I'm bored... here's some bollocks...

Pete's House - Day

RICKY: Hey dude, what's up with your arms?

PETE: What do you mean?

RICKY: They're growing, really quickly!

PETE: Oh my god! What the hell is going on?

RICKY: You look like Mr. Tickle.

PETE: How does that help?

RICKY: Puts it in perspective.

PETE: What?! Arghh, it's freaking me out! Call an ambulance!

RICKY: And say what?

PETE: Tell them to send one here, just do something!

Ricky picks up and dials 999 on the phone.

RICKY: Ah, it's a machine. I hate these things.

PETE: Did you call the right number?

RICKY: I dialed 999. It must be an American phone.

He hangs up and dials 911.

RICKY: Hello? ... Yes ... It's my friend ... he needs an ambulance ... yeah ... no ... his arms are growing ... no, I'm serious ... yes, Mr. Tickle. Does this happen often? ... Really? ... 87 Streat Street, London, England ... yep ... ok, thank you.

He hangs up.

PETE: Well?

RICKY: They're sending an ambulance.

PETE: How long will it be?

RICKY: 11:30am... Tuesday.

PETE: Oh, well. I can't complain about that then.

RICKY: What you going to do in the mean time?

PETE: Might as well clean the guttering.

Ricky nods.

END

Well, it tickled me.

Yeah, fast-paced and liked the Mr Tickle lines.

Nicely odd. Liked it.

Cheers fellas.

tickled me too

I liked this. I liked it a lot.

Yeah - it's quite nice.

At the line:
PETE: How long will it be?

should Rick not say something like 'about this long' (putting arms apart) and then say - 'no - that's not long enough. You do it'

or is that a bit obvious?

Liked the punchline a lot.

I think there's a fair bit of pointless gumph that you could take out - like the 911 bit.

How would you show his arms growing though? Have it as an animated piece?

Agree with that.

I think it should be made live action though. Did you see that Boosh episode with the boxer with the gigantic arms? Something like that.

Good clean fun. Stupid scenario, good punchline. Can be shortened without loss.

I liked it.

Me like. Agree with trimming the excess (911). Maybe work well with some rubbish cardboard hands ?
