Props: papers
Time: 12
Sample of script:
Bradley comes onstage, sits at desk at Upstage center, quietly reading through some papers
Alex, Bobbi, Kelsey & Spencer enter, come to downstage right, talking rapid fire
Spencer: Well, thing is Bradley said we have to slow down, think this thing through, look at all sides before jumping into this deal.
Kelsey: What are you saying Spencer, slow down is not an option in my life, I have a million things on the go and there’s like zero chance I can waste time chewing through this thing.
Alex: I’m with you Kelsey, time is money and time is something I simply don’t have!
Bobbi: Where is Bradley coming from on this? I mean what gives him the right to drag his heels on this?
Spencer: Well Bobbi, I guess the fact that he is the boss might give him some rights, but still I’m with you guys on this! . . . Us guys in Team Green need to push forward ‘cause we all know that Team Red won’t be sitting back! . . . And shhhh! Keep your voices down, here comes Team Red now!
Team Green freezes
Dallas, Hudson, Reed & Mackenzie enter, come to downstage left, talking rapid fire
Dallas: Way I look at it if we just push really hard on the new ideas and spend every minute on introducing those real quick.
Hudson: Well, Dallas, I am with you on the need to push hard, but we can’t just bail out on the old tried and true either. . . . Face it, that’s what brought us to where we are at. I think we need to amp up our efforts on the core components in our offering!
Reed: Hold on there Hudson, you too Dallas! . . . We are like going nowhere if we take our foot off the accelerator on either of those! . . . I say we push both to the Max!
Mackenzie: Reed, you are dreaming big time! . . . We have limited resources, limited talents, limited time! . . . Face it, we can’t be all things and we can’t overplay it or we lose it all!
Chet comes on stage
Hudson: Look guys, this is getting us nowhere fast! . . . What we need to do is . . .
Chet: Hidey ho pilgrims! How’s life in your guy’s world?
Spencer: Chet, can’t you see that we in Team Green are busy?
Reed: Yes Chet, and we in Team Red are not only busy but highly productive!
Alex: Highly productive you say Reed? . . . The closest to productive you guys in Team Red have ever come is reading about the advances us guys in Team Green have achieved!
Mackenzie: You Red people can for sure talk the talk, too bad you can’t walk the walk!
Chet: You guys in Team Red can’t walk? . . . Wow, that is for sure sad, maybe if you were to get little wheels on your shoes and just kinda like glide out, one foot after the other you would . . .
Dallas: No Chet! . . . Mackenzie was just hyperbolizing . . .
Chet: Sorry about that Mackenzie, that sounds real painful!
Bobbie: Chet! . . . Hyperbolizing means when you . . .
Chet, points offstage:
Oh look, a squirrel!
Kelsey: Chet do you know how . . how . . frustrating you are?
Chet, thinks: How, how, frustrating you are? . . . Let’s see . . country and western song right? . .
(clears throat, sings badly off key)
How, how frustrating you are.
When I saw you from afar
Up in the sky was a star
That was . . .
All: Chet! . . .
Chet: Love my singing doncha? . . Move over Johnny Cash!
