Sketch (by Adam and Fraser)


INT – CAR SHOWROOM – DAY

   CUSTOMER
Is this where I can buy the greatest car in the world?

SHOPPIE
Yes..here’s one


SHOPPIE produces a banana and pushes it along the table. He makes car noises

   CUSTOMER
  But..it’s a banana

   SHOPPIE
  It’s original.

   CUSTOMER
  Where am I gonna sit?

SHOPPIE produces a legoman which he attaches to the banana using blu tak.

   CUSTOMER
  But..I’m not that small.

   SHOPPIE
Well..why don’t you take it for a test drive?

CUSTOMER stands on it, it squashes.

SHOPPIE
Oh…that was my best model. The others aren’t ripe yet.

CUSTOMER
Well…I’d better be off then.

SHOPPIE
       (stopping him)
What about this model…it’s larger.

SHOPPIE points to a cardboard box with the words ‘greatest car in the world…ever…part two’ on it.

   SHOPPIE
  Get in

   CUSTOMER
  Now what

   SHOPPIE
Well…you’ve gotto use your imagination. It’s not as simple as the last model. It’s a step up…more complex you see.

  CUSTOMER
Do you have any other colours

  SHOPPIE
Yeah, yeah, you can have any colour you want so long as it’s brown.

  CUSTOMER
What? No red?

  SHOPPIE
Yeah, yeah read. Brown red. Brown. It’s a convertible you know?

  CUSTOMER
Yes…where’s the roof?

  SHOPPIE
Oh…I had to take it off. The present owner stored a bunch of baked beans in it and I needed to take them out you see. Actually came in quite handy.

  CUSTOMER
        (not bothered)
Really…how?

  SHOPPIE
Well I ate them.

Long silence.

  CUSTOMER
I don’t believe you. I thought you were a reputable businessman. My friend bought his car from here and now I know why he’s the laughing stock of the office. You’re demented! It’s a bleeding piece of cardboard. It’s hardly the greatest car on the earth.

  SHOPPIE
It holds the land speed record.

  CUSTOMER
What? Maybe in your demented little head. I mean…

CUSTOMER picks up a plantpot.

…what’s this?

  SHOPPIE
Limited edition Queen LP

CUSTOMER picks up shoe from floor.

  SHOPPIE
Careful…that’s precious.

CUSTOMER throws it on the floor.

FX: smashing sound. CUSTOMER looks confused (if he can actually act)

  SHOPPIE
OK…OK…this is the supreme model.

SHOPPIE takes CUSTOMER to a cupboard. Inside there is a wing mirror. Revving sounds. CUSTOMER walks out. SHOPPIE parks the cupboard. A knock at the door. It’s SANTA
 
  SANTA
You fixed my sleigh yet?

SHOPPIE gives him a plate.
