A Night On The Tiles

A CLUB FOYER
A bouncer has a man up against the wall by his lapels.
A man wearing a badge saying 'Manager' comes over quickly.

MANAGER
What's going on?

BOUNCER
This bastard had a pocketful of E's.

MANAGER
We're f**ked if this gets out, just launch him and them out of here arse first!

The bouncer drags the man out of the building and throws him down some steps and then throws something after him and the man immediately starts picking them up. As he does so Richard Ayoade walks past him and looks down at the letter E's on the floor and shakes his head . As the man looks up shame faced and we see a banner over Ayoades had that reads 'World Scrabble Championships'

Nice.
Manager's 2nd line is a bit of a mouthful.( Bouncer's first could be a little sharper TBH)
No sure" take your crap with you" works as I'm not sure he'd say that about scrabble tiles?
There must be something that works better on both levels.

Once again spot on Lazzard and thanks for taking the time, I've done what you suggested and its gone from being a fat cow to a lean whippet and thats won the race.

This one came to me yesterday as I saw a letter E tile on the floor as we had been playing the night before. So I put it in my small pocket instead of opening the box and putting it back right away, as you do.
Then I went on my walk and I was laughing to myself that if for some outlandish reason I was stopped by the police and they asked 'Whats in your pockets' I could have confessed to having a E and ten enjoy seeing the young bobbies eyes light up and then see the hairy arse sergeant's eyebrows go up at the young copper once I showed them it .
