Police Interview Sketch

Int. Police Interview Room

A policeman is sat at a table opposite a man

Policeman: Are you aware of why you've been arrested?

Man: As a matter of fact, no.

Policeman: Don’t worry, it's purely procedure.

Man: Oh and bundling me into a sack and shoving me in the boot of a car is also purely procedure?

Policeman: Probably. It’s probably in the rule book. Somewhere.

Man: Well I'm not saying anything until my solicitor gets here.

Policeman: Your solicitor? Oh (LAUGHS) he rang to say he can’t make it today.

Man: He rang? He?! But she's a woman!

Policeman: (SIGHS) More fool you then.

Man: What exactly is it I’m being charged with?

Policeman: That's no concern of yours.

Man: What? What about my civil liberties?

Policeman: They're at reception, you can get them on your way out.

Man: So I am going to get released?

Policeman: As long as you co-operate with us.

Man: What d’you want to know then?

Policeman: Are you Jack The Ripper?

Man: Of course I'm not.

Policeman: And why's that?

Man: Because he'd be over 100 years old by now!

Policeman: I see. Let me ask you this then: Are you the real mother of Prince Charles?

Man: No I am not!

Policeman: I've got a number of sources that tell me otherwise.

Man: And I've got a number of testicles that PROVE otherwise!

Policeman: Well we're going to have to charge you with something.

Man: Why?

Policeman: For statistics.

Man: Jesus! What have you got then?

Policeman: Carrying an armed toupee?

Man: No, not for me.

Policeman: Resisting a kiss from the chief of police?

Man: Has he got a beard?

Policeman: He has actually.

Man: Ah, I can't resist beards, so that’s a no.

Policeman: Hmmm, impersonating a police officer?

Man: Yeah, ok. I'll have that one.

Policeman: Go on then. Start impersonating.

Man: Alright. I’ll start by arresting you.

Policeman: Me? Whatever for?

Man: Wasting police time.

Policeman: Meh, it's a fair cop.

ENDS

clever with nice ending

Nice, very nice, most banter skits are awful. Yours just zing, damn they're lemony fresh.

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

That was really good, although the last line didn't do it for me, just the simple twist was enough.

Nice one WL add this to your 'best of'.

Easy to read, enjoyable & funny too. I hate your guts! :D

Thanks all.
