Title: The Rubber Baller Fade in: INT. TOY FACTORY - DAY We see a lot of workers, machines and products. The place is buzzing with activity. In the middle of all this, we see a little rubber ball shaped like a clown. He is sitting in a corner looking sad. CUT TO: INT. THE CEO'S OFFICE - DAY The CEO, MR. GREEN, is sitting at his desk. He is on the phone with a client. MR. GREEN: (on phone) Yes, yes, I understand that your order didn't come on time, but I assure you we are fixing it. (pauses to listen) Yes, I'll give you a discount for the inconvenience. As he hangs up, his assistant, LUCY, comes in. LUCY: Excuse me, Mr. Green. We have a problem with one of the toys. MR. GREEN: Oh no, what is it? LUCY: It's the rubber baller. It seems to be defective. MR. GREEN: Defective? That's not good. It's one of our best-selling toys. How many units are affected? LUCY: Just one, sir. MR. GREEN: Only one? Why is it such a big deal then? LUCY: Well, it's not just any rubber baller. It's the clown one. And, it's just sitting in the corner looking sad. MR. GREEN: Oh, I see. (pauses, thinks) Alright, bring it to me. Let me have a look. CUT TO: INT. THE CEO'S OFFICE - LATER Lucy walks in with the rubber baller. She places it on Mr. Green's desk. MR. GREEN: (inspects the ball) Hmm, it looks fine to me. Suddenly, the rubber baller comes to life. RUBBER BALLER: Sad, I am not fine. I am defective. Mr. Green and Lucy are shocked. They've never seen a toy come to life before. MR. GREEN: (stunned) You can talk? RUBBER BALLER: Yes, I can. And I've been sitting here for weeks because I don't work like the other toys. MR. GREEN: What do you mean you don't work? RUBBER BALLER: I don't bounce like them. My design is flawed. I only roll. Mr. Green looks at Lucy. MR. GREEN: Did you hear that, Lucy? This toy thinks it's defective just because it rolls instead of bounces. LUCY: That's ridiculous. RUBBER BALLER: But it's the truth. No one wants a rubber ball that just rolls. MR. GREEN: (pondering) Well, I disagree. I think there are people out there who would want a rubber ball that rolls. RUBBER BALLER: Really? MR. GREEN: Yes. I'm going to send you out to find them. RUBBER BALLER: (excited) You mean, people will love me for who I am? MR. GREEN: (smiling) That's right. CUT TO: EXT. A PARK - DAY We see the rubber baller rolling around in the grass. Kids are chasing after him and laughing. CUT TO: INT. TOY STORE - DAY We see a display of rubber ballers. The clown one is on top, surrounded by other balls that bounce. CUSTOMER: (to the salesperson) I'll take the one that rolls. CUT TO: INT. TOY FACTORY - DAY Mr. Green and Lucy are watching the rubber baller on the news. He's become a celebrity. MR. GREEN: (smiling) I guess being different isn't such a bad thing after all. LUCY: (smiling) No. And, it's nice to see a toy with a happy ending. Fade out.
