KI: Tax Evasion

NEIL:
Here's to boycotting tax evaders!

FX: CLINK OF COFFEE MUGS

BEN/NEIL/SOPHIE:
Cheers!

SOPHIE:
Mm - you know, this tastes just like a Starbucks latte.

BEN:
It should do! I made it with one of their coffee machines!

NEIL:
Oh, you scabby little scab!

SOPHIE:
Neil!

NEIL:
Not only has he broken the boycott - he's made US break it too!

SOPHIE:
Look, he probably bought it ages ago!

BEN:
Actually, it only arrived this morning.

NEIL:
Oh, well then that settles it! Scab! Scab! Scab! Sc...

SOPHIE:
Look - we're talking about a ONE-OFF payment, of what - a hundred pounds?

BEN:
Fifty! Amazon have got it half price!

NEIL:
You bought it from AMAZON!? Now, THAT'S just... wait - are they seriously going for fifty quid?

BEN:
Yeah - in their Christmas sale.

FX: NEIL HURRIEDLY EXITS

SOPHIE:
Hey - where you are you going?

NEIL: (IN DISTANCE)
To get my credit card and laptop!

I don't think this has quite enough substance. Needs a much stronger, surprise ending to work better.

Also be careful on your 'avoiders/evaders' accusations as one is quite, quite libellous.

There's a nice idea there, something about either the hypocrisy of people avoiding tax avoiders or how difficult it is.

Perhaps someone who tries to avoid using Google, Amazon, Starbucks, Jimmy Carr and has great difficulty doing so? Or ends up investing in people who who are much worse but do pay their tax Nestle, BAE and Frankie Boyle?
