Ring Ring
| Props: | 'telephone' made from 2 red solo cups, connected by ~8 pencil balloons tied in a chain |
|---|---|
| Notes: | the balloon chain should have enough tension to snap back at radio without being too tight. look up 'raspberry' or 'bronx cheer' for background on the pun. |
[Radio:] (coming back up onto the stage) Ashes! Ashes! You may have an iPad, but I got a new phone!
[Ashes:] Really? Is it the new iPhone?
[Radio:] No.
[Ashes:] Oh, then it's an Android phone. You know, 'Droid!'
[Radio:] (Mimicing Obi Wan Kenobi) These are not the droids your are looking for. No, it's even better than a Droid!
[Ashes:] Better than a droid? Well then, what kind of phone is it?
[Radio:] It's my Pffffft phone.
[Ashes:] A Pffffft phone?
[Radio:] A Pffffft phone.
[Ashes:] A Pffffft phone?
[Radio:] You know, a Pffffft phone - A Raspberry! It's one level better than a Blackberry.
Radio hands Ashes one end of the 'telephone.
[Radio:] Want to see how it works? [Ashes:] (looks the phone over closely) I want to see IF it works. [Radio:] Here, you take this end and stand over there. I'll go over there and say 'Ring, Ring, It's for you' and you say 'Let me have it.' [Ashes:] OK.Radio walks across the stage and stretches the ballons between the cups
[Radio:] Ring, Ring. It's for you. [Ashes:] (walks back towards Radio) Hey, Radio, your phone is ringing! [Radio:] No, no, no. You stay over there, I stay over here. I say 'Ring, Ring. It's for you.' And you say 'Let me have it.' [Ashes:] Oh, OK. Gotcha.Radio stretches the balloons again
[Radio:] Ring, Ring. It's for you. [Ashes:] Hey Radio, we need to get you a better ring tone. [Radio:] (getting madder) No, no, no! I say 'Ring, Ring. It's for you.' You say 'Let Me Have It.' [Ashes:] OK, gotcha.Radio stretches the balloons again
[Radio:] Ring, Ring. It's for you. [Ashes:] (hesitates a moment like he's trying to remember) What was I supposed to say? [Radio:] (exasperated) Let Me Have It! [Ashes:] OK...Ashes lets go of his end of the 'telephone' and it snaps back and hits Radio. Radio starts to chase Ashes.
[Ashes:] (points behind Radio) Squirrel!Radio is distracted and looks back. as both exit the stage
