The Cheeseborough Family.Another typical day in the Cheeseborough household. Mother is dusting and Father is dieing from a mortal axe wound, again.THE LIVING ROOM OF THE CHEESEBOROUGH FAMILY. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH IS DUSTING AND FUSSING AROUND THE FURNITURE. THERE IS A SOFA AND TWO CHAIRS. A COFFEE TABLE. BEHIND THE SOFA IS A BOOKCASE AND A MANTELPIECE. THERE IS A FRONT DOOR ON THE LEFT. MR CHEESEBOROUGH LIES ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE TABLE WITH A HUGE AXE IN HIS CHEST. MR CHEESEBOROUGH: Ow ouch ouch ow ow. This is really quite painful. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Yes, I do suppose it would be. But you’ve only got yourself to blame. MR CHEESEBOROUGH: Ahhrgghhh, I think I’m dieing. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Well, I know I’m dusting but you don’t hear me going on about it. MR CHEESEBOROUGH: Urgh, I am now dead. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Oh no, not in the living room, Monty. Good grief, polite people die in bed. Never the gentleman, tsk tsk. MYDAUGHTER CHEESEBOROUGH ENTERS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR MYDAUGHTER: Hello Mother Cheeseborough. I have come home from outside. You know it is very cold out in Antarctica. But it’s a good job it’s lovely and warm here. Otherwise I would not have come. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Hello there Mydaughter, I’m afraid I appear to have murdered your father. MYDAUGHTER: Oh well, never mind. I can always buy a new one. MYDAUGHTER STEPS FORWARD AND SEES MR CHEESEBOROUGH ON THE FLOOR. MYDAUGHTER: Eeekk. Where’s the television gone? MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Oh. I’ve hidden it. That’s why I murdered your father. MYDAUGHTER: Oh right. That. In that case everything is fine. Except perhaps that whole Israel Palestine thing. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Oh, I’m so glad it’s not raining, at least not indoors. Yes, horribly rainy outside but fortunately not indoors. MYDAUGHTER: Mother, have you gone completely mad? MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: No dear, why do you ask? Is it for a school project? MYDAUGHTER: No, it’s just I can’t help but notice that that top really doesn’t match with that dress. Such a mistake must surely show insanity in one who reads all the right fashion magazines. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Come now dear. Razzle and Playboy are not fashion magazines. MYDAUGHTER: No, but it would make London fashion week much more horny if they were. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Horny? Horny!? I should think the last thing London fashion week needs is tusks! MYDAUGHTER: I don’t know, I think tusks could be really big. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Oh they can. They can. I saw this programme and out in Africa some men have tusks 14 foot long. Or was it elephants? MYDAUGHTER: Men don’t have elephants. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Oh, men will have anything they want when they’re desperate. MR CHEESEBOROUGH: (SITTING UP) Ahh, I feel much better now. You know there’s nothing like a quick death. You know I feel like an elephant. MYDAUGHTER: You don’t look like one. MRS CHEESEBOROUGH: Yes, let’s all go buy an elephant. ALL HOLD HANDS AND EXIT THROUGH FRONT DOOR. ENDS
