[Panel 1: Interior: Wide Shot – Inside a dusty old-western saloon, there is sparse attendance of card players at well-spaced tables and the odd lone cowboy getting tanked on Shwhiskey [REF] here and there. PERSON ONE, a tall, lanky man in dusty cowboy getup, walks nonchalantly into the bar. PERSON TWO, a non-binary astronaut in a space suit, is seated at the bar with their helmet on the bar next to them, and they are staring at PERSON ONE incredulously.]
01 SFX (PERSON ONE hitting bar): THWUMP!
02 PERSON ONE: Hey, watch it, bar!
03 PERSON TWO: What the hecky, fella?!
[Panel 2: Interior: Medium Shot – BARTENDER, quintessential old-timey saloon-keep man, leans over the bar toward PERSON ONE. PERSON TWO looks away, sipping their opulent cocktail minding their own business.]
04 BARTENDER: So, what’ll it be, buddy?
05 PERSON TWO: This is already turning out to be a great sample script…
[Panel 3: Interior: Close-Up – PERSON ONE rubs his guts where he hit the bar and looks wearily at the BARTENDER.]
06 PERSON ONE: A double shot of Shwhiskey…and a couple aspirins, please.
[Panel 4: Interior: Close-Up – BARTENDER, squinting his eyes, looking visibly annoyed.]
07 BARTENDER: No, I mean what’s the punch line?
[Panel 5: Interior: Medium Shot – PERSON TWO two looks deadpan into the camera. Over their shoulder we can see PERSON ONE and BARTENDER squaring off.]
08 PERSON ONE: Thankfully, this is just a sample script. We don’t need a punch line.
09 SFX (off-panel trombone, a music note before and after): Womp Womp
