Storyboard a Joke

1: visuals- a family of two women and a man in a waiting room. One woman lays her head on the second woman's lap. She cries silently. The sitting woman strokes her hair to comfort her. The man is hunched over. All look exhausted and solemn. SFX- quiet crying, breathing.
2: The doctor enters the waiting room and clears her throat to get their attention, as they are clearly far away in their worry. SFX: sounds of throat clearing.
3: The sitting woman looks up, alert.
4: The laying woman sniffs and looks up. SFX: sniffling.
5: The man looks up and straightens his back. He sighs. SFX: impatient sigh.
6: The doctor explains that "The only hope left for your loved one at this
time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure,
semi-risky, and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."



7: The sitting woman covers her mouth and quietly says "dear god." SFX: woman's voice.
8: The laying girl begins to panic and cry, trying her best to say quiet. SFX: heavy breathing, whimpers.
9: The man grimaces and swears. SFX: man's voice saying "shit" or "Jesus"
10: The doctor has an apologetic expression.
11: The man sighs and thinks for a moment.
12: The man says "okay well what does it cost?"
13: The doctor explains that a male heart would cost $5000...
14: however, she goes on, a female heart would cost only $200 SFX: doctor's voice
15: the man snickers and covers his mouth to stifle the noise. SFX: snicker.
16: the sitting woman glares at him and makes an annoyed noise. SFX: grunt.
17: the man looks at the sitting woman innocently.
18: he snickers again, turning his face away.
19: the sitting woman rolls her eyes.
20: the man covers his face, continuing to stifle laughter.
21: the sitting woman groans "Just ask already."
22: The man happily asks the doctor why a female heart costs less. SFX: man's voice.
23: the doctor smiles at his childish question.
24: the doctor, her voice full of snark, replies that "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have
to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've been
 used."
25: the man looks embarrassed
26: the girl, who up to this point hasn't said a word, suddenly flips over and, in the vein of Regular Show, goes "OHHHHHHH"
27: The sitting woman laughs, her mood brightened.
28: The doctor, pleased with herself, points with both hands and says "ayyyy"
