Time Machine 2

INT. LAB – DAY

DOCTOR SAMSON TINKERS WITH HIS TIME MACHINE, WHICH IS HUNG WITH AN ‘OUT OF ORDER' SIGN. TIGHTENING A BOLT, HE SLIPS AND JARS HIS HAND PAINFULLY.

DOCTOR SAMSON:
Damn it all!

DOCTOR JENKINS ARRIVES FLANKED WITH A TEAM OF RESEARCH ASSISTANTS.

DOCTOR JENKINS:
(SMUG) Having trouble with your Time Machine, Samson? Maybe it's *time* to call it a day.

JENKINS AND HIS ASSISTANTS GUFFAW AT THE LAME JOKE AND EXCHANGE HIGH-FIVES BEFORE SLINKING AWAY. DOCTOR SAMSON, THOROUGHLY BURNED, GETS BACK TO WORK ON HIS MACHINE WITH RENEWED VIGOUR.

INT. LAB – LATER

SAMPSON MAKES A FINAL ADJUSTMENT TO HIS MACHINE AND IT COMES TO LIFE WITH A SATISFYING HUM. SMILING, HE DISCARDS THE ‘OUT OF ORDER' SIGN.

DOCTOR SAMSON:
I'll show you, Jenkins…

SUDDENLY, A SECOND DOCTOR SAMSON APPEARS AND SUCKER PUNCHES JENKINS IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. JENKINS GOES DOWN LIKE A SACK OF SPUDS. THE SECOND SAMSON GIVES THE ORIGINAL A WINK AND TAKES OFF. THE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS BEGIN CLAPPING ORIGINAL SAMSON.

RESEARCH ASSISTANTS:
Bravo! Genius!

Very good.

:)

Bravo indeed.

Great sketch!

Thanks, guys - a happy response for a sketch I was quite unsure about.

Very nice excelent bit of comedy that.

Inspired me to dig out an old time travel joke of me own.

Back on form, Bussell!
