Estate Agent

INT. DAY.HOME.

AN ESTATE AGENT IS ENTERING THE BEDROOM OF A HOME FOLLOWED BY A COUPLE.

AGENT:
This is the master bedroom, en suite of course with an additional built-in toilet disguised as a wardrobe.

MAN:
Two toilets in one room, that's handy.

AGENT:
The hall, as you can see, is very spacious and has an ornate bespoke urinal.

WOMAN:
One for the lads, nice use of space though.

AGENT:
Now, feast your eyes on this exquisite living room which comes complete with two large prefab portaloos.

MAN:
Beer, flatscreen telly, portaloos... I've got a good feeling about this love.

AGENT:
Next, we have the farmhouse style kitchen.

WOMAN:
Toilet free?

AGENT:
Not so madam, that chair you're beside doubles up as a commode.

WOMAN:
Oooh! That's clever. Do you mind?

AGENT:
Be my guest madam.

FX PEEING SOUND.

MAN:
This property has how many toilets?

AGENT:
Eighteen in total.

WOMAN:
That last place had twenty four. Pass me some toilet roll dear.

MAN:
Erm, here, use this kitchen roll. Yeah, but it didn't have the portaloos.

AGENT:
When you start hitting mid twenties for toilets then you're really at the high end of the market.

WOMAN:
Hmmm, it would have been very tight. Has there been much interest in this place?

AGENT:
Considerable interest, I'm going to be busy all day.

CUT TO OUTSIDE OF HOUSE. A LARGE NUMBER OF COUPLES ARE QUEUEING TO GET IN. THEY ARE GRIMACING AND BENDING THEIR KNEES, DESPERATE TO USE THE TOILET.

EDITED FOR NEW ENDING.

A good build-up - :D - but I was disappointed with the punchline (if you could call it that). It's a shame 'cos I know there's one there somewhere. Maybe someone else could come up with one!

Like Joseff said, great, ridiculous setup. The punch wasn't on par though. It might work if reworded somehow?

As the others have said - it's a pretty darn great sketch idea, well realised until the end. I think you should scrub everything after the pissing-in-commode scene and either stop there or come up with a different and better resolution. The latter would be better but I can't think of one.

Agree with others. Great notion. Needs a worthy ending.

Is this a better ending?

I like the second one the toilet thing is an ace intro.

Thanks for feedback.

The garden has an outside loo.
POTENTIAL BUYES: If the loo had a door lock we'd have snapped up this property.
OWNER/VENDOR: I can assure you, sir, that a lock is not necessay. We've never had a bucket stolen.
