Short - terrorist communications

I'm not sure if this works or not.

Terror Calls

BROWN AND AIDE IN BROWN’S OFFICE

BROWN
Tell the press I’m having none of it. This government refuses to talk to terrorists. I will not enter into discussion with them and that’s that.

AIDE
Very well, Prime minister.

THE TELEPHONE RINGS. BROWN RAISES EYEBROWS. AIDE MAKES TO ANSWER.

BROWN
If that’s Osama again, tell him I’m out.

AIDE
(ON PHONE)No. No, he says he’s out. (REALISES HIS MISTAKE)

BROWN
(REACHING FOR PHONE) You bastard.

ENDS

Doesn't quite work for me..

What about starting with the phone ringing, the aide picks up, Brown says his line, the aide then pauses as he listens to person on phone, handing it over saying it's Bin Laden Glazing services or Conservatories for Infidels, Brown takes the call followed by a Doh! moment?

Just a thought, I really should stop having them

:D

Hahaha, that's a funny idea, thanks for that! :)

I kind of even like the idea of keeping the original sketch and then having a real quickie with your idea later on. That might work too - sort of a running joke.

Follow-up:

Terror Calls 2

BROWN AND AIDE IN BROWN’S OFFICE. AIDE HOLDING THE PHONE.

AIDE
It’s for you sir. It’s Bin Laden’s Bin Liners, they say they’re a small refuse firm in Afghanistan.

BROWN
(TAKES PHONE) What would they want? (REACTION AS HE REALISES HE’S BEEN DUPED) Oh, for-!!

ENDS

haha brilliant idea James and Fran. LOL You will have to use that in your Newstroupe show as a running sketch. Brilliant mate.
