Painlock

For a change of pace, here's a "screenplay" for a short commercial.

Opening on scenery with plants in the background, and sounds of birds. (Shot of hemlock if possible)

Nurse walks in.

Nurse: These days, people are looking for natural health care remedies. Natural diet aids, natural cold and flu releaf, even natural childbirth are very popular.

Switch to clinical environment, with pills on a table.

Nurse: Addiction to pain medicine is one reason people sometimes avoid prescription drugs. But many people find their pain does not respond to natural methods such as acupuncture. Instead of looking to ancient Chinese medicine, Painlock looks to ancient Greece to find a truely natural solution to pain.

Pan to patient strapped to a gurney.

Patient: Oh, the pain.

Nurse: Watch as Painlock solves this patients pain better than any modern drug. And with no chance of addiction.

Nurse puts pill in patients mouth, and forces him to swallow as if he were a dog.

Patient convulses violently against his straps, then stops and foams at the mouth.

Nurse: And the pain is gone.
