Prompt

<inputs>
Create a vertical 12-14-second short (1080x1920, 30fps) in classic stick figure style (thick black outlines, pure white circular heads, simple stick limbs, solid-color clothing, no gradients, no textures, minimal shading).
Style reference: Alan Becker / classic stick figure animations.
Background: A dark urban alley at night, soft street lamps, buildings on both sides, slight depth, muted colors.
</inputs>

<direction>
Scene 1 (0-2s):
Two stick figures face each other in a dark alley.
The left stick figure (red shirt) holds a black handgun pointed at the right stick figure (blue shirt).
Red has angry eyebrows and clenched teeth.
Blue has wide, frightened eyes and an open mouth.
On-screen text (large white letters with a black outline, centered at the bottom):
"give me all your money!"

Scene 2 (2-4.5s):
Close-up of the blue stick figure.
He looks down and pulls empty white pockets out from his blue pants.
A sad, defeated expression.
Text:
"I don't have money, I'm married!"

Scene 3 (4.5-7s):
Cut back to a medium shot.
The red stick figure's expression softens; his eyebrows shift from angry to understanding.
He lowers the gun, reaches into his own pocket, and pulls out a stack of green dollar bills.
A slight smile appears.
Text:
"I understand, bro."

Scene 4 (7-9.5s):
Red hands the money to Blue.
Blue takes it with both hands, still looking confused and surprised.
Red turns and starts walking away down the alley.
Text:
"Keep this."

Scene 5 (9.5-13s):
Hard cut to real-life reaction footage of a bald Black man in a gray "I HAVE HEART" hoodie, sitting at a table and laughing extremely hard, body shaking, eyes closed, in pure, genuine laughter.
No text needed; just let the laugh hit.

Overall tone: deadpan comedy that turns wholesome in one second. Keep the timing tight. No music until the final reaction; then use a short, soft laugh track or silence so the real laugh dominates.

How to use

You can replace the dialogue or the reversal punchline. Keep the scene durations and subtitle placement to create a brisk short.
