Sunflower Valley – The washing machine

Man in suit rings at door. Man in robes opens the door after one minute or so.

- Yes, hi?

- Hello sir, my name is Charlie and I would like to talk to you about our great offer.

- What company?

- Sorry?

- What company you work for lad?

- Gulvin and Thomson.

- The one that makes them washing machines?

- Well no, but really close.

- Close to washing machines?

- The name, sir. The name.

- Right, so how may I help?

- Well I just started to say that we have this great deal.

- Bout washing machines? I got them. Two even.

- I see, but…

- One for my cousin, she lives here sometimes, doesn’t like clothes to mix in, if you know what I mean.

- I see.

- And the other one is for Clara.

- Clare being…

- My wife.

- Yes, lovely, but…

- They wash a lot.

- I’m not here because of the washing machine.

- You’re not?

- No, see I got this deal about…

- Why you tell me you’re from Thomson if you’re not seeling them washing machines?

- Sir, I’m not even sure Thomson sells washing machines.

- Really bad training your got at your company.

- No sir, you see…

- I mean when I was actually working, they trained us well.

- Right but..

- I was conducting a locomotive.

- Amazing, but…

- It was a hard job, just sitting and stopping, and then starting the old metal.

- If you would allow me to tell you…

- Sometimes we pulled it with no real reason.

- Pulled it?

- Yes, the blow.

- Blow?

- That thing that gives out sound when the train comes.

- Yes?

- What, you’ve never been near a train station?

- I was but…

- So you must have heard it.

- I’m sure sir, but if you would allow me to finish one sentence so I could tell you about the deal then…

- Listen here, I just had me coffee in the morning, can’t open my eyes without, and you’re keeping me here.

- But…

- I got no time for you now, come back later.

- But sir!

The man in the robe slammed the door. The man in the suit was disappointed.
