Dinosaur Office: Sick Day

By

Kevin Corrigan, Brian Murphy & Caldwell Tanner

          INT. OPERATING ROOM

          DR. CARNIVOX is an eye-patch wearing raptor with a beautiful
          head of hair. NURSE MARIA, the same model as Emilia but
          brunette, is frantic. They are both wearing doctor uniforms.

                              DR. CARNIVOX
                    I'm not who you think I am, Maria.
                    I'm my brother.

          He takes his eye patch off. Maria gasps. They kiss.

          INT. CRAIG'S LIVING ROOM

          Craig, wearing slippers on his rear feet and a robe, sits on
          the couch watching TV. He is eating a bowl of Fibersaurus
          Cereal and drinking a mug of coffee.

                              CRAIG
                    Don't listen to him Maria, he'll
                    only break your heart.

          His phone rings. Craig groans, then answers.

          Cut to: TODD in the office.

                              TODD
                    Hey, Craig. Heard you were sick. Do
                    you have a 24 hour stomach bug?
                    There's one going around.

          Back to Craig.

                              CRAIG
                    Can't talk. Faked sick to see
                    Dinosaur Hospital finale. Getting
                    steamy. Gotta go.

          Craig hangs up. Cut back to TV.

          INT. OPERATING ROOM

          Maria holds a gun to Dr. Carnivox.

                              NURSE MARIA
                    I should've pushed you into that
                    volcano instead of your brother.

                              DR. CARNIVOX
                    Who says you didn't?

          Dr. Carnivox puts the eyepatch on. She gasps. They kiss.

          INT. CRAIG'S LIVING ROOM

          Craig does a spit take with a mouth full of cereal.

                              CRAIG
                    Whaaaaat!

          The phone rings. Craig grunts as he answers.

          Cut to: Sheila in the office.

                              SHEILA
                    Craig. I'm so worried about you. Do
                    you have a temperature? Are you
                    staying properly hydrated?

          Back to Craig, trying to concentrate.

                              SHEILA (O.C.)
                    Flat soda can calm an upset
                    stomach. Eat soup. Keep your legs
                    elevated. We'll get through this,
                    Craig.

          Craig hangs up on her. He's on the edge of his seat, mouth
          agape. We hear ad-libbed dialogue from the TV. The phone
          rings. Craig looks at it, then back to the TV, and back to
          the phone. Caller ID reads "Boss". He huffs and answers it. 

          Cut to: TERRY in the office.

                              TERRY
                    Hi, Craig. How you feelin'?

          Cut to: OTS shot of Craig. We see the action on the TV, but
          the sound is drowned out by Craig and Terry's conversation.
          Two identical raptors wearing eyepatches swordfight. Craig
          is trying very hard to concentrate on the show. He coughs.

                              CRAIG
                    Not good. I should go. Experiencing
                    flu-like symptoms.

                              TERRY (O.C.)
                    Somebody should have gotten a flu
                    shot! You know what they say,
                    prevention is the best medicine.

          Back to head-on shot of Craig with no TV.

                              CRAIG
                    Good advice. Gotta get rest. Bye.

                              TERRY (O.C.)
                    Wait, real quick. What's the name
                    of that guy who sits next to you?

          Back to OTS. Dr. Carnivox, wearing two eyepatches and
          holding Maria's hand, runs from the hospital and dives as
          the building explodes.

                              CRAIG
                    Todd.

                              TERRY (O.C.)
                    Ohhh Todd of course! (beat) Huh. I
                    had a question about Todd, but now
                    I can't remember.

          Back to head-on shot of Craig.

                              TERRY (O.C.)
                    What. was. it. about. 

          Sweat pours down Craig's face.

                              TERRY (O.C.)
                    OH YEAH! Do you know Todd's email
                    address?

                              CRAIG
                    Ask Todd!

          Craig hangs up the phone. He turns back to the TV. The
          credits are running. Craig looks on in disbelief. Beat.

                              CRAIG
                    NOOOOOOOO!

          We hear a TV ANNOUNCER.

                              TV ANNOUNCER (O.C.)
                    And next up, the Price is Rawr!

                              CRAIG
                    Now I'll have to figure out how to
                    watch it on the Internet.

          End.
