A familiar taste

This is based on that couple that found out they were brother and sister. Forgive me if it was done to death at the time, i'm new here. Totally open to any ideas you may have (erm good ones).

Doctor:
Please be seated. I'm afraid I have some unsettling and extraordinary news for you. Before I reveal it I must just ask you; you have two children yes? Billy 14 and Susie 13.

Mrs Dinkley:
Yes our precious unique little angels.

Doc:
Yes…erm, have they been exhibiting any strange behaviour?

Mr Dinkley:
Like what Doctor?

Doc:
Oh I don't know, walking into doors, putting their clothes on back to front?

Mrs Dinkley:
No, they can be somewhat slow but they pick each other up. They're like best friends, they love each other so much.

Doc:
Oh dear Lord. Look, have either of you ever been for a blood test before?

Mr Dinkley:
No. Gee I hope it's not my blood pressure playing up. Why that would be about the worst news ever.

Mrs Dinkley:
Oh brother.

Doc:
Your blood pressure is fine. Look have you ever seen those kind of talk shows where they re-unite long lost siblings?

Mr Dinkley:
Ah hell TV nowadays is all chefs and queers. I mean not to sound homophobic but two lovers from the same gender! Doesn't that just freak you out?

Doc:
.…Yesss, Mr Dinkley let me ask you something. Do you perhaps know if you have a sister?

Mr Dinkley:
I don't believe so. Why, do you have a sister?

Doc:
Huh! What! No! What are you implying?!

Mr Dinkley:
Implying? Nothing. Nothing at all. Whatever's the matter Doc?

Doc:
Sorry sorry. Nothing nothing. Erm now where was I? Oh right, now you two know you were both adopted. You ever find out about your parents?

Mr Dinkley:
I only know my father's name was George. He came over from Hamburg and moved to Charlottesville where he was a baker.

Mrs Dinkley:
I was told my mothers name was Charlotte and she was from Bakersville but moved to Georgetown where she ran a Hamburger outlet.

Doc:
I see. That actually makes things clearer.

Mr Dinkley:
It does. Well shoot Doc, what's the big news then?

Doc:
You may need a glass of water each. Can I get you some water?

Mrs Dinkley:
Nah hell just spit it out already Doc.

Doctor
(big gulp) Well, according to your DNA tests, you two, are actually…brother and sister!

Mrs Dinkley:
Really?!

Doc:
Are you ok? Would you like me to call for a counsellor?

Mr Dinkley:
Huh. For what!

Mrs Dinkley:
You mean that's it! That's the big fuss?

Mr Dinkley:
Well God Damn boy. You ain't been in Arkansas long have you Doc?

(They get up and leave, arm in arm, chuckling)

That's a very good skit, good characterisation, subtle and some really good lines.

It's a bit marred by a weakish punch, and it could be slightly shorter.

Otherwise top stuff.

Love the line about the kids walking into stuff.

Cheers sootyj. I kinda like the punch but i did also worry if it was obvious - is that why you thought it was weakish? In retrospect i think you're definitely right about the length though, i can see ways of shortening it. Thanks mate.

It's a bit obvious, and it's a bit boom tish, for a skit that odes realy well from slow build, and character development.

I might just be being a bit pedantic here, but surely they would be fairly surprised to find out that they were brother and sister, whether they were married to eachother or not?

In the end, the punch wasn't strong enough to make this one work for me, sorry.
