[Punch turns around dropping his end. The coffin falls taking Joey with it. From the other side of the booth rises, slowly, the Devil.

Punch: Who are you? You look like you’ve been in the sun a bit long.

Devil: I am the devil. I have come up here because I have been told there is someone here who has been very, very naughty. And the name of that person is … oh I seem to have forgotten. Let me think. The name of that person is … um … oh that’s right Mr Punch. [The pauses here are to allow for audience interjection.] Are you Mr Punch?

Punch: Me? No I’m not Mr Punch.

Devil: Oh yes you are. This way Mr Punch, you are coming with me. [He prods Punch with his fork. Mr Punch runs to the other side of the booth. The Devil chases him prodding Punch’s behind with his fork.]

Punch: Ouch, ouch! You can’t do that, Mr Punch your good friend.
[The devil prods Punch extra hard and Punch disappears below. The Devil turns to the audience.]

Devil: [Laughing] That will teach him for being so naughty. Now is there anybody else while I’m here? [Motions to the audience. Meanwhile Punch comes up behind him holding his stick with which he hits the Devil. A fight ensues with each exchanging blows. Eventually the devil looses his fork and runs away. Punch throws away his stick and dances about clapping.]

Punch: I’ve scared off the Devil himself.

[Suddenly he stops] What’s that I hear? Someone’s coming. The Devil’s coming back I’d better get going. Goodbye everybody! Bye bye! [exits waving]

[Out comes Joey the clown, looking for Mr Punch]

Joey: Has Mr Punch gone? Oh dear. Well that must be the end of our show. I hope you have all enjoyed it? If you’ve had fun then we’ve had fun too.
Goodbye everyone! Goodbye! [exits waving]
