Title: Optometry
Written By Wes Corwin
INT – Room
Camera is pointed at man squinting and covering one eye, looking straight down at a piece of paper. The lens focuses on the first letter, coming in and out of focus.
P1: T…H. I.
…S-I…
S. A…
P2: (off-screen) Okay…
P1 looks down a line further and switches eyes he’s covering.
P1: R…
O-B-B…
E. R. Y.
P2: (off-screen) Okay… Interesting. Do you have short-term memory loss?
Person #1 is amazed, uncovering both eyes.
P1: Wow, yes! You can tell that from a vision test?
P2: No, sir. I’m robbing your bank.
Camera flips to person 2, standing outside of a bank teller’s window, wearing a mask.
Camera flips back to person 1 who is reading the note again, covering the original eye.
P1: T…H. I.
The End
