🎬 Screenplay Scene — based on a true story: “The Clean Kennel”
EXT. QUINN’S SHAMROCK KENNELS – LATE AFTERNOON
A warm breeze moves through the trees. The Quinn’s Shamrock Kennels sign stands proudly by the drive. Birds chirp. It’s peaceful — almost too peaceful for a dog kennel.
A CUSTOMER loads two happy, tail‑wagging dogs into the back of his vehicle.
The CUSTOMER closes the doors, gives Quinn a friendly wave, and climbs into the driver’s seat.
He starts backing out… slowly… suspiciously slowly.
Halfway down the drive, he stops. Rolls down his window.
CUSTOMER
Hey — quick question. Did you guys give them baths?
Quinn raises an eyebrow, amused.
QUINN
No sir. We just work hard to keep our place really clean.
The CUSTOMER blinks, surprised. Looks back at his dogs.
CUSTOMER
Wow. Every other kennel they’ve been to, they stink horribly when we pick them up.
Quinn shrugs with a humble little smile.
QUINN
Doesn’t surprise me, if they don’t keep their pens clean. We do things differently around here though. We are constantly cleaning.
CUSTOMER
Well… whatever you’re doing — keep doing it. We will be back soon!
He drives off, the dogs’ noses pressed happily to the glass.
Quinn watches them go, satisfied.
QUINN
(under their breath)
That’s the plan.
FADE OUT.
