Peanuts – Contacts - Shaun Richens.


1. Peppermint Patty sits at her school desk. She is turned facing the desk behind her. A perplexed look on her face, she strokes her chin as if trying to solve a complex riddle.

         PEPPERMINT PATTY: What’s different here?

2. We pull back to see MARCIE sat behind Patty who still looks puzzled. Marcie is not wearing her glasses but does have a lovely smile on her face.

         NO COPY.

3. Close up on Marcie.

         MARCIE: I got contacts Sir.

4. Repeat of panel 2. However now Peppermint Patty has turned to face away from Marcie.

Peppermint Patty has raised her hand.
        
         PEPPERMINT PATTY: Ma’am, Marcie is acting weird.

  1. This page is about as perfect as can be. It reads just about how I would imagine a script of this nature to be. :^D

    1. Wow thank you for the kind words man, means a lot as this was your pick and one I could tell you had so much love for.

      As soon as you made the pick I knew I'd be writing Peppermint Patty and Marcie as I've always had a huge soft spot for them!

  2. I actually read over this one a few times before it clicked with me, but that was more my fault than the scripts.

    This is a super cute look at Peppermint Patty and Marcie's relationship. Hat's off to you, sir.

  3. Nailed the tone. Nailed it.

    Good show, Sir! (pun slightly intended)
