Krispy Kreme Kommercial #2

A commercial set. DOOGIE sits facing the camera. A huge crate of doughnuts with a trapdoor in the bottom is suspended above his head.
The camera ZOOMS IN so the crate isn’t visible.

CAMERA OPERATOR [o.s.]
Okay, it’s raining doughnuts, take 1.

DOOGIE
April showers may bring May flowers, but my favorite time of year is—

The trapdoor opens too soon and all the doughnuts fall out of the crate on Doogie’s head while he’s in mid-sentence.

CUT TO
The same set. DOOGIE sits facing the camera. An ASSISTANT is wiping the jelly and doughnut sprinkles off his shirt and face.

DOOGIE
Are you going to fix that stupid trapdoor?

CAMERA OPERATOR [o.s.]
Yeah don’t worry, they’re fixing it now.

Suddenly the trapdoor opens and the doughnuts fall all over Doogie and the Assistant again.

CUT TO
The same set. DOOGIE sits facing the camera. An ASSISTANT wipes the jelly and doughnut sprinkles off his shirt and face again. Doogie is angry.

CAMERA OPERATOR [o.s.]
Okay, it’s raining doughnuts, take 3.

DOOGIE
[deep breath]
April showers may bring May flowers, but my—

A single doughnut falls from the ceiling and lands directly on Doogie’s head.

DOOGIE [cont.]
—it’s a piece of wood on a hinge, WHY CAN’T YOU FIX THAT?
[looks up at trapdoor]

CAMERA OPERATOR [o.s]
Maybe it would work better if we put coffee in it?

DOOGIE
[turns to camera, alarmed]
No.

CUT TO
The same set. DOOGIE sits facing the camera.

CAMERA OPERATOR [o.s.]
It’s raining doughnuts, take 4.

DOOGIE
April showers may bring May flowers, but my favorite time of year is Autumn, because that’s when the doughnuts fall.

Nothing happens.

DOOGIE
[looks up]
Oh, now it doesn’t want to open?

The trapdoor suddenly opens, spilling hot coffee all over Doogie, who screams in pain.

ASSISTANT [o.s.]
Sorry, that was my fault!
