>>213055667Title: "The Goat Clause"
Setting: Abraham’s mudbrick home in Ur.
---
[INT. ABRAHAM’S FLAT — DAY]
Abraham is furious. Ea-Nasir sits calmly, picking straw off his robe.
ABRAHAM:
You lost my goat!
EA-NASIR:
I didn’t lose it. He left. Of his own volition.
ABRAHAM:
He's a goat, not a priest! He doesn’t make volitions!
SARRATU (enters with a tablet):
I just saw the registry. Nasir pawned the goat to pay for copper.
ABRAHAM:
You sold my goat?
EA-NASIR:
Technically, leased. It’s a short-term asset transfer.
ABRAHAM:
He was supposed to mow the reeds!
EA-NASIR:
Now he’s mowing a temple courtyard. Gainfully employed.
[SHULGI JR. bursts in, covered in mud.]
SHULGI JR.:
Yo! Your goat just led a parade in the market. He’s a hero now. They’re calling him “Horny Moses.”
ABRAHAM (defeated):
I hate this city.

[FADE OUT.]
Tagline: "Next week, Ea-Nasir sues the goat for unpaid rent."
