LAURA (DUTCH GIRL) IS ABOUT TO WALK OFF THE STAGE SHE IS STOPPED BY 2 SOCIAL WORKERS (JAN AND MARIA)
JAN
Are you Laura Dekker? Fearless 13 year old Dutch girl explorer planning to sail the world singlehanded?
LAURA
Yes now get out of my way. I'm going to do more solo than Gordon Brown releasing Libyan terrorists!
MARIA
Stop young woman we can't let you go.
LAURA
Why? I'm a good sailor, I'm fearless. I ignore more danger than a Harringay social worker.
JAN
It is not the danger young Laura. We Dutch are a civilised people and how will you get the essentials of life?
LAURA
I have tins of beans and a calor gas heater. I may produce more hotair than David Cameron discussing tax cuts but I'll be fine.
JAN
No the essentials of life for a Dutch teenager.
MARIA
Porn, sex and marijuana.
LAURA SHOWS THEM A MAP.
LAURA
Look I'll stay with in 2 hours helicopter flight of Jamaica or Ibiza if I need to get stoned or f**ked I'll just let off a flare.
JAN
Thanks goodness now hurry Jan we're helping Belgian social services.
MARIA
Tin Tin and Captain Haddock are getting married.
LAURA
So what they love each other?
JAN
Tin Tin's already married to Captain Bird'seye bigamy is still a crime.
