Smelly Zombie

A Screenplay by ALEX MASON

INT. A SWEET SHOP — AFTERNOON

Energetic hairdresser DR ANDY SWEET is arguing with clever gardener DR CLARKE THUNDER. ANDY tries to hug CLARKE but he shakes him off.

ANDY

Please Clarke, don’t leave me.

CLARKE

I’m sorry Andy, but I’m looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on, instead of running away.

ANDY

I am such a person!

CLARKE frowns.

CLARKE

I’m sorry, Andy. I just don’t feel excited by this relationship anymore.

CLARKE leaves.

ANDY sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, caring actor LADY STANLEY WILLIS barges in looking flustered.

ANDY

Goodness, Stanley! Is everything okay?

STANLEY

I’m afraid not.

ANDY

What is it? Don’t keep me in suspense…

STANLEY

It’s… a zombie… I saw an evil zombie squash a bunch of children!

ANDY

Defenseless children?

STANLEY

Yes, defenseless children!

ANDY

Bloomin’ heck, Stanley! We’ve got to do something.

STANLEY

I agree, but I wouldn’t know where to start.

ANDY

You can start by telling me where this happened.

STANLEY

I was…

STANLEY fans herself and begins to wheeze.

ANDY

Focus Stanley, focus! Where did it happen?

STANLEY

a supermarket! That’s right — a supermarket!

ANDY springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD — CONTINUOUS

ANDY rushes along the street, followed by STANLEY. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

EXT. A SUPERMARKET — SHORTLY AFTER

KATY PITT a smelly zombie terrorises two children.

ANDY, closely followed by STANLEY, rushes towards KATY, but suddenly stops in his tracks.

STANLEY

What is is? What’s the matter?

ANDY

That’s not just any old zombie, that’s Katy Pitt!

STANLEY

Who’s Katy Pitt?
