Chris:
Thank you for letting me audition.
Mr. Brooks:
Don’t worry. How good of an actor are you?
Mr. Twain:
Wait, stop. I’ll ask the questions. So how good of an actor are you?
Chris:
I think I can really be good. I mean great! I will practice so hard like you
wouldn’t believe.
Mr. Twain:
Are you good at improv?
Chris:
Excellent!
Mr. Twain:
It says here you’re going into medicine and stand up comedy.
Chris:
I do like medicine, but I love acting even more, especially making other people
laugh.
Mr. Twain:
I see.
Chris:
I just do acting and stuff just to help me get through school, the rest comes in
student loans and grants. But I really like being in front of people.
Mr. Twain:
I think you’re going to be just the perfect fit for our program.
(Lights out while the 4 actors go to where the suits are.)
Mr. Twain is in front of the group talking to the 4 actors. Mr. Suller, Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Jacobs are watching on the side.
Mr. Twain:
Ok, here’s how this works. You acting job is sort of a reality show gig.
Greg:
So how often do we vote someone off?
(sides cont'd)
Mr. Twain:
No, no actually you can’t Greg. You see, you ran as the pro-family candidate.
You wanted to close down gay bars and businesses. So now what? Great! You’ve
just pissed away conservative voters, but now some how you’re going to get gay
voter? I don’t think it’s going to work that way. Besides which, I was going
to get conservative and gay voters to support you and Glenn. But now I don’t
even have that because Glenn decided to contradict my press release over him
being gay.
Glenn:
But I’m not gay!
Mr. Twain:
But you say and act totally gay. You are the epitome of gayness, I had it all
worked out! You’re in the French club and a member of a fraternity for Christ’s
sake. Besides, you could have pretended for a few more days anyway. But it’s
now all gone!….And you, I don’t even want to get started on you Chris, or
should I say Mike!
Chris:
I can explain!
Mr. Twain:
Oh this ought to be good!
Chris:
Remember when you said this was an acting gig? Well, I was just using my acting
name. Many actors do it. That’s all I was doing. I was acting a part.
Something I’m not. I wasn’t trying to break any rules.
Mr. Twain:
Why do you actors try to use different names?
Glenn:
I don’t know? I’ve always wondered that as well.
John:
Mr. Twain, no offense but I don’t think any one of us would have been that
great of a council member anyway. I mean, what do we know about governing a
city?
Mr. Twain:
That’s the point! I would have helped you guys every step of the way.
(In bursts Lilly upset.)
Mr. Twain:
And who do you think you are, young lady?
