EXT. NIGHT. SPOOKY LOOKING BED AND BREAKFAST

INT. BATHROOM DOOR
THE DOOR IS PUSHED SLOWLY OPEN. WE HEAR A SHOWER RUNNING AND SEE A WOMAN SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE SHOWER CURTAIN.

INT.SHOWER
THE WOMAN SHOWERING IS OBLIVIOUS TO THE FIGURE WE CAN SEE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE CURTAIN CLUTCHING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A KNIFE IN THEIR RAISED RIGHT HAND. THE SHOWER CURTAIN IS SUDDENLY PUSHED ASIDE TO REVEAL A MAN DRESSED AS A HAMSTER CLUTCHING THE GNAWED CARDBOARD INNER TUBE FROM A KITCHEN ROLL. THE WOMAN SCREAMS AS THE MAN BEGINS TO STAB AT HER WHILST GOING EEK! EEK! EEK! ALA THE SOUNDTRACK FROM PSYCHO

SCENE 1. INT. MOTEL RECEPTION

FILMED IN BLACK AND WHITE, MOODILY LIT.

A BLONDE IS WAITING, WHILE THE RECEPTIONIST, HIS BACK TO US, REACHES FOR A KEY. WE DO NOT SEE HIM DISTINCTLY AND HIS VOICE IS SLIGHTLY MUFFLED.

RECEPTIONIST :
Will you be staying with us long?

BLONDE:
Just the one night.

RECEPTIONIST:
Well if you need anything, just call for me.

BLONDE:
Will do. What's your name?

THE RECEPTIONST TURNS ROUND AND HANDS HER THE KEY.

RECEPTIONIST:
Norman.

HE IS WEARING A FLAT CAP PUSHED BACK ON HIS HEAD, HIS JACKET IS HANGING OFF HIS SHOULDERS, AND HE IS GRINNING BROADLY.

CUT TO:

SCENE 2. EXT. A HANGING NEON SIGN, "PITKIN MOTEL".

BERNARD HERMANN'S THEME TO 'PSYCHO' KICKS IN.

SCENE 3. INT. MOTEL BATHROOM.

THE BLONDE IS TAKING A SHOWER. THE CAMERA LINGERS ON THE WATER RUNNING DOWN HER BODY, INTERSPERSED WITH SHOTS OF THE SHOWERHEAD.

A KNIFE SLASHES THE SHOWER CURTAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, THE INSISTANT PSYCHO THEME PLAYING AS IT DOES.

AND THE KNIFE GETS SNAGGED. NORMAN, FOR IT IS HE, TRIES TO FREE IT. AND AS HE DOES SO THE CURTAIN PULLS AWAY FROM ITS HANGINGS, WRAPPING ITSELF AROUND HIM. STRUGGLING TO FREE HIMSELF NORMAN ENDS UP IN A TANGLED HEAP ON THE FLOOR.

THE BLONDE LEANS OVER HIM, COVERNG HER BITS WITH HER HANDS.

BLONDE:
I say, are you all right?

NORMAN THRASHES SOME MORE, WAVING HIS KNIFE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FREE HIMSELF.

BLONDE:
Do you need a hand.

NORMAN:
No, no, I'll be all right in a moment.

BLONDE:
You couldn't be a dear and pass me the towel? It's over there on the radiator.

STILL LYING ON THE FLOOR, NORMAN REACHES FOR THE TOWEL, AND PULLS ON IT. IT IS CAUGHT UP. HE TUGS AGAIN AND THE RADIATOR COMES AWAY FROM THE WALL. WATER SPURTS INTO THE ROOM, SOAKING NORMAN AS HE LIES TANGLED IN THE CURTAIN ON THE FLOOR.

BLONDE:
You just wait there. I'll see if I can rustle up someone to help.

SHE STEPS OVER HIM

BLONDE:
Won't be a jiff.

THE BLONDE GOES INTO THE BEDROOM. NORMAN SUCCEEDS IN STANDING, STILL HOPELESSLY WRAPPED IN THE CURTAIN. HE STAGGERS ABOUT.

BLONDE:
(PICKING UP THE PHONE IN THE BEDROOM) The fittings in these old motels are really just too shoddy.

NORMAN INADVERTENTLY GRABS HOLD OF THE DRAW CORD SWITCH FOR THE BATHROOM HEATER, AND TUGS ON IT. THE HEATER COMES AWAY, LANDING ON THE WET FLOOR. STILL WRAPPED IN THE CURTAIN NORMAN SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS HE IS ELECTROCUTED.

NORMAN:
Oooh! Mr. Grimsdale!

BLONDE:
One of these days someone is going to have a nasty accident.

NORMAN FALLS CRACKING HIS HEAD ON THE EDGE OF THE SHOWER TRAY. PSYCHO THEME KICKS IN TO THE SIGHT OF BLOOD RUNNING DOWN THE PLUGHOLE. THE CAMERA FOCUSSES ON NORMAN'S DEAD EYE.

END.

So, these three midgets walk into a minibar...

INT. A B&B/FAMILY HOME - NIGHT

A husband and wife are showing a business man(Mr Felix) up some stairs. The place is very homey.

HUSBAND
Yeah so we've only just really got into the whole bed and breakfast thing. Just to get a bit of extra money you know, so we've only got the one bed at the moment

They reach a door and walk in. It is a little boy's room, covered in toys, spaceship wall paper, and the little boy(James) playing with some cars in the floor.

WIFE
James, this is Mr Felix. He's staying with us tonight so we want you to be on your best behavior. Ok?

HUSBAND
(Leading Mr Felix to a bunk bed in the corner, stepping over the toys on the floor)
And here is your bed for the night

Mr Felix looks at Husband as if to say "Are you serious?". Husband just smiles back and Mr Felix then realises that he is serious, and reluctantly climbs into the top bunk and pulls the covers over himself with a look of puzzlement on his face.

WIFE
Good night you two

Husband and wife leave the room. James is making car noises as he plays with the cars on the floor. Mr Felix is just lying in bed looking like he doesn't know what's going on.

A drunk staggers into a B&B. Drunk says, 'I shheen the shign on sa door pal, now wheres sa bread and buckfast?'

A woman is lying in bed, she hears sizzling and smells something interesting.

She looks under the covers, revealing a filthy miniture kitchen; her family are inside; her yongest son frying bacon, her daughter mangling oranges and her husband supervising. They look up and see her

All: Happy Mothers Day!

Woman: Awww (to camera) I do like it when they make me breakfast in bed.

The woman settles back down, then wakes up again...

Woman: Are you... cooking my foot?

Daughters voice: We ran out of bacon...

SEASIDE BANK HOLIDAY

EXT. - A WILD WINDY SEAFRONT - EVENING

YOUNG COUPLE MARK AND EMMA ARE STRUGGLING AGAINST THE WIND WITH THEIR OVERNIGHT BAGS. THEY PASS A SERIES OF GUEST HOUSES ALL DISPLAYING "NO VACANCIES" SIGNS.

EMMA
I told you we should have booked!

MARK IS SILENT AS THEY BATTLE ON.

LATER...

THE COUPLE ARE FLAGGING AS THEY PASS YET ANOTHER "NO VACANCIES" SIGN. EMMA GIVES MARK A FOUL LOOK.

LATER...

AS THEY GO PAST MORE "NO VACANCIES", IN THE DISTANCE A NEON SIGN IN A WINDOW SAYS "VACANCIES"

MARK
I told you!

THEY QUICKEN UP. AS THEY GET NEARER WE SEE THE LANDLADY IN THE WINDOW FIDDLING WITH THE FAULTY SIGN, WHICH BY NOW IS FLICKERING BETWEEN "VACANCIES" AND "NO VACANCIES". IT EVENTUALLY SETTLES ON "VACANCIES", JUST AS SHE BECOMES AWARE OF MARK AND EMMA APPROACHING THE DOOR. SHE SMILES OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW.

INT. - GUEST HOUSE LOBBY - EVENING

MARK HAS PEN IN HAND READY TO REGISTER, AS THE LANDLADY EXPLAINS THINGS TO HIM AND EMMA.

LANDLADY
It is quite a small room...

MARK
Well, everywhere else is full. What do you think, Em?

EMMA
We're desperate.

LANDLADY
And it's only a continental breakfast...

MARK
Okay with me. Em's vegetarian anyway.

EMMA
Yes. And we're desparate.

LANDLADY
It's a shared bathroom, is that okay?

BEFORE MARK HAS A CHANCE TO SPEAK, EMMA GRABS THE PEN AND STARTS TO REGISTER

EMMA
We're desperate. That will be fine.

MARK SMILES AT THE LANDLADY APOLOGETICALLY.

MARK
Thank you.

LATER...

INT. - BEDROOM - NIGHT

CLOSE UP ON EMMA (ASLEEP) AND MARK (WIDE AWAKE, STARING), WRAPPED IN A STAINED DUVET WITH THEIR HEADS ON PILLOWS.

F/X: A LOUD FARTING SOUND.

EMMA STIRS AND IS HALF-AWAKE.

EMMA
Mark!

MARK
Don't blame me.

EMMA STIRS FURTHER, WAKES PROPERLY AND REMEMBERS WITH HORROR THE SAD TRUTH AS WE PULL BACK AND REVEAL THEY ARE LYING ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM. WE SEE A DRUNKEN 20-SOMETHING MAN ON THE TOILET. HE BELCHES.

MAN ON TOILET
Won't be long now.

MARK (TO EMMA)
It's a shared bathroom, she said. That'll be fine, you said.

F/X: AN ANXIETY-FILLED KNOCK ON THE DOOR

MALE VOICE (O/S)
Hurry up Coxy, I'm desperate!

MAN ON TOILET
Nnnnnnrrrgghhhhhhhhhhh!

ON MARK AND EMMA. F/X: LOUD SPLASH. MARK HANDS OVER SOME SHEETS OF TOILET ROLL TO THE MAN ON THE TOILET.

END.

BED 'N' BREAKFAST BLUES

HOTEL RECEPTION.
A suited 'n' booted CUSTOMER talks to a polite RECEPTIONIST.

CUSTOMER: Hello I'd like to reserve a room please.

RECEPTIONIST: Yes of course.

CUSTOMER: A room that smells of poo.

RECEPTIONIST: I'm sorry?

CUSTOMER: Yes a room that reeks of fetid poo, with pee all over the lamp-shades and the previous client's sperm all over the floor-boards.

RECEPTIONIST: Sir this is a respectable hotel, we can't…

CUSTOMER: And I'd like a television that doesn't work properly, just pumps out crappy MTV all the time I'm trying to watch something decent, then the moment I do get the damn remote control to work the whole set explodes in my face and leaves me looking like a Black-And-White-Minstrel-Show reject.

RECEPTIONIST: But Sir we…

CUSTOMER: Then I'd like a wake-up call at twenty past seven, only of course you silly sods get it wrong and wake me up at noon or don't wake me up at all so I end up missing my train and getting sacked.

RECEPTIONIST: Sir if you don't stop I'll have to call the police.

CUSTOMER: Wonderful! Call the cops and put me in a prison cell all night.

Receptionist flees.

CUSTOMER: The trouble I have getting a good old British holiday.

MAN ENTERS A BED AND BREAKFAST.
WALKS UP TO THE RECEPTIONIST.

MAN: Hello, I'd like bed and breakfast please. For one night.

RECEPTIONIST: Certainly, Sir. That'll be ten pounds please.

MAN: Wow. That's value for money. I'll take it.

RECEPTIONIST: Okay. Would you like a room with that?

MAN: Sorry? I don't get what you mean.

RECEPTIONIST: You've only ordered a bed and some breakfast, Sir.

MAN: Surely, it comes with a room.

RECEPTIONIST: Don't be so silly, Sir. Bed and breakfast doesn't come with a room. That's extra.

MAN: Eh? Never heard of that before.

RECEPTIONIST: I don't know what other places you've been to, Sir, but here we don't tolerate such nonsense.

MAN: But... if the bed's not in a room, where will it be?

RECEPTIONIST: In the back yard with all the others. Deary me! I can see you're new to this. I'm right, aren't I?

MAN: Oh, okay, you win. How much extra for the room?

RECEPTIONIST: Three hundred pounds.

MAN: Three hundred pounds???

RECEPTIONIST: Is there a parrot in here? Yes, Sir. That includes luxuries such as digital TV, a free mini-bar and... a ceiling.

MAN: Oh. Have you got anything cheaper?

RECEPTIONIST: Yes. If you order a room for the night, that's ten pounds.

MAN: Fine, I'll take it. Oh, I'll be soooo glad to get in that bed tonight.

RECEPTIONIST: Bed? The room doesn't come with a bed. That's extra.

Remember - entries till 14 NOV, then votin' till MIDNIGHT TUES!

BED & BREAKFAST
==================

F/X:CASH TILL BEEPING AND ROLLING

MADAM:
So, that's massage leading to foreplay followed by full sex doggy-style with four shouts of 'Ramp it up, bigboy!' and one assertion of a massive cock. If you'll just type your PIN number here please...

F/X:FIVE BEEPS

MAN:
That's excellent. Now, what time is breakfast served?

MADAM:
Excuse me?

MAN:
Breakfast -- is it between seven and nine?

MADAM:
Erm... we... erm... don't--

MAN:
It's just I have an important early meeting tomorrow so I'd like to be down as soon as it's available.

MADAM:
I'm afraid we don't do breakfast, sir.

MAN:
But it's up on that pricelist there. 'Full English', 'Eggs Benedict', 'Tea Bags £5 each'.

MADAM:
They're not breakfasts, sir, they're exclusivities.

MAN:
They do seem a bit pricey, now I'm looking at it again...

MADAM:
No, sir. I mean (LEANS IN) we don't provide breakfast for the discerning customer.

MAN:
Oh, that's a shame. Tell you what: I'll give breakfast a miss and come in later for a big 'Hot Lunch'. Can I pay now?

MADAM:
By all means, sir. By all means...

END
