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…(grunt)…special…

Bjorn bends down and has trouble lifting a large battle axe. He grunts as he lifts and is about to present
the weapon in all its glory before he falls over. The camera abruptly cuts to Bjorn wiping himself down.

[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.
