ICE CREAM van's jingle chimed piercingly, as it parked up alongside the sidewalk. Frenzied kids race one another from their doorsteps. They all want to be served some treats FIRST. Justin and his chums on the bench, are precipitously engulfed with nostalgia. They savor the ambrosial aspects of the 1990's.
JUSTIN
I just love the jingle. Go and get me some spearmints, please
STEFANI
The 90's are back. GO AND GET IT YOURSELF! while you are at it, get me the ice cream with the bubble gum in the bottom of the cone
KATE
Sorry, I'm not moving a muscle today. Not even for ice cream. Besides, nowadays, it's cheaper to get ice cream at ASDA
JUSTIN
True, but you wont find Popeye there

No drugs, cigarettes or retired TV presenter on this van, only delightful ice-cream. So come on kids. What would you like?
I was first. I should be served first
Go ahead then
Thanks, but I have to wait. My dad is still searching for his wallet.

Hey Charlie, you missed the ice cream van yesterday. Didn't you hear the jingle
I did. I missed it because I believed my parents when they say the van driver was a kids' kidnapper. I discovered they just didn't have any money to buy me ice cream. UGH! They can afford bubble gum today. YEAH!
Great..There was an accident.
Really!
Yea. The ice cream van mistakenly ran over a child's hand

JUSTIN
LOOK on those kids, still sitting on their doorsteps.
KATE
(quips)
Apparently, they have no one to buy them ice cream. Their parents should drive ice cream vans, then they would get free ice cream
STEFANI
That suck!.....My parents used to tell me that the ice cream man's jingle meant that he sold off all the icecream...That suck! Hmmm. I feel for some cider lolly or chocolate sauce and nuts
.................................................................................
£5 worth of ice cream, please.
ICE CREAM WOMAN
Sure. Hold the bowl properly before you spill the ice cream raspberry sauce and flakes
Thank you. May I have that broken cornet please?

JUSTIN
Lord Alan sugar is the owner of the icecream van, I suppose
KATE
I wouldn't be surprised.. He can be as cold as ice

JUSTIN
Have you noticed it's mostly 14 year olds in the queue?
STEFANI
Yes...I hope the driver was properly vetted
