Script

Matt – (sitting at desk) Hello and welcome to CDC News and one of todays top story’s is Humpty Dumpty’s Assassination. From an inside anonymous reporter we receive intelligence that Humpty was assassinated by a king’s men under the kings orders. Lets go to Stan the reporter on the scene of Dumpty's death.

//Cut to reporter//

Stan - (walking toward camera) Hello, thanks matt. We have received evidence that show humpty Dumpty, the public speaker, has been assassinated. A king’s man has been taken in by the police as a suspected murderer however, don’t we all know who is the real murderer? The person in charge of the king’s men? The king himself. But the question we all pose… Why?

Stan – (Random filler shot) We have been given evidence on the murder from an anonymous insider about the assassination and also an eye witness who saw the entire thing. Unfortunately Mary and her little lamb cannot be here to present her evidence however she is happy for us to say it instead. According to Mary, one of the kings men pushed humpty of the wall while he was in the middle of a speech addressing the entire nation about segregation however when the king’s men went to “put him back together again” they were disposing of the evidence, wiping of finger prints and cleaning of skin cells.
