(This is set in a care home, with a social worker:Sharon, and a very difficult child: Orange.)
Sharon: Hey Orange, want do you want to do today?
Orange: No, I’ve got better things to do than hang out with you.
Sharon: Hey don’t say that to me, what are you doing anyway?
Orange: stealing Peter’s flute.
Sharon: Orange, you shouldn’t do that, what are you writing?
Orange: A plan to wet you.
Sharon: Really, how interesting, tell me about it.
Orange: Ok, umm, well when you go out to your car to go home, I come out with a hose and soak you to pieces, hahahahaha!
Sharon: That’s not nice Orange, why do you want to wet me?
Orange: I don’t like you.
Sharon: Why? I like you, you’re my friend.
Orange: How stupid can you get? Sharon you’re a geek hahaha!

Hi Giggles, I feel like you’ve chosen to go for a more openly comic, even slapstick tone with this, which is fine. But think about the effect you want to have. How are we supposed to see the characters? Is Orange supposed to be difficult/bratty/disturbed? The social worker’s character also seems a bit flat, although I like the way that she begins by being excessively nice and then reacts. I feel like this conflict needs a bit more depth, a bit more working out; otherwise it remains at the level of a sketch (the social worker getting drenched being the punch line of the joke). It all depends on whether you want it to be at all serious or you’re happy for it to stay funny at the surface.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Your other attempt manages to be light AND effective; this one appears to be a little confused about its intentions at times. Is it pure comedy? Or is it social comment? Not sure it works as both...
