Halliwells.

TIM AND JEN ARE IN A RESTAURANT.

TIM

This is a nice restaurant, and it seems relatively normal.

JEN

What's that supposed to be, are you stifling me again?

TIM

No, no, it's just there was the one with out cutlery, the one with out food and the one with out poor Saxon.

JEN

It was a very traditional Korean restaurant, and it was BYOD.

WAITER APPROACHES THEM.

WAITER

What would sir and madame like to order?

SOUND OF COMICALLY LOUD ORGASM

JEN

I'll have what she's having.

TIM

Eh, is this some sort of joke?

WAITER

No sir, this is Halliwell's we only serve the finest cinema cliches.

JEN

Don't you embarass me you sod.

TIM GAZES AT MENU IN FEAR.

TIM

This looks nice it comes with fava beans, and chianti.

WAITER

Ah census taker's liver, I'll get the gun.

TIM

God no, what about 3 pints of creamy fish soup?

WAITER

Ah the deep throat.

BEGINS TO UNBUTTON FLIES.

TIM

Ok damn it I'll have the Forest Gump.

WAITER

Bon one faked orgasm, and a 3 hour banquet of stale cliches, queasy sentiment and sacharine.

WAITER WALKS OFF.

LIN

I hope you eat that all, without making a big scene like you did with Towser.

WAITER RUNS BACK.

TIM

Oh don't tell me the Gumpo is offm guess you're going to be eating humblepie.

WAITER

No you fools Michael Winner just ordered the Mr Creosote special, and he's just had a wafer thin mint.

EXPLOSION

END

There are some good lines, but I don't really get it.

I think it's clever without being funny, somehow. But it may go down a riot with the right crowd! :)

I love film. But I didn't find it remotely funny. Sorry.
