Post Office- Sketch
INT. POST OFFICE COUNTER. DAY
A MAN IS AT THE COUNTER AND IS ABOUT TO ASK THE ASSISTANT BEHIND THE OPEN TILL A QUESTION.
Man
I’ve got a package.
Counter Lady
What size is it?
Man
Pardon? About six inches if you must know
Counter Lady
It’s only a small one then?
Man
That’s the size of an average lunchbox.
Counter Lady
Pop it on the scales and let’s have a look.
Man
In front of all these people?
Counter Lady
I have to see it. It might be a funny shape.
Man
Okay but do it quickly. I don’t want people to see.
MAN GETS IT OUT. WE DO NOT SEE WHAT IT IS.
Counter Lady
Oh yes. That’s lovely. It’s a bit heavier than it looks.
The ribbon is a nice touch.
Man
Thanks very much. It’s a present. I want my wife to get it a soon as possible.
Counter Lady
She’ll love that. I’d love to see her face when she gets it. I’d be over the moon if I got one that size. Right. That’ll be £4.40 first class. Should be there in about ten days.
Man
Ten days!
Counter Lady
Sorry I forgot about the strike. About fifteen.
Man
Oh okay. I suppose beggars can’t be choosers.
HE GIVES HER THE MONEY.
Counter Lady
Thank you sir. Right then, let’s have a look at your cock.
