1. EXT HOUSE. A WOMAN (SANDRA) TURNS HER KEY IN THE LOCK AND TRIES TO PUSH THE DOOR. THE DOOR IS STUCK BUT AFTER A NUMBER OF PUSHES THE DOOR EVENTUALLY OPENS SENDING SANDRA SPRAWLING ON THE CARPET. SHE STRUGGLES INTO THE LOUNGE

SANDRA:
Bob, you lazy bastard, that damn door is still sticking. I thought you'd phoned a carpenter.

BOB IS SITTING ON THE SOFA READING A NEWSPAPER. HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK UP AND POINTS TO THE FAR END OF THE ROOM. THERE IS A MAN WEARING A DRESS SITTING IN FRONT OF SOME DRUMS. HE LOOKS UP AND SMILES AT SANDRA

CARPENTER:
Close to You? Top Of The World?

SANDRA:
I hate you Bob.

SANDRA STORMS OUT CRYING

CARPENTER:
Goodbye to Love?

FADE

Good one this did make me chuckle nice one ishy

Ha! Brill! Would only work for people of a certain age of course...Carpenters...but still brill!

I suppose once she'd left there was a kind of hush...

Very funny Ishy, good stuff. I'd suggest having him in dungarees and a Karen Carpenter wig sitting at a mic, motioning for her to play the drums.

Great line.

I found it a little too forced, and unfortunately way out of date.

Laughing out loud I don't think it was trying to be topical!

Fair enough. I guess a Carpenters reference would be lost on a lot of people.

It worked, I'm quite radical in my views and I think if you don't know who the Carpenters are you shouldn't be in the game!
Herman's Hermits is another story!

I couldn't have any cereal this morning thanks to Hermans hermits.. No milk today.

He probably got in to something good and became distracted probably by Mrs Browns daughter who is a known slut!
