Flash Fiction: Special Bagels

INT – MANSION - OFFICE – DAY – WIDE SHOT
MR. X, a large, well-proportioned bald man in a nice suit, stands at his large desk. He is on the phone.

MR. X: Listen to me, I want this procedure to work, you understand?

He turns away from the camera.

MEDIUM SHOT – MR.X’S BACK OF BALD HEAD

MR. X: Again, I shall only repeat this once…I want this procedure to work.

Silence.

CLOSE SHOT – TELEPHONE CRADLE - Mr. X hangs up the phone.


INT – LABORATORY – DAY - MEDIUM LOW ANGLE SHOT – DR. HANZ AND THOM - DR. HANZ hangs up the phone.

DR. HANZ: He will not give up.

THOM: The man’s insane. They call us insane? They call us mad doctors? He’s the mad one.

CAMERA FOLLOWS DR.HANZ walking to a long bank of windows overlooking an operating theater.

DR. HANZ: Sanity is a lie, Thom. It matters not who is the ‘mad one’ in this situation because sanity is bullshit lies.

Dr. Hanz glances over to Thom, o.s.

MEDIUM SHOT – THOM - He’s barefoot, gnawing and sucking on the dirty toes of his left foot.

CLOSE UP – DR. HANZ - Sadness on his face.

DR. HANZ: (quietly) Sanity is made-up bullshit lies.


INT. OPERATING THEATER - LOW WIDE ANGLE SHOT – CAMERA SLOWLY ZOOMS UP TO DR.HANZ, LOOKING DOWN

DR. HANZ: (his voice muffled behind the windows) He wants her to have bagel boobies, then she shall have bagels for boobies!
