Suffragettes

3 SUFFRAGETTES ARE IN PRISON, THEY LOOK HAGARD AND BEATEN (JANE, CLARE, AND CARRIE)

JANE

Chin up girls the struggle for votes and justice is worth it.

CLARE

But it's so hard, I protested at Westminster and the police beat me for two days.

JANE

I delivered a petition to Number 10 and Special Branch shot me.

CARRIE

Carrie had been sitting in a cafe talking about Blahniks and big willies, when the police dragged her away. This was typical for an upper Mnahattan girl about town.

JANE

What the blazes are you talking about?

CLARE

Leave her alone, I think she went mad when they force fed her on her last hunger strike.

JANE

Sorry we sisters must stick together. I long for the day when we all will have the vote.

CLARE

When vicious male politicians won't send our sons to pointless wars.

CARRIE

Carrie Bradshaw longed for the day when Blhanik would release it's winter range.

JANE

So help me I am going to box her ears.

CLARE

Oh Jane you're so passionate, but Carrie may have a point. Maybe after we get the vote, woman MPs and an end to war.

JANE

They'll be time for fun, frivolity and what ever a Blhanik is.

2 POLICE MEN APPEAR AT THE CELL DOOR ONE HAS A STRAIGHT JACKET THE OTHER A TRUNCHEON.

POLICE1

Carrie Bradshaw time for your interrogation.

CARRIE

Carrie was going to meet Mr Big finally, 2 Mr Bigs.

THE POLICE TAKE HER AWAY.

JANE

Poor deluded Carrie.

CLARE

Yes every one knows it's about the Fendi handbags.

Hey, not bad! But I had to read it twice before I got over the shock of you spelling 'suffragettes' correctly Angelic

Thanks I am nothing if not quixotic.
