Poetry sketch

INT. CAFÉ – NIGHT

A POETRY READING. SAT IN THE BACK, A SHIFTY LOOKING MAN IS SCRIBBLING ON PARCHMENT WITH A QUILL.

ONE OF THE OTHER PATRONS CALLS OVER A WAITER AND POINTS OUT THE SCRIBBLER. REALISING HE'S BEEN CLOCKED, THE SCRIBBLER GATHERS UP HIS MATERIALS AND SCARPERS.

WAITER:
Oy! Come back here!

EXT. STREET – DAY

THE SHIFTY MAN HAS A SELECTION OF POETRY BOOKS SPREAD OUT ON A SHEET.

SHIFTY MAN:
Get your poetry, five pounds a pop!

Nice.

Thank you.
