TEXT: BOB IN: The Puppet Master

{Interior - lounge room. Bob (Graham) is sitting on a couch, arms folded and looking generally annoyed}

BOB: {irritated} I hate everything.

{Paul stands up from behind the couch, holding a puppet on his right hand.}

PAUL: {cheery} Hey Bob. You're looking down. You know what I do when I'm feeling down? I talk to Mr. Happy Puppy. It'll make you feel better. Isn't he cute?

BOB: A puppet!? {He grabs the puppet out of Paul's hand and throws it onto the couch. Paul backs away} Don't toy with me. Get out!

PAUL {scared} Sorry, sorry. {exits}

{Bob crosses his arms again, and briefly looks over to the puppet}

BOB: {mockingly} Mr. Fluffy Puppy... {picks up the puppet, waving it in front of his face} Look at me, I'm Mr. Fluffy Puppy. {He puts the puppet on his hand, plays with it for a moment}

BOB (as puppet): {calm} Why are you such a jerk, Bob?

{camera cuts to behind Bob, zooms in on puppet}

BOB (as puppet): Is it that knot of pain lodged deep inside you? Why not just let it go? Is it really so hard? {whispering} Or are you just afraid?

{cut back to front shot of Bob}

BOB: {back to angry} Liar! {he grabs his right arm, still with puppet, and "pins" it to the couch} I'm happy! {starts punching the puppet} I am happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy... {beat} {pained} ughh. {Removes right hand from puppet, and cradles it with his left} Ooh I am such an idiot.
