I read this and straight away I thought of you Helio..

Now I'm not absolutly sure but I'd lay a bet you wrote this script..

This script is full of all your hallmarks and on a single page at that..

You even managed to use the line required by the competition twice, in the title and by one of the characters, very funny..

I gotta admit it, I laughed..

Way funny for a single page..

Eh.  I liked the pun at the end, but 1 page?  I don't really know if there's any point in giving a 1 page script a title page.

This went completely over my head. It felt more like a joke than a script but the punchline didn't seem to match the setup.

At first, this made no sense whatsoever….but then I figured it out --- it’s like a bad pun - like “call the police, my steak is being a-salted or something.” - har har.

This is probably the shortest script I've ever read. I'm pretty sure it's Helio too. Not bad, but you could've stretched it out a little to maybe, I dunno, 3 pages? I quite like the concept and I think there's potential for more gags other than the pun at the end.

Hey Helio err... I mean Kassius  

You came up with a good premise for this exercise but, as other posters already said, this have to be stretched a bit for it to fully work.

This one reads like the author composed it while sitting on the toilet.

And, in fact, there is an author around here who has admitted to writing while he does this.

So I think I know who this author might be through simple elimination...elimination?...get it?...ahahaha!

I suppose this might be one of the better one-page scripts I've seen, but yeah, this idea hasn't been flushed out as well as it might have been.

I got the joke. I'm assuming whoever wrote this was in a bit of a crunch for time.
I felt more like I was reading a commercial, except nothings really being advertised....

Um... I would have like to see this one longer, too. Maybe added scenes with bullets or arrows flying through the air, hitting trees. I'm not sure though because it was so short.
