INT. PLAIN BACKGROUND NO OBVIOUS LOCATION

Pink ball rolls across camera
Red ball rolls out of shot
An extreme close up on the red ball
A wider shot reveals the blue ball slowly following him
They both roll into a new shot in which I seesaw can be seen
Using the seesaw the blue ball is flung into the air
The red ball goes off the scene and brings back a screw in
which the blue ball is meant to land on
A shot is shown of the blue ball in outer space
Then the blue ball falls back down to earth and narrowly
misses the screw
They then both roll into a new scene in which inaudible angry
dialogue can be heard from both of them
This frustration leads to the red ball jumping on top of the
blue ball
The blue ball morphs back into a circle and the argument
continues
The red ball pulls out a gun and shoots the blue ball
The blue ball starts to bleed out
The sounds of an ambulance can be heard which leads to two
green balls coming onto the scene with a stretcher
After he is taken away the red ball is left alone
A hand then comes in and picks up the red ball like a claw
A new camera angle shows that he is being placed into a jail
cell.
