Lights up. A few people are lining up for a barbeque. The person commandeering the barbeque hands a sausage to the person in the front of the line. BBQ: Enjoy your sausage. Today we have a special offer, would you like to upgrade to a conversion for the low low price of your soul? Person (not listening at first): Yeah yeah… wait, what? A conversion? BBQ: Yes! Join the winning team! Person: Uh, can I just have some tomato sauce? BBQ: You can have some tomato sauce, or you can have so much more. Beat. Person: Barbeque sauce? BBQ: No. Person: Onions? BBQ: Not exactly, but for today only we’re throwing in a side of forgiveness. Person: I… I… Don’t think so... BBQ (interrupting the person): And if you join in the next 30 seconds, we’ll throw in three free days at Celibacy Camp! Person: I don’t need that. I do physics! Person begins to leave. BBQ (cheerily calling after the person): Okay, you have a nice day now! In case you change your mind, we’ll be here 'til 3… or the time of reckoning… whichever comes first! Lights down. |
