EXT. CAVEMAN VILLAGE - THE PALEOLITHIC ERA - DAY
A small caveman community made up of five large caves, all
facing out towards a crackling fire.
Slack-jawed, yet strong and confident CAVEMEN stumble about,
dragging haunches of meat, pounding the dirt with sticks,
dragging the women.
WE PAN OVER to a small cave. Not even really a cave at all,
but a crack in the rocks barely large enough to sleep in.
Stepping out of this "cave" is a small, weak, nerdy-looking
caveman.
The chief caveman, set apart by the large mallet he wields,
steps towards the fire and grunts loudly to mark the
beginning of a caveman meeting.
