BARNEBUS
Barnebus jams out for a guitar solo, each panel showing off

panel being a close shot of Barnebus’ guitar being played on
as Barnebus himself is out of the panels with five drawing of
him rocking it.
BARNEBUS  I found your heart in the drunk
Hiding away from the fear that you weren't enough
Until Johnny boy shouted out sweet nothings into the earshot crowd

The strangest time of our lives went by
With things unsaid until yesterday
Went and took you away from all you knew

Four years is all it takes
For the jealousy to break away
Not a second more can pass us by
Until you break down

Takes your breath away

Takes your breath away
Takes your breath away

I've passed onto you```

     feet though the door

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS A slightly annoyed Barnebus tries to explain what he was doing to Al, equally as annoyed. BARNEBUS Geez, Sorry! All I was doing was some band related business! AL During store hours? BARNEBUS Oh yeah sure, let me tell them to wait around until 7, when they start losing interest! Panel 2 DITTO Al continues on AL BARNEBUS! BARNEBUS Alright alright, I’ll do better to keep to my work! AL It’s not just that! BARNEBUS Huh? Panel 3 CLOSE UP ON AL Al then brings up the fact that he didn’t involve Simon in this conversation. AL What about Simon?! You didn’t think that he’d want to have a say in this? Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND AL Barnebus then acts sarcastic to Al’s further annoyance. BARNEBUS Oh! How thoughtless of me! I forgot to get out the Wawa hotline and ask for Simon’s opinion, how thoughtless of me! AL Don’t get snippy with me Panel 5 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS Barnebus then tries to reassure Al that he knows what he is doing, and that Simon will back him up on this. BARNEBUS Look, I know what I’m doing here, so don’t worry! Besides, I have a feeling that Simon will appreciate me taking the initiative to get our feet though the door

Barnebus really does think of everything, doesn’t he?
