Mrs Piper

INT. DAY. Primary School classroom.

It is Mrs Pipers last day before retirement.

Classroom full of children are waiting for Mrs Piper to arrive for registration. A little mischievous boy, Timmy, scurries to the front of class and puts a 'whoopee cushion' under her seat padding.

The children laugh and snigger.

Mrs Piper enters and plods gingerly to her seat.

MRS PIPER: Good morning class

CLASS: Good morning Mrs Piper, good morning everyone.

Mrs Piper reaches her seat, slowly sits down.

''PAARRRRPPPPP''

The children laugh out loud.

Mrs Piper casually gets up, already knowing which child would have done such a thing.
She makes a beeline for Timmy.

Mrs Piper walks up to Timmy, takes her 'catheter' bag out from under her skirt and explodes it over little Timmy's head.

'I've been waiting to do that for 20 years'

Children begin to scream and cry.

Kinda liked this, I hope this isn't picky but there have to banners/balloons up, proclaiming her last day to make it work. I'd much rather instead of the catheter, she walks up, picks up Timmy, carries him to her chair, sits on him and let's out a massive fart, bows, gives your waiting 20 years line and departs.

Those are only my thoughts though, doesn't necessarily mean they're right!

I'd stick with the catheter bag, for the sketch that is.

It's a good idea and a good punchline but the setting feels a little clunky.

I'd have her use it to defend against a mugger.
