Prank sketch

INT. KITCHEN – DAY

A LITTLE GIRL WATCHES HER DAD DECANT A FRESH BOTTLE OF WASHING UP LIQUID INTO AN EMPTY ONE.

GIRL:
What are you doing, dad?

DAD:
I’m playing a little prank on mummy, honey.

GIRL:
How?

DAD:
Every time your mum runs out of washing up liquid I top it up again. It never runs out and she can’t work out why! It’s driving her mental!

SUPER: LATER

EXT. STREET – DAY

THE LITTLE GIRL AND HER DAD STAND STARING AT A DERELICT WOMAN WEARING A NAPPY MADE OF NEWSPAPER.

GIRL:
Mummy?

MUM:
It never runs out! Never runs out! Never runs out!

DAD:
No talking to the crazy lady, honey.

It's good, and very nasty, and funny.

I'd reference the washing up liquid in the second section, to give it more flow.

I think you need to reference it in the second bit too, seems a bit disjointed otherwise.

Mum: It ran out. It ran out. It ran out. (VARIOUS MENTAL NOISES)

ENDS

You're so right, both of you. Edited accordingly.

And a lovely skit it is too.

Remember me when you're rich and famous, and I'm living in the skip outside Sainsburys

Sainsburys you wish. I see you ending up in the bin behind the vets under a pile of dead cats.

And wearing a newspaper nappy!

LOLROFLKMARTLOL!

Hey that's where I get my din dins. You basically just accused me of sleeping in my fridge. I'd throw a dead cat at you, if I wasn't going to eat for my tea. Stuffed with a couple of hamsters that died of rodent syphilis. mmm yummy, bet you haven't got a recipe for that Delia!

Sure she does:

1 cat
2 dead hamsters (dead from rodent syphillis)
1 kilo salt.

I bet she means tinned M&S syphilitic hamsters. I follow Heston Blumenthals recipe. You have to give the hamsters syphilis yourself, and they have to be Syrian Hamsters.

As for stuffing the cat, well you should really start with a live cat....
