Die Party

BERLIN 1942

HIMMLER: Right Adolf! It's about time we had a good think about this Invasion of Russia and what might go wrong, y'know leave no stone unturned.

HITLER:
I was hoping we could discuss the Party I wanted to throw.

HIMMLER:
Oh Adolf you are naughty, talking about parties in the middle of a war, now come on let's start planning a nice bit of Genocide.

HITLER:
It won't be just any old Party my friend. I am planning to throw the biggest Ball that the World has ever seen, It would be the perfect opportunity to show off my power & wealth to the nobility of Europe and have a bit of a boogie.

HIMMLER:
With all due respect I think we should be concentrating our efforts on urging Japan to declare war on Russia. Planning a Ball seems to be an unnecessary distraction.

HITLER:
Nonsense, In fact I think it's such a good idea that I may throw two of them.

HIMMLER:
Two Balls? Mein Got.

HITLER:
Oh come on, you must admit it does have a nice ring to it.

HIMMLER:
It sounds stupid that's what it does, why would anyone want to have two Balls, It makes it seem that one isn't good enough.

HITLER:
Hmmm, I just think it sounds better, I don't know why.

HIMMLER:
Look why don't we compromise. You can have one Ball & I'll have something similar.

GOEBELS:
What's all this about Balls?

HIMMLER:
It's nothing to do with you Goebels! Keep out of this.

HITLER:
Oh come on let me have two balls

HIMMLER:
Nein!

HITLER;
I don't want that many.

HIMMLER:
Come on Adolf, one is more than enough! Stop being so bossy.

HITLER:
Well I really wanted to have Two, but I don't want to be remembered as someone who didn't know how to compromise so we'll go with your idea.

HIMMLER:
I mean it's not as if it's going to look bad or give anyone the wrong idea at any time in the future is it?

HITLER:
I suppose not, YAWN Right you two make yourself scarce I'm going to have Fiertzig winks

HIMMLER:
Come one Goebels let's go and grab a schnitzel. The Fuhrer looks like he's half knackered.

END

i have to say this one for me is a miss

its a long sketch with some puns about an old joke, kinda doesn't go anywhere sorry

Fair enough.
Cheers for giving it a read.

At least I can cross Hitler Sketch off my list.

I like the premise. But surely a suggested venue for one ball must be the Albert hall?

Bo.

Of course!
Doh!

*Nicked for unlikely rewrite.

I am surprised you missed out on Adolf protesting that Goerring had two, only to be informed that, yes, but only family and friends were invited.

I was thinking of having one here, & another one in England perhaps in the Albert hall.

HIMMLER:
But You having Two Balls just seems silly.
.
HITLER:
Goerring had two you know!

HIMMLER:
Really, I hadn't noticed.

HITLER:
I just think it sounds better, I don't know why.

HIMMLER:

HITLER:
Who's in charge here?

Look why don't we compromise. You can have one Ball & I'll have something similar.

Aah now I get it! Much better than I thought originally.

Maybe you need something a bit more obvious? Arthur Askey or Norman Wisdom as spys serving drinks?

Or the band strikes up with Colonel Bogey in celebration?

Nice one Steve. Second version is an improvement on a good original. Love that moment when the penny drops for the reader/viewer.

This is clever. Maybe too clever.

But there is something not quite right with it, but I don't know what.

Cheers for the second read SootyJ.
And thanks BigFella.
I had a good idea of the sketch apart from the payoff.
But although I like it, I'm not convinced by it either.
