FX BUSY STREET, WOMEN TALKING.
MAN:
I am reporting to you live in central London where a large group of women armed with cleaning equipment and detergents arrived en masse and are currently cleaning a well known store (PAUSE) …and they are beginning to disperse. Excuse me, excuse me ladies, a few minutes of your time please.
WOMAN:
Ok, we've just finished.
MAN:
What is this?
WOMAN:
It's a flash mob.
MAN:
And where did it originate?
WOMAN:
Staines.
MAN:
Ok, the question I need to ask is why? I mean, it is voluntary, right?
WOMAN:
Yep, totally gratis. Well, actually, I'll come clean..
OTHER WOMAN: (interrupting)
I'd like to come at all.
WOMAN:
Heh. We do get a retainer from the store involved.
MAN:
So, what appears to be an act of random kindness is in fact wrapped up in a fleece marked ‘corporate whore?'
WOMAN:
My whoring days are over, thank god.
MAN:
Quite. Its very well organised I must say.
WOMAN:
Yeah, mobility is the key. Most of us have laptops with the W I – fi built in.
MAN:
Would you consider using men to help you?
WOMAN:
Absolutely not, they'll treat it as a piss up and then there's a greater risk of domestos violence.
MAN:
Hmmm.. Thanks for talking to me. Could you possibly sing ‘Do the shake and vac' for our listeners please?
WOMAN:
Are you taking the piss?
OTHER WOMAN:
Give him a squeegee girls.
FX WATER SPLASHING.
MAN:
Aargh!… Next week on Modern Phenomena… ‘I live like a King but I live in a skip.'
