Good morning. This is an old comp entry that I kind of liked but it failed so I'm interested to see what people think. Thanks.
INT. A BANK. DAY.
A MASKED MAN BRANDISHING A SHOTGUN WALKS INTO THE BANK AND APPROACHES A CASHIER.
ROBBER:
This is a stick up. Put all the money in the bag.
CASHIER:
Sorry sir, but we don't have any actual cash at this branch anymore. It's all done by computer now.
ROBBER:
Hmmmmm.
CASHIER:
I can pay it into your account if you like?
ROBBER:
I don't have a bank account, mostly deal with cash in my job.
CASHIER:
Well if you've got five minutes we can set up one today.
ROBBER:
Ok but no funny stuff.
CASHIER:
Don't worry you're too old for our Jolly Junior Savers account. Current or savings?
ROBBER:
Er...current account. Might have to make a sudden withdrawal...holiday or something you know?
CASHIER:
Of course, it's nice to get away isn't it? How about we set up a standing order? Then you won't have to make all these trips.
ROBBER:
That could be helpful actually. This balaclava does itch a bit.
CASHIER:
Ok then, all I need is some ID?
ROBBER:
Haven't got anything on me right now.
CASHIER:
I really need something with an address on.
ROBBER:
Like a letter?
CASHIER NODS AND SMILES. THE ROBBER LOOKS AROUND AND WALKS AWAY.
SFX: SCREAM
ROBBER:
Gimme the gas bill and the Blockbusters' card and no one gets hurt.
THE ROBBER RETURNS TO THE CASHIER WITH SOME I.D.
CASHIER:
Excellent. Right, that's all in order, I'll transfer..how much did you want again?
ROBBER:
All the money. When will it clear?
CASHIER:
Four to five working days.
ROBBER:
Can you do it in two for good behaviour?
END.
