BILLY BUDD-Jake Perno CLAGGART- Jake Loper SAILOR-Matt Smith

(//The scene takes place in a back alley, BILLY and the other are sitting around a small table, playing cards and eating lunch. It is about the beginning of spring on a Sunday afternoon. The sailors are all having a great time, and the scene falls quiet when CLAGGART appears in the distance. And one last thing, we auto tuned the entire scene//.) BILLY:(//laughing//) And then he said that it was the elephant in the corner!(//All lines are said with changing tones, for the purpose of production, with changing tones the audio is being used properly//.) SAILOR: Oh Billy, you're so funny,tell us another! BILLY: Okay, I will, calm down everyone //(reassuringly//) So a priest walks into a carriage house...( //the rest of the joke is not heard but the two sailors continue laughing as CLAGGART still approaches//.) SAILOR: That was hilarious, I'm going to have to write that one down. BILLY: Well as much as i enjoy your company, I don't think ill be repeating that. (//CLAGGART approaches still, as if on purpose//) (//From this point until the soup is thrown, none of this is actually occurring, it only takes place in CLAGGART's mind//.) BILLY: So what do you think of Claggart? SAILOR: (//seeming to choose his words carefully//) Well, he's the master at arms, so other than harassing us he just kind of lurks around the ship, he kind of creeps me out sometimes. (//CLAGGART hears his name and walks toward the table, interested in what is being said.//) BILLY: I completely agree with you, personally I can't stand the guy, its his chin, I just wanna lay him out one of these days. SAILOR: Well, we're all behind you, none of us are too fond of him. CLAGGART: Well, might one inquire as to what is going on here? (//the two sailors are surprised, they didn't notice is waltz toward the table//) BILLY: Nothing that concerns you, Claggart. (//with a hint of sass//) CLAGGART: Well, well, well, Insubordination charges anyone? Giving sass to a superior? BILLY: Superior hardly. CLAGGART: Well what do you want to do, attack me? (//cracks neck preparing for a fight.//) (//The scene goes quiet and only music is heard playing, BILLY rises to throw the soup in slow motion directly at CLAGGART's feet. Suddenly, the scene jumps back into reality and the soup is spilled on the ground accidentally.//) BILLY: (//apologizing//) I'm terribly sorry sir, let me clean your shoes. CLAGGART: OH, now worries lad, that's quite fine. (//The camera goes to CLAGGART's face, which is menacing, as if he is planning something horrible.//) SAILOR:Did anyone else see that?
