Scene 5 is the packshot, and it's built entirely on the contrast: the same boss who was screaming in Scene 4 is now out on the street, headphones on, dancing next to the skydancer. There's no new setup to design here — just that one joke, so the brief stays short: a wide, eye-level shot, boss headphones-on and suit rumpled, doing a loose full-body wave right beside the inflatable, a passerby smiling at him.
Reuse the map instead of describing the street again
The street corner already got solved back in Scene 3 — the schematic that locks the skydancer's exact spot and size relative to a person. Rather than re-explain the geometry in words, that same, unmodified schematic gets pasted back in as the spatial anchor — no new pin on the map, just the fire hydrant/skydancer geometry — and a prompt instruction locks the boss to the right of the skydancer this time. Paste it in and the schematic attaches automatically — no new location prompt to write, no risk of the corner drifting between scenes.
No new choreography — just the contrast
Unlike scenes 1 and 4, where every beat gets a named move, scene 5's direction stays deliberately generic: a loose, full-body wave dance right next to the skydancer, boss headphones-on and suit rumpled, a passerby smiling. There's nothing left to solve here, so the brief doesn't overspecify it — a heavyset man in a rumpled suit doing a loose wave beside the skydancer is what sells the gag on its own (read it as him echoing the inflatable if you like, but that's not in the direction — it's just the read).
A couple of batches is all it takes to land it.
The best gag doesn't need a bigger idea — it needs the smallest possible distance between two states. Screaming boss, thirty seconds later, wavy dancing boss. That's the whole scene.
