CHIPS

(Mostly a visual sketch)

(One Man James  - One Woman Jennifer )

SCENE: 1   (James is alone in evening dress - suave smart - well spoken. He is playing roulette at a casino table. The camera follows a couple of throws of the dice with James winning and collecting the  gaming chips.

JAMES:       (picking up his cigarettes from the table and getting up speaking to

                  the manager as he does so)

                        So! I live another day Oliver. (Hands Manager gaming chips)

                  Keep these safe for me okay!

SCENE 2:     (next evening in a Restaurant  James and Jennifer are dressed up for

                 dinner - both looking affluent. They have just finished eating the remains

                 of the meal are on the table.

                 Jennifer gets out her compact and re-touches her lipstick.

                 James pays the bill with his credit card).

JAMES:       Thank you my man - compliments to the chef.

                (James and Jennifer leave the restaurant arm in arm and the camera

                 follows them out into the street. They walk along a few more yards and

                 James notices the flashing lights of a Casino and his eyes light up(Not

                literally - although it might be funny!) The camera hones into the word

                CASINO - the audience made aware but Jennifer is not.

JAMES:      (Guiding Jennifer by the arm towards the Casino and in a very affluent

                voice)

                 Come on Jennifer old girl. How about ten pounds worth of chips?

JENNIFER    (holding her stomach and surprisingly in a very common voice)

                  Gaw'd blimey James...couldn't eat that many chips in one go...

                        anyway, I'm stuffed, I've only just 'ad me dinner!
