Norman Price Productions
presents The Abominable Snow
Monster, a really
scary monster movie
directed by me, Norman Price.
Scene One, take one.
Action.
High up in the
mountains of Nepal,
we meet two brave and
fearless explorers.
Wow, here we are alone
in the mountains far,
far away from mankind.
Oh, are you kids
making a movie?
Cut!
Oh, sorry, Mr. Director.
I'm on my way to my very
first skiing lesson.
That's great, Elvis.
But I'm trying to make
the biggest, bestest,
scariest monster movie ever.
And your ruining my shot.
Just make sure you stay within
the boundary ropes, Norman.
They show which areas
are safe to walk
in and which ones aren't.
OK, Fireman Sam.
And it's probably a
good idea that one of you
wears a transceiver.
What's that, penny?
It helps us find people
who get lost in the snow.
When you're close
my own transceiver
will beep louder and louder.
Brilliant.
Thanks, Penny.
Take two.
Well, here we are
alone in the mountains.
Don't worry, kids.
I'll keep an eye
out for you as well.
NORMAN: Cut!
[LAUGHTER]
Perhaps, this is the home
of the abdominal snow monster.
NORMAN: Who dares
disturb my monster?
It's the big, scary monster.
It's the big, scary monster.
[LAUGHTER]
What's so funny, Mandy?
Norman, that is the silliest
special effect I've ever seen.
It's the monsters eyes.
It's supposed to look scary.
Well, it doesn't.
And the monster's voice doesn't
sound very scary either.
It just sounds like you.
[LAUGHTER]
I will make this
the biggest, bestest,
scariest, monster movie ever.
So stop laughing.
Take 24.
Good morning, class.
Morning, Penny.
Good morning,
Miss [INAUDIBLE]..
Welcome to your
first ski lesson.
First a lesson in ski safety.
We'll each need to
wear a transceiver so
that if we get lost or
caught in an avalanche
we can find each other.
That tickles.
We'll start with an
avalanche rescue exercise.
Can we peek yet.
Yes, you can both
turn around now.
I've buried my transceiver
attached to the backpack
somewhere under the snow.
Zigzag back and forth until
you pick up its signal.
I hope we find it soon.
My morning snack is
in that backpack.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPING]
Found it.
Excellent, Sam.
Now dig out the backpack as
if you're rescuing someone.
Brilliant, Sam.
I was getting really hungry.
I think your biscuit
might have frozen, Elvis.
It's like an ice lolly now.
Oh, I hope the monster won't
find us here in the forest.
What was that?
I'm scared.
It is I, the
abdominal snow monster.
[LAUGHTER]
Now what's so funny?
That's not scary, Norman.
It look like a snowman wearing
your mum's dressing gown.
It is a snowman wearing
my mum's dressing gown.
Even James wouldn't
be frightened of that.
If only I could find a way to
really scare Sarah and Mandy.
Oh, do we get to do the skiing
down the mountain bit now,
Penny.
Not yet, Elvis.
First we'll try a gentle
slope and learn how to stop.
We slide down the
hill like this,
and then point our
toes together to make
a snow plough like
this as gracefully
as a falling snowflake.
OK, Penny, I
think I've got it.
Great job, Sam.
OK, Elvis.
Your turn.
Here I come.
[YELLING]
Stop Elvis!
Point your toes together.
[CRASH]
Sorry, that wasn't quite
as graceful as a falling
snowflake, was it Penny?
No, Elvis.
Hm, a toboggan ride
down a steep slope
will make my actors
look really frightened
and make my movie really scary.
OK, actors, get on the toboggan.
We can hear you.
You'll slide down
this gentle slope,
and I'll follow
behind filming you
so it will look
like the monster is
chasing you down the mountain.
But Uncle Sam told
us not to go pass
those boundary ropes, Norman.
Action.
[YELLS]
Norman Price, that
was very dangerous.
Oh, be quiet and look scared.
[CRASH]
Look out!
Danger!
Brilliant acting, you too.
You really do look scared.
Ava-- what?
Quick into the hut!
My camera!
My movie!
At least we're safe.
Oh, no.
The doors blocked.
We're trapped.
Oh, no, an avalanche.
Kids, are you OK?
Hello?
Oh, I better call fireman Sam.
Norman, Sarah, and Mandy have
been caught in an avalanche.
Norman, Sarah, and Mandy have
been caught in an avalanche.
We're on our way, sir.
OK, everyone, now
it's time to ski.
We'll zigzag back and
forth across the avalanche
zone just like we practised.
Listen out for your transceiver,
and when it beeps louder
the kids are close by.
It's beeping louder, Sam.
We're getting close.
Hello!
Sarah!
Mandy!
Help, Uncle Sam!
They're trapped in the hut.
Great snow plough, Elvis.
I've got it.
Oh, thanks Penny.
[RESCUE MUSIC]
You're safe now.
Thanks, Uncle Sam.
You really shouldn't have
gone beyond the boundary ropes.
They're there to
protect you from danger.
I'm sorry Fireman Sam.
I just wanted to make
a really scary movie.
Well, Norman, you might have
made it a little too scary.
Maybe I did.
Quiet everyone.
Time for my movie.
Who dares disturb my slumber?
The snow monster had
started an avalanche.
We must escape.
Don't worry.
You're safe now.
Well done kids.
Best movie I've ever seen.
It's the scariest
movie I've ever seen.
Great!
Now I'm going to make the
best disaster movie ever.
It will be called the bum,
bum, bum, towering big fire!
I think we'd better be on
high alert for that one, Penny.
