NJ SKETCH: TWO-HEAD ED
F/X: SOBBING.
SPOUSE:Ed! What's wrong?
ED MILIBAND:I scared I'm going to catch the TeeBee-GeeBees.
SPOUSE:There's nothing to be worried about.
ED MILIBAND:That's not what the unfunny comics say.
SPOUSE:Newspapers, Ed, they're called newspapers. Look - here's your friend Ed Balls coming to cheer you up.
ED MILIBAND:What if he has it already? - he'll-he'll-he'll slobber all over me and make me sick too. WAAAAHHHHH!
SPOUSE:Nonsense. See, he's even brought a crack team of medical staff along just to be on the safe side. And I see he has a present for you.
ED MILIBANDh yeah? (RECOVERING) What kind of present?
ED BALLS:It's a lizard.
ED MILIBAND:A lizard! Lizards are tops!! Wait - there's something funny about this lizard - it's got TWO HEADS!!!
ED BALLS:That's right - it's a very rare two-headed lizard.
ED MILIBAND:WHOA! But how does it decide which way to go?
ED BALLS:When two heads share one body it forces them to learn to work in perfect unison, and not descend into a maelstrom of destructive internecine party warfare.
ED MILIBAND:That sounds important, but boring. Want to play hide and seek?
ED BALLS:First I'd like to have this surgical team graft my head onto your neck.
ED MILIBANDnly if you promise we'll play hide and seek after.
ED BALLS:I promise.
F/X: HEART RATE MONITOR, SURGICAL SAW.
SPOUSE:What have you boys been up to that's making such a racquet?
ED MILIBAND:We turned ourselves into a dicephalus!
SPOUSE:Tsk Tsk. What ever will you two think of next?
ED MILIBAND:Can my best-ist friend Ed stay for dinner? PLEASE?
SPOUSE:I don't see that we have much choice now. (LAUGHS)
F/X: ALL LAUGH TOGETHER.
F/X: KNIFE AND FORK BEING LAYED DOWN.
ED BALLS:That was delicious.
ED MILIBAND:Yes, my tummy feels double-full, but I still want dessert. Can we play outside later?
SPOUSEnly if you remember to be careful - you don't want to hurt your friend.
ED MILIBAND:I could never hurt anyone who was my friend.
SPOUSE:Well, Ed is more like your brother now.
ED BALLS:No. Not brother. Not brother.
ED MILIBAND:Brother? I don't share with my brother.
F/X: SCREAMS & ANIMALISTIC DEVOURING.
SPOUSE:Now who's ready for ice-Where'd your friend Ed go?
ED MILIBANDon't know.
F/X: BIG BELCH.
