Magic Beans

Just a little sketch. Interested in your views.

MAGIC BEANS
Gordon Brown is sat in his office and Alistair Darling runs in.
AD: Gordon, Gordon
GB: What's the matter.
AD: Gordon, we're saved!
GB: Saved? Who's saved?
AD: Us, the Government.....the economy.
GB: What? How?
AD: I've done a deal on the money markets.
GB: Okay tell me.
AD: Well, as the pound is falling, I thought that I would exchange it.
GB: Cracking idea number 2
AD: So I swapped 160 billion quid.
GB: Great move. What did you swap it for? Euro's? Dollars? Yen?
AD: No, These.
AD OPENS PALM TO SHOW A HANDFUL OF BEANS
GB: What the f**k are those?
AD: Magic beans.
GB: Magic beans? You are a wanker sometimes Darling.
AD: No wait. The man said we should plant them in the garden and by morning all our problems will be over.
IN THE MORNING GB AND AD GO OUTSIDE AND SEE A GIANT BEANSTALK HAS GROWN.
AD: F**k me!
GB: So how is it going to solve all our problems?
A HUGE TURD FALLS FROM THE SKY AND CRUSHES AD AND GB. AD's HEAD APPEARS OUT OF THE TURD.
AD: F**king Giant Shit.

Like the concept - don't particularly like the ending.
Having said that,I can't think of anything better!

Maybe the giant and his family come down from the beanstalk as immigrants or something.

I like this, if you could make it a more stage friendly punchline it would be worth punting it to NR/TS.

Albeit could also be a tad more current,

Also you could capture the characters a little more.

Otherwise top stuff.
