Captain Obvious

EXT, STREET, BIG AMERICAN CITY - DAY
A crowd gathers, looking up at the sky.

MAN: Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

MAN #2: It's a slightly larger plane!

WOMAN: No! It's Captain Obvious!

He flies, cape fluttering in the sun. Then lands.

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS: Hello, Citizens.

PEOPLE: Hello, Captain Obvious!

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS: I have a very important message for you! The message is .... Wait for it ... "If the democracy movement succeeds in Libya, it could change everything!"

MAN: Wow.

MAN #2: You're right, Captain Obvious!

MAN: It's so obvious!

WOMAN: God bless you, Captain Obvious!

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS: Just doing my job.

He flies away.
