SKIT # 1

Scene opens, Father sits at desk with his papers and computer. Rhonda is sitting, chin in hand, obviously unhappy. Paula and Norma enter books in hand.

Paula Hi Rhonda, how are you?

Norma Congratulations, celebrity!

Rhonda What do you mean, ‘celebrity’?

Paula Sure, she acts as if she doesn’t know what we are talking about. Really nothing too much I suppose! Her dad has just been on TV, being presented with the ‘Citizen of the Year’ award, that’s all.

Norma Ya, that was great. You must have been awfully proud, especially when he thanked each of his family by name. By the way, he must have been really nervous though, ’cause when he came to you, he called you ‘Florence’.

Paula How’s he supposed to know what to call me? We hardly ever talk to each other!

Norma Rhonda you are exaggerating! By the way, where is your Dad, I’d like to congratulate him.

Rhonda (pointing toward Father) Working at his computer right over there.

Norma: Where? I can’t see him.

Rhonda: You have to look hard to see him. See over there, over the mountain of money, around the bend in the golf course, just left of the cocktail party.

Paula Rhonda, really, you are in a bad mood. Come on, let’s go over and talk.

Norma Hi, Mr. Henderson, congratulations on winning the award!

Father Oh, hi children. Umm – yes – er – thanks – oh please do be careful you almost knocked over my Blue chip IT & T shares. By the way, did you know they closed out at $99.35 on the NYSE yesterday? Florence, didn’t I tell your mother that getting our hands on these shares was just about the best thing that ever happened to us?
