Hi there, I just wanted to preface all this first, is that okay? I surely hope so! You see, I present Reader’s Theater scripts to boys, girls, kids in transition in juvenile detention at times and there are some of those times, that my own Reader’s Theater scripts are read in these facilities. -wherever they may be, I’m not saying where, when, now, if, and or but! It could be in Siberia for instance!
Soooo, in this situation (scripts) I am wanting the kids, (kids in detention) to not only act/roleplay but to possibly rap/sing as the script(s) suggest at intervals; (see the two oncoming scripts please!) It is a great exercise for kids might I say. One, two of many; I love to write for kids in detention and beyond to incorporate situations from this world we are all living in. I have Reader’s Theater scripts having to do with situations in jobs, movie theaters, banks, therapists offices, and many other types of headings; social services, old folks, animals, you name it. I’ve got the subjects because these kids need it.
Two of my most popular Reader’s Theater scripts for the kids in detention have been; “Restraining order against Chicken Marsala Restaurant” and “Clowns in the Air Airlines.” -I believe I’ve got these two scripts/stories within my Secret World Entertainment WordPress.
All these stories from situation real life, (EVEN CLOWNS IN THE AIR AIRLINES) ARE great/grand for kids/teens/youth in lock up because these are things and situations that most people may run into during their lives. My spin on things may be outlandish, but it serves as a wake up call for young kids in lock up. Hey, this world is crazy, don’t you know?!? -But these kids are smart and recognize that there is much satire in my scripts, knowing that life usually doesn’t go quite this far in the satire/outlandish; but-sometimes it does! Here we go with my two most recent situationals: First I will have-“Major Airline Interview” and after this quick/short story/rap/sing-suggestion, I will have “Bank Operations and Egg Yolks.” , another quick/short story/rap/sing-suggestion-Enjoy!
MAJOR AIRLINE INTERVIEW
HIRING MANAGER: So why do you want to be a flight attendant?
APPLICANT: Well, I’ve always wanted to work in the airline industry. I’m good with customers and serving them soda, coffee, water, pretzels and offering a choice of meals for a certain price. But most of all, I think I can really improve on the overall experience as well.
HIRING MANAGER: And how would you go the extra mile with this?
APPLICANT: Well, I think I can build extra room within the airplane and I would like to install a hot tub and swimming pool on top of the plane.
HIRING MANAGER: Um, hold on a moment.
APPLICANT: Back inside the plane, I can direct the building of a dance floor and work as the D.J. myself. I’m a great D.J.
HIRING MANAGER: Whoa, whoa! Just a minute please.
APPLICANT: One minute? Okay! One;
(RAP/SING) I’m the best D.J. this side of Arizona, no one’s got anything on me, you gotta believe me!
Two, for Christmas dinner the I’m making gravy for the tators, stuffing and Turkey and that will need a roux!
Three, I’m the best D.J. this side of Arizona including the West and East coast don’t ya see!
HIRING MANAGER: Hey, hey, hey! Stop! This is an interview, not a night club. Besides, airplanes don’t have D.J.’s! And your insane idea for a pool and hot tub on top of the plane is-
APPLICANT: Absolutely the best idea in the known universe!
HIRING MANAGER: Your idea for a swimming pool and hot tub on top of a plane is illogical, ridiculous, nonsensical!
APPLICANT: That’s a lot of words! I didn’t finish my D.J. rap for you!
(RAP/SING) Four! When I’m the D.J. on the plane, passengers gonna beg for more!
HIRING MANAGER: This is an interview for a flight attendant, not an engineer or D.J.! As far as your engineering skills or basic grasp of physics, you need to go back to school! Do you know what would happen to the water in the hot tub and pool on top of the plane during take off alone?
APPLICANT: Yes, my career would take off!
(RAP/SING) Five, I’m not the beehive mentality. I stand alone! Do you understand this Mr. Hiring Manager or do I gotta rap some more to get through to your thick head? If the answer is yes, then you need to go to bed!
HIRING MANAGER: Your head is too big for this job. You obviously want to be some kind of rap superstar-president-chancellor of the planet.
APPLICANT: (RAP/SING) Rap-Superstar-President-Chancellor of the planet, that sounds like a good bet!
HIRING MANAGER: Don’t you know that water is going to splash out of the swimming pool and hot tub during take off alone? Don’t you know that even if you managed to get water back in there while in flight, your passengers would all fly off the roof of the damn plane? What’s wrong with you?
APPLICANT: What’s wrong with me, what’s wrong with you?
(RAP/SING) Six, I like to go to job interviews like this, sucker’s for managers and get my kicks. You wanna do a better job at interviewing applicants, then maybe use your brain!
Seven, I think a dance floor in the plane and a swimming pool and hot tub on top of the plane would be sheer heaven! Don’t deny passengers the right to party in style!
HIRING MANGER: All right, I think this interview is over. Good luck out there. I think you’re going to need it.
APPLICANT: No, I’m not, cause I’ve been filming this whole thing for my TikTok. You’re the one who needs good luck. Good luck in making a buck cause you’re fired! Besides being a D.J. and rap superstar, I’m the secret boss. And let me say it once again, you are fired!
(RAP/SING) Good luck out there, you leave a lot lot lot to be admired!
THE END
BANK OPERATIONS AND EGG YOLKS
BANK TELLER: Thank you. You have a nice day.
DEPARTING CUSTOMER: You too.
BANK TELLER: There was a father of a family of seven in here earlier who withdrew almost everything for groceries. They only have three dollars and seventeen cents left in their account.
OTHER BANK TELLER: Wow, that is sad.
NEW CUSTOMER: Yes, that is sad. I would like to withdraw twenty-five thousand dollars please and deposit this to that family of seven right away.
BANK TELLER: Wow, really? That’s going to be a great Christmas gift for them!
OTHER BANK TELLER: Um, I’m having some major hard times lately. I don’t think I can get my car payment or rent this month.
BANK TELLER: Shut up man.
MANAGER: Actually sir, customer, sir. You can’t do that. We are not able to let you deposit twenty-five thousand dollars into someone’s account without their permission. And they must be here for that anyhow.
NEW CUSTOMER: That’s fine sourpuss. I would like to close my account of eighty-five million dollars and take my money elsewhere then.
MANAGER: Um, wait. Um just a minute. We can work with your request, I think.
BANK TELLER: Attitude adjustment!
OTHER BANK TELLER: I’m telling you! Don’t want to be losing a customer worth eighty-five million dollars!
NEW CUSTOMER: So how are we doing on depositing that twenty-five thousand dollars into that family of seven’s account?
MANAGER: Aaron, you got their account ready for the transfer from…..?
NEW CUSTOMER: (SING/RAP) Mr. Richy Rich and I’ve got an itch! I love giving money!
OTHER BANK TELLER: Uh, I was really serious about probably not being able to pay my rent, car payment and groceries this month.
BANK TELLER: Shut up man! I need more help than you.
MANAGER: Also, Aaron, you need to call that customer and inform him of the transfer gift from Mr. Richie Rich. Uh, sir, my mother is real sick and has these medical bills….
NEW CUSTOMER: (SING/RAP) It’s the ills of society, I’m telling you! Leaving, me, you, they, them broke as a joke, I can only eat an egg yolk!
OTHER BANK TELLER: Um yeah, that’s what I’ve been telling you. I’ll be lucky to eat egg yolks this month, because I literally can’t even afford my rent, car payment, groceries or even egg yolks!
NEW CUSTOMER: (SING/RAP) Transfer thirty-five thousand egg yolks to this poor bank teller. I feel sorry for him, and after he eats thirty-five thousand egg yolks he’ll have to hit the gym!
OTHER BANK TELLER: Wait up! What the hell am I gonna do with thirty-five thousand egg yolks? I said I was having trouble paying my bills-
NEW CUSTOMER: That’s what you get for lying! Your story keeps changing from not being able to pay the bills at all, to trouble paying the bills. There’s a difference man!
(SING/RAP) You best be grateful for those thirty-five thousand egg yolks I’m transferring to you! That’s a lot of protein, perhaps you’ll grow strong, get seen and get a better job!
MANAGER: Excuse me! We can’t afford to lose our employees during the holiday season. And by the way, Mr. Richy Rich, we cannot possibly honor your request to transfer thirty-five thousand egg yolks. It’s not possible.
NEW CUSTOMER: Don’t give me that negative thinking.
(RAP/SING) I’m worth eighty-five million dollars. Charge my damn account, get a grocery cart! Get the egg yolks loaded and ready to go! Then this bank teller will reap what he sows!
OTHER BANK TELLER: Hey, I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do with thirty-five thousand egg yolks! For serious!
BANK TELLER: Wait, wait! I got it!
MANAGER: You got it? So do I!
BANK TELLER: It’s the power of positive thinking! He’ll use the egg yolks to distribute them to starving vegetarians!
MANAGER: Or starving people trying to lose weight!
(RAP/SING) He can be innovative in this task. With his cash earnings buy some Henna placenta hasks!
NEW CUSTOMER: (RAP/SING) Now you’re thinking! And since you guys figured that out, the two of you will get forty two thousand dollars transferred from me to you!
And you! Make sure those egg yolks are cooked entirely through, cause if your customers eat them raw, they’re surely to get salmonella and sue!
Good luck, good riddance of all bad things and Merry Christmas to all of you all!
OTHER BANK TELLER: (RAP/SING) Hey, I still think it’s a bunch of crap! That that family of seven gets twenty five thousand dollars and my co-worker and manager are now getting a whopping forty two thousand dollars and I’m getting a ridiculous thirty five thousand egg yolks!
That’s a lot of work, what a joke!
NEW CUSTOMER: (RAP/SING) Well life’s not fair, I thought you should learn! Now when you get to cooking your egg-yolks, make sure you don’t burn! Careful about serving them raw in smoothies, there’s been people that had too many, getting the poopies was on the bright side, some kid had too many and bit the dust!
I know you think receiving that many is a bust, but I’m doing you a favor and don’t you ever forget it!
OTHER BANK TELLER: (RAP/SING) Well, having that many egg yolks and not wanting to go into that kind of business is just too much. You guys can take this job and you know what! Because I quit! Good luck to all you lunatics!
THE END
