Skits

Day 138 (228) – A Play a Day in May #18

Time = Money

Location: Office boardroom
Characters: Boss, various peons

[The scene starts in a boardroom with the boss speaking.]

Boss: Ok gentlemen.  We’ve all heard that time equals money.  Well, I want to know exactly how much money it equals.  Go.
Peon 1: Well sir, general Time must equal $3.99/week.  However, if the time is from New York, then it’s $.50/day, except Sundays – then it’s $1.50.
Peon 2: And sir, if you’re looking for “Good Times,” well then you’re looking at $30/year for up to 6 years from 1974 to 1979.

FADE TO BLACK

—————–

I have to admit, I’m not all that happy with this skit.  I really like the premise (trying to derive an exact amount from “time = money” and also using common things with the word time in them (“Time Magazine”, “New York Times”, “Good Times”), I just think it falls through in the execution because it doesn’t really flow well and is a bit of a stretch for audiences to understand what the hell I’m talking about.

It’s amazing how it being late at night can affect one’s decision to leave only a mediocre skit up for the night…
