Scene -- Maine, Reggie Fox's new manservant Lane has arrived carrying a tray of two champagne glasses and holds a considerable amount of C4 behind his back with the other hand
[Enter LANE]
LANE. Mr. Reggie Fox
[Enter FOX]
FOX. Yo, what up Lane?
LANE. Not much Reginald, what's crackin'?
FOX. Do you remember what I said about robbing banks now that Disabled Social Security no longer pays for you as my manservant?
LANE. "No sir; it is not a very interesting subject."
FOX. Well shut up, the government ain't payin' you to say boring stuff. You are paid to announce my entrance into every room and put swizzle sticks into my champagne.
LANE. Yes sir.
FOX. Now keep the bank thing in mind cause "I'm gonna get read weird with it."
LANE. Oh I do love pop culture references sir!
FOX. Shut up Mary Poppins, now, did you get that C4 I asked you for?
LANE. "Yes, sir; eight bottles and a pint."
FOX. C4 comes in a liquid now?
LANE. Science, sir.
FOX. Indubitably, mothascratcha. Well anyway, I'm gonna use that C4 to not just rob a bank, "I'm-a blow that motherf***** up."
LANE. Well that will accomplish absolutely nothing positive sir
FOX. 'Scuse me?
LANE. Simple math dictates that destroying a building with a great deal of money leads all that money to be destroyed...even simpler math dictates that you are an imbecile.
FOX. "Least you finally bein' honest."
LANE. When am I ever not honest?
FOX. ....Shoot
LANE. Good day [Exit LANE]
Dom, I think that the most impressive part of this post is how well you portray the characters, and actually write for them lines that I could imagine them saying. Reggie and Lane's script here are absolutely perfect, and that makes the scenario that much more amusing. As a comedic fellow, you have a knack for parody - something I could imagine you having great success doing in your future.
