The Hole

INT. HOME.

A MAN IS PEERING INTO A SMALL HOLE IN BEDROOM WALL.

MAN:
How did this hole get here?

WOMAN:
I don't know, maybe you should call the hole police, they'll tell you.

MAN:
What are you talking about? (PAUSE) Wench.

WOMAN:
I know, it's our pet woodpecker.

MAN:
Woodpecker? What are you on?

WOMAN:
Maybe, just maybe, there's a hidden fibre optic camera recording our every move.

MAN:
Shut up. It's a tiny hole that a nail would make and...

WOMAN: (interrupting)
Yeah and it's in the middle of a square that's a different shade. The whole room will be the same colour soon, seepage.

MAN:
Seepage? It's obviously a...

WOMAN:
Asbestos, yes, you've hit the nail on the head. Brick cancer, highly contagious. I'm going on Ebay to look for dust masks.

MAN:
Stop your tomfoolery! (PAUSE) I remember, a picture used to hang there.

WOMAN:
Bingo shit for brains!

MAN:
It was a picture of me, me and, and my wedding day, yes.

WOMAN:
Your first wife's dead, get over it.

It's got a certain WTF charm.

Well, I did go "WTF?"

Yes, very WTFy.

What the f**ky can work, might I suggest a little bit to the end?

Your first wife's dead.

Then who are you?

Brick Cancer. Likes.

I'm not sure Balf's addition improves the wtf quotient for me.

Works for me. It tackles brick cancer head on. A noble effort. Thank you, Sir.

Very good, a bit fluffy in places but loved the ending. :)
