Hiya folks,
I haven't posted much on here lately, so thought I'd post one of my sketches that NewsRevue are perfoming this weekend.
It's a differemnt take on Fawlty Towers but using Georgian people instead of Germans.
DON'T MENTION THE WAR (RUSSIA/GEORGIA) by MIKEY J
INT. HOTEL RESTAURANT.DAY.
MAN AND WOMAN SITTING AT A RESTAURANT TABLE. THE HOTEL OWNER, ACTING AND SOUNDING UNCANNILY LIKE BASIL FAWLTY, WALKS OVER TO THEM.
HOTEL OWNER:
Hello, you two. I'm the owner of this hotel. I hope you're enjoying your stay here.
WOMAN:
(IN RUSSIAN TYPE ACCENT) Yes, we are having a… how you say? … good time.
HOTEL OWNER:
Oh, you're foreign. Are you Russian?
MAN:
Certainly not. We are from Georgia.
HOTEL OWNER:
Oh, I see. It's okay. Don't worry. I won't mention the war. (TO HIMSELF) Remember. Don't mention the war. (TO MAN) What would you like to eat, Sir?
MAN:
Well, I'd like a cake and a bruschetta.
HOTEL OWNER:
What was that? You want to take over South Ossetia?
MAN:
No. That's not what I said.
HOTEL OWNER:
Sorry, sorry. I mentioned the war. Sorry. I must remember. Don't mention the war. Anyway… anything to drink?
WOMAN:
Yes, please. I'd like a black Russian.
HOTEL OWNER:
What was that? You back Russia?
WOMAN:
No, that's not what I said.
MAN:
You're upsetting my wife! Stop mentioning the war.
HOTEL OWNER:
You started it.
MAN:
No, I didn't
HOTEL OWNER:
Yes you did. You invaded…
MAN:
(INTERRUPTING) Stop! That's it! As well as insulting us and our county, you were just about to rip off a Fawlty Towers punchline. Shame on you. And just for mentioning the war several times, I'm going to report you to Mikheil Saakashvili.
HOTEL OWNER:
You want to suck my willy????? Get out, you perv!
END
