INT. HOUSE - NIGHT
WOMAN IS LYING IN BED, READING.
F/X: SOUND OF THE FRONT DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING.
MAN (GERALD) (OOV):
Honey, I'm home!
WOMAN:
Gerald! You're late again. Tell me you didn't get into another fight at work.
GERALD (STILL OOV)
Darling, it's not my fault. The youths these days need teaching some manners. They always come to the chip shop drunk and start a fight
GERALD WALKS IN, COVERED IN EGG AND CRUMBS
GERALD:
Anyway, I really battered them this time.
Ooooh wack wack waaaaa
That joke was told in the Garden of Eden.
You have writen much better.
Tis an old joke indeed.
Sorry. It's been a slow day
Yeah, I recall that "two fish got battered" in the chip shop fight last time.

As a suggestion. After the line, 'They always come to the chip shop drunk and start a fight.'
GERALD WALKS IN WITH ANOTHER MAN WHO IS COVERED IN CHIPS, NEWSPAPERS AND BRUISES AND IS CLEARLY INTOXICATED.
GERALD: Is it ok if the chip shop drunk sleeps here tonight?
Much better angle than the original dross. Nice one, Nigel
