               Straight To Video

               From the mind of Andrew Roby

               INT. VIDEO STORE - EVENING

               A man stands at the register and two men walk around the
               store. Both men are on opposite sides of the store. They are
               both looking through the tremendous amount of videos that are
               all around.

               Standing in a green shirt and blue jeans, Karl glances at a
               certain section of movies. Karl smiles and walks into a room.
               On the room door reads XXX - Adult Section.

               On the other side of the room stands the other man, he has a
               name tag on that says, Hi! My name is Benny. A sloppy smiley
               face is next to his name.

               The man at the register also has a name tag. It reads, James.
               Benny walks up to James. Benny is in his late twenties. Benny
               stares at James smiling. A rater funny smile but with a
               serious look on his face. He looks at James's name tag.

                                   BENNY
                         Hello James.

               Next to Benny's waist is his hand, holding a gun. James can
               not see it.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT.  ADULT SECTION

               Karl is smiling while looking at the boxes for the porn
               movies. He then looks at his watch. He smiles.

                                   KARL
                         Times up.

               Karl jumps up and down.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. VIDEO STORE

               Karl walks out of the Adult Section. Benny looks over at him
               and smiles. James looks at both of them with a confused look
               on his face.

                                   JAMES
                         Am I missing something?

                                   KARL
                         You sure are!

               Karl walks up to James.

                                   KARL
                         Did you know the average American
                         masturbates every day?

                                   JAMES
                         Bullshit.

               James smiles.

                                   JAMES
                         That's a lie.

               Benny looks James straight in the eyes.

                                   BENNY
                         Are you saying my buddy is a liar?

               James looks at both of them.

                                   JAMES
                         What is going on?

               Benny smiles and holds the gun up to James.

                                   BENNY
                         Are you saying my buddy is a liar?

               Karl jumps up and down and claps.

                                   KARL
                         Shoot him Benny, shoot his fucking
                         brains out.

                                   BENNY
                         Do you want me to shoot your
                         fucking brains out today?

               Benny stares into James's eyes.

                                   JAMES
                         No…

                                   BENNY
                         Then answer my FUCKING question!

               James, shaking, looks over at the camera in the corner of the
               room. Benny looks over at it.

                                   BENNY
                         The camera is not gonna answer your
                         question, James. You are and if you
                         don't I will fucking kill you right
                         here.

                                   JAMES
                         I am not calling him a liar. Please
                         leave the store.

               Benny laughs.

                                   BENNY
                         So do you masturbate everyday
                         James?

                                   JAMES
                         No.

                                   BENNY
                         So he's a liar?

                                   JAMES
                         No.

                                   BENNY
                         That doesn't make sense man. Come
                         on.

               Benny slaps James in the head. James holds his head and looks
               at them.

                                   JAMES
                         Yeah...

                                   BENNY
                         Yeah? Yeah what?

                                   JAMES
                         I masturbate everyday.

               Karl then starts to laugh hysterically.

                                   KARL
                         You like whacking it man?

               James starts to cry. Benny looks at James crying.

                                   BENNY
                         Awh. You gonna cry now?

               A woman then walks in the store. She looks at them. Her name
               is Jessie and she is in her thirties.

                                   JESSIE
                         Shit.

                                   BENNY
                         Don't fucking move!

               Benny points the gun at her. Jessie puts her hands up.

                                   BENNY
                         Get her Karl.

               Karl runs over to her and grabs her. Karl smells her and
               smiles. Benny looks at James.

                                   BENNY
                         Liars must pay.

               Benny then shoots the woman in the head.

                                   JAMES
                         Holy shit! Holy shit!

               Benny quickly points the gun at James.

                                   BENNY
                         Shut the fuck up and calm down!

               James stops.

                                   BENNY
                         Let's see it.

                                   JAMES
                         What?

                                   BENNY
                         Have you masturbated today?

                                   JAMES
                         No.

                                   BENNY
                         Then let's see it.

               James eyes get big.

                                   BENNY
                         Come on. Chop, chop.

               Benny claps his hands.

                                   JAMES
                         Do you want money; I'll give it to
                         you. Anything you want. You can
                         have it.

                                   BENNY
                         No I DO NOT want your money. Do
                         what I fucking told you!

               James gets nervous.

                                   BENNY
                         Do it!

               Karl starts to laugh. James slowly reaches his hand down his
               pants.

                                   BENNY
                         Come on. Let's see it.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. VIDEO STORE

               A man is seen walking towards the video store with a handful
               of videos. He then walks in the doors.

               INT. VIDEO STORE

               The man drops his movies in shock. Benny then shoots James in
               the chest. Benny walks over to the man. He is in his late
               sixties.

                                   BENNY
                         Hello Sir. Sorry I interrupted your
                         movie going experience. We'll leave
                         now.

               Benny and Karl both leave the video store. Karl smiles at the
               man as he walks out. The man stands there with the blankest
               look ever on his face.

               Benny then pops his head in.

                                   BENNY
                         Did you know the average man
                         masturbates every day?

                                   MAN
                         Huh?

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. DIFFERENT VIDEO STORE

               The video store owner is standing watching the TV. The whole
               thing was on TV. The owner laughs. He then looks around the
               store. Two men stand on both sides of the store. They both
               look like Benny and Karl.

                                   OWNER
                         Oh shit.

               THE END
