A short comedy skit for 1 woman and 2 men
COSTUMES: The men are dressed 40's-style; Sam Egg wears a trench coat; Lola dresses like a gangster's moll
PROPS: telephone (retro-style, if possible), Barbie doll, plush or toy Mickey Mouse, 2 pistols, a red fish: can be paper, wood, plastic, anything
NOTE: You will need some sound effects: telephone ringing and a gunshot (free sound effects MP3 files can be found online if needed)
Here is an excerpt:
Lola:(in a breathless voice) Are you Sam Egg, Pie?
Sam: That's "P.I." As in "Private Eye."
Lola: So, you're a detective?
Sam: Depends on who's askin'.
Lola: My name is...(coughs and clears throat, then speaks in a normal voice) My name is Lola.
Sam: Her name was Lola.
Lola: I just said that. I need help.
Sam: There's a psychiatrist's office on the next floor.
Lola: Not that kind of help.
Sam: Listen, I don't come cheap. Do you have any dough?
Lola: What would it take to hire you? Twenty-five dollars?
Sam: You'll have to go higher than that.
Lola: (Speaks in high falsetto) Twenty-five dollars?
Sam: If you want to hire me, it'll cost you a "C" note.
Lola: (Sings a high note) How's that?
Sam: That was a B-flat, but it'll do for starters. Okay, Miss LaTour. Take a load off and spill it.
Lola: What?
Sam: Sit down and tell me all about it.
