CLASS DISMISSED (Mr Hart)



Today I leave you with the last exercise I wrote, for the CBBC series "Class Dismissed". Mr Hart, is the school nurse but a failed medical student, a crazy hypocondriac lunatic.

INT SCHOOL GYM DAY

A group of CHILDREN are playing football in the gym. MR HART is peeking through the door. Two BOYS bump into each other. One of them falls. MR HART opens the door and runs to BOY 1, pushing a trolley with a sophisticated first aid set. MR HART shouts at BOY 1 while running to him.

MR HART (SHOUTS)
Don’t move! Don’t move!

BOY 1
I’m OK! I’m OK!

MR HART
No you’re not! I saw what happened!

MR HART opens the sophisticated first aid set and gives surgical masks to all the CHILDREN.

MR HART
Put one on!

The CHILDREN hesitate.

MR HART (SHOUTS)
Put them on! Now!
We don’t want to risk septicemia here!

The CHILDREN look to each other and slowly put the masks on.
MR HART Make a safety perimeter!
The CHILDREN move away intrigued. MR HART unfolds an Accident Sign just like the blue ones that Police uses in traffic accidents, but instead of saying Police Accident, it says School Accident. After unfolding it, he gives it to GIRL 1.

MR JONES
You! Put that sign there (points)
and keep people moving!

The GIRL 1 surprised walks with the sign and places it on the floor.

GIRL 1 (TO THE OTHER CHILDREN)
Well... you heard Mr Hart... Keep moving!

The CHILDREN start to move their arms. Some do little jumps in their places. But none are very confident about it.

GIRL 1
That’s it. Keep moving.

BOY 1
Mr Hart... I’m OK. I didn’t even get hurt...

MR HART
Oh no! I saw how you fell!
You don’t feel anything
because you’re in shock!
Eventually you are going to have a cardiac arrest.

BOY 1
No... I’m fine. I’m OK!

MR HART opens another compartment of the sophisticated first aid trolley and takes out a defibrillator. BOY 1 becomes horrified.

BOY 1
What are you doing?!

MR HART
Precautions! (Shouts to his side)
Call 999! Now!

MR HART tests the defibrillator, making it do a sparkling shock, touching the two pads together.

MR HART
It’s OK boy... It’s OK...
I’m here now. (Shouts) Clear!

The BOY 1 stands up and runs away, not giving MR HART a chance to use the defibrillator.
MR HART (SHOUTS) Where are you going?! Come here! You’re in a life threatening condition!

BOY 1 (WHILE RUNNING)
I’m not even dead!

MR HART stands up, making another sparkling shock with pads of the defibrillator. All the kids run out of the gym, except GIRL 1 who is still near the School Accident sign.


MR HART (DISAPPOINTED)
We’ve lost him...

GIRL 1 shrugs and walks in the direction of the gym’s door.

GIRL 1
Keep moving... Keep Moving.
