Bonkers
A new comedy by ANITA BRONSON
Sylvia's sister, Kitty, is a hypochondriac. Her boy-friend, Aeron, has just left her and she is threatening to come and stay with Sylvia and Ted. Ted wants to avoid her at all costs.
' Hey, tell her I'm on holiday, will you? I'm not geared for emergencies. No, on second thoughts, don't tell her I'm on holiday. Say I'm not on holiday, and that the car is at the office. Oh, and I'm there with the car. Oh no, wait a minute. I answered the phone. What am I doing home at this time of the morning, if I'm not on holiday? I'm ill. I'm ill. Tell her I'm ill. Syl, tell her I'm ill, okay? '
