Procrastination Script

To those who expect me to write here, I apologize. I am in the situation where any writing that isn't for English class is scrutinized as a waste of precious time. Gladly I made a script for this class, which I will share here!


Anton the (Esteemed) Procrastinator
          INT.BEDROOM

          We see Anton sitting at his desk, staring at an assignment
          on his computer screen

                              NARRATOR
                    This is the story of a young man
                    named Anton. Anton was extremely
                    bored and frustrated because he was
                    told to create a script with less
                    than 300 words.

                              ANTON
                    It cannot be done! It was hard
                    enough making a short story with
                    only five hundred! What kind of
                    story could be compressed so short?

                              NARRATOR
                    Well Anton why don't you get
                    creative? Isn't that what this
                    class is all about?

                              ANTON
                    Good idea disembodied voice!

          5 hours later we see Anton playing video games, obviously
          procrastinating.

                              NARRATOR
                    Hey man, weren't you getting
                    creative, or something?

                              ANTON
                    Yeah totally, I'm getting
                    inspiration.

                              NARRATOR
                    By playing call of battlefield.

                              ANTON
                    Yeah.

                              NARRATOR
                    You do understand that we have used
                    about a hundred words so far.

                              ANTON
                    Uh huh

                              NARRATOR
                    That's it, I'm changing the
                    setting.

          EXT.WARZONE

                              NARRATOR
                    How is this? does war inspire you
                    now?!

          We hear the whistling of a bomb falling, Anton runs towards
          the open window, narrowly escaping the bomb.

          INT.BEDROOM

                              NARRATOR
                    Well that didn't work, and now we
                    are down two hundred words.

                              ANTON
                    It's kind of hopeless now, isn't
                    it?

                              NARRATOR
                    It wouldn't be if you had started
                    writing!

                              ANTON
                    Actually, you're wrong.

                              NARRATOR
                    What could you possibly mean? I
                    haven't seen you touch your
                    keyboard, or even pick up a pencil.

                              ANTON
                    Did you ever wonder how this story
                    of us arguing came to be?

                              NARRATOR
                    (sarcastically)Well, that sure
                    explains a ton! If anyone was
                    creating this it would be me.

                              ANTON
                    Allow me to explain this with song,
                    as I ride through the most amazing
                    landscapes!

                              NARRATOR
                    Oh I hate it when you do that!

          Scene ends with "word limit reached" flashing on the screen
