ACT I
EXT. DOWNTOWN FILAMENT CITY STREET - AFTERNOON
A limousine with a lampshade medallion on the hood pulls up to the city's largest retail lamp store, LOTSA LOTSA LAMPS.
The chauffeur opens the door for founder and owner LOUIS LAMPAREENI, a heavy-set man with gangster potential.
He walks briskly toward the glass doors, bumps into a pedestrian but keeps going and stomps inside.
INT. LOTSA LOTSA LAMPS, CENTRAL SEWING ROOM
Lampareeni enters a huge room with hundreds of ladies sitting at loud sewing machines. He clears his throat. They all stop and stare at him, almost mechanically.
SEWING LADIES
(in unison)
Hello Mr. Lampareeni.
LOUIS LAMPAREENI
Ladies. Coffee break.
Like an army, the ladies clear the room and close the doors, which lock with the sounds of heavy internal bolts.
We watch Louis' passive face and hear precision gears grinding as the desks lower into the floor. Then, silence.
He walks toward the center of the dim, vacated room. The floor begins to ramp upward as it converts into a giant lampshade upon which he sits like a king on a throne.
A shiny metal lampshade lowers from the ceiling and lands perfectly, covering his entire head. We hear a long sigh. And then a low, gruff, sarcastic gangster voice.
LOUIE DAH LAMPSHADE
(slightly muffled)
Ahhh. Soothingly gloomy and dim.
