Ext. Petrol Station forecourt.
A woman is in some distress and getting her mobile phone out of her handbag. She looks in the car at her husband who is clutching at his chest and groaning.
Woman: Don’t worry, dear, I’ll get an ambulance here ASAP.
The woman starts dialling 999 on her phone. A petrol station attendant comes walking over.
Attendant: What’s going on?
Woman: We came out to get some petrol and my husband's heart just went. (ON PHONE) Hello. I need an ambulance.
The attendant grabs the mobile off the woman and turns it off.
Woman: What are you doing?!
Attendant points at a sign which says “PLEASE DO NOT USE MOBILE PHONES ON THE FORECOURT”.
Woman: My husbands HAVING a heart attack!
Attendant: If this place goes up in flames then my boss’ll have one too!
Woman: My husband is DYING!
Attendant: Then drive him to a bloody hospital!
Woman: We haven’t got enough petrol!
Attendant: Well it’s not my fault you didn’t plan ahead.
Woman: Why would we plan on this?!
Attendant: Let me get this straight - you haven't much petrol and your husband’s having a heart attack?
Woman: Yes!
Attendant: Best you ring for an ambulance.
Woman: I was trying to, but you hung up on it!
Attendent points at the “PLEASE DO NOT USE MOBILE PHONES ON THE FORECOURT” sign again.
Woman: So you want me to leave the forecourt?!
Attendant: Yes!
Woman: Fine!
The woman snatches the phone back and starts walking off the premises. The attendant looks over in her direction.
Attendant: Oy! You can’t leave yer car here.
