GLOBAL/NAPOWRIMO 2024 DAY 26
JUST A CRACKLING CONVERSATION
Cast in order of appearance –
Me (Sam)
Me (Director)
SAM:
Hey, are you the right... Geezer? They sent me from the agency about a job.
DIRECTOR:
Job? Is that what they called it, Darlink?
SAM:
Yeah, I think so, they said it was a quick twenty nicker, for a walk on part.
DIRECTOR:
Really, Sweetie? I think there's a few formalities we need to get out of the way first, don't you?
SAM:
Tell me about it, but I've gotta go soon, I could've earned a tenner by now, any place else.
DIRECTOR:
Okay, right, in this game we go through an audition process. We invite a number of people in, give them some lines to learn, then we ask them to act out the piece.
SAM:
Is it a bit like playing, Monopoly?
DIRECTOR:
Good Heavens! No, Dearie, whatever gave you that idea?
SAM:
Well, Monopoly is a board game, isn't it? And I'm getting really, really bored. Also, the imitation money doesn't help.
DIRECTOR:
(Shuffling A4 papers) By the way, Honey, you are in The Union, aren't you?
SAM:
I won't be in any, Rubber dub dub, at this rate, if I can't earn a few bob, today.
DIRECTOR:
I'm talking about the Actor's Union, Lovely, although, with your 'boy band' looks, I'm sure the Union won't be too much of a problem.
