INT. A PRISON
The GUARD escorts BOB to a jail cell.
Bob: "No! I don't belong in there!"
Guard: "Please sir, if I had a nickel for everytime I heard that, I'd be richer than Worldcom right now."
They finally get to the cell, which houses two other inmates dressed
in orange jumpsuits.
Bob: "Please, I'll do whatever it takes to get me out of this place!
THE GUARD shoves BOB into the cell and closes the door.
Guard: You should have thought about that before you committed the crime, you dirty, little man...
Bob: (while clinging to the cell bars) "Thought about what? I'm not dirty or little either..."
THE GUARD leaves while humming the theme song to COPS.
Inmate #1: "...its no use porky. We wouldn't be criminals if we could think."
Bob: "What is this? I pay tax dollars to support this place, and when I visit, I get ridiculed? Sheesh."
INMATE #2 steps forward with a smirk on her face.
Inmate #2: What are you "visiting" for?
BOB stammers and tilts his head to the ground, too ashamed to tell.
Inmate #1: "That's ok, man. Hookers are a very essential part to
human life. The undercover cops are always the hottest ones..."
Bob: "No, no. It wasn't anything to do with a prostitute.
Inmate #2: "Then what was it? Believe us, its probably nothing we haven't heard before."
Bob: "Ah, ok....I stole cable."
Both of the INMATES exchange confused glances.
Inmate #1: (half laughing) "You stole cable as in cable TV?!"
BOB puts his back down and mutters something.
Bob: "Yes."
Both INMATES howl in laughter.
Bob: "Hey, you said you guys have heard everything!"
Inmate #2: "Yeah, like REAL crimes!
Bob: Well, what did you two do that was so bad?"
Both INMATES faces change to toughness and seriousness
Inmate #1: "I had an arrest warrant in eight different states for Grand Theft Auto and Arson."
BOB takes a step back.
Inmate #2: Attempted homicide, Disturbing the Peace, five time DUI-er, and a stolen car police chase for fifty miles..."
BOB takes a few more steps back.
Inmate #1: Wait a second, I think I understand why this dude stole cable."
Inmate #2: "He's a heartless, gutless, cheapskate?"
Inmate #1: "Well, that was my second guess, but I think he wanted to hide the fact that he wasn't a subscriber to the porn channels."
Bob: (biting his lip) "Uh...yeah...sure!"
Inmate #2: "I don't believe him. I still think he's a heartless..."
Suddenly, BOB lunches forward at INMATE #2 to hit him. But just then,
the WARDEN steps in front of the cell.
Warden: "Hey, HEY! What is going on here?"
BOB pats INMATE #2 on the back and dusts himself off as he walks
towards the bar.
Bob: "Nothing sir. We were just getting to know each other better."
Warden: "Well, I hope you guys enjoyed your time together; all of you will be split up. Guard, take the cable pirates out of this cell and put then in the East Wing."
Bob: "Wait. Cable PIRATES? I thought I was the only one?"
The WARDEN starts to laugh.
Warden: "No, definately not. These two other guys were some of the most notorious cable pirates in the tri-state area. You didn't believe their stories, did you?"
BOB lowers his head again and mutters.
Bob: "Yes."
Now, BOTH INMATES join THE WARDEN in laughter as they all exit.
FADE OUT.
