SCENE 26
INT – BLACKSMITH SHOP
(BLACKSMITH, JIMMY)
A GRAYING OLD BESPECTACLED BLACKSMITH IS CHECKING HIS HAMMERS WHILE STANDING BEHIND THE COUNTER. THE BLACKSMITH IS THE SAME ACTOR AS ZORBON.
BLACKSMITH
One. Two. Three. Three hammers. Ah ah ah.
A RHYTHMIC THUMPING OUTSIDE GROWS LOUDER AND LOUDER UNTIL THE OLD BLACKSMITH CAN SEE A SHADOW ON THE WALL OF A CREATURE WITH A HIDEOUSLY LARGE FOOT.
BLACKSMITH
Oh my god! It's the hideous freak! The townspeople were right!
THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CLICHÉ DRAMA AND SLOW MOTION AS THE DOOR OPENS AND JIMMY WALKS IN, WITH HIS FOOT STILL IN THE TOILET. HE HAD BEEN CASTING THE WEIRD SHADOW.
JIMMY
I need a sledgehammer.
