You're line of "I'm The Saint, and I forgot my socks" just didn't work well into the story.
True, a "Vox Pops" style segment just didn't feel right in the bullpen. But, for those who enjoy "extras" type material, here's what we had cooked up:
CUT TO:
EXT. LONDON STREET - MORNING
An elderly woman stands before the camera, visibly unsteady, a bottle of unidentified liquor clenched in her gnarled fist.
ELDERLY WOMAN
I told that CaptainWacky, I sez -- Stop rappin' at my door! So 'e peed in a bottle, 'e did,
an' 'e 'ands it to me and dances away 'round the corner!
She takes a rather heroic drink from the bottle.
ELDERLY WOMAN
'oo knew 'is pee is 120-proof, I ask yer!
CUT TO:
EXT. TOTTENHAM ROAD - MOMENTS LATER
The Saint stands in a "parade rest" posture wearing an obviously expensive business suit and a clear plastic salad bowl inverted on his head.
THE SAINT
I'm The Saint, and I have forgotten my socks!
A redheaded woman in her late 20s runs into frame and knocks the salad bowl off The Saint's head, then flashes her breasts at the camera.
THE SAINT
Well, that was rather unexpected.
