Animal Park
written by: Vincent Gargiulo




We see a family driving in their car through an animal park. They stop at a sign that talks about lions. The mother and father look out but don’t see any lions.

Mother: Do you see it?

Father: No.

They look some more.

Mother: Well they are endangered species. Do you see any lions out there, kids?

Brother: What?

The mother turns around to talk to the kids in the back. Brother is holding a baby lion.

Mother: Do you see any...what the? Where did you get that?

Brother: At the gift shop in front.

Mother: No you didn’t! Now put that back outside!

Brother: But, mom.

Mother: Do it! And if there are any other animals in here, get them out.

Brother opens the door to let the baby lion and also a parrot out.

Father: (to Mother) What’s wrong?

Mother: Oh, they’ve been collecting the animals.

Father: Kids. We’ve already got a dog at home and you don’t play with that. So we don’t need any other animals.

Mother: Oh, now, the whole car smells.

Brother: I’m bored. I hate this animal park.

Just then we see a carefully crafted bear (man in a bear suit) trying to hitch a ride.

Father: It’s a bear.

Mother: Should we give it a ride.

Father: (to Bear) Where you off to?

Bear: Jellystone. The salmon are spawning.

Mother: (to Bear) Where have you been?

Bear: Only up in the tree, mam’.

Mother: Well, I guess he’s alright.

Father: Come on in.

Bear gets in the back of the car with the two children.

Bear: Thanks.

They drive off. Soon, the bear reaches to the front seat and changes the channel on the radio.

Bear: That’s better.

Mother: I was listening to that.

She changes it back to what was originally on.

Bear: (coughing) Bitch.

The bear turns to Brother who’s reading a comic book.

Bear: Hey, what’s you reading there?

Brother: Comic book.

Bear: Let me see.

Bear streads the comic book with his claws.

Brother: Dad. The bear just ripped my comic book apart.

Father: Well, he is a wild animal.

Sister: Mom, the bear’s eating Brother.

Mother turns to the back seat and finds the bear trying to stuff Brother in his mouth.

Mother: Hey!

Mother hits bear with rolled up magazine.

Mother: Get outta here. Go on. Beat it.

Bear: He said he wanted to see the inside of my mouth.

Mother: Yeah right. Now go on. Get out!

Bear leaves car angrily.

Bear: Why you...

Bear opens his claws and gets ready to attack the family when...

BLACK OUT
