THEY HAVE THE CUSTOMARY DARK GLASSES. CHRIS THE CARE ASSISTANT IS WATCHING AS THEY REGULARLY MISS THE PINS BUMP INTO ONE ANOTHER AND FALL OVER.

HE IS SUDDENLY AWARE OF SOMEONE STANDING BEHIND HIM. HE IS ALSO WEARING DARK GLASSES.

Chris: Oh hello can I help you?

Dave: Hi. Yes. I'm Dave and I'd like to join your club.

Chris: Brilliant! I'm Chris and we're always looking for new members. Have you played ten pin bowling before? You're quite welcome to join us and it's a good way to meet other members.

Dave: I love bowling, it's probably my favourite sport.

Chris: There's a ten pound prize today as well for the best bowler so go for it! Now let me help you and we'll go and get you a ball.

CHRIS GUIDES DAVE TO A BALL AND THEN LEADS HIM TO A ROPE MARKING THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE.

DVDelight

A living room.
DAVE is watching his favourite DVD…

DAVE This is great this, I really…

GRATING VOICE This was a very difficult scene to make actually.

DAVE (jump) Who the hell are you?

VOICE I am Frances the director and this is my DVD commentary.

DAVE Shut up!

VOICE Now there's a fascinating anecdote attached to this scene. The producer was a real stickler was punctuality and when we did this sequence one of the actors – that's him now – yerse he was three seconds late on set but by a curious coincidence the producer had been to a party the previous evening so did himself arrive four seconds late and would probably've turned a blind eye to it anyroads.

DAVE Go AWAY!

PAUSE.

DAVE That's better… (moved) This scene's so beautiful, (sob) it's so moving, every time I see it I just…

VOICE Yerse it's one of my favourites too…

DAVE You bastard, you've just ruined my…

VOICE It was my idea to use a special digital camera to highlight the tears on the heroine's cheeks and we felt it was a simply marvellous touch…

DAVE Right that's it.

He gets up, turns the DVD off.

VOICE What a ghastly thing to doooooooo…

DAVE Now SHUT UP! (flicks the remote control) Nothing to watch, just…

GROANING FROM THE TELLY.

DAVE This is amazing – just look at those two saucepots, they – oh my God, I think I… Ah no. Frances is gonna ruin this too. (flicks off the telly) Think I'll read some poetry instead. (picks up book, starts reading)

VOICE Poof.

====================
TOTAL MONOPOLY
====================
F/X: MONEY BEING COUNTED OUT

HENRY
(LICKS FINGER) 300, 400, 500! That's all I have!

RUPERT
It's not enough...

HENRY
Well, how about I sell the hotel on Mayfair?

RUPERT
You'll have to sell the place on Park Lane too.

HENRY
Really?

RUPERT
Them's the rules.

HENRY
Will that be enough?

RUPERT
(LAUGHS) Nowhere near!

HENRY
Okay then, I'll get rid of all the houses on Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street.

RUPERT
And the empty plots...

HENRY
This is disgraceful. Can't you do anything?

RUPERT:
Hey, I'm just your accountant. I wish you'd never got involved in the sub-prime mortgage market to begin with…

TWO YOUNG GO-GETTERS ARE SHOOTING THE BREEZE IN A MODERN OFFICE.

GAV: Hey BeeMeister, I hear you've got something new going on. Why don't you flip open the idea & give your old compadre a little snifter.

BJ: Oil your nostrils up good big guy, I think this ones a winner.
Answer me this! Which household chore do Women hate the most?

GAV: Well as long as we're not talking about your wife, then I'd have to say ironing.

BJ: You're spot on my old chumster, both about the ironing and about my wife finding me physically repulsive.
Now then, What do you think that most women would rather do than ironing?

GAV: I'm thinking shopping, I'm thinking gossiping.

BJ: Exactamundo! Shopping & Gossiping. Or Shossiping as I like to call it, and more specifically ..?

GAV: Shoe shossiping?

BJ: Button Banged once again G man! Now as you know, a lady cannot shoe shossip alone, so where is our young filly going to meet her fellow Sheshoeshossipers..

GAV: Well at some stage they're going to require something chocolate or cake- like, and those sort of things don't wash themselves down. I suppose It'd have to be a coffee shop of some sort.

BJ: Until chocolate shops start selling hot drinks, that's exactly where they'll have to go, but I can see what you're thinking..

GAV: Yes, I'm thinking that you haven't said anything about the actual product and seem to have completely ignored the Ironing that you mentioned earlier.

BJ: Ignored the ironing have I? Well, heres the clever part.

GAV: My minds on stand by, just waiting for you to switch it on & blow it away.

BJ: What if you could condense the whole Shoeshossiping experience while simultaneously handling all the modern womans Ironing needs in a fraction of the time.

GAV: Surely you not suggesting some kind of mobile coffee flavoured chocolate Ironing Shoe.

BJ: Throw in a USB power connection and that's exactly what I'm suggesting.

GAV: I hate to break this to ya Starman, but I'm pretty damn sure that I've seen these in the shops, maybe not coffee flavoured but still...

BJ: Typical! If it seems like a simple idea, then chances are it's been done already.
