Car Boot Sale

EXT: CAR BOOT SALE

DANNY:How much for the used airbag mate?

MIKEY:Ayrton Senna.

DANNY:This belonged to the real Ayrton Senna?

MIKEY:Have a word mate, you're at a car boot sale in Dagenham. It's a tenner.

DANNY:Right. So how much for this steering wheel?

MIKEY:A pony.

DANNY:But these teeth marks look human...

MIKEY: I'll knock a Lady Godiva off that.

DANNY:'Lady Godiva'... a Fiver! I get it now.

MIKEY:Fantastic! Can I interest you in some broken glass for a Monkey?

DANNY:Monkey, Funky, Drunky...

MIKEY:...500 quid

DANNY:I'm not paying 500 pound for that, It's covered in blood!

DANNY:It's a plasma screen!

:D

I didn't get the money for broken glass line.

I liked this last week in the skit comp, and thought the monkey, funky, dunky...500 quid line was really good.
I wasn't 100% sure if the Plasma screen ending was right for it...but was great up till then.

The set up gives me a chuckle "Have a word mate" but the plasma screen line threw me, I think it went over my head. I'm guessing there's a link between blood and plasma, but, I'm really slow on wordplay and takes me ages to get double meanings as I take it literal, because I'm thick.

off topic; after years and years it occured to me one day; Oh yeah Changing Rooms, as in P.E changing rooms. Same with Bee Movie, as in B-Movie. These things hit me years later. Only yesterday I made the 'show me the funny/money' connection.

on topic; In a few years I'll be doing something and be like, Oh, Plasma Screen, I get it.

Thanks all, I think I'll have another go at this minus the plasma.

I liked the plasma screen, at least use this idea in something else, maybe expand into people using A&E to flog stolen goods linked with injuries? Bootleg, etc
