Setting the Scene
It’s the end of the day; family guy has finished for the day, and is heading home. Our Asshole is sitting in the pub having just failed to fix the latest part of the current job. He’s been talking to a couple of the lads in the pub about doing some casual work, but they don’t seem interested. Our Asshole has assumed that this is because they’re lazy; but it’s because they’re actually fairly comfortable in their jobs as actors, and don’t really need the extra money. The only reason they’re in the pub on a Thursday afternoon is that rehearsals have finished for the week, and the show opens tomorrow.
Our family guy arrives at home, and puts the car away in the garage; he’s just locking the garage up when his sister arrives to stay for the weekend. She’s brought along her baby daughter, but not her husband. They chat for a while and go inside; neither notices that she’s dropped her bag.
Our Asshole has noticed however, he wanders across the road and picks it up; he has a good look through the bag and picks out £100 from her purse. When panicked noises start coming from indoors he walks a little distance away, then starts walking back, acting as if he’s inspecting all the houses. When our family man’s sister appears, he pretends to notice her a little late. He rushes over to ask her about the bag. He says that he saw someone going through it round the corner, and was sure they’d taken it. He pretends they ran away when he challenged them.
Our sister is thankful, but heartbroken when she realises the money is missing. Our asshole returns to the pub to relax and congratulate himself; he eventually starts buying rounds.
A few people in the corner noticed the entire episode unfold, and they’re whispering to a few slightly more well built people about what’s happened.
A man walks into the bar, stares incredulous at our asshole, and walks to the back of the bar.
