Your-Dogs-Will-Die

The scene is in an upper middle class neighborhood. Neighbor #1 is throwing away the rubbish and happens to hear Neighbor#2 watering the lawn. He climbs to peek over the perimeter wall. Neighbor#2’s large Alsatian guard dogs sometimes bark loudly for no reason at night and this noise disturbs the surrounding neighbors.

Neighbor #1: Hi, you must be the new fellow who just moved in.

Neighbor#2: Yes, I am.

Neighbor #1: Oh my name is Vignesh. (Offers to shake hands)

Neighbor#2: My name is Baldeep. (Shakes hands)

Neighbor #1: You moved in like what? Last week? How do you like it here so far?

Neighbor#2: It is good. The children likes playing around in this big house and there is more privacy for me and the missus, you know?

Neighbor #1: Yeah, sure. I understand this.

Both men become silent for a few seconds.

Neighbor #1: Listen, I’m practicing for a “rich home owner “ movie part audition next week. Could you give me a few minutes to help me practice now?

Neighbor#2: I don’t know, maybe. What do I have to do?

Neighbor #1: Oh, nothing much. Just say what it is you feel like saying to my character. All right?

Neighbor#2: Ok, sure. I’ll help.

Neighbor #1: (Smiles) Ok, great. Now let’s start.

Neighbor#2: (Nods) Yeah, ok.

Neighbor #1: (Clears his throat) Eheemm, eehheem. Hey there.

Neighbor#2: Yeah hi.

Neighbor #1: (Suddenly changes to an angry facial expression) Sometimes your dogs are too noisy at night! I can’t sleep because of this and I’m pretty sure other neighbors are upset about this too.

Neighbor#2: (With a surprised face) Oh, I am sorry. What can I do?

Neighbor #1: Please shut them up. They will make me lose millions of dollars if I can’t sleep. Your dogs are being ridiculous. You shut them up or I will have them killed.

Neighbor#2: Oh yeah? Why don’t you move to another place then?

Neighbor #1: Look here a**hole (Point to neighbor#2’s face). I have been staying here for almost 20 years. Who the f**k do you think you are asking me to leave? You’re going to ask all other surrounding neighbors to leave too because of your retarded dogs?

Neighbor#2: (Makes an irritated face) Mummers to himself.

Neighbor #1: (Points again at Neighbor#2’s face) You manage your dogs so I won’t lose any millions or I will kill them. Do you understand me?

Neighbor#2: Yeah, ok. F**k you.

Neighbor #1: No, f**k you! (Points again at Neighbor#2’s face) You can stay at that house a**hole (points to neighbor's house), but your dogs will be dead if you don’t shut them up. We clear?

Neighbor#2: Yeah, ok. F**k you. (Points again at Neighbor#1’s face)

Neighbor #1: Man, you’re as retarded as your dogs. (Now facing sideways and says with a bemused face)

Neighbor#2: (Still with an irritated face)

Neighbor #1: Your-dogs-will-die (Forwards his face to Neighbor#2).

Both men become silent again for a few seconds.

Neighbor #1: (Changes back to friendly neighbor) So how was my acting?

Neighbor#2: (Looking confused)

Neighbor #1: Yo man, I gotta go. Thanks for helping me practice! Good to have you here. (Smiles and offers hand shake).

Neighbor#2: (Still looking confused, looks at Neighbor#1’s hand, and gives an irritated face)

Neighbor #1: (Looks at Neighbor#2’s irritated face and withdraws handshake offer) No? Ok, take care. Welcome to the neighborhood! (Walks away and waves his hands in the air)

Neighbor#2: (Looking confused)
