| Notes: | This is a classic repetition skit with a pun ending. The Scout should get increasingly frustrated with each visit. The Clerk should be polite but firm. The final staples line should be delivered deadpan. |
[Scout:] (walks in) Have any grapes?
[Clerk:] No, this is a hardware store.
[Scout:] (walks in out then back in) Have any grapes?
[Clerk:] No! If you ask for grapes one more time, I'll staple your hands to the counter.
[Scout:] (walks in out then back in) Have any staples?
[Clerk:] No.
[Scout:] (laughs) Have any grapes?
