AUCTIONEER:
Next is lot 24. Seven paintings by Ronnie and Reggie Kray. Painted when they attended art classes in prison. Offered to the market for the first time. Now what am I bid?

SILENCE NERVOUS COUGHING

AUCTIONEER:
Perhaps I'm not making myself clear. I *said* (SHOUTS) What am I bid you Muppets!!?

SILENCE

VOICE:
Ahhh! No! Not the pliers! Ok Ok! For pity's sake! Aahhh! Please no! A pony!

AUCTIONEER:
That's more like it but it ain't enough.

HOWL OF ANGUISH

All right! Make it a monkey! a-a-a(GASPS) m-m-monkey!

AUCTIONEER:

BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM OF PAIN

VOICE:

FX________________GAVEL BANGING

AUCTIONEER:
Sold to the gentleman at the back writhing in pain. Hold your paddle up if you can sir.

END:

Nice. It might stand being a bit longer even?

Good one. Nice and succinct, though there's some room to add lines e.g. extending auctioneer "selling" the paintings' merits whilst the guy gets tortured.

Thanks guys. Did think of putting it on the rack a bit to stretch it out but in the end decided keep it short and not too rambling
