DOC UNKNOWN (quietly): This is gorgeous.
2 - Doc Unknown is now in the bedroom. It's a good size, with a beautiful four post bed, along with a match drawer / dresser / armoire set. The bedroom window lets in some beams of light that make the whole room look even more impressive. Doc wears a big grin, his hands on his hips.
DOC UNKNOWN (quietly): Love that early morning light.
3 - Doc Unknown is now in the bathroom. It is equally nice. The shower is on, creating some steam. Doc has a sleeve rolled up and his glove off, reaching into the shower to feel the water.
SFX: pssssh!
DOC UNKNOWN (quietly): Good water pressure.
4 - Doc Unknown has moved to the kitchen. It's well stocked, with a dandy looking oven / stove, a nice icebox, some excellent counters, and the like. He is once again happy with what he sees, letting out an appreciative whistle.
DOC UNKNOWN: ♫
5 - Doc Unknown is now in the living room / parlour. There's some couches for sitting and tables for cards games or whatever. Doc Unknown is pleased as punch, one hand stroking his chin pensively.
DOC UNKNOWN: I think this could work...
6 - Repeat panel 5, but pull out slightly to reveal that Doc Unknown is not alone in the room. Doc turns in surprise / embarassment to see Detective Williams (from issue #1 - natch) standing behind him. Williams looks mighty confused at Doc's actions. Behind the two men, we can also see some unconscious, tied-up goons who Doc has clearly tussled with earlier (thus explaining what they are doing here).
DETECTIVE WILLIAMS: You okay, Doc?
DOC UNKNOWN: uh....
CAPTION: No!
HELEN: For the last time, we're not moving into a crime scene!
DOC UNKNOWN: But this one's so nice!
Bwa-hahahaha!! Sounds like apartment hunting, eh, guys? Who's with me?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is IMHO one of the funniest things you've written. You perfectly mesh the mundane and the absurd. This is a smart and well paced script. Kudos, sir.
But does she even know what KIND of crime took place at that scene?
