Mind your manners

INT: CROWDED TUBE CARRIAGE

TOM: Here, take my seat.

AMY: Oh I get it, you think I'm pregnant, don't you?

TOM: No, I'm being polite.

AMY: I'm sorry, exactly how does offending me make you polite?

TOM: All I did was offer you my seat.

AMY: If you're so hot on etiquette, how come you don't know that the
most embarrassing thing anyone can ever do on the Tube is to offer their seats up for a women whom they thought was pregnant, but is actually just fat?

TOM: I didn't mean to upset you, You looked a little tired, that's all.

AMY: So I'm lazy as well as fat, am I? Next you'll be telling me I'm ugly.

TOM: I wasn't thinking that at all. In fact I was wondering what you're doing for dinner.

AMY: Why? Do you want to come watch me scoffing from a trough?

TOM: No I meant... on a date.

AMY: More like a 'pity shag'?

TOM: Well, I thought we'd could start with a meal...but I've changed my mind. You've got massive chip on your shoulder.

AMY: I'm not falling for that one again.

TOM: I'm getting off, this is my stop.

AMY: Typical bloke, as soon as they get to know the real me, they run away.

AMY SITS ON TOM'S VACATED SEAT.

A PREGNANT WOMAN GETS ON THE CARRIAGE AND WALKS TOWARDS AMY.

AMY <GROWLING>: Keep moving sister!

:D Bastard.

:D Enjoyed the build but think the ending was a wee bit of a let down

I thought it was very funny. :)

Laughing out loud

Good one Angie.

nice one Angie Laughing out loud

Yep, really liked that one!

Cheers for the feedback all.

This is excellent Angie, a neat idea and well sustained. I can see a couple of points where you could have lost the momentum and you didn't. With good actors this could be amazing.

I think you should end the sketch on Amy's last line. It's a strong place to leave it. Maybe write some more with her?

Cheers Godot. Thanks for the feedback, I've had a couple of ideas for other scenarios for Amy, will see what happens.

Thumbs up! :D

I can only agree with all the positive comments, and I quite like the last line for what it's worth. Good work Angie, a real gem.

Bugger, I was expecting it to be a real chip.

Liked it.
