INT.
Clothes Shop, Mid day
Opening shot:
Its Sam’s first day as a sales assistant and after two weeks training Sam is finally ready to behind Customer Service. Sam is being monitored by his supervisor on the opposite side of the till bank. Sam is really nervous as this is the first job he’s ever had.
*description, a till bank, three tills with a counter a sign above , three rows of clothing rails either side a phone and few rails behind the counter.
Cut to:
Mid shot: Sam has a large namebadge pinned to chest with his name in big capital letters; underneath his name it reads “TRAINEE”. Sam is stood tense and upright with a huge smile on his face. He takes a deep breath trying to calm his nerves, adjusts his badge.
Cut to:
Over the shoulder shot of Sam: in the distance we can see an OLD LADY struggling with a heavy bag. The shopping bag is really big, a little bigger than her, square and full of clothes.
Cut to:
Close up: Sam looks out from behind the counter, his face lights up a little in excitement as his begins to imagine what his first customer would be like. He imagines greeting the customer with happy smile, then imagines the old lady empting the huge bag of clothes she’s carrying all over the counter to return to the shop.
The smile on Sam’s face swiftly drops.
Cut to:
Mid shot: (of Sam) Sam looks around for something to do quick so he doesn’t have to serve the OLD LADY, He turns left and calls out to his supervisor in the corner, waving his arms around to grab her attention. The Supervisor is busy marking the list of new liners (new clothes) on the opposite side of the till bank and looks at him very displeased.
He grabs a handful of returns from the clothes rail behind him (returns: clothes customers have returned) and points to the shop floor.
The supervisor shakes her head.
Cut to:
Mid shot: Sam panics he finds a “closed” sign underneath the counter and places it on his till. He turns away and picks up the phone.
Close up: again the OLD LADY appears from behind the bag; she notices the sign and gives him an evil glare
OLD LADY
“Hmph”
Cut to:
Mid close up: OLD LADY, as she drops her bag and reaches into its contents. She pulls out one of the items she’s returning; 4 big pairs of white wonder bra’s and throw’s it at Sam. The bras hit Sam on the head.
Cut to:
Mid shot: Sam drops the phone whips the bra of his head. He glares back at the OLD LADY from behind the counter; this means war!.
Moment of silence as the tension builds,
We cut to a extreme close up of Sam and the OLD LADY’s eyes parallel.

Mid shot: Sam reaches behind him without taking his eyes off the OLD LADY; he grabs a hand full of coat hangers from the returns rail and fires three shots.
The OLD LADY dives behind the bag and uses it as a barricade, the coat hangers fly over her head. She looks back at the hangers then growls at Sam.
Cut to:
Mid- Long shot: clothes & coat hangers fly past the room as the two continue to fight. Suddenly the clothes stop.
Cut to:

*loud western spitting noise*
Sam turns to the OLD LADY
Sam
“What the hell….”
Cut to:
P.O.V Sam: OLD LADY has hold of her dentures; she grinds with a wicked smile, and takes one final big shot at Sam. The teeth hit the camera full pelt as a flash of stars explode from the centre of the screen.
