INT. LOUNGE – DAY
A CABLE MAN SWITCHES ON A DIGIBOX AND TURNS TO A CUSTOMER.
CABLE MAN:
Right, we’re all set. Here’s your remote.
CUSTOMER
What’s this button?
CABLE MAN:
Let’s have a look.
THE CUSTOMER INDICATES A BUTTON MARKED ‘APE RAPE’.
CABLE MAN:
It’s all in the instructions. Any problems, you’ve got my card. See you later.
THE CABLE MAN LETS HIMSELF OUT.
THE CUSTOMER SITS THERE A MOMENT STARING AT THE REMOTE.
SLOWLY, HIS FINGER EDGES FOR THE BUTTON. HE PRESSES IT.
A HAND COMES DOWN ON HIS SHOULDER.
HE TURNS TO SEE AN ORANGUTAN.
ORANGUTAN:
Sorry, mate, you only get that with the plus package.
CUSTOMER:
Oh.
ORANGUTAN:
Did you sign up for Animal Planet?
CUSTOMER:
Yeah.
THE ORANGUTAN SWITCHES THE CHANNEL. ON SCREEN, A CHIMP SWINGS THROUGH THE TREES.
ORANGUTAN:
Look at the arse on that.
