Script:

Helen: Where you been Betty - I haven't seen you for weeks.

Betty: I've been in the jail, so I have.

Helen: Jail?

Betty: Yeah - four weeks in the bloody jail.

Helen: Your kidding!

Betty: No - some people got annoyed at the name I gave my baby.

Helen: Away! Did you call him Muhammad and get those Mosklims annoyed.

Betty: No - I know better than to call him Muhammad.

Helen: Well did you call him Jesus and get the Pope all upset?

Betty: Don't be stupid!

Helen: Was it Abraham? Did you go and upset all your Jewish friends.

Betty: No! I wouldn't do that.

Helen: Well what did you call the wee soul then?

Betty: Inra . . . Inra-Cludgie

Helen: Inra! - Who did that offend - Church of Scotland? Hindus? Buddhists? Sikhs? Chinese Universists? Scientologists?

Betty: No! I didn't offend any religious groups.

Helen: So why did you get bunged up in prison for calling the baby Inra?

Betty: Cos it's such a shite name.

Helen: True . . . good point.
