Well well, as you all know, I've been writing some kinda script for school. Handed it in, and the feedback was that its too long. It's not really much of a problem 'cause I simply removed a scene from it. Guess everything good will come to an end, eh? I'm not saying that its good (it's not, trust me), but still, it's kinda said that no one can see it on stage.
Anyway, here's the deleted scene:
Act 2 – Family Boot Camp
Scene 1
Characters – Cecil, Examiner (voice)
Location – Examiner’s office
Examiner: Mmmm… Interesting. So your father’s job is something real special. What about your mother? Does she work?
Cecil: No. My mother is a full time housewife.
Examiner: So she is a normal housewife, right?
Cecil: Well. I won’t exactly call it normal, because it feels like Military Boot Camp at home, and I mean it literally.
Examiner (flat): … boot camp…
[Fade to black – end of scene 1]
Scene 2
Characters – Ian, Cecil, Patricia, Archie
Location – Joester household
[Alarm clock rings. Patricia enters]
Patricia (Shouts): Alright guys, [bangs frying pan twice with spatula] rise and shine!
[Ian enters]
Ian (sleepily): What is it, dear? What time is it …. What? Five-fifteen in the morning?!
Patricia: And I let you sleep in for fifteen minutes today. Aren’t I kind or something? Now, honey, go wash up.
Ian: But, dear, I just came back from Shanghai at 12 last night! And Why do we have to wake up so early every morning?
Patricia: So that you can bring those two for morning jogs. It’s for your health, so no more buts. Time to wash up. Now GO!
[Ian exits. Cecil and Archie enters]
Archie: [Yawns] … What time is it? ... Five eighteen?!
Patricia: The early bird gets the worm …
Archie: But the second mouse gets the cheese! Besides, we are not birds and we don’t survive on worms. That’s just plain ludicrous.
Cecil: And it’s Saturday! We don’t have school, so why can’t we sleep in?
Patricia: But you have your morning jog. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about that.
Archie: But mom, we are surviving on 5 hours of sleep during the weekdays…
Patricia: So sleep earlier. Oh wait, whose turn is it to wash the bathroom, is it you Cecil, or is it Archie …
Cecil + Archie: Bye, mom!
[Patricia and Archie exits, Ian enters]
Ian: What’s wrong with them? They seemed eager to use the bathroom. Having the runs this early?
Patricia: You all ARE running in a moment, aren’t you?
Ian: You know what I mean.
Patricia: Of course. And what took you so long? You’ve used the bathroom 15 seconds longer than the previous day. Wait, dear, when was the last time that you have washed the bathroom? Today should be your turn … [Takes out a toothbrush]
Ian: Eh, eh… (Shouts) Guys, morning runs!
[Ian exits]
Patricia: Gosh, with this bunch of nincompoops, it sure is hard to keep the family running. [Sizzling sound] Ah! My scramble eggs!!!
[Patricia exits]
