Set
in a designer baby shop. Has "Designer Babies: we make babies while u wait!". A MOTHER and her teenage son,
BRIAN, walk up to the returns counter, where a CLERK is standing.
BRIAN is generally sulky, and wearing a nappy and sucking a dummy. Clerk: Hello ma'am how can I help you? Mother: Hi, I'd like to return this item. Clerk: Okay, what's wrong with it? Mother: Well, the box says it's a baby, but it's huge! I tried to put it back in the box and it broke the bloody box! Brian: (Takes out dummy) Waaah. Clerk: So, how long ago did you purchase this baby? Mother:
About 16 years. I just left it out in the back room for a few years and... things happened. Clerk: Yes, well, the repackaging guarantee only lasts two years for fully limbed babies. Mother:
But it's totally useless, it can't cook, it can't clean, I'm not sure
it knows how to bathe- (Baby scratches self) Clerk: Ma'am we don't make any claims about the abilities or intelligence of the baby. Brian: (Takes out dummy) Exactly - can I have my clothes back now? Clerk: I think I see the problem ma'am; your baby has grown up. Brian: Sure have. (lights up cigarette. To clerk - flirtatious) Hey - I need someone to change my nappy. Mother: Is there nothing you can do to fix it? Clerk: I don't think it needs fixing (Clerk and Brian walk off together) Mother: Can I at least trade it in for a younger model? Lights down. |
