[audience applause]
- Um, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh, we'd love to do our next sketch for you, but, um,
we're out of money.
[audience laughter]
- Yeah, and we don't wanna name any names,
but it was Margaret from accounting.
[audience laughter]
- But we'd still like to try and show you
what the sketch would look like
if we did have the money to do it.
- Yeah, and so we're gonna need you guys
to use a little bit of imagination,
and we've asked a few of our crew members
if they'll come and help us.
[audience applause]
Okay, so we're in a normal living room,
and back here, there's a center table,
so if you would just get down right here.
[audience laughter]
Great, and then, and then you are the coaster on the table
holding this glass of water,
so go ahead and sit on him.
[audience laughter]
Great, just maintain it right there,
think coaster, okay.
[audience laughter]
- Okay, and then we also need a chair
in the corner of the room, so if you could just squat.
Put your arms up.
- That's just like the chair I imagined, okay.
[audience laughter]
Ready?
Let's go.
[audience laughter]
- Okay, so there's a knock at the door.
- Lilly, played by Austin, answers the door,
so it'd sound a little something like this.
[in high-pitched creaky voice] Ohh!
[audience laughter]
Abraham!
- To which Abraham, played by Tanner, would say:
[audience laughter]
[in dramatic voice] Could I come in?
It's important.
[audience laughter]
- [as Lily] Sure, come in.
[audience laughter]
Can I get you something to drink?
- [as Abraham] No.
[as self] He says, though obviously parched.
He's just much more motivated by his need to quench his thirst
for balance in his love life, just a little backstory.
[audience cheers]
- [as self] Lily takes a sip.
And puts the cup back down.
[as Lily] Okay, I'm ready.
- [as Abraham] I just need to tell you how I really feel.
I...
love...
[audience laughter]
the color orange.
[audience laughter]
[as self] Just then, Dad, played by Dalton,
busts in the door, and he goes, [imitating cocking shotgun],
but, but just with his eyes, so there's no gun.
[audience laughter]
Then Abraham, scared out of his pants,
gulps audibly.
[gulps audibly]
[audience laughter]
So then Dad angrily approaches--
- [as self] Lily obstructs her father's path.
[as Lily] Daddy, don't hurt him.
[audience laughter]
- Dad pushes Lily aside.
[as Dad] Your family is a disgrace!
I told you and those orange-loving feet
never to step themselves in here again!
[as Abraham] Aah!
[audience laughter]
[as self] Says Abraham.
- [as self] At this point Lily breaks them up
and sides with Abe.
[as Lily] So what, Dad?
He loves orange, and you know what?
I love orange too.
[audience laughter]
[as self] At this point there is some thick silence.
Imagine there's just crickets.
But dead, dead crickets, because it's so silent.
[audience laughter]
- So then, Dad boils with rage, and turns, and forcefully
breaks the chair and throws it into the fire... [trails off]
[audience laughter]
- Do it.
[audience laughter]
- [as Dad] Aagh!
[audience laughter]
- At this point, Mom, played by Jess,
enters the room with some gumption
and shouts above the noise.
[screaming and grunting as Dad]
[in strange voice] Keith!
[distressed vocalization]
[audience laughter]
You know we bought that chair when in Rome.
[as self] Pause for laughter.
[audience laughter]
- I just want what's best for our daughter!
[audience laughter]
- [as Mom] Keith, we too were once young and in love
with the color orange.
[audience laughter]
I mean, look at them.
[audience laughter]
[as self] At this point,
Mom tenderly places her hand on Dad's cheek
with the hopes that he'll say, "I remember now."
- I remember now.
[audience laughter]
I'm so, so sorry.
[as self] He says to his wife,
whose name we haven't mentioned yet, but it's Janice.
[audience laughter]
He then turns to Abraham and says:
[as Dad] Abraham, I'm okay with it
if you guys wanna love orange.
- At this point, they all engage in a group hug,
which would look just like this,
but with four people.
[audience laughter]
So that's our sketch; pretty good, huh?
[audience applause]
- Sorry, sorry to interrupt, um...
I don't know how exactly to tell you guys,
but um, we didn't actually run out of money.
There is no Margaret in accounting.
Uh, we just didn't think your sketch was very funny, and...
[audience laughter]
Really didn't think that you would come up
and perform it.
[audience laughter]
- Will you come stand right here?
Just step-- put your body right here.
So it would look just like this, but with one more person.
[audience laughter and applause]
