Damn. Am I the only one to have missed it? I think it should be reinstated BY LAW.

bumping guys> the oddball thread leaver is back

INT. DEPARTMENT STORE – DAY

A YOUNG WOMAN BROWSES THROUGH A SERIES OF WOMEN’S CLOTHES.

SHE TAKES A SHIFTY LOOK OVER HER SHOULDER, BEFORE STARTING TO SNEAK AN EXPENSIVE TOP UNDER HER COAT. A MALE HAND LANDS ON HER SHOULDER.

BEHIND HER IS A SUITED MALE SHOP ASSISTANT.

SHOP ASSISTANT
(Stern)
Can I help you...
(Looks her up and down)
Madam?

THE YOUNG WOMAN’S FACE FALLS – HER NUMBER’S UP...

EXT. BEHIND DEPARTMENT STORE – DAY

THE YOUNG WOMAN BREATHLESSLY RUNS AROUND THE CORNER. SHE CHECKS THE COAST IS CLEAR BEFORE STRUGGLING TO GET HER BREATH BACK.

THE SLIGHTLY RUFFLED SHOP ASSISTANT ABRUPTLY APPEARS BEHIND HER AGAIN.

THEY STARE AT EACH OTHER. BEAT.

HE OPENS HIS SUIT JACKET TO REVEAL THE TOP SHE TRIED TO STEAL PARTIALLY TUCKED INTO HIS TROUSERS. HE START TO PULL IT OUT AND MORE AND MORE WOMEN’S CLOTHING FOLLOWS ALL TIED TOGETHER – MAGICIAN-STYLE.

FINALLY THE SHOW STOPS AND HE HANDS HER THE PILE OF CLOTHES.

YOUNG WOMAN
Errr... Thanks.

SHOP ASSISTANT
Not a problem. Glad to help.

HE GRINS SUPERFICIALLY, STRAIGHTENS HIS TIE, BEFORE MARCHING BACK TO WORK.

SHE STANDS THERE CONFUSED, STRUGGLING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE CLOTHES.

Right this competition is closed! Don't enter a sketch beyond this point.
