Panda and Castle Sketch A Brief Sketch by Amaryllis Graybill Created in May, 2010 Characters: Big Panda Little Panda Chubby Panda Buff Panda Panda w/ Hat Ninja Scene: Several pandas are collected together, wandering around in a bedroom. The furniture in the room is all much larger than the pandas, even Big Panda. The pandas seem bored. Suddenly, Little Panda notices something. Little Panda: Squeak! All the other pandas look around. Little Panda is indicating a box overflowing with candy. The other Pandas start getting excited. They all start bouncing over to the box. Ninja: Hey! A set of hands come out from above. Ninja: That's my candy! Large feet appear as the hands from above scoop the box of candy away. Ninja: If you want any candy, you'll have to buy some from me. This candy is for my school fundraiser. Any of you have a dollar for a candy bar? The pandas look put upon. Chubby Panda fiddles with paws. Ninja: No? OK. You won't get any, then, I'm afraid. The large feet disappear off the screen. Chubby Panda mocks ninja. He waves his paws and acts huffy. Stomps around in a circle, brandishing an imaginary box. Panda with Hat pokes Chubby Panda, then shakes his finger. All pandas' heads droop. Buff Panda: Chuff, chuff, chuff. Rubs at eyes with paw. Little panda walks over and pats Buff Panda on shoulder. Little Panda: Chitter, chitter, squeak. Buff Panda nods head. Tissue descends from above. Big Panda wiggles tissue. Buff Panda sniffs at tissue, then nibbles at a corner. Little Panda: Squeak?! Chitterchitterchitterchitter- Buff Panda: Squeak? Buff Panda continues to nibble at tissue. Other pandas begin to sniffle. Little Panda's ears wiggle. Little Panda scrambles up to Big Panda's ear. Little Panda: Squeak squeak squeak... Big Panda: Squeak. Big Panda wanders out of camera view. Loud metal scraping noises eminate from out of view. Eventually, a metal desk is pushed on to the scene, followed by Big Panda. Little Panda scrambles on to the desk. Little Panda: Squeak! Other pandas turn to look. Little Panda brandishes a laser pointer that seems to have come out of no where. Little Panda places paws and pointer behind his back and begins to pace back and forth across the desk. Intro theme from 'The Great Escape' movie starts playing. Little Panda: Squeak. Squeak, squeak squeak squeak. SQUEAK-squee. Little Panda whips out pointer on emphasised words. Little Panda stands silent for a moment, watching all the eyes of the other pandas wtching the pointer. Little Panda whips pointer behind back again. All pandas' eyes follow the pointer behind Little Panda's back. The pandas continue to stare at the area of chest that the pointer is behind. Little Panda: Hrm-hrm. All the pandas look up. Little Panda pulls out a sheet of paper and begins to write on it furiously. Big Panda leans over slightly to see what Little Panda is writing. Little Panda leans back and lifts up the sheet of paper. Buff Panda: Ooohh...... Panda with Hat: Aahhh... Chubby Panda: Tookee too kee. Big Panda looms over Chubby Panda. Chubby Panda: Hrm-hrm. Oo-oh.... The sheet of paper that Little Panda is holding up depicts a crudely drawn stickman-ninja, a rectangle of paper with a dollar sign scratched into it, and a box with 'Kaaandi' written on to it. Little Panda: Squeak! All Pandas: Squeak! Camera cuts to pandas standing around the base of a lawn mower. A large pair of feet appear. Ninja: I think you're a little small for that. Buff Panda: Hrrrrm! Hrrrrm!! Ninja: Um, I don't think even you can move that. Chubby Panda: Whrwhrwhrwhr WH-yR. Chubby Panda mocks ninja with waving hands. Panda with Hat elbows Chubby Panda. Panda with Hat: Yerp. Chubby Panda: Mmmm... Big Panda leans over and starts nibbling at the grass. Ninja: Haaaa... I don't think you can mow the grass by eating it all. That's a lot of grass. Pandas gather into a little circle and start chittering to each other. Little Panda: Squeak! Little Panda points out of view. Pandas follow finger. They all start getting excited. All the pandas race off screen, then come back on carrying a watering can. Little Panda: Squeak! Little Panda looks up at Ninja. A crack of thunder is heard. It starts raining.

The sign has a drawing of a car with little animals inside of it. Above the drawing is written: Rides! 5¢ Soon, various animals start appearing. They walk up to Little Panda, give him a nickel,or in the case of the seals, a handful of pennies, and then proceed to be tugged around by Big Panda. Animals: Whee! Soon, it appears to have been a long day. No more animals are showing up for a ride, and Big Panda is panting heavily. Little Panda: Squeak! Little panda walks around and pats all of the pandas on the back. Squeak, he says to each of them. A large pair of shoes walk into the frame. Ninja: Wow, you guys look tired. What have you been up to? Little Panda: Squeak sque- Chubby Panda: SQUEAK squea- Buff Panda: chitterchitterchitterchitter Big Panda: SQUARK. There is a deep silence for a few seconds. Ninja: I see. Well, um, how would you guys like a candy bar? All the pandas' eyes brighten up. They all dive for the pile of coins, then push it over to Ninja. Ninja: Oh, hey! You managed to earn some money after all. I was just going to give you candy bars, but this is great! I really appreciate this. Two large hands reach down and scoop the cooins from the midst of the triumphantly posing pandas. The hands disappear off screen for a moment, then reappear with several candy bars.
