Andrew walks confidently into a betting shop
Customer: Hey Andrew. What’s happening?
Andrew: Not much just thought I would spend some pocket money.
Andrew walks up to the counter where the clerk is waiting.
Clerk: How did your show go?
Andrew: Got to love a good bit of Shakespeare.
Clerk: Better than that soap?
Andrew shrugs.
Andrew: Not as well paid as that soap.
Customer: Hey why don’t you go back into television?
Andrew: Waiting for the right time.
Clerk: What can I do for you?
Andrew pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to the Clerk.
Clerk: Full spread at Exeter, Worcester and Chelmsford. Heavy day don’t you think. Sure, you wouldn’t want to place a few on now and come back before Worcester and Chelmsford start?
Andrew: No, I’ve got an interview later and I will be stuck in the green room for most of the day. Need something to watch
Clerk gives him a concerned glance it gets even more surprising when Andrew hands him a huge amount of Cash.
Clerk: I will have to lay some of these, how do you want it spread?
Andrew: Same amount on them all. I’m feeling lucky.
Clerk: I’ve got a bad feeling in my stomach.
Andrew waits while the tickets are printed. He nervously checks over at the racing on the TV. A coin shaking on his hand. Finally he nods and walks over to a fixed betting machine and begins to play.
End scene
