EXT. COUNTRY LANE. DAY. A bus pulls up at a stop and Sidney gets off, he is carrying two jars of honey. He starts to walk down the road when a car pulls beside him. It is a “throaty” fast car. Driving it is Leonard and beside him is Harold. LEONARD Sidney! Get in, we’ll give you a lift. SIDNEY What the hell is this? LEONARD Not bad eh? SIDNEY It’s lovely, I presume you have just stolen it? HAROLD and LEONARD grin like naughty children. HAROLD Get in Sid, it goes like the bloody clappers. SIDNEY I’m sure it does. Is this your get away car? LEONARD Yeah. SIDNEY So you’re already on your way to a heist then? LEONARD Still in the planning stage. SIDNEY And where are you going to hide it in the meantime? Under your bed Harold? HAROLD Dorothy didn’t believe I could steal a car, so she sent me out to prove myself. SIDNEY Has it got false number plates? LEONARD No. SIDNEY I’m glad to see you’re wearing gloves. HAROLD We didn’t want to leave fingerprints SIDNEY Good thinking Harold, Shame your hair is falling out. That means your DNA will be over the head rest. HAROLD and LEONARD are suddenly no longer smiling. SIDNEY (Contd) Thank you, but I don’t think I’ll get in and if I were you, I’d get out. As they are getting out of the car, two police cars come screaming round the corner as if in hot pursuit of a stolen car. They stop and the Policemen jump out. SIDNEY. Back, back in the car quick. LEONARD Are you sure? SIDNEY Just do as I say. Harold gets in the front passenger seat, Sidney pushes Leonard into the back, Sidney climbs in as well The POLICEMAN approaches them. POLICEMAN Good afternoon gentlemen. SIDNEY Good afternoon Officer A moment as we establish Sidney, Leonard and Harold sitting blankly waiting. POLICEMAN Can I ask what you’re doing? SIDNEY We’re waiting for our driver. POLICEMAN Where is he? SIDNEY That’s what we’d like to know, where is he? We can’t sit here all day can we? POLICEMAN Please would you be so kind as to get out of the vehicle. SIDNEY No, sorry no can do. POLICEMAN Get out of the vehicle. SIDNEY It’s our cab, go and find your own cab, we got here first, didn’t we lads. HAROLD Yeah, it’s our cab. POLICEMAN Come on, get out, out! Sidney, Leonard and Harold get out of the car. POLICEMAN Are you aware that this is a stolen vehicle? SIDNEY It’s a mini-cab, what do you expect? We’re not bothered, but thank you for telling us. Sidney, Leonard and Harold start to climb back in the car. POLICEMAN Hold up, hold up, what are you doing? SIDNEY Is there a problem? POLICEMAN You can’t travel in this vehicle. SIDENY We’ve got to be back for tea. He needs his tablets. LEONARD I need my tablets. POLICEMAN Did you not see the driver? They all shake their heads Did you see anyone? They shake their heads again. You just happened upon this abandoned vehicle and climbed in? SIDNEY Are you trying to tell us this isn’t our mini-cab? POLICEMAN That is correct. SIDNEY Can you drive us home? HAROLD Bingo starts in ten minutes. POLICEMAN We’re not community transport, no. We have things to do. Go on get off back to your bingo. Leonard, Sidney and Harold walk slowly away from the Policeman, with relief. EXT. MOUNTAIN LODGE. DAY. Sidney, Leonard and Harold slowly walk to towards the house. They are all very animated and are obviously reliving their recent scrape with the law. But their joy is short lived. They notice an ambulance outside the front of the house. It’s a private ambulance and VICTOR is being ushered into the back of it. They go over and say goodbye to him. INT. MOUNTAIN LODGE RECEPTION AREA – DAY. Rebecca is on the desk, Sidney goes over to her and hands her an envelope. SIDNEY So Victors gone. Who’ll be next? REBECCA (looks in envelope) Money! Thanks for that…I’ve got some bad news, I couldn’t find your painting in Freda’s room, are you sure you don’t want me to report it to the Police. SIDNEY No. I’ve already seen too much of them today. REBECCA Oh but there is some good news. You’ve got a visitor.
