Carol Hatfield - "The British Are Coming"

JERRY ANSWERS FOR GEORGE

JERRY

He's a mime.

LLOYD LAUGHS, BUT GEORGE DOESN'T.

GEORGE

I am not a mime.

LLOYD (ON MONITOR)

Then what do you do?

GEORGE

I wrote a script with Jerry, here.

LLOYD (ON MONITOR)

So then, you are a writer.

GEORGE

Well, yes, you could call me that.

LLOYD (ON MONITOR)

And, tell me George, if you were writing

about your friend Jerry, would he be honest

and forthright, someone on whom you

could always count?

GEORGE

Sure, I can always count on him. One, two,

three, four . . .

GEORGE LAUGHS AT HIS OLD JOKE. LLOYD AND JERRY WINCE.

CUT TO:

ELAINE

Hi. I'm Elaine. Am I late?
