A bit longer than the last. But hopefully more jokes.
INT. BATHROOM [DAY]
ZINC THE STREET MAGICIAN IS STANDING INFRONT OF THE BATHTUB FACING THE AUDIENCE.
ZINC:
(HESITATING) Ladies and gentlemen, I … Zinc, Street Magician … am about to attempt my greatest stunt yet. (TURNING TO BATHTUB) This bath is filled with three inches (INTERRUPTED BY BANGING ON THE DOOR)
FATHER:
TIM! TIM! Are you in there?
ZINC:
Yes daddy. I’m busy. And don’t call me Tim, my name is Zinc.
FATHER:
Okay Tim. Just hurry up okay? I really need to do my business.
ZINC LOOKS SLIGHTLY DISGUSTED
ZINC:
So … this bath is filled with three inches of water … and I am to stand in it. Ladies and gentlemen, I do this for you amusement; do not try this in your bathroom. Please.
ZINC PROCEEDS TO TAKE OFF HIS SHOES AND SOCKS BEFORE STEPPING IN THE BATHTUB AND STANDS UPRIGHT. ZINC’S FATHER SUDDENLY BURSTS IN AND TAKES A SEAT ON THE TOILET.
FATHER:
(RELIEVED) Oh yes … that’s the ticket. (LOOKING TO ZINC APOLOGETICALLY) Sorry son. I was desperate. (AWEKWARD SILENCE) So what are you doing then?
ZINC:
I am standing in three inches of water, for I am Zinc, Street Magician.
FATHER:
Shouldn’t you be outside?
ZINC:
ITV Weather said it was going to rain. (IMPATIENTLY) I am doing a death defying stunt.
FATHER:
(CURIOUS) Are you dropping something electric in the water?
ZINC:
(SHOCKED) NO! That’d be suicide! I’m just standing here. No food. No water … apart from three inches.
FATHER:
No offence son, but that isn’t magic. Now, this is magic …
ZINC’S FATHER DOES THE OLD “THUMB” TRICK WHERE HE MAKES IT LOOK LIKE HE IS PULLING HIS THUMB OFF HIS HAND.
ZINC:
(DISGUSTED) That is sick! (REALISES HIS FATHER STILL HAS THUMBS ATTACHED) WHAT!? That’s amazing!
FATHER:
(GETTING UP AND FLUSHING) Yes it is son. Yes it is.
FATHER LEAVES THE BATHROOM ZINC ALONE.
ZINC:
Now ladies and gentlemen, watch as I … (PICKS UP SHOWER GEL AND POURS IT ON HIS HEAD) make myself … (PICKS UP SHOWER FIXTURE) foam from the head!
ZINC TURNS SHOWER ON AND MAKES THE SHOWER GEL LATHE UP. ZINC NODS IN APPROVAL. HE SOONS JUMPS OUT THE TUB THOUGH AS IF THE WATER IS COLD. HE STICKS HIS HEAD OUT OF THE DOOR.
ZINC:
(SHOUTING) MAMMY!!!! I SAID DON’T DO THE WASHING UP YET!!!!
ZINC GOES BACK INTO THE BATHROOM. HE ATTEMPTS THE THUMB TRICK.
ZINC:
How did he (DOES IT AND FAINTS).
