Reporter Ken Rogers
-Excuse me. Can I ask you some questions about your sentencing?

Mike
-Which one of us do you mean?

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Ehh, you.

Mike
-You can talk to Adolf Hitler, Sauron, Ayatollah Khomeni, Idi Amin, Satan, Sir Lancelot, Hannibal Lector, Darth Vader or Mike.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Thats a lot of interesting personalities, but I would like to talk to Mike.

Mike
-Well then you were allready talking to the right one.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-You have just received a lifesentece for at series of murders, do you have any comments?

Mike
-Will this be in the newspaper?

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Yes this interview is for a newspaper.

Mike
-Me mother would been proud.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Your mother whom you killed?

Mike
-She was getting old and it was good for the national economics. She said her rheumatics was getting to bad for her to wash my clothes anymore and didn't have the money to feed a unproductive woman. So I put her in the washing machine and gave her a ride with prewash, main wash and extra centrifugation.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-You had a tough childhood?

Mike
-Basically it was pretty boring. My stepfather had me locked up in the chest of drawers in the living room most of the time.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-That sounds awful!

Mike
-Maybe we wasn't the stereotype family but we always liked a good laugh. My stepfather used to blow smoke into the chest of drawers where I was locked up and scream; The house is on fire. Then I went into a complete panic and made the chest of drawers jump up and down. Always made the family come together in a good laugh.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Your stepfather whom you also killed?

Mike
-Thats right. I empty his six pack of beer and filled it up with sulpheric acid. His finshed all six beers before the acid got to him. Think he was used to drink some bad shit liquor.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-How about love?

Mike
-I'm not the type to brag but always been some of a ladies man. But I'm not really a longterm relationship kinda guy. It always starts out perfect and beautyfull. Then the vicious circle starts... as I call it. Then I'm not allowed to pee in the bath, then the toothpaste allways have to be placed upside down, then she makes me do a lot work in the house and puts up all kinds of cuttish things all over.... THEN ONE DAY YOU HAD IT...then I tie them up and bury them in the garden. A good tip for the garden owners. It's very good for the roses.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-You robbed all your victims bankaccounts?

Mike
-It's a Capitalistic world. What can I say?

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Do you have any regrets?

Mike
-There's always someone you like to kill but didn't get around to it. A couple of wardens escaped me. Would liked to bury Katie Price or give Ropert Pattison a ride in the washing machine.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Now it's isolation in a maximum secured prison the next 40 years.

Mike
-Yeah it's a long time. But I'm working om my biography book and then there have been talk about a possible filmatizing of my book. Interviews to the medias. Letters from ladies. Find me a bitch in prison. Dopesale. Lot of projects going on really.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Thank you for the interview.

Mike
Sure eh, can you send the article to me? It's for my scrapbook.

Reporter Ken Rogers
-Will do.

Far too much waffle, not enough funny old chap. Also the premise that a convicted killer would be led out to be interviewed by a reporter is unbelievable. It still doesn't make it funny but you could trim it down to this and not lose anything:

Thanks for your comment.

In the premise I thought of the typical american movies where convicted persons are taken out to meet the press. But your right the premise need to be improved.

I can see the dialogue became stronger with your ajustments.

Your right about the idea is to make a brutal killer into a funny old chap. Combine it with some critisism on media making serial killers to celebs. And in a crude way some of the ideas from Charlie Chaplins movie mr verdoux.
