Screenplay: The Goddens Prologue: "The Nun Priest's Tale".

 

CURTAIN ON EMPTY DARKENED STAGE.


AUDIO(OFF SCREEN),


DISPATCHER: “Suspect peeing on statue of General Edie. Request units intervene forthwith. Forty-seven, respond.”


“Forty-seven? Are you Ten One Hundred?”


“Forty-seven?”


“Forty-seven!”


A MALE VOICE ON RADIO(in ecstacy): “Yes.”


Dispatcher: “Yes?”


MALE VOICE: “Oh yes.”


Dispatcher: “Forty-seven.”


MALE VOICE: “Yes.”


Dispatcher: “Forty-seven, respond!”


MALE VOICE: “Uhm, right, Dispatch. Responding forthwith.”

Sound of car cranking and then speeding off into the distance.


Lights come up and a twenty-something blonde comes on stage, shyly smiling.
