Babysitter.

A WOMAN IS INTERVIEWING A BABYSITTER WHO IS OUT OF SIGHT

WOMAN
Ok this is my mobile Josh is in bed already and...look I'm not comfortable about this. I'll call my mum she can usually do this at short notice. I'll pay you...

BABYSITTER(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Is it because I is black?

WOMAN
No not at all... but it's you know...

BABYSITTER
Is it because of the breathing? It's a medical complaint.

WOMAN
No not at all... look I'm no bigot I'll pay your cab fare.

BABYSITTER
It's because of those f**king films isn't it?

WOMAN
Now there's no need for that sort of language!

PULL BACK TO REVEAL THE BABYSITTER IS DARTH VADER

BABYSITTER
I'm sorry but they've ruined my life. Oh God it's terrible I love kids. But those f**king films, no one will trust me.

WOMAN
You cut your son's hand off, tortured his sister and murdered their mum.

BABYSITTER
The little sod had just destroyed my Death Star.

WOMAN
Which you were using to destroy planets. Besides there's never an excuse for child abuse.

BABYSITTER
Fine I'm going. Judging some one because of a film. You'd better hope no one makes a film about you!

BABYSITTER STORMS OUT.

WOMAN DIALS HER PHONE
Hi Mandy recommended you...are you free at short notice?...excellent...no I don't think Josh likes Turkish delight, but the sleigh ride sounds delightful.

1. Should it end after the reveal?
2. How will you disgise Darth's voice - could be a bit of a give away.

Love 'is it because I is black' over Darth Vader - that's your key joke IMHO

Hmm good points and probably right, I'd probably make him weazier and a bit sad due to drinking or something.

After 14,625 posts I guess you're well qualified to comment. Is spelling
and punctuation a critical element of writing? OR does style/content
override the need? This is neither a facetious nor a fatuous enquiry.
Your advice will be well received. Thanks.

It's important some of us find it harder than others.

That said being funny is still kinda important.

So, reading between the lines, I take it that to write right is all right but to write wrongs that're funny is OK. That's write, isn't it?
THANKS

Nothing so complex I just banged this one out before going to bed and wasn't concentrating. I'll edit it, I'd suggest focussing on one's faults. In my case lousy grammar, spelling and over complex jokes.

In the case of others a preference for rather old, poor taste material.

I like the idea, but the voice would be difficult to not give away.

The voice you can possibly get away with if he has a cold or something, blowing his nose into a hanky for a bit of misdirection.

It might be better doing the sketch 'the other way around'. So we know it's Darth Vadar straight away, but we don't know he's gone for a babysitter job till the 'reveal'.

The 'f**king films' thing suggests he's Darth Vadar in real-life, whereas it might be better if the 'real-life' is the Star Wars universe and the normal woman is the universe gatecrasher rather than vice-versa.

I'd get rid of the 'f**king films' references and use 'Is it because I'm the most evil man in the universe?' as your third line instead.

Got it. I'll focus on new, gooder tasting stuff. Things like digestive biscuits with indegestion.
