"Be prepared"
FADE IN:
INT.DINING ROOM.EVENING
Prussia and
(kid)Germany are eating dinner. Germany is slowly chewing. Prussia is
looking bored around him and plays with his food. Prussia lays
down his knife and fork.
PRUSSIA
(smiles)You know, bruder, you might not know it yet, but I can see a
glimmer of potential in you. (Germany looks at Prussia, but keeps
eating)
Ofcourse, if you are guided by my awesome vision and brain.
(Prussia pushes back his chair and stands up)
Okay, so pay attention
to me!(Prussia puts his foot on the chair. He points at Germany) My
words are most important. (Germany glares at Prussia, while eating
on)(Prussia laughs)
It is clear from your expression, you do not
understand what I am talking about. But even you (points again at
Germany) has to be prepared for the future.
The future of the awesome
me! (Prussia puts his foot away and swaggers around the table. He
rhythmically slaps his fist in his open hand)
It will be so cool!.
(When he reaches Germany, he puts a hand around Germany’s shoulder)
A shining new era, coming our way.
GERMANY
(shakes off Prussia’s hand)Und what has it to do with me, bruder?
PRUSSIA
(Shakes his head and smiles)Just listen to me! If you follow me, you
will be rewarded, with anything you want. Because I am awesome.
(Punches the air) And I will let everyone know that! (Turns back to
Germany) So you have to be prepared.
GERMANY
(Puts another potato on his fork) Prepared for what?
PRUSSIA
(Excited)We have to beat up everyone, who does not think, that I am
awesome. We will show them! I am the best!(Calmed down. Walks around
the table again) Just stick with me, Germany, und you will never be
afraid again.
GERMANY
(Glares at Prussia) I am not afraid.
PRUSSIA
(Not listening) Ofcourse, I expect that you will do some things in
return, ja? (Looks at his nails in a nonchalant way) You will have to
take certain duties on board.
GERMANY
(Looks behind Prussia)I do not think vati likes your idea, Prussia.
PRUSSIA
(Walks towards Germany again) Can you see? The future is littered
with prices! Right now, you are not worth much, but we can prepare
already, ja?
GERMANY
(still looking behind Prussia. Points at the door there) Prussia, I
really think…
PRUSSIA
(Laughs loud) Ja, we prepare, und then they will all see, that…
I…am…the most…awesome (suddenly realizes that Germany is
pointing behind him. Turns around)
Germania is standing in the doorway. He looks angry.
PRUSSIA
(gulps) Vati?
FADE OUT
THE END
