Claws in Crisis: Galadriel Daufresne’s Lobster Comedy Sketch

INT. WATER TANK - NIGHT


We see a shot of a boat. Cuts to a water tank in the boat's

restaurant with two lobsters, LOBSTER 1, who's the more put

together of the two, and LOBSTER 2, who goes along with

anything Lobster 1 says. They are having a rather panicked

conversation.


       

LOBSTER 1

         AHHHHHH!


LOBSTER 2

         Why are you yelling, bro?

             

LOBSTER 1

         The humans are preparing to eat us!

                   

LOBSTER 2

         Oh... AHHHHHH.

                   

LOBSTER 1(SNIFFLING)

         I had a wife. Kids. A good life.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         I can't believe this is it. I had so

         much planned for my life.

                   

LOBSTER 1

         Oh, Noreen. I'll never see her again.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         I'll never get to be a singer.

                   

LOBSTER 1

         Damn net! I can't believe I fell for

it.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         It's ok man, happens to the best of

         us. My granddad was taken last Monday.

                   

LOBSTER 1

         Oh no, I'm so sorry.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         Sorry about Noreen.

                   

HUMAN 1(O.S)

         Oh, I love Bach!

     

HUMAN 2(O.S)

         A dance to it then, my dear?

                   

LOBSTER 1

         Noreen would've hated this stupid

         music they're playing.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         And the stupid food - wait, is that

         salmon they're serving?!

                   

LOBSTER 1

             (disgusted by the sight)

         Sammy my salmon friend was taken last

         week. I bet you that's him on that

         plate right there.

                   

LOBSTER 2

              (exclamation)

         Bro, the human is coming towards us!

         We're doomed! AHHHHHH!


LOBSTER 1

AHHHHHH-


A loud boom is heard and the tank rattles, they abruptly stop

screaming.

                   

LOBSTER 1

              (with a sudden sense of calm)

         Wait.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         Dude, what was that?

                   

HUMAN 3 (O.S)

         I ask that everyone remains calm and

         seated while I explain, please!

                   

LOBSTER 1

         The boat. I think it hit something.

         The humans - they're yelling. They're

         panicking.

                   

LOBSTER 2

         Can you hear what they're saying?


Lobster 1 smushes his face to the glass.


LOBSTER 1

         Something about an iceberg...

          

LOBSTER 2

         Yoo! Icebergs are cool, man.

          

HUMAN 4 (O.S)

         JACK! Has anyone seen Jack? Excuse me,

         have you seen Jack?

          

LOBSTER 2

         What the hell is a Jack?


LOBSTER 1

         Shhh!


LOBSTER 2

               (whispering loudly)

         What the hell is a Jack?

          

LOBSTER 1

         Wait a second, now they're really

         panicking.

          

HUMAN 5(O.S)

         Run for the boats, the titanic is

         flooding! She's going down!

          

LOBSTER 1

               (exclamation)

        YOOOOOO!

          

LOBSTER 2

        YOOOOO! Bro, does that mean-

          

LOBSTER 1

       We're saved! The humans fucked it up!

       Karma, you overfishing, ocean

       exploiting assholes!

          

LOBSTER 2

       YEAH! NATURE WINS BRO!

          

LOBSTER 1

               (with evident relief)

       I've never been so happy that humans

       boil us alive to eat us.

          

LOBSTER 2

       RIP our fishy friends.

                   

LOBSTER 1

        Oh, Sammy. We will remember you!

                   

LOBSTER 2

              (yelling to the humans)

        Screw you motherfuckers, you and your

        big fancy boat!

                   

LOBSTER 1

        And your shitty fancy music!

                   

LOBSTER 2

        And your shitty notion that seafood is

        fancy food!

                   

LOBSTER 1

        I'm coming back for you, Noreen!

                   

LOBSTER 2

        I'm gonna be a singer!


The room floods, cut to-


INT. OCEAN FLOOR - NIGHT


The ship has sunk. Pieces of the ship float down to the ocean

floor as Lobster 2 sings "My Heart Will Go On" and Lobster 2

reunites with his wife, Noreen.
