MRS JONES
Would you like a cup of tea?

MR METTS
No but I'm a violent schizophrenic so could you turn up the volume on the TV all the way to drown out the voices in my head.

MRS JONES
Righto I'm a bit deaf myself, tee hee. Sure you don't want a cup of tea?

MR METTS
Quite sure.

BUDGIE
Who's a pretty boy?

MR METTS
You are you avian slag.

BUDGIE
He is isn't he. He's a pretty boy.

MR METTS
The volume please. I'm getting one of those special headaches.

MRS JONES TURNS THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP AND WATCHES EASTENDERS.

MR METTS

MRS JONES WATCHES THE TELLY.

MRS JONES

THE TELLY GOES SILENT.
THERE IS A SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING AND LOUD TWEATING.
MRS JONES TURNS TO SEE MR METTS HAS HIS PANTS DOWN AND IS RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO GRAB AT THE BUDGIE.

MRS JONES
What the ruddy hell are you doing?

MR METTS

MR METTS JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW.

MRS JONES
Drat I thought I was going to be taken advantage of.

BUDGIE
Who's a pretty boy then?

MRS JONES
Slut.

This is great fun, and it ends at a tangent. I was expecting a serial killing style end. Very 'Viz' although it doesn't start off as such. Maybe the ending needs a tweak though. It kinda peters out (excuse pun) with the budgie and the woman's reply.

:D

Not sure how you'd film this one though, budgies are notoriously hard to work with.

You're right I'll end with him jumping out of the window.
