Easyjet Monetisation
======================
JUSTIN:
There was uproar this week, when Easyjet asked a man to pay for an extra-seat, for his dialysis machine. Unfortunately, the only way he could afford to pay for it was by selling a kidney.

F/X:DOOR CLOSING

CEO:
Erm, chaps? What's this about us charging a full-price ticket for a dialysis machine?

KEITH:
Yes, boss! It was in response to your call to think outside the box!

SARAH:
To monetise other elements of the business? We hope you're proud, boss!

CEO:
So now we're charging for vital medical equipment?

KEITH:
Not just that, boss!

SARAH:
Ailments too!

CEO:
Ailments?!

KEITH:
Yes. Coughs, colds, chicken pox!

SARAH:
There's a surcharge on each!

CEO:
We charge a surcharge on chicken pox?

KEITH:
Lots of surcharges, boss!

SARAH:
Yes, it's per pock!

CEO:
Oh. Oh my god.

KEITH:
You okay, boss?

CEO:
Ooooh. (HEAVING) Nausea.

SARAH:
Great idea, boss!

KEITH:
Make 'em sick, then charge 'em more!

SARAH:
Awesome!

F/X:HEAVING AND VOMITING

KEITH:
Oh no! That's a shame.

CEO:
No, no. I'm okay.

KEITH:
No, not that, boss. There's a clean-up fee.

SARAH:
2% surcharge for card payments. Or cash.

END

Nice idea. Wonder if you could have cut to the chase quicker and built the joke by throwing in another specific example before going to the per pock line (which made me laugh): e.g charging double for pregnant women - three if its twins (not that obviously, but something like that).
