Clothes Shop Sketch

Int. Clothes Shop

An assistant is behind the counter. A man approaches it carrying a jumper.

Assistant: Can I help?

Man: Yeah. I bought this jumper at the weekend, but when I got it home I noticed this.

The man turns the jumper round to reveal an extra arm on the back.

Assistant: I don’t see what…

Man: It’s got 3 arms!

Assistant: And how many do you have?

Man: 2!

Assistant: (LAUGHS) I see. Have you got the receipt?

Man: What d’you want that for?

Assistant: We need proof that you bought it here.

Man: Of course I bought it here. It's got your name on the label.

Assistant: Frankie Cheswick?

Man: Not YOUR name! The shops name!

Assistant: I still need to see the receipt.

Man: (CHILDISHLY) Well I chucked it away.

Assistant: More fool you.

Man: Oi, don't give me that shit!

Assistant: Could you mind the language?

Man: I want a refund.

Assistant: How about a voucher.

Man: I don't want a f**king voucher!

Assistant: You're certainly not getting one now.

Man: How 'bout I give you a fat lip?!

Assistant: Violence never solved anything.

Man: C'mon you big pansy, let's step outside. Whadda you say to that?

The assistant turns round to reveal a third arm on his back. Two fingers are sticking up.

ENDS

I'm not sure if this is too similar in content to my 'Shoe Shop Sketch' from a few months back.

It's got potential. How about instead of the finger, the customer calls him outside where we find out that Frankie has a bulging third arm with a massive fist on his back.

Like Davids idea! Liked yours too though Winty.

I think it's a really funny sketch!
