Sarah, very big girl, mid thirties, waits for next customer.
SARAH
Who's next please?
OUR CHARACTER (V.O.)
Now our Sarah here is a great girl. Married with 2 young kids, pretty much the only chance she gets to let her hair down a bit is when we go for a beer after work on Fridays.
SARAH
Who's next please?
OUR CHARACTER (V.O.)
Despite her limited opportunities to practice, Sarah can throw down more drink than a parched camel. It is official office policy never to drink in a round with Sarah. Especially if you don't want to spend all the next day in bed with one foot on the floor trying to stop the world from spinning.
SARAH
Does anybody want serving? God why do I bother?
