Fast Talker

Fast Talker


	On a street somewhere. Stephen is trying to interview 
	Hugh as the eyewitness to a road accident. Hugh is a 
	fast-talking, over-eager Australian. Stephen has to keep 
	stepping in and out of shot to restrain Hugh.


Stephen		(To cameraman) Are we ready?

Hugh		Yup. Any time. I was standing ...

Stephen		No, I was just talking to the cameraman.

Hugh		Right. Got you.

Stephen		OK. So basically I'll just ask you what you saw ...

Hugh		Well this guy came haring round the corner, must
		have been doing about fifty ...

Stephen		Wait a minute ... Can you wait until ...

Hugh		Oh right.

Stephen		I'll ask you a question about what you saw ...

Hugh		Yeah, this guy came round that corner, I thought
		he was going to hit that wall over there ...

Stephen		No. Can you wait until I've asked you the
		question ...

Hugh		Sorry. Sorry.

Stephen		Now then ...

Hugh		This guy came round that corner there ...

Stephen		WAIT ... a minute.

Hugh		Sorry. I thought you ...

Stephen		No. Just wait. Brian, are you ready?

Brian		(Off) Ready.

Hugh		OK. This guy came haring round that corner ...

Stephen		Shut up!

Hugh		Oh yeah, right.

Stephen		Please do not say anything until I've asked you a
		question.

Hugh		Oh I get you. Right, sorry.

Stephen		Good. Now Mr Travis, I believe you ...

Hugh		Yeah that's right, and this guy came round that
		corner over there doing about fifty ...

	Stephen goes right up to Hugh, noses almost touching,
	and screams at him.

Stephen		WAIT ... UNTIL ... I'VE ... ASKED YOU
		... THE ... QUESTION!!

	Longish pause.

Hugh		OK.

Stephen		Thank you ...

Hugh		This guy came ...

	Stephen punches Hugh in the face incredibly hard.
