Commercial

"I wrote this about 9 years ago, it never got made."


The opening scene starts out in a bedroom. A husband and a wife are getting into bed. There are a normal looking couple.
HUSBAND:
How was the day honey. Teach any of those kids anything?
WIFE:
The day was okay I guess, I had to put two of my students in detention, for throwing
rocks at the squirrels.
HUSBAND:
Oh there just kids sweety. I used to burn worms when I was that age.
WIFE
(she shrugs the rude remark off. Then takes a second before saying)
When are we going to have a child?
HUSBAND:
Do we have to talk about this now?
Lets watch some TV.
(He quickly turns on the TV and settles into his pillow)

CUT TO:
The TV; where you can see a man in uniform talking. In the corner of the screen there is a box showing an infrared vision of, exploding missiles, and buildings falling.
MAN in UNIFORM:
We now have a special segment for you lucky viewers tonight.
The new segment allows us the ability to go on a ride with a F-15 fighter.
But that’s not all folks. Once our F-15 gets ready to take out his target. We then enter into a missile camera, and go on a ride of our lives.
So Don’t Go away now, the ride will start after these Messages.

COMMECIAL ONE
You can see a plane taking off from a normal airport. The camera enters the airplane. Everybody looks perfectly normal (civilians). There is a child jumping in his seat with a fake gun screaming.
KID:
I’m taking control, I’m taking control!!.
(The camera moves down the isle, reaches the kid. Who’s mother is now giving the child chewable tablets from a prescription like bottle.)
MOM:
Here Johnny, takes some RIDDY’S

(camera moves past the kid and mom. It then captures this cute innocent looking women and the extremely plain pale face man in the window seat. The Man grabs the girl and puts a gun to her head.)
MAN:
I’m taking control! I’m Taking Control!
Every body to the back of the plane!

( then a man in an army suit stands up and says very quickly)
ARMY MAN:
What are your results Sir?
How can I help you Sir?
Is there a problem Sir?
(as he is saying this he is pulling a throwing knife from his back)
What is your name Sir?
MAN:
HAHAH, My name?.
(before he gives an answer, there is a knife in his throat.
The plane starts applauding, the women runs to the army man, and starts kissing him.)
