Yes, We Have No Bananas: A One Act Play

James Bender — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 00:53:48 GMT

Scene: A Starbucks kiosk at the Las Angels Convention Center.

James: A PDC attendee who not being interested in the lunch provided is looking for another form of sustenance that is not entirely junk-food based. He has remembered that Starbucks now sell a protein shake that contains bananas. James likes bananas but they upset his stomach

Starbucks Cashier: A Starbucks Cashier

Scene opens

James: Hi, I would like one of your protein shakes, but I don't want any bananas.

Starbucks Cashier: Oh, I'm sorry we're out of bananas.

James: Ok, right. That's fine, I don't want any bananas.

Starbucks Cashier: OK, so you want a protein shake without any bananas

James: Yes

Starbucks Cashier: Oh, OK. But, we're out of bananas.

James: .... right.... I'm saying I don't want bananas in it

Starbucks Cashier (in seeming disbelief): OK, you want a protein shake but you don't want bananas.

James: Right...

Starbucks Cashier: Ok, because we're out of bananas

James: ... Yeah I heard that somewhere.

Starbucks Cashier: Oh, OK. The things is, it not actual bananas, it's a banana mix that we use to make the shake. The protein is a power we add afterward.

James: OK, can you make me a Frappachino and add the protein power?

Starbucks Cashier: You mean like a protein shake?

James: Yes!

Starbucks Cashier: Oh... Well, we're out of bananas...

And scene.

Some actually PDC technical content coming soon...
