Int. Grocery Store - Checkout Line - Day
Various people stand in line holding groceries waiting to check out.
CAP'T, a mid 20's white male casually dressed holding a stack of frozen microwavable pizzas stands in the middle of the line, waiting patiently. Thirty seconds pass as one customer completes their transaction and the line steps forward one pace. Suddenly CAP'T drops all of his groceries, tears open his shirt (he has nothing but a white T-shirt on underneath), cranes his neck sideways, raises an eyebrow, and stares intensely into space (the camera).
CAP'T
Somebody somewhere just posted something erroneous
though technically not incorrect on the internet. They must be
made aware of their near error. To Wikipedia!
CAP'T spins around and takes out his phone, he begins typing madly, making a wide range of contorted faces and sweating profusely. The words that CAP'T is furiously typing can now be heard voiced over the sound of the store.
VOICEOVER
Technically the appropriate term is "figuratively" as using
the term "literally" implies that such an event actually
happened and I doubt that you almost died because...
The person in line in front of CAP'T moves forward and completes checking out while this voiceover is going on. The customer behind CAP'T (middle aged Asian man with his arms full of real groceries) begins to fidget and look worried. The customer behind CAP'T begins to look around nervously at other people and eventually taps him on the shoulder.
CUSTOMER
Excuse-
CAP'T
-Don't interrupt me, I'm doing something important!
Hard Cut end scene.
