Bedside

INT. HOTEL BEDROOM – NIGHT

A MAN AND A WOMAN LIE IN BED TOGETHER POST COITUS. THE MAN SIGHS, ROLLS OVER AND POPS A TENNER ON THE NIGHTSTAND.

WOMAN:
Do I look like a hooker to you?!

MAN:
But I thought…

SHE BELTS HIM IN THE MOUTH AND STORMS OFF, LEAVING THE SHOCKED MAN WITH A MISSING TOOTH.

INT. HOTEL BEDROOM – LATER

THE SLEEPING MAN IS WOKEN BY THE SOUND OF MOVEMENT. HE FLICKS ON THE BEDSIDE LAMP AND SEES A TOOTH FAIRY (COMPLETE WITH WINGS AND A WAND) PLACING A TENNER ON THE NIGHTSTAND.

MAN:
Do I look like a child to you?!

TOOTH FAIRY:
But I thought…

THE MAN BELTS HER IN THE MOUTH, LEAVING HER WITH A MISSING TOOTH.

I shouldn't have done. But I did laugh!

Like it. It works. A possible alternative 'ending':

MAN:
Do I look like a child to you?!

THE MAN GOES TO BELT HER IN THE MOUTH, BUT THE FAIRY DUCKS AND COUNTER PUNCHES, KNOCKING ANOTHER OF HIS TEETH OUT.

FAIRY
(MALE GRUFF VOICE) What, do I look like some sort of fairy?

FAIRY SHAKES HEAD, TAKES THE TENNER AND EXITS

END

Very clever that's a hot sketch very quick and all the humour coming from the reader making quick connections.

Enjoyed this one - get in, get out. Nice.
