OPINIONS WANTED!

With Closetspace now going to be the next comic done, I need YOUR (The Viewer at Home's) advice. Originally, Closetspace was going to be done with music. It's looking unlikely that that is going to happen soon, but music still plays a very very very important part of the story So, here're two versions of the script for the first episode. One with music as lyrics, and one without the music subtext.

I want your reactions to the scripts, and wether I should go ahead and go for a more musical story or not.

Please? :)

VERSION 1

1       EXTERIOR - ALAMO PLAZA - DAY

        An OLD MAN cranks an antique Gramophone in the park, but instead of an
        old vinyl record playing an even older ragtime number, there is an
        enclosed CD playing loudly through the large funnel speaker.  LYRICS
        play from the funnel.

2       THREE SHOT - CLOSE ON OLD MAN

        The Old Man looks up over to two older women, WOMAN 1 and WOMAN 2,
        feeding pigeons in front of The Alamo. Woman 1 is slim and long curly
        haired, Woman 2 is a bit bulkier, with shorter wavy hair. The two look
        very content, but are also a bit stiff, as if they have been waiting
        too long in the cold wind for someone.   The Old Man smiles to himself,
        happy at seeing such fine "young" women on exhibit in the park. The
        music continues to play from his CD/Gramophone.

3       TWO SHOT

        Woman 2, turns to talk to Woman 1, who continues to feed the pigeons
        absentmindedly.
                       
                        WOMAN 2
                        (slightly
                        irritated)
                It's been over an hour...she's
                not coming, is she?

4       CLOSE ON WOMAN 1

        Woman 1 turns to face Woman 2 with a look of surprise.

                        WOMAN 1
                Be patient.  Parking is hard to 
                find around here

5       SAME SHOT AS PANEL 3

        Woman 1 goes back to feeding the pigeons.  In the backgrouns a hover
        car flies past.

6       SAME SHOT AS PANEL 3

        Woman 2, obviously uncomfortable has shifted.
