INT. SECURITY OFFICE - NIGHT
NIGHT SECURITY GUARDS DON AND ED SIT IN A SECURITY OFFICE STARING BLANKLY AT A BANK OF MONITORS.
ED
God this is dull.
DON
(Sighs) yeah.
ED
Hey... there was a young man from Nantucket.
LONG PAUSE AS ED GRINS EXPECTANTLY AT DON
DON
Was there?
ED
No. It's the limerick game… let's play the limerick game… to pass the time.
DON
Oh right, ok.
ED
There was a young man from Nantucket. (Pause) Your go.
DON
Erm... There was a young man from...
ED
(Interrupting) No, you do the second line. We're making a limerick, you know... it rhymes? A limerick?
DON
Oh, right, yeah, yeah. I've got it.
ED
Ok. There was a young man from Nantucket
DON
He had a bucket.
ED
For crying out loud! It's a limerick… it has a rythym. My line goes da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da… and your line goes dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, yeah?
DON
Of course, yes, I've got it now - I was just a bit confused there.
ED
Right, well you go first this time. (Pause) There was a young man...
DON
Oh, there was a young man from Nantucket.
ED
Who… kept all his things in a bucket. You see how it works?
DON
(Hesitant) Then one day... he... tripped?
DON LOOKS WORRIED
ED
Perfect. Now you're getting it.
DON LOOKS PLEASED WITH HIMSELF.
ED
Ok... then one day he tripped... his bucket got flipped.
DON
And he swore like a bastard!
ED
OH FOR F...!
