Howdi all,
Thought I'd post my reject, to see where it all went wrong for me
Two old ladies at a bus stop.
SHEILA
Hello, Ethel. Alright?
ETHEL
Not so bad, Sheila. I can't complain too much.
SHEILA
No, we don't complain.
ETHEL
Well I could, but it never does me much good, does it?
SHEILA
No. No.
ETHEL
No.
SHEILA
This weather we've been having is terrible, isn't it?
ETHEL
Horrible stuff. What happened to English summer time, eh Sheila?
SHEILA
I know. I had another cow crash through my window last night.
ETHEL
Oh, you've had spate of them recently, haven't you?
SHEILA
Well, you know me Ethel, I don't like to complain.
ETHEL
No.
SHEILA
No. But that's three cows now in four days. I suppose mine is the only house in the street left standing, though, so I haven't got it all bad. And Billy was whisked off to goodness knows where last night, so at least that's something too.
ETHEL
Everyone on my street was wiped out in a big wave, like that buddhist on the mountain on the telly.
SHEILA
It never rains but it pours, eh?
ETHEL
Well, I could've done without that Earthquake last week. Bits of me moved that I didn't know I had, Sheila.
SHEILA
Do you know, I think we might be the only people left.
ETHEL
It does look that way, doesn't it?
SHEILA
I might pop into Tesco then, get some bread, just in case.
ETHEL
Oh, it's a shame. I liked that Jeremy Kyle.
SHEILA
Hang on, Ethel. Who's this?
ETHEL
He's running.
A man runs up to them - he's completely battered by the elements. He walks past the two ladies and leans, out of breath, against the bus stop.
(BEAT)
SHEILA
There is a queue, you know.
He looks at them incredulously and walks to the back of the queue. Ethel and Sheila nod, satisfied.
