Sketch: Bee
A MAN AND WOMAN ARE SAT ENJOYING A DRINK IN A PUB BEER GARDEN.
A BEE STARTS ATTACKING THE WOMAN. THIS DOES NOT BOTHER THE MAN BUT THE WOMAN IS QUITE ANNOYED.
SHE GESTICULATES WILDLY BUT THIS JUST AGGRAVATES THE BEE EVEN FURTHER.
THE MAN IS STILL QUITE CALM AND RELAXED..
MAN:
Don't worry. It'll stop in a minute.
Will it?
WOMAN:
Yeah. Once it's stung you it'll drop dead to the ground.
