Caught in the act.

This is one I'm going to film so it's probably not exactly as it will be, but it's the general idea. As ever let me know what you think.

INT HOME OFFICE DAY

JOHN IS SAT BEHIND A DESK LOOKING AT THE COMPUTER MONITOR, HE LOOKS OVER HIS SHOULDER THEN HIS HANDS WANDER DOWN AND HE STARTS MASTURBATING.
JOHNS WIFE SUE ENTERS THE ROOM.

SUE:
What the hell are you doing John.

JOHN FALLS OFF HIS CHAIR AND LAYS PERFECTLY STILL ON THE FLOOR EYES CLOSED.

SUE:
What are you doing ? There's nothing wrong with you.

JOHN JUST LAYS THERE WITH NO REACTION TO SUE.

SUE:
Were you wanking John? You know how I feel about it.

JOHN STILL LAYS STILL

SUE:
John are you joking around...John ? (SHAKES JOHN) Oh dear I'll call an ambulance.

SUE EXITS TO CALL AN AMBULANCE. JOHN OPENS ONE EYE AND SMILES.

END

I like the idea of someone playing dead to avoid punishment...

...but I don't think it's enough just to end it where you have. I would like to have seen a punchline.

Yeah, it's alright. Could be one of those 'what's the worst that could happen sketches' though, where his lying results in all-out nuclear war or a planet burning down or something.

Obviously, the filming of 'all-out nuclear war' may be somewhat restrained by budgetary requirements...

Great idea you could reduce the dialogue further. Funny.

I'd like to see sequels where he uses other animal methods to disapear.
Maybe spray her face with his anal glands like a skunk?

I liked it. But given her husband is lying unconscious on the floor, the wife would probably say something a little more dynamic than "Oh dear". :)

I wonder if what he's watching on the monitor might add to the joke if it were revealed?

I like it. The stuff that goes on at The Home Office eh!? ;)

I'm incredibly reserved as ever. To be honest with you it's just a rough draft to be used to film. I'll try and get a bit more shock in when I make it.

'add to'? It might create a joke because as it is, I don't think it's funny.
