Carla Learns to Wave

CARLA BRUNI and PRINCE PHILIP

In state coach, looking through windows.
Sounds of applauding crowd.

CARLA:
And Phillipe, do you wave with your right or your left hand?

PHILIP:
In this country, Carla, we wave on the right.

CARLA:
So what do you with your left hand?

PHILIP:
With your left hand, you can usually find somewhere...

CARLA:
(SHOCKED) Ooh!

PHILIP:(SMILING BEATIFICALLY) Convenient!

It's alright, John, but a bit humdrum. There's not enough of a twist and/or big follow-up joke at the end. Probably needs a pause and then Carla to say something unexpected (or the Queen to poke her head out of Carla's skirt and tell Phillip to get his hand out of her hair!)

Yeah, I couldn't decide about this one, but it's in the current running order for Treason this month, so hopefully I'll get a chance to see if it gets a laugh.
