Unformatted Sketch of a scene from a feature we'd like to see.

INT. OPULENT ROOM WITH TWO DOORS AND NO WINDOWS - DAY.

UH: Come on then.
CH: Can we talk about this?
UH: You won't listen, what's to say?

CH: See you.
The Unwashed Human has a cut lip and there are open sores on its bare feet.
UH: You won't. Can't leave the way you came in.
CH: I will.
UH: Someone will. Won't be you.
CH: I don't want to end up like you.
UH: You won't. I stayed. You're going.
CH: You know what I meant.
Coiffed Human moves quickly for the other door but makes an about turn when nearly there and almost runs back through the door they came in.
