Scribblers
"Lyric Makes A Thing"
by Steffan Alun
1. INT. THE PIT - Day. 0900
AMITY and SHIFT are reading aloud from scripts.
AMITY
I just don't understand how you could do this, Tony. It stands for everything you hate.
SHIFT
It is because I'm not Tony - I am EVIL TRANSFORMER MAN! Prepare to meet your doom, Lisa!
AMITY
Shift! Stop making up lines!
LYRIC enters.
LYRIC
Guys, I made a thing! Look!
He holds up a metallic face mask.
SHIFT
Ooh, Lyric made a horrible sex toy.
AMITY
Ha! I mean, sorry Lyric. What did you make?
LYRIC
This device will revolutionise all our lives.
SHIFT
It IS a sex toy!
LYRIC
Look!
Lyric attackes the device to his face.
Presses a switch.
It hums gently.
When Lyric speaks, his voice sounds robotic.
LYRIC (robotic)
Hear my words.
AMITY
You've made a voice changer thing! Um, yay?
SHIFT
My life feels pretty revolutionised right now.
Lyric removes the device.
LYRIC
No! You control it with your brain, and it speaks for you.
SHIFT
That's how my mouth works.
LYRIC
Yeah, but I was thinking we could make one each for Amalgam's animals, and then -
AMITY
Amalgam can already talk.
LYRIC
Yeah, but then his animals can talk, and ...
AMITY
He IS his animals. They're one being.
LYRIC
You're going to have to explain this again.
SHIFT
I'll get Chronal's diagrams.
THE END

LOL! This almost lets you off the hook of not writing actual Scribblers! Although it doesn't, ultimately, so you know.
And actually, one of those might actually be really useful...
Favourite line: "That's how my mouth works". Although I loved so many of these lines that it was a hard, hard choice.
Tee hee hee! This makes me happy! Also, great Amity pastiche writing dialogue!
