Deweyrules!
Cynic
Couple of months ago, some of the creative members wrote some cool ep. ideas and scripts. I thought it would be cool & possibly a bit easier if people started suggesting cold opens for mitm (deceased).
Heres my attempt, its crappy and rushed and kind of a rip off from red dress and some episode in season two.
EXT. SHOT OF WILKERSON HOME
we hear comotion inside there is talking.
through the blinds we see one person throwing an object and the other with a bat in a baseball type came.
We hear something smashing.
The shot remains outside, through the blinds we see those inside running aroung. The camera then appears to be walking into the house gradually.
We hear, 'Okay one more go' (slightly muffled)
The camera finally enters the boys bedroom, just as we see Hal hit a ball thrown by Lois at Malcolm's microscope, Hal shouts 'Home run'
Immediately he stops and looks at camera, camera twirls to reveal Dewey. Lois asks how much. Dewey pauses for thought
D: A bed to myself for 4 nights
L: 2
D: 3
L: 2 nights with an extra pillow
D: If I can destroy 3 objects
L: Done
Hal hands Dewey the bat, and they take their places, while Dewey announces what he is aiming for, then cut to titles.
ALTERNATIVELY
An option more for the fans with a knowlegdge of the cold opener in which Malcolm and Reese accidently break various objects in the room while playing with a bat.
Rather than including Dewey, the beginning runs the same, but once we hear the first object breaking, the camera cuts into the boys room, Lois is batting, we see a smashed microscope
L: $45, that makes up for the ceramic vase, what next
H: You have a choice, either (PRODUCING BROKEN OBJECTS) the toaster (EVIDENTLY EXPLOADED) or tumble drier
L: I'll go for the drier
Camera switches to Lois point of view, as she looks around the room to find something of equal value, finally, through the door she sees the TV
H: No, no! think about what you're doing
L: Pitch it!!
