INT. FUTURISTIC LOOKING HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

A FRAIL OLD WOMAN IS CLEARLY ON HER LAST LEGS; HER FAMILY ARE SURROUNDING HER BED

YOUNG GIRL:
Have you any regrets Grandma?

GRANDMA:
I have. I was once a prostitute and I had sex with Wayne Rooney while his wife was pregnant.

GRANDAD:
My God. When was this?

GRANDMA:
Last Thursday.

ANNOUNCER: I thought to save time during this Countdown ad break to ask you if you want a walk in bath, life insurance, incontinence pads, stairlift, a coffin, or to sell off your house to loan sharks. If so put tons of money in an envelope and send to Con Granny Enterprises, PO Box 1212, Holmfirth, Yorkshire. Thank you. I will now return to you to the bilge or crap you were watching.

Smells like a Woman

Scene: Grandma and Grandpa sat around a coal fire. Grandpa is sucking on an empty pipe and reading the paper.

Grandma(sniffing the air): Derek! You've pissed in your pants haven't you.

Grandpa(rolling eyes and lowering paper): No dear, I haven't wet myself. It's not something I do.

Grandma: You're lying. I can smell it.

Grandpa: Look dear I'm telling you once and for all I haven't pee'd in my pants ok? Why must you get like this? (ruffles paper and puts it back up in front of his face)

Grandma: Liar! You're always pissing yourself. That's why in school they called you Pissy Pants Parfitt!

Grandpa(from behind paper): You know as well as I do that's not true.

Grandma(sniffing air again): How do you know you haven't eh? Eh? You're too used to it that's your problem.

Grandpa: For Christs sake Jean.

Grandma: I was a nurse for twenty years and believe me I know what piss smells like.

Grandpa: Well apparently you don't!

Grandma: How do you know?

Grandpa:Because I've just shit myself.

TASTY, TASTY, VERY VERY TASTY

Grandma and Grand-dad in bed.

GRAND-DAD Now as our sex-life has been a tad lame of late I have devised a little game. I place a flavoured condom on my tackle, you go down on me and guess the flavour thereof. Ready?

GRANDMA Great!

She goes down. Pause...

GRANDMA (re-emerges) Gorgonzola cheese.

GRAND-DAD I ain't bloody put it on yet.

It is ok though I am ignoring him.

GOD & JESUS ARE SITTING ON A SOFA ON A CLOUD. JESUS TURNS AROUND TO SEE AN ELDERLY COUPLE SHUFFLE INTO VIEW.

JESUS:
Dad! It's Nan & Granddad.

GODFATHER:
Alright Jesus, Hello Son.

GODMOTHER
How are my boys?

GOD:
Mum! Dad! We said half eight!

GODMOTHER:
Well if we're not welcome.

GOD:
No No I didn't mean... Jesus! Miracle your Nan & Granddad a couple of comfy chairs there's a good lad.

GODMOTHER:
Jesus, you couldn't get me a nice glass of water while you're there could you?

JESUS:
Of course Nan, Red or White?

GODMOTHER:
You choose Jeezey, You know me I'll drink anything.

SHE LAUGHS AS THEY SIT DOWN ON THE NEWLY APPEARED CHAIRS.

GODFATHER:
Right son, I want to have a chat about the family business. I was wondering if you might be feeling a bit vengeful.

GOD:
I have been feeling a little bit vengie since they killed my boy if I'm honest.

JESUS:
I am here you know

GODFATHER:
No that was a good thing, it'll toughen him up a bit.

GODMOTHER:
He doesn't need toughening up he's lovely

JESUS:
Hello! I'm still here!

GOD:
Don't start getting all omnipresent with your Grandparents boy!

GODFATHER
Send him back, let the boy crack a few heads together, really show em what he can do. It'll be a laugh.

GOD:
It's not meant to be a laugh it's meant to save mankind or something like that.

GODFATHER:
You never complained when I sent you down there.

GOD:
Yes I did, you made me try to save the Dinosaurs for crying out loud., I was always complaining or if I wasn't complaining I tended to be running & screaming..

GODFATHER:
Didn't do you any harm did it?

GOD:
At least it was always quick & painful, but I wish you hadn't given me quite as many comings.

GODFATHER:
Yeah but look at you now, Mr Lord of everything.

GODMOTHER:
You get all that Divinity from your fathers side.

GODFATHER:
My advice is to send the lad down as quick as you can, while people still remember him. And give him some decent tricks and let him have a bit of fun this time for crying out loud.

GOD:
Look I'm in charge now Dad..I thought we'd just play it cool, y'know keep a hands off approach. For a few thousand years.

GODFATHER:
I Getcha! And then suddenly when their guard is down then Blam ...Nice one!

JESUS:
Blam?

GODFATHER:
Yeah we send you back on a Horse of Fire, riding a rainbow, at which point you punish all the sinners. & rescue the good uns.

GOD:
To be honest we've decided to change direction, we're working on a book instead.

GODFATHER:
A Book? A bleeding Book?

GODMOTHER:
Your Granddad doesn't like reading. Doesn't like anything that I like If I'm honest.

JESUS:
We just want all the humans to live a nice happy life Gramps, so we thought a nice book could really frighten them into doing just that.

GOD:
It's got an Old Testament which is about me & a New Testament which is about the boy.

GODFATHER:
And what about an Very old Testament then, telling about all my adventures.
Y'know how I built the earth up from a ball of rock, repelled the aliens & all that.

GOD:
Well It doesn't really fit in with what we're..

GODFATHER:
What about when I rearranged the stars into pretty shapes that don't quite look like what they're supposed to but can control your life..

GOD:
To be honest Dad they'll have enough trouble believing the book as it is.
