CONTEXT: I had been taking a Commercial Audition class which also set students up on auditions with commercial agents. It was a great class, I learned tons about auditioning, specifically that I HATED reading those commercials. I felt awkward whenever I read some quirky monologue about peanut butter or Dorritos, so my buddy Ahmed and I wrote our own commercial and I auditioned with that.
SCENE: Agents Office. AGENT is behind desk. ROB enters.
ROB (extending his hand)
Hi, I'm Rob Ready!
AGENT (not looking up or extending hand)
Hi.
ROB (pulling his hand back slowly)
It's nice to meet you.
AGENT
You ready?
ROB
I was born Ready.
AGENT (finally looks up, is not amused)
Go ahead.
ROB
Are you tired of waiting around all week for Communion? Then, when the time finally comes, having some old guy just stuff it in your mouth? Well not to worry because new, from the makers of Holy Water and communion wine, in conjunction with the producers of America’s most beloved cracker, Cheesits, comes the new communion wafer, Jeesits. Pre-blessed by Pope John Paul Eisengoldbergstein III, these crunchy communion crackers will cleanse both your palate and your soul; Jeesits, delicious as sin, with an after taste of absolution.
AGENT
I'm Catholic
(BLACKOUT)
