INT. KITCHEN - DAY
A STUCK-UP BONE CHINA MUG AND A CHEERFUL SHEEP MUG WAIT TO BE WASHED UP.
THE WASHING BOWL IS FULL OF BUBBLES. THE SHEEP MUG PEERS IN.
BONE CHINA MUG
(plummy)
Tempting?
SHEEP MUG
(sadly)
I`d love to go in there.
BONE CHINA MUG
It`s reserved for the privileged few I`m afraid.
SHEEP MUG
(sighs)
I know.
BONE CHINA MUG
I`m an exclusive and yourself?
SHEEP MUG
Buy one get one free.
THE BONE CHINA MUG EDGES ITSELF SLIGHTLY OUT OF THE WAY.
BONE CHINA MUG
What happened to your friend?
SHEEP MUG
(sadly)
She was dropped.
BONE CHINA MUG
Did she?
SHEEP MUG
Break? Yes, into hundreds of pieces.
BONE CHINA MUG
How traumatic!
SHEEP MUG`S LARGE EYES FILL WITH TEARS.
BONE CHINA MUG
And her disposal?
SHEEP MUG
Newspaper and the rest sucked up by the hoover.
BONE CHINA MUG
Very traditional.
SHEEP MUG
Oh well, I`ll be in the dishwasher soon.
BONE CHINA MUG
(smugly)
I`m handwash only.
SHEEP MUG
You`re lucky, the dishwasher`s like a giant rugby scrum!
THE BONE CHINA MUG SHUDDERS.
A WELL-DRESSED WOMAN WALKS INTO THE KITCHEN.
THE WOMAN ABSENTMINDEDLY PICKS UP THE SHEEP MUG, WASHES IT AND WIPES IT DRY.
BONE CHINA MUG
(under her breath)
Well, I`m certainly not getting in his dirty water!
THE BONE CHINA MUG WORKS ITS WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE WORKSURFACE.
AS THE WOMAN REACHES UP TO PUT THE SHEEP MUG ONTO A SHELF, HER ARM CATCHES THE BONE CHINA MUG AND IT CRASHES TO THE FLOOR.
THE WOMAN TUTS, PULLS A DUSTPAN AND BRUSH OUT OF A CUPBOARD, SWEEPS UP THE PIECES AND DEPOSITS THEM IN THE BIN.
THE SHEEP MUG SMILES HAPPILY ON THE SHELF.
WOMAN
I never did like that stupid pretentious mug!
project.
