Dog’xploding

Bear & Texas

Richard Neville

2019

INT. FAMILY HOME - NIGHT

FADE IN:

Storyboard 01

Two DOGS sit side by side looking through glass doors at the garden. Inside is well lit. Outside is blackness.

BEAR is a small cute sort of female dog. A little nervy and quick in movements.

TEXAS is a large dignified sort of male dog. Stronger looking, calm and slow moving.

(Every now and then, we glimpse their human OWNER calmly busying around in the background.)

Bear makes fidgety, anxious movements.

Storyboard 02

BEAR

So worried.

Texas regards her calmly.

TEXAS

No worries.

BEAR

I’m so worried.

TEXAS

No worries.

BEAR

with emphasis
Worried.

Texas rolls his eyes and sighs.

TEXAS

Why worry?

Storyboard 03

BEAR

I’m so scared. Shaking.

TEXAS

Scared?

BEAR

Shaking.

TEXAS

You are shaking.

BEAR

Shaking.

TEXAS

What’s troubling you, little dog?

BEAR

I know what tonight is.

Texas regards Bear. Both dogs sit quietly for a moment, facing out towards the garden.

Storyboard 04

Outside, a firework goes BOOM CRACKLE CRACKLE.

Both dogs are startled.

BEAR

terribly frightened
It’s dogs - ‘xplodin.

TEXAS

worried now
Dogs... ‘xploding?

Another bang outside.

TEXAS

suddenly gets it
Dog’xplodin’!!?!?!??

Storyboard 05

BEAR

That’s what happens, big dog.

MONTAGE - FIREWORKS IN THE NIGHT SKY

Each firework gets a comment from Bear.

Storyboard 06

A) A small rocket squeals into the sky and explodes with a single pop.

BEAR

That was a dachshund.

Storyboard 07

B) Three screamers fly up, with three bangs and sparkles.

BEAR

Three... terriers.

Storyboard 08

C) Two rockets fly high, followed by two huge bangs and a shower of golden sparkles.

BEAR

mournfully
A pair of labradoodles.

END MONTAGE

Bear and Texas are huddled up together. One or both of them are shaking with fright.

TEXAS

anxious
I gotta pee.

BEAR

No!

TEXAS

Bursting.

BEAR

Do it on the mat. Please!

Storyboard 09

Texas starts to grope at the door handle, signing to his owners that he wants to go out.

TEXAS

Too... Well... Trained.

Storyboard 10

The Owner unlocks the door and let’s Texas out.

BEAR

Nooooo!!!!

TEXAS

When you’ve got to go little dog...

Texas leaves. The door closes.

Storyboard 11

Bear is left sitting alone on the mat.

A single point of light rises into the night sky...

... Cut to Bear’s face as she watches.

The single point of light goes up and up...

... Reflected in Bear’s widening eyes.

A huge singular firework explodes in the sky.

Storyboard 12

Kaaaa-booooommmm!!! Brr-appp br-app br-aappp.
