Preliminary - Pitch

Starts with an intern opening the door to a doctor’s office, walks across the room where he is greeted by doctor Johan.  Johan then points out that he has a hidden camera in the room and he is going to play a trick on one of the employees. Employee then gets called in and he is told to sit down by the doctor, where he is told that he has a rare disease (the doc’s just made up). The doctor then goes on to make up all the symptoms and how there has been no reported cases since early 1900’s and there is no cure. Employee then breaks down and cries. Awkwardly the doctor tells him that it was just a joke, employee then walks out angrily and swears. Doctor sits in the chair, dumbfounded, intern walks into shot where the doctor quietly tells him to turn the camera off. Goes black then cuts to the second, forgotten hidden camera where the credits roll over the doctor getting shouted at by the boss.
