Small profits

We see four Western business men in suits sitting around a table in Far Eastern style office.

1st MAN
"The unit price is incredible"

2nd MAN
"Plus unions are not an issue"

3rd MAN
"Neither is Health & Safety"

4th MAN
"But is it ethical? I've heard they use kids as young as 6 in their factories"

1st MAN
"That's a load of bull fed to the press by competitors. Would I set you guys up with an outfit that uses child labour?"

A boy aged about 11 dressed in a vest and underpants comes in smoking a cigarette

The 4th man speaks to the 1st man in a low voice

4th Man
"So they don't use kids eh"

1st MAN
"Keep your voice down, he's the manager"

Now that's funny!

Yeah nice one and in a visual context it would play even better, with some good actors and facial expressions.
