A QUASI ORCHESTRAL TUNE FILLS
THE RECORDING STUDIO
VOCALISTS of varying ages and
colors stand around a microphone, wearing headphones, moving to
the rhythm. The MUSIC is heartfelt, touching and full of soul.
A CONDUCTOR raises his arms
directing the VOCALISTS to HUM a complimentary harmony. As the
music builds, the conductor points to the lead vocalist:
|
| .......... |
..........LEAD
VOCALIST |
|
You’ve only got one heart to live on/
You got to keep it going strong/ Load up on all the good things/
To stay young your whole life long...
|
.......... |
|
The Conductor goes big with his arms for the
chorus:
|
|
..........ALL
THE VOCALISTS
|
|
It’s your heart and you know you need
it/ And you that know you need to feed it/ Healthy Buns Mayonnaise/
WE KEEP GOOD TASTE AT HEART!
|
|
|
The Conductor points to the GOSPEL VOCALIST
who belts out:
|
|
..........GOSPEL
VOCALIST

|
Hey, mayHEYHEYayyohhnnaise...

The music ends. The conductor turns TO CAMERA.
In casual business suit, loose tie and tame hair, WES MOORE, late
20s, tries to appease the corporate rat race, while staying true
to his artistic roots. He’s doing a bad job of both.
TITLE UNDER WES: “THE ARTIST”
REVERSE ON the booth where a BURLY ENGINEER
and THREE AD EXECS wait. Engineer gives Wes the thumbs up. The LEAD
EXEC is in his 50s, sporting a thousand dollar suit. Zeus slumming
with us mortals. MITCH MCADAM. He’s flanked by a WELL-DRESSED
GEEK and a POWER LESBIAN. Mitch gets on the talk back mike.

Wes, that was liquid dynamite. Thank you.

|
..........WES
|
|
Thank you, sir. For letting me tap into my
love for mayonnaise and turn it into a thing the whole world can
enjoy.

|
..........MITCH
|
|
We’ll be waiting in your office...
|
|
Wes waves. The suits nod as they EXIT the
booth. Wes turns back to the singers, who have already removed their
headphones and are getting ready to leave.
|
|
..........WES
|
|
Great job, everybody. See you when Healthy
Buns Butter hits the shelves...
