WAG LIE

AN EXTREMELY ORANGE WOMAN IN SKIMPY CLOTHING IS STOOD FILING HER NAILS; ENTER A MAN (20's, ALSO BRIGHT ORANGE) IN FOOTBALL KIT WITH OBLIGATORY SILLY GELLED HAIRSTYLE.

CARLY
[CHAVVY] Oh, so the wanderer returns! What's the excuse this time? You had to catch a streaker and escort her home?

ROBERTO
[SPANISH ACCENT] No. Look, Carly I have something I must tell you.

CARLY
I've gotta get my eyebrows dyed in a minute, can't it wait?

ROBERTO
No Carly, It cannot wait…

CARLY
Oh god, you ain't cheated on me again 'ave ya? The Paparazzi'll be outside waiting for me and I ain't 'ad my 'air done. [CARLY POOFS HER HAIR]

ROBERTO
No, no it's not that. Oh Carly, I just don't know how to tell you this.

CARLY
What? Oh no, don't tell me you've signed for a non-premiership team?!

ROBERTO
Well…

CARLY
What?! just tell me!

ROBERTO
Ok. [SIGHS] I'm not really a footballer.

CARLY
Oh my god! Oh my god! No, no, no, tell me ain't true Roberto?!

ROBERTO
[ACCENT CHANGES TO POSH SOUTHERN] Erm, actually it's just Robert. I'm from St Albans, not Barcelona.

CARLY
[DISBELIEVING] Nah, you're winding me up. I mean, what about all the pictures of you winning the FA Cup, the Champions league…?

ROBERTO
Photoshop. I just pasted my head on…didn't you ever wonder why my arms and legs were black?

CARLY
I thought it was a body sock! So what do you really do then? Ooo, ooo! Are you a criminal?!

ROBERTO
Nope.

CARLY
Please tell me you're at least a builder?!

ROBERTO
I'm sorry Carly, I'm a doctor.

CARLY
Oh Christ, you actually work hard for a living! [CARLY HEAVES]

ROBERTO
I can't tell you how difficult it's been lying to you all this time Carly, at least now we can stop living a lie.

CARLY
Oh yeah, great! So now there's no point in me keeping the dog in my handbag, covering my face when I come out of a restaurant or even being orange [CARLY WIPES HER MAKE-UP STROPPILY], I'll just be like any old boring, human being!

* ROBERTO
Being a doctor's wife doesn't mean you'll be boring, maybe we could play doctors and nurses. [HE LOOKS AT CARLY SUGGESTIVELY]

CARLY
'ang on, if you're a doctor 'ow come you didn't give my mum CPR the night she died?

ROBERTO
Uhm…

* ALTERNATE ENDING

ROBERTO
Well, you could go back to being an aeronautic engineer.

CARLY
[POSH ACCENT] If I must!

Both versions are funny

ROBERTO
. . . didn't you ever wonder why my arms and legs were black?

CARLY

is top class.

The first line is excellent and the second is a superb follow-up. Cool

Thanks Roodeye! Very good of you to read (and give feedback to) so many things on critique.
:)

Nice Giggle. Liked it.

:)

It would have put:

CARLY:

Oh, so when we were having that wild sex party with all those guys and you had your finger's up their anus's...

ROBERTO:...Checking prostate's..Yep.

:D

That would most definitely be the post water shed version!

I think I might prefer the second ending. The first is arguably funnier, but maybe sticking to the class/profession theme is better than introducing a new character just for the punch. Just a thought.

Vin Unleaded?

Vin Unleaded?

Who have you been talking to?

I have my sources. ;)

yep, first line is killer, keen on the "at least a builder" too.

A lovely idea, really nice - and I'd go with the alternative ending.

Thanks Scratchyr and R.J. Nice to know some people appreciate my work *flap cravat around my neck and flounce off to the knocking shop*.
