Five Sayings


They have been driving me nuts
Did I mention that already
I don't like any of these
This is an emergency
 I don't know if you can help me


An employee at the local shopping center stands behind a desk, littered with discarded clothing. She is folding the clothes with great urgency, trying to clear the desk. Her efforts seem to be in vain as more customers exit the fitting rooms from behind her, discarding them onto her steadily growing pile. She sigh an irrated sigh as a fellow employee approaches.

Employee 1
“They have been driving me crazy”

Second employee
“I KNOW”

As the second employee finished her statement, a group of girls exited the fitting room, all with handful of clothes. The stop and look at the first employee.


Girl from group

“I don't like any of these”

The group of girls, one by one, piled the clothes on the desk. Employee on sighs as she begins to wish the day would go by sooner. As she begins to fold some of the clothes on the desk, the phone on the desk begins to ring. The second employee answers it with the stores required greeting and waits for the caller to speak.

Caller

“This is an emergency, I don’t know if you can help me...”

The employees exchange looks as they both realize that today was going to a long day.


The second employee

“What can I help you with?

  1. The script would have better flow if you found a way to work the lines with the caller in with the first group of girls. Why introduce new characters when you can have the first set of characters bring closure to the story.
