Panel Dialogue Location Props
1 SHELDON (eyes wide, frustrated, hands in pockets): WOOF. 2008. Glad that's over.
ARTHUR (raising eyebrows): You said it, sister. But 2009 ain't lookin' much better.
nonspecific (white background)
2 ARTHUR (talking to Sheldon, walking): 2008 had $1 trillion in "subprime" mortgage defaults, but they're forecasting 2009-10 could have #1.5 trillion in "no-doc" mortgage defaults.
SHELDON (Distressed, disturbed, hands in pockets, Listening, walking): GUH.
nonspecific (white background)
3 SHELDON (hands in pockets, talking to Arthur): AND all those continuing defaults have ruined the financial system... giving the stock market its worst year since 1931.
ARTHUR (Distressed, Listening): GUH.
nonspecific (white background)
4 SHELDON (Distressed, disturbed, hands in pockets, talking to Arthur): And the worldwide loss of jobs, capital and credit is hammering consumption, putting tens of millions out of work in China.
ARTHUR (Distressed, talking to Sheldon): ... putting that country one step closer to massive civil unrest. GUH.
nonspecific (white background)
5 SHELDON (Distressed, holds up hand, talking): And that slowdown's made a plummeting price for oil, which in 2009 will destabilize already-shaky oil-dependant states like Iran, Venezuela and Russia.
ARTHUR (eyes wide, talking to Sheldon): Buuuut on the other hand...
nonspecific (white background)
6 Post-it Note (covering Arthur's speech): Cartoonist- Don't forget to insert _optimistic_ punchline before releasing. -Editor
ARTHUR (breaking fourth wall, grinning, with artificial smile): [ ]
SHELDON (breaking fourth wall, with artificial smile): Hey, that's TRUE! ... Way to find a bright side! Happy 2009 Everyone!
