The Abandoment of Commerciality

AT RISE:

A black and white dream world! A GENTLEMAN in whiteface wears a black turtleneck, and clutches a white balloon. His vacant gaze allows no easy point of entry for the frustrated audience.

GENTLEMAN:
What a nice day for a balloon.

A DOG enters, wearing a baby mask. That is a mask that looks liek a bay's face, rather than the flesh of an infant. Or, you know, whatever.

GENTLEMAN:
Would you like a turn with the balloon, Frederick?

DOG:
Dur dur d'être bébé!

GENTLEMAN:
And how!

The balloon floats away.

GENTLEMAN:/DOG:
Fin!

BLACKOUT. THE END.
