DEV & CATHERINE ARE LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR SIGNS OF ANY DEATHS.

DEV : It's looking bad today.

CAT : Well can't you just MAKE things happen?

DEV : Not supposed to really. (BEAT) I suppose we could maybe influence things.

CAT : Come on then. I'm getting bored up here.

SCENE AT A CIRCUS. AN ARCHER IS STANDING NEAR A TARGET AND TALKING TO THE AUDIENCE.

ARCHER : Now then, can I have a volunteer?

A MAN WALKS OUT TO A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

ARCHER : Thankyou - and could you just stand by the target with this apple on your head.

HE TAKES THE APPLE, STANDS INFRONT OF THE TARGET & PUTS IT ON HIS HEAD.

ARCHER TAKES AIM. SUDDENLY A BEE STINGS THE ARCHER WHOSE AIM SLIPS AND THE ARROW HITS THE MAN IN THE HEART. WE SEE DEV AND CAT IN THE AUDIENCE DOING A HIGH FIVE WHILE REST OF AUDIENCE GASP.

SCENE CHANGES TO RESTAURANT KITCHEN - LOTS OF ACTIVITY. ??????????

DEV : Excuse me sir. I can't help noticing that you're poor and I think there's something we can do for you. Would you like a FREE DVD player?

MAN :What's the catch?

DEV : There's no catch - well not now anyway. Live for today - that's our motto. We're from Savasouls.

MAN : So what do I do then.

DEV : Just sign here and here and the DVD players yours, OK?

****************************************

I'm not sure exactly where this is to be inserted (!) but maybe Gavin or Earman can do the necessary.

Incidentally I'm thinking of taking what's been done to my local Actors Practise Group on Tuesday to try some of it out . I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Guys. I dont know if this is any good, just banged it up. Will probably require lots of tweaks and fill ins. There is load of scope for more comedy with it.


Dev and Cat are making a home call to a Mr & Mrs Smith. They rap on the door and a very very large Mrs Smith lets them in.
They are shown to the living room and seated on the settee. All around them are Pizza boxes and curry bags. Mr Smith is spilling out of his armchair.

Mrs Smith
I saw your advert on My Space. You can make dreams come true. Is this for real.

Dev
(winks) It certainly is Madam.

Mrs smith
Well as you can see, my husband & I have put on a bit of weight over the past 15 years.

Cat
Oh yes! That is very apparent.

Mrs Smith
We have tried dieting…

Dev
I can see (nods towards the take away boxes)

Mrs Smith
(Raises her voice slightly) We have! We truly have. We have tried weight watchers, supermarket diets, Atkins, and that GUI thing

Dev
(Chuckles) I think you mean Gi . GUI is more of a pain when you pee. (Chuckles again)

Mr Smith
Look in a nutshell, we need to be thin. Our daughter is getting married in 12 weeks & I know she is terribly embarrassed of our weight. We want to make her proud.

Cat
Understandable.

Dev
Yes. I agree. A father should walk his daughter down the aisle not wobble.(Dev gets up and does an impression of a waddling man, blowing his cheeks out).

Mrs Smith
Look can you help or not.

Dev
Oh Yes! I think a size 10 for you madam, and a nice 34 waist for your husband. How does that sound.

Mr Smith
Whats the catch

Catherine
No catch, just a signature on a sheet of paper stating that when you die your soul becomes ours.

Mr Smith
But we will be dead anyway right. A long time from now, but we will stay slim always yeah, no matter what we eat we will stay slim.

Dev
Yes. Slim (Dev sucks his cheeks in), not fat (Dev blows them out) Slim (sucks them in) Till death.

Mrs Smith
Oooooh Will I realy be a size 10. OMG! I have never been a size 10.

Dev
Yes Madam you will, I mean right now you are (Dev sucks in air) at a guess a size 30 and around 24 stone.

Mrs Smith
(Gasps) I am a size 22 and 19 stone.

Dev
Well I was very close. Anyway you will shrink down to a size 10 and around 91/2 stone. You will be (whistles) something else Madam.

Mr Smith
Right where do we sign

Catherine takes out the documents and hands them to The Smiths.

This works really well in the context - editors - where would you insert this?

I especially liked this bit.

Sorry, this is probably a load of old bollox but I am bored LOL.


Elza calls Dev into her office for a catch up meeting.


Elza
Dev take a seat, & don’t try to be funny by walking out with the chair I am not in the mood.

Dev
Do you have a headache?

Elza
I want to know how things are progressing.

Dev
Fine. Everything is going to plan.

Elza
(Chews her lip) Targets, quotas?

Dev
Like I said, to plan.

Elza
Shocking! Well I want all the up to date files on my desk by the end of the day. Your stuffing up somewhere I just know it. Life is just not this smooth when you are around.

Dev
Ye of little faith.

Elza
How is Catherine getting on

Dev
Great. She is a nice kid.

Elza
You keep your hands off that girl.

Dev
(Pretends to act shocked) What kind of man do you think I am. I mean I haven’t even noticed her blonde hair & baby blue eyes or those never ending pins.

Elza
Keep your hands to yourself Dev. There is something not quite right with Catherine. Infact I do believe she should not be here. I think there has been a mix up with the paper work. However keep that to yourself for the time being. You can do that cant you Dev. Keep that (points at his crotch) to yourself.

Dev
That (Dev points to his crotch, then using an index finger from each hand, slowly moves them apart) Has got Elza (moves fingers to just under a foot in length) Bob written all over it.

Elza
Don’t flatter yourself. Just get me those files by 5.30pm. I am going to scrutinise every word.

Dev gets up to leave

Dev
Deep down in that Demonic mind of yours you are desperate for a decent………….

Elza
(Shouts) Dev, files , 5.30pm , Bye.

What - the whole thing from start to finish?

Sorry- I'm not chasing but I was asked to do some extra bits which may be too long and then Charley's done some more so you should be spoiled for choice.

I know there are partsof mine that don't work but if you stick them in context we'll have a better idea of where to go (bed forinstance).
