I wrote it around this time last year for the last World Mental Health Day on October 10th.
(If you're interested in seeing the the article I used to start off the sketch, you can find it here:
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/notes/2012/mental_health_day_20121009/en/)
Abbott:
Well, let's see here. Ah, yes - The World Health Organisation or WHO said they calling
for an end to the stigmatization of depression and other mental disorders and
for better access to treatment for all people who need it.
Costello:
That's an interesting thing to find out.
Abbott: I
say WHO said this as part of World Mental Health Day
Costello:
Are you serious?
Abbott:
What.
Costello:
You just read the article?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello:
And you don't know the company’s name?
Abbott: Well
I should.
Costello:
Well then who said it?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: I
mean the company's name.
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
The one that said it.
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
The organisation.
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
The people that...
Abbott: WHO
said it!
Costello:
I'm asking YOU who said it.
Abbott:
That's the company's name.
Costello:
That's who's name?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello:
Well go ahead and tell me.
Abbott:
That's it.
Costello:
That's who?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Costello:
Look, you know which company said it?
Abbott:
Certainly.
Costello:
Who was it?
Abbott:
That's right.
Costello:
When you said that a company had made that announcement, who said it?
Abbott: They
sure did.
Costello:
All I'm trying to find out is the company’s name that said it.
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
The company that said...
Abbott:
That's it.
Costello:
Who said it...
Abbott: They
did, every word. And they should know – they were founded in 1948.
Costello:
Who was?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Abbott:
What's wrong with that?
Costello:
Look, all I wanna know is when you said a company had made that announcement on
World Mental Health day, how was the company’s name written?
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
The company.
Abbott: WHO.
Costello:
How was it writ...
Abbott:
That's how they wrote it.
Costello:
Who?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Costello:
All I'm trying to find out is what's the company’s name that said it.
Abbott: No.
WHAT is nothing to do with it.
Costello:
I'm not asking who's nothing to do with it.
Abbott:
WHO’s the one that said it.
Costello:
Make up your mind!
Abbott:
Well, don't change the subject.
Costello:
I'm not changing nothing!
Abbott: Take
it easy, buddy.
Costello:
I'm only asking you, who's the company that said it?
Abbott:
That's right.
Costello:
Ok.
Abbott: All
right.
Admittedly it's not as long as the original which goes on to mention people being on second, third, pitching etc which doesn't quite fit in with the sketch.
