Potion Seller Script

I was digging through my files when I came across this little gem. It's my first script I've ever written where I could only write dialogue. It was bumpy but I think with some tweaks I could create something more with this.
----------


Woman
(Looking over counter frantic and concerned)
"Hello? Hello?"

Old Lady
(Screechy and Cheerfully)
"Welcome! What can I do for you?"

Man
(Sickly clutching his stomach in agony)
"Ugh"

Old Lady
(Studious and Focused staring at the man)
"Goodness me. This is a new one."

Man
(Hunching over cringing)
"Unngh"

Woman
(Distressed and Worried)
"Can you help him?"

Old Lady
(Intrigued and Smiling)
"I'm sure I can do something for this man, provide he has the patience for some less…common practices."

Man
(Indignantly)
"Do I look like I have patience to you?"

Woman
(Huffy and Apologetic)
Dear…



Old Lady
(Annoyed and inquisive)
"hmph."

Old Lady
(Loud and Authoritive)
"Joanna!"

Joanna
(Stuttering and Stammering in the distance. Running with a large wooden box full of bottles)
"C-Coming!"

Old Lady
(Rustles through wooden box full of bottles Slowly and Frustrated)
"I can't find it."

Old Lady
(Callously and squinting her eyes down at Joanna suspiciously.)
"Joanna?"

Joanna
(Winching and fearfully looking up at old lady)
"I…I don't know!"

Old Lady
(Annoyed)
"Hmm. I guess I'll try them all…"

Woman
(Hesitant but trusting)
"Drink this, dear..."

Man
(Drinks bottle)
"gulp"

(Silence from all people)



Man
(Hoarsely)
"(Belches),(Neighs)"

Woman
(Freaked out)
"Goodness!"

Old Lady
(Disturbed)
"That's not the right one! Give me a different one Joanna!"

(Joanna hands the Old Lady the potion)

Old Lady
(Desperately, feed bottle to man who is now a horse)
"Drink this!"

Man
(Hoarsely drinks bottle)
"Gulp"

(Silence from all people)

Man
(Sheepishily)
"(Belches), Baaaaaahhhhhhhh"

Woman
(Screams)

Old Lady
(Frantically)
"Oh bother…d-drink this."

Man
(Sheepishly drinks bottle)
"Gulp"

(Silence from everyone, they are all tense)

Man
(groggilly)
"Hiccup. Hiccup. ohhhh."

Woman
(Relived)
"Oh, thank goodness!"

Old Lady and Joanna
(Relived)
"Ahhh…"

Man
(light-headed and calm)
"Ho boy…"
Woman
(grateful)
Oh thank you! Thank you very much!

Old Lady
(Jovial and friendly)
"I'm glad to help)"

(Man coughs)

Old Lady
(A matter a factly)
"Now, about your bill…"

Man
(Distressed and mortified)
"Oh no…"
