Bjorn Sketch Script

CUT

The camera looks across the landscape of the Norse Lands.

BEAT

[BJORN]

Uh…Hello.

The camera quickly pans left and right before returning to its original position.

BEAT

[BJORN]

Down here.

The camera looks down.

[BJORN]

Took you long enough. Now the South yes that place. Uhhh…now that place.

Bjorn looks to his left.

[BJORN]

So, as you may have noticed about my person is the presence of this yere axe. Crafted by myself you
know. I consider my craft the best in the realm why I was blessed by Thor himself for my meticulous
skills. See these runes? Very special.

Bjorn approaches the camera and holds the axe close showing the runes.

[BJORN]

Folks like them Berserkers like to think that all muscle and a simple sword or axe will go a long way to
succeed in combat. Pah! Craft is important as much as tactics. When I get to the shores of ‘Normandee’
or whatever I’ll show everyone true skill.
Bjorn laughs.

[BJORN]

Y’know as much as a want to demonstrate my skill I do wish to explore that place further south:
‘Grees’. I wish to bare witness the knowledge of the legendary Spartans.

Bjorn grins as he bears his axe.

BEAT

[BJORN]

I mean yeah strength is important why I was even raised by bears in my youth…

Bjorn pauses and a look of annoyance forms on him.

[BJORN]

Yes, I know about my height but its not an issue.

BEAT

[BJORN]

I don’t need a polear-

BEAT

[BJORN]

(Angrily) I am not a dwarf as the legends say you ignoramus and if you preach such nonsense again I
will-

[HENDRIK]

Hey shorty. You said were an expert craftsman; the best in the land!

[BJORN]
 I’m not a dwarf you –!

The camera cuts abruptly to Bjorn.

[BJORN]

So…yeah, my axe…um.

BEAT

[BJORN]

To compensate for my stature and prove my worth as a warrior I decided to take on this raid. For I
am not one to fear getting the shorter straw. I fear no scrawny, inferior Southerner to cut me short-

The camera abruptly cuts to the next interview taking place.
