At the immagration desk (a comedy in one act)

Katie: Hi how are you today!?

immigration officer (female): Can you please fill out the exact address you are staying at...

Katie: no problem! Here it is ma'am!

officer: Why are you in England

Katie: Oh, just travelling! (shoots the officer a winning smile)

officer: By yourself? You aren't meeting anybody at any point? (said in a snarky tone)

Katie: (smile faltering) Well, I am meeting my boyfriends Grandmother in York for tea...

officer: Oh, so you are going to york too! Well, then where is your boyfriend at! (picture this said VERY snarkily)

Katie: He had to work he couldn't come with me (looking very sad indeed at the prospect of a week without Nick)

officer: so why is grandmother in York?

Katie: his father is British

officer: well why is his father in America?

Katie: ummm...he's a resident alien...

officer: Don't you work???

Katie: Yeeesss, I start a new job next Monday! (maintaining a facade of cheerfulness)

officer: (pulls out a form and starts filling in data)

Katie: just since the 28th...

officer: Describe your previous and new employment in detail please...

Katie: ummm...
