(MICHAEL) ... With me now is Mr Thomas Walters of West Hartlepool who is
totally invisible. Good evening, Mr Walters. (turns to empty chair)
|
|
Walters
|
(ERIC) (off-screen) Over here, Hughie.
|
|
Compère turns to find a boringly dressed man sitting by him.
|
|
Compère
|
Mr Walters, are you sure you're invisible?
|
|
Walters
|
Oh yes, most certainly.
|
|
Compère
|
Well, Mr Walters, what's it like being invisible?
|
|
Walters
|
(very slowly and boringly) Well, for a start, at the office where I
work I can be sitting at my desk all day and the others totally ignore me.
At home, even though we are in the same room, my wife does not speak to me
for hours, people pass me by in the street without a glance in my
direction, and I can walk into a room without...
|
|
Compère
|
Well, whilst we've got interesting people, we met Mr Oliver Cavendish
who...
|
|
Walters
|
(droning on) ...Even now you yourself, you do hardly notice me...
|
|
Compère
|
Mr Oliver Cavendish of Leicester, who claims to be able to recite the
entire Bible in one second, whilst being struck on the head with a large
axe. Ha, ha, wow. We've since discovered that he was a fraud, yes a
fraud, he did not in fact recite the entire Bible, he merely recited the
first two words, `In the...' before his death.
