ENTER CHUCK THE ROBBER Chuck: Oh dear, an inhabitant ahead. Sam: Who are you? Chuck: Never mind, continue your conversation with the fridge. Sam: What? Chuck: You know, I'm quite thirsty. Are you going to get something or are you just trying to cool the room? Chuck: Ah, this is nice. Have to get the bag out for this one. Sam: Hey! That's my Mom's prized Lumberjack Award. Chuck: Mmm, good milk. Yes, very good. Sam: What you doing in that draw? Chuck: Searching… Sam: Get out of there! Chuck: Why look, is this you? Sam: Yes, when I was nine. Listen, I don't know who you are. You can't stay here! Chuck: I won't be long. Sam: Put that stuff down. Chuck: Let an honest man do his job in peace. Sam: Honest? Chuck: Have I lied? Sam: You're stealing, you thief! Chuck: I prefer the term Repossession Engineer. Sam: I'm calling the police; look, they're on the line. Sam: I need help fast, there is an intruder in my kitchen. Chuck: When you are finished may I have a word? Sam: My address is 104 Hippo Dr. The burglar wants to say something. Chuck: Who is this? Barney! It's Chuck, old buddy. Are we still on for Go Fish Thursday? Chuck: Of course I'll bring the doughnuts. Chuck: This boy? Yes, he's quite annoying. No, no, I don't need any help. See you Thursday. Sam: I don't believe this is happening. Chuck: Makes my work easier, that does. Sam: I'll be right back, you better be gone before I return. Chuck: Any idea how much this beautiful set of dishes is worth? Sam: Look here, this gun is loaded. Get out! Chuck: What an amazing specimen! This will make a fine addition to my rifle collection. Sam: Well, you should know I took karate lessons. You're lucky I've held back until now… Chuck: When I am done in the kitchen you will have to give me a tour of the house, you must have more treasures where this comes from. Sam: I'm a killing machine! Chuck: Why, that's not a very safe place for all this money. Sam: I give up, I can't take this! Chuck: You take? I'm doing the work here. Sam: You can have it, just stay away from me! EXIT SAM |
