AVERAGE JOEIt begins with a fade in to an elevator door. *ding!* the light lights up and the doors open revealing Joe just standing there looking fed up. It's another day another dollar for Joe. He's sick of working for the man day in day out. He approaches his car from off screen and mumbles to himself about stupid salesmen putting pamphlets in his windscreen whilst pulling a pamphlet from under his windscreen wipers and scrunching it up. He puts the piece in his pocket.

Joe's in his small car that can barely fit him comfortably. He's zooming to work.
It cuts to him checking in to work and cuts again to him dropping a stack of work papers on his desk.

Joe is now sitting at his desk, browsing the daily 'funnies', but not feeling very amused. His phone rings and he answers it with his ear piece. "Hello, Useless Innovations Incorporated. Joe speaking."

Joe leans back in his chair while the customer rambles on about business. Joe shuts his eyes and starts floating up and up into space. He opens his eyes and gets a fright. He 'swims' through space into a space helmet which fits over his head. He keeps swimming and dancing and a voice fades in "Hello?... Hello?! are you even listening?"

It cuts to a shot of Joe waking up in shock and he falls backwards out of screen. He pops back up quickly and fumbles around with his ear piece. "Hello, sorry sir" He sees the pamphlet from earlier sitting on his desk and he manages to read the scrunched up letters "Join us, at space school!" (or some better alternative)
He continues "...I'm gunna have to call you back sir"

Joe smiles
