help a brother
out? Last person to see my son was the angel
Gabriel, he tells the best jokes; if not the
dirtiest........ You ever hear the one about the
Buddha in the Bath tub? Ha ha; Always cracks me up.
Man, still looking up, looks
confused and fearfull at the reference
GOD (V.O.)
O-Kay, sentience doesn’t mean sense of humour.
So, as I was saying, Gabriel said the "Big J"
was in the WOOLWORTHS down here on earth;
turning their bottled water into wine. I was
told the 'WOOLS' was on Heath St but I can’t
seem to find it, you know where I went wrong?
Man, looks around and then
points down the street.
MAN
Er, It’s down the other
end of Heath st.
GOD (V.O.)
Trick question Buddy, I’m NEVER wrong!
Man runs SCREAMING away from
the direction he pointed in
GOD (V.O.)
....What the hell?
I WAS ONLY KIDDING BUDDY, CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE?
.......Guess he can’t.
God (POV Cam) heads down the Heath
Street towards an empty building, still with a dilapidated but clearly visible
neon WOOLWORTHS sign above it.
GOD (V.O.)
So, I must have walked past it to.....
Gabriel, YOU BASTARD! When the hell did Woolworths close?
Turning, God sees a person
off in the distance and heads over to them.
GOD
(V.O.) cont.
Hey buddy?!
You!
Yeah, you!
FADE OUT.
