SCENE 4 INT  FLAE BUILDING  OUTSIDE FLAE OFFICE SAME DAY
MORNING (11.00)
 
Dave Jamieson has eventually arrived at the FLAE office. He is hot and flustered . He composes himself before going in. Opens the office door and walks in . Angela the second in command of admin is about 30 . Trish the manager is in her late 40s . They are sitting at desks with PCs on them .
 
DAVE JAMIESON
 
Morning campers. Bing Bang Bong ...
 
ANGELA
 
Yes?
 
DAVE JAMIESON
 
Oooh! I knew you Scotch girls were easy but wait till you're asked , love!
 
ANGELA
 
Whit?
 
DAVE JAMIESON
 
To Trish.
 
Whit, she says. Love it ! Oooh !  I bet you've  flattened a lot of grass in your time. Eh?
 
TRISH
 
Did you want something, dear?
We are  rather busy.
 
DAVE JAMIESON
 
Have the Beeb people arrived yet?
 
TRISH
 
Oh sorry dear. Your pals are upstairs already. I don't think that crap comedian's arrived yet. You can get the lift  just outside there. Or you'd be as well using the stairs. Bit of exercise. Do you good . It'll help you get rid of that spare tyre. Second floor. Can't miss it.
 
Dave leaves. Trish picks up the phone and dials.
 
TRISH
 
Hi Liam .That arsehole , wanker , pillock , knobhead , bastard Dave Jamieson is on his way up.
 
FADES

I'm warming to this stuff, it has a nice rhythm to it. :)

For me, I'd prefer it if she honestly didn't know who he was, because, "your lot is upstairs, but the crap comedian isn't here yet" is quite funny, but not so good as a deliberate put-down.
