Scene 1b

[Stage door opens. Out come Guard and Bob]

Bob: …So, do you think it's important to provide security for your family?

Guard: My only family were killed 2 years ago by a rogue tea cosy. It's very painful. We don't talk about it.

Bob: Right then. [pause] But if you did have a family, would you think it important to provide security for them?

Guard: I guess so.

Bob: So if you were killed, your hypothetical family would need something to live off, don't you agree?

Guard: Well…yes?

Bob: So, in order to provide for your hypothetical family, you should invest in some life insurance. And, my friend, I just happen to be an insurance salesman. Walk with me now.

[Exit Guard and Bob]
