JAMES BOND IS TALKING TO JAQUI SMITH

JAMES

I'm here for my equipment. Blofeld's planning to use his sonic cannon to give the whole US the shits. Hang on where's Q ?

JAQUI

He was behind the times. I'm Jaqui Smith home secretary, and we in New Labour know what 00 Agents need to fight evil.

JAMES

An invisible Aston Martin?

JAQUI

No a spare sock.

BOND

A sock?

JAQUI

So if you get upto fight evil, you won't be delayed looking for your second sock.

BOND

Do I at least get a Desert Eagle, with poisoned teflon bullets, and a laser sight?

JAQUI

Nope you get a dog poo on a stick. Far scarier than a silly gun.

BOND

Look you mad bitch. I don't want any of this rubbish, you didn't even ask me.

JAQUI

Well tough. MI5 didn't want 42 days detention but they got it, I don't see why you OO should be any different.

BOND

Thunder Balls, we've got Dr No chance against Bin Laden now.

Sorry Sootyj, who wrote that last line The Crankies!

It's a pace change punchline. The point being it's bad but different.

But I guess it may not work.
