Box clever

Box Clever.
POLICE OFFICER
Right out of that box. You know you can't sleep on the streets of Central London.
TRAMP
Alright officer I'm moving on.
POLICE OFFICER
And stick that cardboard box in the skip over there before I do you for littering.
TRAMP
I can't.
POLICE OFFICER
Don't try my patience. Why can't you shift it?
TRAMP
It isn't mine.
POLICE OFFICER
But you were living it.
TRAMP
Nah mate I'm renting it. I'm an MP this is my London residence. My real home is a mansion in Bristol.
POLICE OFFICER
MPs living in cardboard boxes to fiddle the tax payer what is the world coming to?
TRAMP
And it's a terrible neighbourhood. Jeff Hoon's renting that big pile of newspapers and some Russian oligarchs loaned Mandleson that penthouse skip.
