Synonomous Sidekick

A 1970's High rise office block waiting room

A man with blonde curly hair and a thin black mustache looks fidgety in his seat.

He is wearing a gaudy checked jacket, blue jeans and suede boots.

The receptionist is stirring at him with contempt.

The man has clearly had enough and jumps to his feet and starts shouting at her.

MAN
Get on that f**king intercom and tell him I want to see him now!
Who the f**k does he think he is? It should be me in there in his seat but I got looked over again!
All my f**king life for some reason people think they can over look me, well not this time!

The man then pulls a gun

The receptionist is less than impressed

The man points the gun at at her head as he speaks

MAN
Tell him and tell him now!

The receptionist is not alarmed in any way ,in fact she becomes more surly in attitude as she picks up the intercom.

RECEPTIONIST
It's Fredo Garfunkel again and now he's got a toy gun. Shall I tell him to f**k off or what?.

Fredo Garfunkel spins in disgust.

I'm guessing this is something of an esoteric joke about people with the surnname Garfunkel always being seen as second best - and how being saddled with the name Fredo puts them even lower down the list. At least, that's what I've garnered from Google. But I can't say that I get it.

It's an age sensitive one Stonked so it has limited appeal I should imagine but thanks for the feedback and effort involved
