SCRIPT:
OPEN ON SIGNAL WOMAN AS SHE MAGICALLY APPEARS IN THE BACK SEAT OF A CAR THAT’S IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. SHE TALKS TO THE DRIVER.
SIGNAL WOMAN: Surprise!
DRIVER: Who are you?
SIGNAL WOMAN: I work here.
SHE INDICATES THE SIGNAL BOX WITH HER IMAGE IN IT. THE DRIVER DOES A DOUBLE TAKE.
DRIVER: Oh, you’re . . .
SIGNAL WOMAN: . . . Signal Woman. (SPEAKING ROYALLY) First of her name, Queen of Safety, Protector of Pedestrians . . .
SHE SEES THE DRIVER’S LEFT BLINKER BLINKING.
SIGNAL WOMAN: So, I see you are turning left at that intersection?
DRIVER: I am.
WE SEE THE INTERSECTION FROM THE DRIVER’S PERSPECTIVE. SIGNAL WOMAN POINTS OUT THE GAP AND PEDESTRIANS.
SIGNAL WOMAN: Okay, before you make that turn, don’t just look for gaps in oncoming traffic. Check for pedestrians and cyclists, too.
DRIVER: Wow, that’s smart.
SIGNAL WOMAN: You know, I do this 24-hours a day. Literally.
THE DRIVER GETS READY TO TURN, CHECKING FOR PEDESTRIANS, CYCLISTS AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
SIGNAL WOMAN: Well, back to the office for me. Thanks for the chat.
DRIVER: Sure.
CUT TO SIGNAL WOMAN IN HER SIGNAL BOX WAVING AT THE DRIVER AS HE TURNS LEFT WITH THE LIGHT.
SIGNAL WOMAN: (TO DRIVER) Byyeee . . . (TO CAMERA) He’s doing exactly what I taught him. Such a good student.
Thank you for your time and creativity, we appreciate your submission and can't wait to WATCH YOU!
Creatively…
