A YOUNG MAN IS SEEN URINATING AGAINST A TREE, A LOCAL RESIDENT IS NOT BEST PLEASED AND SO HAS A WORD.

RESIDENT: Oi! Oi! What d'you think you're doing?

YOUTH: I was busting mister.

RESIDENT: That tree's a hundred and fifty years old.

YOUTH: Wow! is that why it's all wrinkly?

RESIDENT: All trees are, didn't you learn that at school?

YOUTH: Nah...couldn't be arsed with school.

RESIDENT: And trees hate spotty little Herberts like you pissing on 'em.

YOUTH: I won't do it again, honest.

RESIDENT: Well that's alright then.

YOUTH: What kind of tree is it mister?

RESIDENT: It's an Elder...you should learn to respect your Elders.

It's better with more condensed dialogue...as above.. :)

Condensed maybe but I don't think that one quite works though.

It's the same sketch just superfluous words cut. It's slicker now IMO :P

I'm just not entirely sure that it works... would the kid ask what kind of tree it is? Why would he give a f**k? Seems more like a joke to me than a sketch. My favourite bit was : "And trees hate spotty little Herberts like you pissing on 'em."

Spotty little Herberts!

I know it's purposefully corny, but I was expecting a better punchline from the build up and strong comic setting.

Maybe the resident should say what kind of tree it is, not the kid

KID
I won't do it again.
RESIDENT
Make sure you don't. It's an Elder tree and you should respect your elders...
