Script
Skyrim Hoarders
By Emily Axford
NOTE: This is a parody of the TV show "Hoarders."
"Hoarders" Title card with dramatic music.
CUT TO: Glarthir, an Elf, outside of his Breezehome.
GLARTHIR (VO)
(kind of shy and ashamed)
My name is Glarthir. I'm a thief of
the Bosmer race.
Cut to: Glarthir in front of a black backdrop. His name
appears in the lefthand corner in white print.
GLARTHIR
I'm also a Thane of Whiterun.
CUT TO: POV shots inside a Breezehome, items kicked about
and tossed on the floor.
Title card: "The city of Whiterun has threatened to evict
Glarthir."
Cut to: YGGDRASIL, a Nord, standing outside Breezehome. His
name appears in the lefthand corner in white print.
YGGDRASIL
I'm a Warrior Nord, and I’m gonna
help Glarthir clean up his act and
hopefully keep Breezehome.
Cut to:
INT. SKYRIM BREEZEHOME
A third person shot of Yggdrasil, walking through Glarthir's
Breezehome. Yggdrasil looks around. The place is a mess.
YGGDRASIL
Oh, wow. This is... a lot of stuff.
GLARTHIR
Uh, loot. It's actually loot.
YGGDRASIL
Where do you get it all?
GLARTHIR (OC)
(quietly, a bit ashamed)
I stripsearch a lot of dead bodies.
Title card: "Lydia, Glarthir's housecarl, has given him an
ultimatum..." DISSOLVE TO: "Clean up, or she's leaving."
LYDIA
(tearfully, black backdrop)
I mean, I am his sword and shield,
but I can't live in filth anymore.
Cut to: Breezehome. Yggdrasil is walking around. Yggdrasil
sees a pile of Dragon bones.
YGGDRASIL
Why do you need so many dragon
bones?
GLARTHIR (OC)
Oh, you know, so I can make armor.
YGGDRASIL
You're a blacksmith?
GLARTHIR (OC)
...No.
Cut to: Yggdrasil is going through a ton of books.
YGGDRASIL
Surviving a Horker Attack Vol.
2...The Book of the Dragonborn??
GLARTHIR (OC)
Uh, definitely gonna read that
soon. Something about dragons and
some covenant they made. So...
YGGDRASIL
The Lusty Argonian Maid?
Glarthir is embarrassed. Lydia is annoyed.
Title card: "While going through a pile of arrows and bows,
Yggdrasil makes a horrifying discovery"
YGGDRASIL
(pointing to a pile of feces)
It's just a pile of feces.
GLARTHIR
Good for potions. But yeah, I guess
that's gross.
Cut to: Kitchen, going through piles of rotting food.
YGGDRASIL
This clam meat needs to be
refrigerated. What are you even
going to do with all this cabbage?
GLARTHIR (OC)
Fine.
Cut to: Glarthir in third person mode. Glarthir starts
reaching at items unsuccessfully.
GLARTHIR
(clearly lying)
Sorry its just like a little bit
harder to pick up stuff cause I'm
in third person mode. Yah, so...
Title card: "Lydia's presence sends Glarthir into an
obsessive spiral."
Cut to: Upstairs, the master bedroom is filled with garbage
and weapons. Lydia is throwing out a bunch of weapons.
GLARTHIR
(freaking out, to Lydia)
What are you doing?? I need these
in case I ever want to dual-wield.
Title card: "Yggdrasil challenges Glarthir to dig deeper."
Cut to: Yggdrasil looking directly at the camera (Glarthir).
YGGDRASIL
I need you to work with me.
Hesitant pause. The inventory screen comes up and starts to
scroll through his stuff.
GLARTHIR (OC)
(getting panicky)
Ummm, let's see, let's see...
(pausing on iron ore)
...need to hang onto this in case I
find the transmute spell...
(pausing on jewelry)
...gotta save these cause I'm gonna
enchant them. As soon as I increase
my enchanting skill.
(pausing on moldy pile of
National Geographic Magazines)
These are gonna be pretty valuable
someday... I guess I could drop...
uh... erm... this!
A wooden bowl is selected and dropped. A beat. It is picked
back up.
LYDIA
I have a bad feeling about this.
The inventory screen goes away.
GLARTHIR (OC)
Excuse me? I'm a fucking Thane of
Whiterun.
We see two hands appear in the screen, aimed at Lydia.
Title card: "Yggdrasil takes Lydia aside to talk about
Glarthir"
LYDIA
(tearfully)
I guess I just didn't know what I
was getting into when he came and
forced me into his service.
YGGDRASIL
He needs you right now, Lydia.
LYDIA
Well, I am sworn to carry his
burden.
Title card: "The city health inspector has arrived to inspect
Breezehome and decide if it's fit for occupancy."
The City Health Inspector enters Breezehome. It's a bit
cleaner.
CITY HEALTH INSPECTOR
(looking around)
You know, I used to be an
adventurer like you, but then I
took...
Everyone groans and mumbles, thinking he's going to say "an
arrow to the knee."
CITY HEALTH INSPECTOR
(loud, over their grumbling)
...a night class in public health.
I took a night class in public
health. Geez.
END.
