SCENE 2 -For Sale
EXT: Estate
Black title screen : DAY 1 11.38am
Frank and Charlie are walking down the street and they begin to mess about pushing each other, as Charlie continues Frank stops beside a car. A poster in the car window reads: "CAR FOR SALE £6000". Charlie goes backs to Frank and they both nod at each other, realising that this is the car that they have always wanted. The two jump up and down and hi5 each other, but Frank stops jumping noticing the price of the car. He points at the price of the car to Charlie and they turn out their pockets hoping they have enough on them. They don’t. (Close up of the contents of their pockets: coppers, buttons, gum and a kinder egg and a half eaten cookie. Seeing the cookie Charlie nibbles it as they put the contents back into their pocket. Frank is at first annoyed at Charlie’s disregards for the price of the car as he is more interested in his stale cookie so he knocks it out of Charlie hand, then realises it’s the source of his first cunning idea.
Light bulb graphic as Franks face lights up whilst thinking of his idea.
He picks up the cookie and gives it back to Charlie, then walks out of frame to start on his scheme. Charlie is left in frame and looks around to see if anyone is watching, and then shamelessly continues to nibble the dirty cookie, and he is dragged out of frame by Franks arm.

End.

SCENE 3 - Cookie sales

EXT: Estate

(Doorbell) A door opens from the inside and reveals Frank and Charlie on the doorstep with a tray of cookies stretched out. The pair a smiling broadly yet creepily and are wearing homemade sash spelling 'Brownies' across their dingy clothes.

Both: COOKIES! (SMILING)They rustle the tray towards the camera and the door slams shut on them.

Montage of the same action from outside the house: Frank and Charlie smiling, rustling the tray, door slams in face, them walking to the next house.

Final house, Frank and Charlie are annoyed now at their lack of sales so they try another tactic. At the next house a young girl opened the door and Frank steps up and threatens the girls to buy a cookie ( close up: holding her by the scruff of her neck) . As the door slowly opens behind the girl, Frank looks up and, after seeing the girls 'large' dad staring back, he quickly lets go and pats the girl on the head and fixes her clothes. The dad then growls and draws his arm back to punch Frank, who quickly ducks leaving Charlie to take the punch to the face and he grabs his eye in pain. The dad then grabs the cookies and slams the door shut.

Frank and Charlie walk away from the house. Franks rips off his sash, throws it on the ground, and then walks out of frame angrily. Whilst Charlie is almost crying and rubs his eye in pain he follows out of shot.
