CHARACTER #Javan

Bring it on!
(Assumes a on all fours stance in the middle of the carpet)

from side-to-side.

move and they rush at Javan simultaneously but are knocked
back by powerful blows/pushes.
Now David and Seth attack, with the same results. Seth flops
back onto the sofa and David into a pile of clean, freshly
washed clothes, scattering them across the floor.
Several waves are repelled by Javan; he starts to show signs
of tiring.
The attackers smell blood, for the first time they all rush at
once!
Once more, they are pushed back, but Javan falters and Noah
remains atop his back, hanging on for dear life. Noah is
laughing manically!
David dives in to support his brother and Lois to help her
friend.
Seth is seen sneaking behind Javan, just in shot.
With Noah on his back and David and Lois on each arm, Javan is
fully occupied.

~ 7 ~
Seizing this opportunity, Seth attacks from the rear, narrowly
dodging a scything kick from Javan and jumps on top of Noah,
adding further weight to Javans back.
CUT TO:
Stella, Olga and Dawn are enjoying a nice cup of tea with some
biscuits. In the background, loud animalistic grunts are heard
but they ignore them. The radio is playing the Archers theme
song.
CUT TO:
The loud grunts continue as Javans energy is being sapped,
David and Lois have pinned his shoulders and arms to the
ground. Noah and Seth keep the rest of him from moving. Javan
is still.
Like a tsunami after the quiet of the retreating tide, Javan
violently erupts like a once dormant volcano! Seth, Lois,
David and Noah go flying in all directions, arms and legs in
the arms. Javan is roaring like an angry lion.
CUT TO:
Stella, smiles, points to the door and walks out of the
kitchen.
CUT TO:
(POV) Javan is on floor. Stella is towering above, with a face
like thunder.
Just on the edge of shot, the garden door opens and Phil half
enters then quickly retreats, gently closing the door.
David is spread out on the floor panting.
Noah is upside down, head buried in the pile of clean, freshly
washed clothes.
Lois head is peeking out from behind the curtains, her face
is flushed red.
Seth is hiding in the corner with a Horrible Histories
comic/book covering his face, he is trying to stay
inconspicuous.
Javan sneaks a look at David, David replies with a worriedgrimace.

he has fallen into a (hidden) pit. The others rush over to
help him up.

corner of a buried sink.

coat onto the banister as he walks past. He looks at the table
piled high with clothes, bulging folders and other items.
David launches himself onto the bench against the wall on the
left hand side of the table. He starts to drum a beat with his
hands on the table.

side. He is tapping a tune on the table, with his fingers.

side. They are sitting beneath the bookshelves. On the
bookshelves are Video Game cases and board game boxes. They
are swaying in time to Seth and Davids tapping.

CHARACTER #Old Seaman
Have you never heard of the famous Reuben Shark! A long time
ago, a great white swam up the Thames, there was a young boy
who was swimming, the shark, smelling blood, tried to eat him.
But the boy was very clever and hit the shark on the nose! The
shark swam away in a grumpy mood, from then on, the shark
tried to eat any swimmer in the Thames. Many people call him
the Reuben Shark, if you fall in the water, dont make any
splashes or he will hear you! Javan, get back to work!!!
CHARACTER #Javan
(Swabs deck with dirty mop.)
*Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirates life for me*
It is now midnight and Javan is still swabbing the deck. He is
slightly upset as everyone-else has gone below to their
bunks/berths.
He is venting his frustration by angrily using the mop to hit
the deck with a more then necessary force.
The mop gets stuck in a rut, in Javans over-eagerness, he
pulls the mop stick from the still stuck mop head, causing him
to fly over the rails.
He splashes around in the water.
CHARACTER #Javan
Help! Man over-board!
CHARACTER #Old Seaman
Pipe down or youll have the shark down on us!!!
CHARACTER #Reuben Shark
(Shark attack)
