Аннотация

«Публикуется в авторской редакции с сохранением авторских орфографии и пунктуации». Сценарий. История молодого человека, выбравшего профессию по ошибке. Саркастический английский юмор, забавные происшествия, место действия Англия,провинциальный городок. Банк. Практически правдивая история. На русском языке сценарий называется Смешная история служащего Английского банка. It is the story of Sean McGuire, a supervisor in a small bank who hates his job and whose quirky sense of humour gets him into constant trouble. Through a strange twist of fate, Sean’s life becomes completely transformed. He wins his dream girl and gets his dream job. The script is original and funny , much in the style of The Full Monty, has the potential to be the pilot episode for a comedy series. Although originally set in England, it would easily adapt to another country. It is the kind of work that would suit the acting style of say, Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler. Содержит нецензурную брань.

INT. OLDSHIRES BANK – BANKING HALL – WIDE SHOT – MORNING

Full window facing on to street.

Adverts on a wall for different financial services.

Big display of tropical plants standing in the corner.

Just a few customers standing at some of the tills.

Four cashiers behind the glass bandit screen. Working at their tills.

PAN ON female cashier. MARGARET. Woman in her mid fifties.

Looking at the entrance door through the glass screen.

Woman pushes pram into banking hall, struggles with the door

and another customer holds it open for her. Woman smiles and

says thanks.

BACK TO SCENE

WIDE SHOT – four cashiers at their tills behind bandit screen.

OUR CHARACTER(V.O.)

Welcome to Oldshires Bank. It is a small branch – only 8 of us

– on the High street of a medium sized market town in the Midlands.

I won’t tell you where in case the buggers decide to sue me.

I will however introduce you to our staff. After all,

it would be impolite not to.

By the way my name is Sean.

Man sat at desk in middle of office, early thirties. Going through

sheets of computer reports ticking off the entries. SAM.

OUR CHARACTER (V.O.)

First of all we have Sam the assistant manager. Sam is a really

good bloke to work with. Really knows his stuff. Dead helpful. His wife is some sort of specialist nurse and works in Dubai most of the time earning a packet. The plan is to save enough dough so she can have a baby without having to worry about going back to work afterwards. Unfortunately his dodgy football allegiances mean he can never be totally trusted. He's a City fan.

FLASHBACK – EXT. FOOTBALL STADIUM – CROWD SECTION

Football match in progress.

Sam dressed in blue replica football shirt with blue scarf. Others in shot dressed similar.

From O.S. OPPOSING FANS SHOUTS "GOAL!"

Sam and other blues fans groan and shake their heads in disappointment.

OUR CHARACTER (V.O.)

If you want to ruin his day just ask him what was he doing the last time City won a trophy. He was in his pram soiling his nappy I believe.

SAM'S DESK (BACK TO PRESENT)

Sam answers telephone.

SAM

Good morning, Oldshires bank. Sam speaking. How can I help you?
