| Notes: | This is a silly pun skit. The plaintiffs should look increasingly similar - they all claim to be picking up pebbles. The final reveal should be delivered with confidence. Works well with 4-8 participants. |
([Announcer] steps forward.)
[Announcer:] Court is in session, the honorable Iwanna B. Fair is presiding.
([Judge] enters and sits.)
[Judge:] You may be seated. Bring in the first plaintiff.
(A police officer brings in [Plaintiff 1], who is yelling, kicking, and screaming.)
[Plaintiff 1:] (struggling) I'm innocent, I tell you! I was just picking up pebbles on the beach...
[Judge:] (to officer) Put him aside and bring in the next plaintiff.
(The officer brings in two more plaintiffs with similar stories. Each one struggles and protests that they were just "picking up pebbles on the beach." The judge handles them in a similar way, setting them aside.)
(The skit ends when the last person is brought on stage. This person should be dressed like a girl who says in an alluring manner:)
[Last Person:] "Hi, I'm Pebbles."
(All the plaintiffs stop struggling and stare at her.)
(Freeze. Blackout.)
