Special Agents.

EXT. PARK - AFTERNOON

Two special agents meet on a park bench.

LEFT MAN
Do you have the files?

RIGHT MAN
No, it's just the way I'm sat.

LEFT MAN
Do you have the backup files?

RIGHT MAN
No, I'm not that way inclined.

LEFT MAN
What is the secret password?

RIGHT MAN
I'm not telling you.

LEFT MAN
Have you been contacted by any other agents?

RIGHT MAN
Only the news.

LEFT MAN
And what did they say?

RIGHT MAN
You haven't been paying for your paper.

LEFT MAN
They know about the paper?

RIGHT MAN
They think they know about the paper!

LEFT MAN
You sent them off track?

RIGHT MAN
Yes, I've actually not been paying for two papers.

LEFT MAN
Has any information been leaked?

RIGHT MAN
Why, have the lines been tapped?

LEFT MAN
Have you been bugged?

RIGHT MAN
Question after question, you can't blame me.

LEFT MAN
Has the operation been compromised?

RIGHT MAN
Well I think the doctor was drunk, but what's new?

LEFT MAN
Doctor who?

RIGHT MAN
Is that the time, Lord I better go.

LEFT MAN
Are you sure you can handle the sensitive material?

RIGHT MAN
Well I am an emotional man, but I think I'll cope.

After a very 'Bottom' opening this became nice and snappy, a few groaners (but that's not a bad thing) and a few excellent lines. I liked the play on bugged. And the newspaper lines appealed too. Laughing out loud

Pleased

Thank you A. I'm particularly pleased with the newspaper lines myself. It was going to be longer, but I think I'll of just added more 'groaners'.

Laughing out loud

Yeah liked it Lee... you've got snappy one liners down to an art at the moment Lee, are you part Jewish?

I wish!

Some good lines in this Lee. I can just see it being fimed on a park bench in Chigwell. :O

Very good sketch Lee. Especially considering you wrote it off the top of your head.

I'm resisting the urge to respond to your Jewish remark Paul Laughing out loud

:D

Nice and sharp, Leevil. I liked the 'bugged' line as well (not a pun!)

are you part Jewish?

Yes, I have to admit these people are all born with comic genious already.

Totally unbiased there, eh Ian? ;)
