A salesman, TONY, is selling MBNA credit cards in the mall behind a stall. Behind him, exhibition display boards with micro-lighting show posters of the credit card and the strap-line, ’The Gateway To A Better Life,’ and a cheesy picture of a perfect, smiling family.
Two BLONDES in hot-pants and tight-fitting T-shirts with ‘Get A Better Life’ emblazoned on them are handing out leaflets, smiling cheesy grins. TONY is doing a job on BOB, whom we saw in The One About The Longbow. He is a man-mountain with cropped hair, T-shirt, trainers, track-suit and tattoos. A big gold chain around his tree-trunk neck, big gold rings on his fat fingers.
TONY
Nought per cent interest on balance transfers and nought
per cent on purchases for nine months. Interested?
BOB
Not really.
TONY
Five hundred Nectar points for free.
BOB
Nah, you’re alright mate.
TONY
25% discount on the current cost of your
car insurance guaranteed if you switch?
BOB
Nah.
TONY
Oh ye of little faith, you offer people something
for nothing, and they immediately think you’re
trying to trick them.
BOB
Nothing to do with religion, mate. I just
don't want a credit card. That's all.
