| Notes: | Deadpan waiter vs. increasingly frazzled customer, ending with a surprise twist that finally gets a rise out of the waiter. Works best rapid-fire. |
(Scene: [Customer] at table. [Waiter] nearby, calm as ever.)
[Customer:] Waiter! There's a fly in my salad!
[Waiter:] Shh! If the others find out, everyone will want one!
[Customer:] Waiter! There's a fly in my alphabet soup!
[Waiter:] He's learning to spell 'buzz.'
[Customer:] Waiter! There's a fly in my Jell-O!
[Waiter:] That's just the trampoline course.
[Customer:] Waiter! Now there's a fly in my ice cream!
[Waiter:] Didn't know they were into winter sports!
[Customer:] Waiter! There's a fly in my coffee!
[Waiter:] He must need the caffeine-he's been busy tonight.
[Customer:] That's it! I'm leaving and going somewhere else. Just get me the check!
Waiter comes back with the check. Customer mimes getting his wallet out to pay.
[Customer:] Waiter! There's a fly in my wallet!
[Waiter:] That's... wait, what? There's a fly in your wallet?
(Waiter leans in, genuinely shocked for the first time.)
[Waiter:] That's never happened before!
