This screenplay was submitted in response to our December 2016 Hands On activity.
Narrator: I’m going to tell you a tale of an unlikely friendship between man and beast. It all started on a day like any other simple day in a simple house…or so it would seem.
Bready: Honey I’m going to be in my man cave if you need me.
Nancy: Do you mean the basement? Because all you did was put a mini fridge and a video game system down there.
Bready: Yes, and that makes it my man cave!
Narrator: And that’s when it all started to happen.
Bready: Arg, why is it so dark down here? I don’t remember turning off the lights yesterday. Maybe Nancy turned them off. Well, whatever.
Zombie: Ggggrrrrr.
Bready: Whoa, what was that?
(Zombie comes out.)
Bready: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Zombie: Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I only eat broccoli.
Bready: What, so you aren’t going to eat my brains?
Zombie: Of course not! Brains are nasty and chewy I don’t want to eat that gross stuff!
Bready: So if you don’t want to eat my brains, then why are you here and why were you growling?
Zombie: I was here because I was looking for broccoli, and I was growling because I hit my head on a pipe.
Bready: Oh, okay then.
Nancy: Honey, what’s that noise?
Bready: Um, nothing dear! (Whispering.) Go hide. I’ll come back tomorrow to get you some broccoli.
Zombie: Does this mean we’re friends now, Bready?
Bready: Yeah, I guess so.
Zombie: Cool, see you tomorrow!
Nancy: Honey, it’s dinner time!
Bready: Okay, I have to go now. Bye.
Zombie: Okay, bye.
(Zombie smiles.)
The end! ;D
