Don't hold back
If I've used the incorrect job titles, then this sketch is f**ked
By the way, it's for the stage, hence the weird setting.
INT. OFFICE
Gordon Brown sits on a chair, staring blankly into the distance.
Across the way sits one of Gordon's Aids, who's on the phone finishing a conversation.
He turns his attention to Gordon.
AID
Mr. Prime Minister?
(No response)
Mr. Prime Minister?
(Still no response)
Oi, Gordon!
GORDON
Me?
AID
Yes, Mr. Prime Minister.
GORDON
Sorry, I'm still not used to that. What's up Aid?
AID
It's Tony, Mr. Prime Minister.
GORDON
No, it's Gordon, Tony left.
AID
No, my name is Tony.
GORDON
That must have been confusing?
AID
Only when he referred to himself in third person, sir.
GORDON
Gordon's often thought about doing that Tony.
AID
(Joking)
Tony doesn't think that's a very good idea, sir.
GORDON
(Concerned)
He doesn't?
AID
(Point to himself)
I meant this Tony, sir.
GORDON
(Relieved)
Oh right.
AID
Actually Mr. Prime Minister, I have Tony on the phone.
Gordon stares puzzled at the statement.
AID (Continued)
The other Tony, sir.
GORDON
Oh right.
AID
On line 1, sir.
GORDON
(Playful wink)
Gordon thanks you Tony.
The Aid transfers the call. Gordon picks up the phone.
GORDON
Hello Tony, you old dog.
(Laughs)
Hows the misses?
(Laughs)
So Tony, I was-
AID
(Interrupting)
Yes, sir?
GORDON
(To the Aid)
What?
AID
Sorry, I thought you meant me, sir.
GORDON
No the other one.
GORDON (CONTINUED)
(To the phone)
So Tony-
AID
(Interrupting)
Yes, sir?
GORDON
(To the Aid)
Oh, you've done it again.
AID
Sorry sir. You're right though, it is very confusing.
GORDON
It's okay, but if I say Tony again, I mean the other Tony.
AID
Of course sir, sorry again.
The aid busies himself with paperwork. A second Aid enters, bringing some files to the first Aid.
GORDON
(To the phone)
So Tony-
(Looks at the Aid, no response)
-I was just thinking. Maybe we should go out one night?
(Laughs)
Of course, bring the wives.
(Laughs)
When, I'll have to check my diary, just a moment.
(To the Aid)
Tony?
(No response)
Tony?
(Still no response)
Oi, Aid!
SECOND AID
Yes, Mr. Prime Minister?
GORDON
Sorry, who are you?
SECOND AID
I'm Adrian, your second Aid, Mr. Prime Minister.
GORDON
Sorry, I wanted Tony.
SECOND AID
I believe he's on line 1, Mr. Prime Minister.
GORDON
Sorry, I meant my First Aid.
SECOND AID
You want first aid, Mr. Prime Minister?
GORDON
I think so, yes?
SECOND AID
Gordon?
GORDON
Yes?
SECOND AID
(Point to the first Aid)
Sorry I meant him.
GORDON
But his name is Tony.
SECOND AID
I know but we called him Gordon so we wouldn't get confused.
GORDON
Why Gordon?
AID
Yes?
GORDON
Sorry, I was talking to Aide.
SECOND AID
It's because his name is Tony Gordon, sir.
GORDON
(To phone)
Oh, come back Tony.
