Ext. Garden
A man is digging in a corner of the garden. He spots something in the soil.
Man: What the…
The man puts down his shovel and picks up a skull from the soil.
Man: Oh my god. OH MY GOD!!!
A woman comes running over.
Woman: What’s all the noise?
Man: I’ve just found this.
The man holds up the skull.
Woman: So?
Man: It’s human!
Woman: No it’s not.
Man: It is!
Woman: F**k off! It’s a bloody heron.
Man: A heron?! Look at the size of it!
Woman: It probably had a dodgy pituitary gland.
Man: It’s not a heron!
Woman: It is! Look, you can see where its beak went.
Man: That’s the nose cavity.
Woman: HA! Hark at you! Nose cavity!
The man starts looking in the hole. He spots something.
Man: What’s this?
The man picks up a wallet from the hole.
Woman: Put that down.
The man starts looking through the wallet. The woman picks up the shovel.
Woman: I said “PUT THAT DOWN!”.
The man pulls out a card from the wallet.
Man: It’s your ex-husband.
The woman strikes the man over the head with a shovel.
