You'll have to use your imaginations for this one!
....
[Scene is a high-tech forensic lab. DR MACKIE is talking to the camera, which weaves about between microscopes and so on, in the style of CSI: Such-And-Such]
MACKIE: We got the fibres checked out, and yes, they do come from the seat cover of a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda, but - get this - they also contain deep traces of animal hairs. It looks as though these seats have evidence of systematic contact with canines over many years, and yet, our man Doberwitz is allergic to dogs. Conclusion: this isn't his car; secondary conclusion: someone wants Dobie out of the picture. Now, if you want to take a look at this [Camera zooms right into the slide that MACKIE holds up; he is momentarily shaken] - err, yes, you see, we noticed that blood on the tent peg didn't belong to [Camera goes right behind MACKEY's head, he turns to follow it]. Look, would you mind not doing that?
JENKINS: [Off] What?
MACKIE: Just...would you mind keeping still.
JENKINS: Oh, come on, Mackie, you know I can't help it.
MACKIE: Yeah, well you're putting me off, flitting around the place, I've forgotten whose blood it is now and everything. Can't you just land?
JENKINS: Yeah, alright.
[Camera lowers down to bench height]
MACKIE: Ah, Jesus f**k, not there.
JENKINS: What?
MACKIE: That's my lunch, dude!
JENKINS: Oh. Sorry. Didn't notice.
MACKIE: The hell you didn't. It's a bloody sandwich, how can you miss it? You got enough eye facets, don't you?
JENKINS: I was thinking about the case!
MACKIE: Oh, yes, the case, sure. You're always trying to get my back up you bloody...creepy crawly!!
[Enter BOSS, brusquely]
BOSS: Hey! What's all the commotion here? I got Salinas next door trying to titrate an embezzler's semen and she can't hear herself think.
MACKIE: Sorry, boss.
JENKINS: He started it, sir. Insulted me. Racist abuse, it was. [The camera goes crazy as he gets angry]
BOSS: Is this true, Mackie?
MACKIE: Hell, I didn't mean any harm, sir. It's just typical, of his sort, flying round the place whilst I'm trying to do my job, and before I know it, boof! He's all over my pastrami like there's no tomorrow.
JENKINS: It was an accident!
BOSS: Steady on, Jenkins. Now, Mackie, we've been through this before. Just because one of your colleagues has a different background to you, that's no reason to -
MACKIE: Different background! He's got six legs!
JENKINS: You see, that, sir? That's just prejudice, offensive prejudice.
MACKIE: I'll go one further: I think it was a dumb idea to employ any flies in the squad, Sir, they're not trustworthy.
JENKINS: Invertibrist!
BOSS: Mackie! Any more talk like that and I'll have your badge. Now, let's get this resolved in a calm, adult manner.
MACKIE: They're dirty. Flies are dirty. There, I said it.
JENKINS: Oh, just charming.
MACKIE: You eat poo! Don't try to deny it, Jenkins! Your sort eat poo all day.
JENKINS: Not this again!
MACKIE: "Yummy yum yum, poo poo for me."
JENKINS: Right, that's just about the last straw.
BOSS: This is a very serious issue. Jenkins, ah, would you do me a favour and wait outside?
JENKINS: Of course. [Camera changes viewpoint. We see a fly buzzing towards the door]
MACKIE: [Shouting after him] And the paternity leave! 500 babies in a week, that ain't fair on us working Joes. [Door slams shut]
BOSS: Now, Mackie. This isn't the first time you've been accused of fomenting angst amongst our colleagues of the dipteral persuasion.
MACKIE: Yeah, but -
BOSS: [Changing tone conciliatory] I mean, why bother? They'll all be dead by the end of the month!
[Both laugh uproariously]
BOSS: Still, I'd best give you a light caution, keep the unions happy. I'll draft a letter: now, where's that secretary of mine?
[Rummages in his inside breast pocket, pulls out a small white mouse]
