OCD: Miami - Part 1
A comedy sketch by Mikey J

EXT. TYPICAL AMERICAN STREET. DAY.

CAPTION: “OCD: MIAMI.”

POLICE HAVE CORDONED OFF PART OF THE STREET WITH TAPE. CROWDS OF SPECTATORS HAVE GATHERED, WATCHING SEVERAL FORSENSICS GUYS EXAMINE A DEAD MAN LYING IN A POOL OF BLOOD.

F/X: CAMERA IS DOING THAT “TRENDY” HANDHELD/ERRACTIC MOVING ABOUT CONSTANTLY FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.

MADBITCHSKI, A FEMALE DETECTIVE, LOOKING TOUGH, IS AT THE SCENE.

LIEUTENANT TENNANT, A MALE DETECTIVE, DUCKS UNDER THE PERIMETER TAPE AND, LOOKING EVEN TOUGHER, SWANKS CONFIDENTLY OVER TO MADBITCHSKI.

TENNANT:
So… what’ve we got, Madbitchski?

BOTH OF THEM TALK IN OVERACTED AMERICAN ACCENTS, COMPLETE WITH PAUSES MID-SENTENCE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.

MADBITCHSKI:
Lieutenant Tennant. Where have you been?

TENNANT:
I’m sorry, Madbitchski. Had to go back to my apartment six times. I thought I’d… left the gas on.

MADBITCHSKI:
But your home is all electric.

TENNANT:
I know. But you can… never be too careful. So… what happened here?

MADBITCHSKI:
Murder. The guy was stabbed forty-two times in the back.

TENNANT:
How can you be so sure it wasn’t… suicide?

MADBITCHSKI:
He didn’t leave a note.

TENNANT:
Hmm. Forty-two times. The murderer must have wanted to make sure the job got done properly.

MADBITCHSKI:
I hate to say it Lieutenant, but... I think we may have an OCD killer on our hands.

F/X: DRAMATIC MUSIC. (ONE CHORD WILL DO)

TENNANT:
My God! Okay, how far are we with the investigation?

MADBITCHSKI:
I interviewed all witnesses earlier… but I’ll interview them again a few more times… just in case I… didn’t do it right the first time.

TENNANT:
Okay. After that, you’d better count the stab wounds again. Just in case you… miscounted the first time.

TENNANT STARTS TO WALK AWAY.

MADBITCHSKI:
Lieutenant. Where are you going?

TENNANT:
Back to my apartment. I think I might have… left a tap running.

CAPTION: “OCD: MIAMI - TO BE CONTINUED.”
