Construction Sketch

Anecdote

I was walking back to my car past the construction site where the university's new car park is going up when I came across what in the 1970s would have been a sketch from a TV comedy show.

EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE -- DAY

MAN1 drills into a concrete wall, his weapon of destruction powered by a LOUD portable generator.

MAN2 strides up, waving a pair of ear defenders.

                        MAN2
                (shouts)
        Put these on.

                        MAN1
        What?

                        MAN2
                (louder)
        Put these on!

                        MAN1
        What?

                        MAN2
                (louder still)
        Put. These. On.

                        MAN1
        What?

MAN2 marches up to the generator and switches it off.

                        MAN2
        Put these on.

MAN1 puts them on.

                        MAN2
        Is that better?

                        MAN1
        What?

MAN2 switches the generator back on then walks off.
