Psychiatrist

INT. DAY. ROOM.

A PSYCHIATRIST IS AT HIS DESK. CERTIFICATES ARE PLACED ON THE WALL AROUND HIM.

SCENE 1:

FX BUZZER

VOICE:
It's a Mr Malone to see you. He's been referred from his employers for long term stress related sick absence.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Thanks Miss Jones, send him in.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Mr Malone, please sit down.

MAN:
Mr Malone, please sit down.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Here we go again.

MAN:
Here we go again.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Look, if you think by repeating everything I say..

MAN:
Look, if you think by repeating everything I say..

PSYCHIATRIST:
..you'll fool me as regards your mental state.

MAN:
..you'll fool me as regards your mental state.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Ok, enough. Suck my willy.

MAN:
Ok, enough. Suck my willy.

PSYCHIATRIST LEANS OVER HIS DESK WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN.

MAN:
Geddoutofit, you dirty pervert.

MAN RUNS OUT.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Ha, works every time. Perfectly fit for work.

PSYCHIATRIST TICKS FORM.

SCENE 2:

FX BUZZER

VOICE: A Mr Lamont to see you, another work referral.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Ok, send him in.

PSYCHIATRIST:
Please take a seat Mr Lamont.

MAN: (extremely camp voice)
Please take a seat Mr Lamont.

CUT TO PAINFUL EXPRESSION ON PSYCHIATRIST'S FACE.

That is very funny economical and ace.

Now if you made the pyschiatrist a school bully working as a pyschiatrist.....

Clever and funny! As normal

Extremely camp voice - haha, how PC of you Nigel. Didn't you write the racists wake? Laughing out loud

This was great. Funny stuff.

I thought that was really great. If I was being really picky I might have the Phychiatrist saying:

"Ok, enough. If you'd just like to suck my penis please" instead of Ok, enough. Suck my willy. as it just sounds a little posher and more ...professional (I know, I know!)

Either way, good stuff for me.

Nice one.

I'm not sure about this. Is repeating things people say a common sign of mental illness? And from the doctor's comment about it working every time, and the second patient you seem to be saying that people pretend to be mentally ill by repeating the pyschiatrist.

I sort of agree with Dolly on this one. Do you know a lot of people who fake mental illness to get out of work then, eh Nigel?
