Inspired by Craig.

A MIME WALKS INTO A BANK.

HE GOES UPTO A BANK COUNTER AND POINTS AT HIS LEFT EYE.

BANKTELLER
Can I help you sir?

MIME POINTS AT HIS EYE.

BANKTELLER
You've something in your eye.

MIME SHAKES HIS HEAD ANGRILY AND POINTS AT HIS EYE

BANKTELLER
Eye?

MIME NODS ENTHUSIASTICALLY AND MAKES A V SIGN

BANKTELLER
How rude! Oh wait "I've" I get it.

SOME TIME LATER

MIME ACTS OUT VARIOUS ACTS.

BANKTELLER
I've got a gun any of you clucking pigs?

MIME DOES A SOUNDS LIKE GESTURE.

BANKTELLER
Sounds like clucking? Plucking? Mucking? Oh f**king.
I've got a gun any of you f**king pigs move and you'll kill us all.

MIME MIMES NODS
BANKTELLER HOLDS UP A PORK PIE OVER HER HEAD.

MIME
Reach for the pie?

BANKTELLER PUFFS OUT HER CHEEKS TO PRETEND SHE'S FAT AND POINTS AT HIM.

MIME SCRATCHES HIS HEAD.

POLICEMAN APPEARS AND STICKS A GUN IN HIS BACK

POLICEMAN
Reach for the sky your surrounded I love these games!

If Craigs was 'Marks and Spencer' yours was a 'Costcutter' with a broken window.

Not bad though.

Yeh felt clunky when I was writing it.

I thought it was very good.

What's with this word, clunky? everyone seems to be throwing it about the forums of late.

I think it could do with a little tightening up but you know that already.

There goes another potential idea for Jim & Joan

I think it's more that a good sketch is lean and pacy and goes straight where it's going so you almost don't see it till your laughing.

Anything that slows it down or makes you say oh I see where you're going is clunky.

I always refer to something being clunky when the dialogue sounds unnatural and unrealistic. I suppose slowing down is the same thing.

haha I liked it. Although I'm not to sure if the cop is needed.

I liked it. It put me in mind of this a little.

That's one of my favourite films of all time I'm glad it made you think of it.
I can't believe no one else has thought of bank robbing mimes before.
