Conclusion of my Sitcom Trials entry. Please read.

I have just written a three minute concluding scene fo my eight minute sitcom. I would love if someone would read it and give me some feedback.

I posted the first scene on here a little while ago. If you need to read it - this is the link: https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/23618#P844211

Please let me know what you think. :)

Scene Two

(The same apartment - in the early hours of the following morning. Xander enters with Lucy in tow.)

Xander: Shh... Shh... Come in quickly.

Lucy: What's going on?

Xander: Shh.

Lucy: I got a text from Lily - she said that you'd overdosed!

Xander: I can explain everything.

Lucy: Why call me at this hour of the morning - why not an ambulance? What have you taken?

Xander: I am not under the influence of drugs.

Lucy: That remains to be seen.

Xander: I sent the text, not Lily. I needed to get you here urgently.

Lucy: You're insane.

Xander: Oh, why does everyone have to jump to the 'I' word with me? Why not, "Xander, what
a great idea", or "Xander, you always think outside the square."? Why the 'I' word?

Lucy: I guess people just go for the most logical conclusion.

Xander: Look, I'll make you a drink, I think you're going to need a drink...

Lucy: Xander, I don't want a drink! It's one-thirty in the morning - what am I doing here?

Xander: Lily's brought someone home.

Lucy: Well as surprising as that is for someone with the charm and charisma of sociapathic turnip -
I don't see why you'd be calling me.

Xander: It's who she brought home, Lucy, who! You had to see it with your own eyes.

Lucy: Who?

Xander: You won't believe me, come look

(Xander goes to the entrance to Lily's room.)

Lucy: I'm not walking in on that, no one ever needs to see that!

(Xander goes to Lucy and grabs her by the arm. He drags her after him.)
Xander: You need to see it!

Lucy: Xander...

(He pushes her in to Lily's room. Lucy screams and Xander takes a sip from his glass. Lucy staggers backwards out of the room. She is crying.)

Lucy: Bastard, you're a lieing bastard!

Xander: I'm very sorry sweetheart?

Lucy: How could you do that?

Xander: What, I haven't done anything. I havn't cheated on anyone... you know... tonight...

Lucy: That was humiating.

Xander: Well you wouldn't have believed me, you would have thought I was manipulating you.

(Lily enters. She is wearing a black nightgown with a kimono draped off her shoulders.)

Lily: I knew it - didn't I say that he'd be cheating.

Xander: Shut up, Lily! Go and... untie him.

Lily: Fine, fine... don't get hysterical.

(Lily goes back into her room.)

Xander: Actually, wait a moment, Lily...

(Xander follows Lily off.)

Xander: (From off stage.) You little prick!

(The sound of a punch.)

Other Male Voice: (From off.) Ow, shit!

Xander: (Off.) You'd cheat on my niece with that?

Lily: (Off.) You married me!

(Xander walks back in, nursing his sore fist in with the other hand. He is calling back into the room.)

Xander: Don't remind me! I hit him for you, Lucy... that's my good uncle instinct.

(Lucy does not look at him. She is still crying.)

Xander: I was trying to do you a favour, you know...

(Lily enters.)

Lily: You with the waterworks. This idiot in here wants to talk to you.

Lucy: I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to see him.

Xander: Get him out of here - and not this way.

Lily: The only other way is the window.

Xander: then throw the little shit out of it.

Lily: You know, Lucy, I tried to tell you about him...

Xander: Piss off, Lily!

Lucy: And tell him I quit.

(Lily shoots Xander a look, and goes back into her room.)

Xander: That's wise, Lucy darling... and I feel awful about saying it... but you know you have a
job to come to.

Lucy: I don't know about that, Xander.

Xander: Come on, dear, you've seen the budget I've got. I always thought you liked me.

Lucy: I do, Xander.

Xander: Remember those boring family things, when you were little? You thought I was the fun
uncle. Lucy, dear, I was the 'funcle'.

Lucy: (laughs slightly) You're very immature.

Xander: Yes.

Lucy: I don't want to fight with you and Lily all of the time.

Xander: We'll be good - I promise. I'll keep her under control and... feed her and everything.

(Lily wanders in behind them with an empty glass.)

Lucy: Well... when do you want me to start?

Xander: Straight away, dear.

Lily: Oh good.... (holding her glass out to Lucy). Do you know how to make a Gin and Tonic?

(Fade.)

:)

Spotted a typo.

"Xander: Lily's bought someone home."

Thanks. :) :D
