Tell Me Lies

A recent entry in the Skit Comp, any suggestions for improvement?

AN OLD MAN AND A POLICEMAN ARE SITTING OPPOSITE EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF AN OPEN LOG FIRE.

POLICEMAN
The good news is we've ruled you out as a suspect in the murder case.

GEPPETTO
Thank Jiminy Cricket for that. How could you think a father could kill their own child?

POLICEMAN
The bad news is, with no evidence we've had to release the Blue Fairy.

GEPPETTO
So the case is closed?

POLICEMAN
Yes. If I can be of any further assistance...?

GEPPETTO
You could put another leg on the fire.

I'd prefer.

POLICEMAN
You'll be relieved to hear we've ruled you out as a suspect in your son's murder case, Geppetto.

GEPPETTO
Thank Jiminy for that.

POLICEMAN (GETTING UP)
Well, unless I can be of any further assistance...?

GEPPETTO
You could put another leg on the fire.

Nice edit, that's much better. Cheers Nil.

Yup - much better. I think it was the Blue Fairy reference that threw me. Probably showing my ignorance.
