MP in Custody

JUSTIN:
In Westminster this week, some MPs had a bit of a scuffle. Which turned into a little more of a scuffle. Which turned into a full-on assault, before they smashed some cars up, started 'Project Mayhem' and eventually realised everybody involved was the same man.

SERGEANT:
Constable?
CONSTABLE:
Yes, Sarge?
SERGEANT:
Has the guy from the taxpayer-funded bar brawl sobered up yet? It's been nine hours.
CONSTABLE:
Hang on, Sarge.

You know who was a great boss? That Gordon Brown! He was awesome! Hic!
F/XEEP-HOLE SLIDING SHUT
CONSTABLE:
Still off his face, Sarge!

SERGEANT:
Constable? It's been 11 hours. Check him again, will you?
F/XEEP-HOLE INTO CELL SLIDING OPEN
JOYCE:
And I'll tell you something else for free: we, the Labour Party, are going to win the next election!
F/XEEP-HOLE SLIDING SHUT
CONSTABLE:
He's sober now, Sarge!
SERGEANT:
Really? He's sober?
CONSTABLE:
As a judge, ma'am!
SERGEANT:
Haha! Good one, constable! Another couple of hours then.

SERGEANT:
(EXHAUSTED) It's been 13 hours now, Constable. I just want to go home.

JOYCE:
You know what I reckon? We should give coppers more money and bigger pensions!
F/XEEP-HOLE SLIDING SHUT
CONSTABLE:
He's either blotto, Sarge, or just mental.
SERGEANT:
He's an MP. People aren't going to notice the difference. Hold him to that last comment and let him go. Then I won't have to do all this flamin' overtime.
