Babies

TWO WOMEN ARE TALKING IN A CAFE (SUE AND LIN)

SUE
So how’s your little Daryl? He must be almost a year now?

LIN
Mummies little angel. But how about you Sue? Still no little treasure for you?

SUE
Oh it’s ok Lin I’ve got the next best thing I get . I get to work with the little sweeties all day long.

LIN
You’re working in a nursery?

SUE
No.

LIN
You’re a foster mum? Oh how wonderful!

SUE
No silly. I fight babies professionally.

LIN
What?

SUE
Yeh I’m ranked 3rd in the UK in the extreme baby fighting league.

LIN
You are joking.

SUE
No (beat) you always belittle everything I do, what kind of friend are you? Just because I’m single, and I haven’t got a little Daryl.

LIN
The kind who knows it’s wrong for you to beat up defence less little babies. You’re a monster, you need help.

SUE
They’re not defenceless; it’s 3 against me, and they’re not allowed to fight till they’re teething and really fussy. I mean I have to fight 3 grumpy babies, alone, and unarmed.

LIN
You sick, lunatic you wanna’ get yourself down the loony bin or something.

SUE
I’m sorry I was only kidding.

LIN
Thank God, that was not funny.

SUE
You really think I fight them unarmed?

BANGS A BASEBALL ON THE TABLE IT HAS LOADS OF TINY TEETH JAMMED INTO THE WOOD.

I jsut got a lovely new computer, and look what I choose what to do with it!

Ha! Very amusing. Not sure about the teeth (a tad disgusting, but hey) Also there is a misplaced comma, but apart from that, good!

A misplaced comma? That#s my equivalent of Stephen Hawkins climbing Everest.

Thanks.

I like it. Just when you thought it was bad enough....

Nice one.

It's a good one. A baby fighting league is a really nice idea.

Bo.

I like this a lot, though a nice touch might be having the other woman come round when she discovers Sue has to fight THREE of them! When they are TEETHING!

But your punchline is nice too.
