SHORT PLAY 030
(Fade in on three men sitting at a table in a café arguing)
Man 1 – And I say I have the funniest name. I mean, it’s Horbble Thaupdinger.
Man 2 – Oh come on, my name is Thox Pork! That’s not exactly normal. It’s outrageous!
Man 3 – Alright. I hear the two of you arguing and all I can think is that both your names combined couldn’t top mine. Try this – my name is Acekabibble J. Monkeypants.
(Man 1 falls to the ground clutching his chest)
Man 2 – Wow. Ok, so that really is a pretty messed up name. Did Man 1 just have a heart attack?
Man 3 – (Glancing down) I think so…
Man 2 – Aren’t you a doctor?
Man 3 – I really wanted to be, but who would trust Dr. Monkeypants.
Man 2 – I certainly wouldn’t.
