New! Fun! Bite-Size!
Cast:
Cedric
Bill
Setting: Bare stage
(Lights up on Bill, standing center stage, enter Cedric, excited)
Cedric: Hey, Bill! Check this out!! It's amazing!
(pulls small shiny object from his pocket)
Bill: Wow!
C: Cool, huh?
B: Yeah!
C: I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
B: I bet!
C: Just sitting there.
B: Yeah?
C: I had to buy one.
B: Sure.
C: I can't believe they finally are able to make them like this!
B: No kidding.
C: I mean it's, like, bite-sized or something.
B: Looks like it.
C: Go ahead try it out!
B: Really?
C: Yeah, yeah! Go ahead!
(stepping toward the audience)
C: I mean, there I was, and I had heard that they were working on something like this for a while, but I never thought they'd be able to pull it off.
(B is examining the object)
C: I mean, I wasn't expecting it anytime soon; at least not this decade. But, you know, there it was!
(B puts the object in his mouth, starts chewing)
C: And I know I probably should have waited; I mean, money isn't exactly weighting me down at the moment, and I'm sure it will be under one thousand bucks in just a couple months, but I couldn't resist.
(B swallows hard)
C: And, I just... well, I'm an early adopter of things like that... and I thought, "Wow! Here it is! The world's smallest large-screen TV!" A one inch screen! Absolutely portable. It's big-screen clarity wherever I want to go from now on!
(B is backing up at this time)
C: (turning around) With full surround sound, and... what'd you think, Bill? Pretty remarkable, huh?
B: (very nervous) I... I... thought... it... it looked like... a chocolate...
C: (laughing) No, brand-new, fun, miniature big-screen televison...
B: Yeah... not a chocolate.
C: (laughing more) No, definitely not a chocolate.
B: Right... ummm...
C: Here, give it back. I have to show the guys at Benny's.
B: Can I give it back... using the installment plan?
C: What?
B: I... uhhh... I, well... uhhh... I... (darts offstage)
C: (running after) Bill!
(lights out)
(end)
