Sketch: The First Date

I would like to film a sketch called "The First Date".

I thought it would be fun if we all have some input into how the sketch is written.

A man and woman are on a date in a restaurant.

The man looks up at the woman and the woman says:

Your protest against the corporate mistreatment of chair manufacturers is admirable, but I'd really prefer it if you didn't sit on the floor

And then the man says:

MAN: Actually this is an authentic Arabic restaurant; now pull up a cushion, and put on the burkha.

- To be continued? :)

WAITER I am busy at that time I am afraid. I am learning to fly a plane.

WOMAN Oh, how go-getting of you! Is that a common ambition amongst the Italians? (HISSES TO MAN) Will you please get off the floor? This is not an Arabic restaurant and that's a pashmina, not a burkha

Suddenly.....?

The waiter cuts the woman's throat from ear to ear.

MAN
Finally you're smiling darling!

WAITER Would you like to join me in learning to fly a plane. You get many virgins after and I am not talking about the Virgin airways. Well I am as they are always open but you know what I mean.

WOMAN: Does my neck look f**ked in this?
