INT. HALLWAY
- DAY
A leaflet falls through the letterbox on a front door.
A
man walks over and picks it up. This man is the GOLFER, a tall man wearing a
green golf shirt, hat, shoes and shorts.
The man sees a large headline on the
newspaper and gasps - it reads "$10,000,000 prize offered at Golfing
Championship". The Golfer clearly becomes excited and nods decisively.
EXT. GARDEN
- DAY
The Golfer carefully places the golf ball on a tee in his
back garden.
The garden is very large with flat, green, freshly-cut grass, a
pond and a single tree at the end and fencing all around the garden obscuring
the view outside. At the end of his garden, the Golfer has very badly dug a
hole for the golf ball to land into which is clearly too large.
The Golfer swings carefully then hits the golf ball. The ball
misses the hole and lands in a tree.
The Golfer GROANS LOUDLY.
We cut to the Golfer trying again. This time he hits the golf
ball into the pond.
The Golfer then hits the ball again. It's clear in
his aim
that he is frustrated and not putting much effort into it. The ball
knocks over a garden gnome. The Golfer gives a fed-up look and SIGHS
LOUDLY.
Next the Golfer hits the ball over the fence. We hear the sound of the ball hitting an old woman and a car which crashes.
The golfer growls angrily. The Golfer then calms down and
looks at the golf hole again. He
sighs then proceeds to try one more time. This time he aims much more carefully
with greater precision. He hits the ball and it finally goes into the golf
hole. The Golfer cheers and shouts excitedly, then looks at his newspaper again
feeling much happier.
EXT. PLAYING
FIELD - DAY
The big day has arrived. Another GOLFER has just taken a shot
but the ball lands too far from the hole. The other golfer cries loudly in
anger and hurries off. Our Golfer simply laughs as he starts taking his place
in
preparation for his perfect shot. A large crowd is seen behind him sitting in
stadium seating.
The Golfer
is looking very nervous as he prepares his perfect shot. He keeps moving
hesitantly as if he is unsure at what moment to hit the ball.
The Golfer finally hits the ball. There is complete silence.
The ball hits the ground after a prolonged silence. It moves
its way around the golf hole. Everyone is watching. Finally the golf ball lands
in the hole. The crowd cheers and the Golfer cheers loudest of all.
The Golfer takes out a leaflet showing a picture of a
mansion up for sale, making it clear how the Golfer plans to use his
prize money.
Suddenly, the sounds of cheering start to fade. Also Sprach
Zarathustra by Richard Strauss plays.
Unknown to the Golfer, the golf ball emerges out of
the golf hole again, moving very, very slowly. The golf ball is riding on a GOPHER.
The Gopher brings the ball back up to the surface again in a
shot referencing the opening of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Gopher watches the Golfer, looking happy and looking forward to having his revenge.
EXT. MANSION - DAY
We see the Mansion on top of a large hill, with a "Just Sold" sign outside.
The Gopher watches from nearby, looking very pleased
with himself. Behind him there is a crate of TNT. He holds up two wires
and connects them together.
The entire mansion suddenly explodes.
The Golfer walks up, holding the keys to his new
mansion. He screams when he sees the mansion is no longer there - the
Golfer has now got his comeuppance.
