Builder and Gardener
[BUILDER & GARDENER BOTH SITTING DOWN HAVING A TEA BREAK]
GARDENER: Agh, it’s really good to sit down, my back’s killing me.
BUILDER: Yeah, lovely cup of tea.
GARDENER: How long have we been working on this job now?
BUILDER: Now, let me see if I can remember.
GARDENER: I know, it was round about your birthday
BUILDER: Yeah, that’s right, I started removing all the old plaster from the walls two weeks before my birthday, so that must be four months ago.
GARDENER: Four months of doing the garden, well no, not garden but jungle more like!
BUILDER: Yeah, you had to cut your way into it, bit by bit. All those terrible brambles!
GARDENER: Oh, those wild roses were even worse than the brambles. All my hands, arms and legs got ripped to pieces!
BUILDER: By the time you had cleared it all and had those massive bonfires, I had replaced all those rotten window frames and was hanging all the new doors.
GARDENER: Then I went on to relaying all the paving stones – must have been miles of pathways!
[ENTER OWNER]
OWNER: I don’t know where those two workmen have gone. [LOOK AROUND]
Nothing ever seems to get done around here. [SHAKE HEAD]
The garden is still the same as it always has been, [SPREAD HANDS] it’s so depressing! [PAUSE]
And the house hasn’t changed.
BUILDER & GARDENER: [LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN DISBELIEF. SHAKE HEAD]
OWNER: The place is such a tip! [HOLD HEAD] It’s pointless having two workmen if nothing ever gets done! [WALK UP & DOWN] The house and gardens are still all tumbledown and neglected. [PAUSE] Oh I don’t know, I give up! [WALK AWAY]
BUILDER: [SARCASTIC] Well that was encouraging! [PAT GARDENER ON THE BACK] Well done mate for all your hard work!
GARDENER [SARCASTIC] Yes it was really worth having my hands, arms and legs ripped to pieces! [PAT BUILDER ON THE BACK] Well done mate for all your hard work!
BUILDER & GARDENER: [BOTH STAND UP. SHAKE HEADS & WALK OFF]
THE END
