1 INT. STAGE. NIGHT 1
TITLE: FIGURE
Flashbulbs pop, camera shutters click as STAN smiles, blinking in the
glare of the lights

Stan stands at the podium. He leans towards the mic
STAN
This isn't just testament to me. I know I'm
the youngest to ever win this. And I know
some say this is symbolic
Stan shakes the award towards the audience
STAN
Though I'm grateful. Though it's not just
about me
3 INT. WORKSHOP. DAY 3
Stan applies slightly more pressure to the vice
STAN
just, just, just, just
Taking the scalpel, concentration high Stan makes a minute adjustment.
We can't see what he adjusts
STAN
(v/o)
They say technology is a station that you
pass through. You can't stop. This awards
says slow down to read the station name at
least

4 INT. STAGE. NIGHT 4
Sam holds both hands high in the air. In his left hand he holds his
award. Between thumbs and forefingers he holds something else,
something very small
STAN
I learnt from my dad. It's the detail
We can now see the figure, white, small, plastic figure sam holds
SAM
See you can't get that with computers...
5 INT. WORKSHOP. DAY 5
We travel slowly across the shelf of figures. Man holding a briefcase,
arm in pocket; a woman carrying a purse; an old man with walking stick
SAM
(v/o)
...all too generic by computer
MAN
Please stop

shit network
SAM
You see if you can get the detail. Really
look at the detail
8 INT. STAGE. NIGHT 8
Sam milks in the applause
SAM
(v/o)
Really good, then the rest will follow
Sam punches the air celebrates as waves of applause crescendo
9 INT. WORKSHOP. DAY 9
The man is chained into a pose. Hunched. Sam places a walking stick in
his head. Returning to his workbench he resumes curving the figure
The END
