I've written some pretty esoteric and impossible SFX cues in my time, usually ending in something like (I'M SORRY, NEIL) or (HAVE FUN, AMY) but I am heartened to know that Douglas Adams bested me long ago. From the original Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio script, Fit the Sixth, as our heroes encounter the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal:TRILLIAN (Screams) Look out!
F/X HUGE ARM SWEEPS DOWN AND PICKS THEM UP. THE
MONSTER ROLLS HIS EYES WHICH TURN RED, GREEN,
THEN A SORT OF MAUVY PINK. IT RUNS ITS TONGUE
ROUND ITS LIPS, BLINKS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN
MENTALLY REGISTERS THAT IT HAS JUST REMEMBERED
WHAT 10 ACROSS IN THE GALACTIC TIMES CROSSWORD
WAS TODAY, MAKES A MENTAL NOTE TO WRITE IT IN
WHEN IT'S NEXT GOT A COUPLE OF MINUTES
CAST (Shouts, etc...) He would've been 60 a few days ago, that one.
