Dentist Sketch

Just a quick Idea.

A WOMAN IS IN THE DENTIST'S CHAIR AND IS TALKING TO HER DENTIST.

Dentist
So, Mrs Winterson, have you had a good day?

Woman
Not really, I've been in court.

Dentist
Really? How come?

Woman
Erm... Well, I recently got a job at the Estate Agents, the one down the road, and my boss (PAUSES) well, former boss, was sexually harassing me.

Dentist
That's terrible. Did he go to jail?

Woman
Yes, It was awful, all day long he would just come up and touch me innapropiately and he would use sexual innuendo's all day long, for just everyday tasks, really was awful.

Dentist
Bloody hell (PAUSES) I'm sorry.

Woman
It doesn't matter, I just want to get on with my life now.

Dentist
Yeah of course, anyway, open wide.

(WOMAN LOOKS AT DENTIST)

Woman
I beg your pardon?

Dentist
(JUMPS BACK) I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

Woman
(JUMPS OFF CHAIR AND WALKS OUT) Disgusting!

Liked this but thought maybe better shorter, also maybe the dentist says:Anyway lie back and open wide and she just punches him. Just my thoughts :)

It's good, but I'd drop the sexual harassment at the end. And have the inuendos get increasingly more horrendous.

It's a good idea.

I think you need to have a couple of innuendos thrown in rather than just one. Still end with the open wide one though, perhaps "open wide and let me take a good look".

A punch would be a good way to end this. And have the woman follow it with something like "You men are all the same".

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes, I think you are all right that I need to get a few more innuendo's in there. I shall work on this. Thanks!

It's a good foundation for a joke and, taking sugestions into account, you have yourself a nice little skit. Maybe even a runner. Perhaps you could think of some other situations that might be ripe with innuendo.
