Minimalist Ping-Pong

A Scene in 20 Words By: Amy Alls

Characters: One very eager person (Person 1)
One very unenthusiastic person (Person 2)

Skit can be performed by any two people about any topic imaginable.


1: Hey.
2: Yes?
1: Can I?
2: No.
1: Please?
2: Why?
1: I just—
2: No.
1: Man.
2: Well?
1: What?
2: Ahem.
1: C’mon.
2: Fine.
1: Yay!
2: Done?
1: Yes.
1&2: Goodbye.

**Disclaimer: I used to do these types of scenes as an acting exercise when I was in college. I was also required to write my own as a writing exercise. This is not one of those, but a totally new one. However, there are probably an infinite combination of words that can be used to play this game. In fact, it is very possible that this combination, or at least the bulk of it, has been used by someone else I have never met in some place I have never been ever before. It is not my intention to plagiarize any such combination of words, but only to clarify that these words right here at this time are my words and they are COPYWRIGHTED MATERIAL AND MAY NOT BE DOWNLOADED, TRANSMITTED, PRINTED OR PERFORMED WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR (which is me, thankyouverymuch).
