Shoe Shine

EXT. DAY. SHOE SHINE SEAT.

A MAN SITS DOWN ON SEAT.

MAN:
Do you do extras?

WORKER:
I shine boots, £25.

MAN:
No, I mean, extras, I'll make it worth your while.

WORKER:
I'm not sure I follow you sir.

MAN:
I want you to shine something for me, name your price.

WORKER:
I don't do no funny business, I shine shoes sir.

MAN: (brings roll of cash out)
Here's two hundred quid.

WORKER:
Oh my, things are pretty tight with me and the missus. Ok, what is it?

MAN: (whispering)
Shine the two hundred quid and I'll give you a crisp tenner.

Clever funny could be a tad shorter, it's obvious enough not to need explanation.

Thanks, I made it a bit shorter.

Ha! I like it.
