Page 8 - FOOD FIGHT SCREENPLAY

Old ROOT VEGETABLES sit in their rocking chairs, killing
time, whittling sticks under the shade of their porches.
A line of FRUIT and VEGETABLES wait patiently with their
buckets and bowls, queuing for their water rations.
A large, sweaty, BURRITO GUARD turns a small tap on the back
of a huge Water Tanker, rationing out meagre portions of
water.
CHRIS CARROT passes the General Store. A rickety old wooden
shack that leans to one side.
Hanging outside on lines of string - bowls, buckets,
lanterns, flip flops and used T-shirts with Junk Food logos.
An advertising sign featuring a SMILING CUPCAKE informs us
they sell Lottery Tickets.
Further along the street, a BLACKBERRY wearing thick glasses, repairs discarded mobile phones, radios and TVs in his shack.
A CELERY gets a trim from a RADISH Barber, standing on a box. Across the street outside the ‘TIRE SHACK’ piles of cheap retreads being sold by an EGGPLANT holding a tire iron.
The flame from a welding torch lights up a gloomy garage as a TOMATO wearing safety goggles patches up a tired old truck. GORGEOUS
Outside a garage stands a single petrol pump, tended by an AVOCADO PEAR wearing an old truck cap.
PARSON PARSNIP pedals past on his squeaky old bicycle, with a wicker basket, bouncing on the ruts and bumps.
Three generations of CHINESE BROCOLLI, Grandma, Mum and her
five babies, wobble around the potholes on an old moped.
CHRIS CARROT passes his old school.
Above the gates is a sign from the school’s sponsor, a SODA
DRINK company.
OLD ARTICHOKES weave baskets.
A PEA mother push her PEAS babies in a pram.
SQUASHES and MARROWS pound laundry by hand. The clothes they washed earlier hang on a washing line to dry.
A TURNIP bounces past aboard a tired old tractor that’s seen better days.
