INT. FUNCTION ROOM.
A FORMAL PARTY IS IN FULL SWING, POSSIBLY A WEDDING.
TREVOR IS STANDING ALONE BY A TABLE FULL OF FINGER-FOODS.
HE IS DRESSED IN A TUXEDO, HOLDING A GLASS OF CHAMPAIGNE AND LOOKING ADORINGLY AT SOMEBODY OFF-CAMERA.
GONAD ENTERS CARRYING A PINT OF BITTER AND STANDS BESIDE TREVOR.
GONAD NUDGES TREVOR AND INDICATES THE PERSON HE'S LOOKING AT.
GONAD:
Is that your ugly wife?
TREVOR:
I beg your pardon?
GONAD:
The shaved monkey with it's face in the trifle - is that the missus?
TREVOR:
Would you mind not talking about my wife like that?
GONAD:
So it is yours then?
TREVOR:
Yes. Yes SHE is, and she also happens to be a very... well, a moderately attractive woman thank you very much.
GONAD RESTS A REASSURING HAND ON TREVORS ARM.
GONAD:
Don't thank me, thank the doctor that cut off it's testicles.
TREVOR:
What?!
GONAD:
Oh come on! It's got to have been a bloke at one point in it's life. It stands to reason.
TREVOR:
Listen, I don't know who you think you are, but I'm not going to stand here and listen to you insult my wife!
GONAD:
I don't blame you. (PAUSE) You should be over there doing it for yourself.
TREVOR:
What?!
GONAD:
Here...
GONAD PULLS A HAMMER FROM HIS BACK POCKET AND HANDS IT TO TREVOR.
GONAD:
Go and tell it to fix it's face.
GONAD WALKS AWAY LEAVING TREVOR LOOKING LIKE THE VICTIM OF A HIT AND RUN CONFUSION.
FADE OUT.
