Sketch - Squeegee

INT. FRONT ROOM - NIGHT

3.00AM. A Man and a woman are sitting on the settee relaxing watching the early morning repeats of coronation street.The tiny sign language man emerges in the form of a window cleaner. he is carrying a ladder and he's wearing a flat cap,he casually props the ladder up against the screen and climbs up it spraying the whole inside of the screen with soapy bubbles.

The tiny window cleaner cheerfully squeegee's the soapy bubbles off the screen.
he climbs back down the ladder and taps on the TV screen, dink! dink! he then makes a thumb gesture to his left.

The man reluctantly stands up and takes a pound coin out of his pocket and walks over to the TV, he then slips the pound in to the coin box on the back of the TV. the tiny window cleaner catches the over sized pound coin huffs his ladder up onto his shoulder and cheerfully walks away.the man walks back over to the settee and sits down at the side of his wife. The woman has her arms folded looking very judgmental and stone faced. The man and the woman settle back down to watch the rest of the coronation street repeat.

THE END

Good visual gag at the heart of this - but the dialogue is not needed, really.
Keep it as a sight-gag.

yeah that works much better. thank you and thanks for reading :D

Well done Nigel
Good one, especially in this 3D age it could work very well.

Thanks for reading and on a personal note I would like to make this myself for the you tube but I personally wouldn't know where to start. Huh?

Lazzard's hit the nail on the head, this is very good and would be even better as a silent clip.
Could even be extended so that the character has his windscreen done on the way home by a street person much to his passive annoyance/acceptance only to be faced with the same at home.

Very very good though wish I'd thought of it.
