Catalin and Internet, the original odd couple

Here is how much we got done with no practice and two hours. First read the script than see what we managed to do…Their native language is Romanian by the way.

INT. CATALINS HOUSE. BEDROOM. DAY

Scene opens with main character Catalin (17) hunched over his desk working on difficult math equations. He appears frustrated and a bit worried. We first see a shot of his math homework then zoom out to both Catalin and his work. A large hand appears and taps Catalin on the left shoulder. This hand is connected to the large personification of the Internet, known simply as ‘Internet’. He is tall and bulky wearing a red shirt which reads ‘INTERNET’ in large white letters. He has a friendly but absentminded look to his face.

Internet
Hey Catalin, you have a new message
on your hotmail account

Catalin puts down his pen and looks up at Internet half
interested

Catalin
Ahh...ok what is it?

Internet
Its from a Mr. Hung Lo asking
whether you are getting the most
from your love life, he says he has
a new male enhancing...

Internet gets cut off by Catalin who is understandably
irritated

Catalin
Internet, I thought I told you I
don’t know a Mr. Hung lo. Please
can’t you see that I am busy here?

Catalin rubs his eyes, takes glasses off

ONE MINUTE LATER

Internet
Catallin, you should check
Facebook, three of your friends did
stuff since you last logged on, one
became a fan of something...

Catalin
Who became a fan of what?

Internet
George Popescu became a fan of
tomatos

Catalin slowly shakes head in annoyance

10 SECONDS LATER

Internet
I forgot to mention

Catalin
What!?

Internet
That last conversation was brought
to you by Derby. ‘If you don’t know
Derby then you don’t know Mamaliga’

Catalin
Uh huh...And?

Internet
And this conversation is brought to
you by Timisoariana, the beer that
withstood 2 revolutions and 44
years of communism

Catalin
Ok, thanks...back to work now!

Internet
Catlin, you have just been selected
as the grand prize recipient of
200,000,000 dollars. I just need
you to tell me a bank account that
the money can be deposited into...

Catalin gets up frusterated walking out of the room



Just getting two minutes is a lot of work, wow can't wait for more....

That looks like a blast, directing those guys looks like a lot of fun. Their English is better than I would expect, although a beer lasting 44 "ears" is just flat ridiculous. I think I would have ruined half of the takes myself by laughing. You're on a roll, keep posting.
