Sample of script:
opens with offstage voices
OSV Pilot: This is your First Officer, Captain Eternal, speaking . . Last call, everyone should now be in their seats . . seat belts fastened, seat backs fully forward and seat tables in the locked and upright position in preparation for takeoff.
OSV Tracy: OK guys I will have to make a run for it or we will miss our flight.
OSV Joe: Hey slow down will ya? . . . It’s dark in here . . . and obviously we’re flying economy again, no padding at all in this old suitcase!
OSV Moe: You should talk Joe, I’m on the bottom and, (strained voice), you’ve got your elbow in my Adam’s apple!
OSV Joe: Get over it Moe, as the senior member of this team I expect the best spot.
there is noise offstage of box falling
OSV Joe: Hey! . . . Whoa! . . . What’s goin’ on out there?
OSV Moe: Tracy did you go and drop the suitcase . . . and us in it?
OSV Tracy: Sorry, I was trying to rush and . . .
OSV Joe: Maybe you never heard the old saying . . .”Slow and steady makes for less bruising?”
OSV Moe: Actually Joe, I think the old saying is “Slow and steady wins the race.”
OSV Joe: Shhhhhhhhhhhh! . . . Don’t you ever say the word “race” or Tracy will act like we are, (mimics racetrack announcer), down the stretch . . . at the Kentucky Derby.
Tracy comes onstage carrying a “very heavy” suitcase
OSV Joe: How much further do we gotta go Tracy? . .
Tracy: It’s not far now, let’s see . . our seats are Row 6, seats A, B and C.
OSV Moe: Sure and I suppose I get the middle seat again . . like zero elbow room!
OSV Joe: Maybe you expect that me, being the senior member of the team, should get the middle seat?
OSV Moe: Well Joe, no way you should always get first choice . . .
OSV Joe: Live with it Moe!
OSV Moe: But it’s not fair . .
Tracy: Enough already, I will sit in the middle seat.
OSV Moe: And I am sure Joe here will want the window seat too, won’t you Joe? I always get stuck with the aisle seat!
OSV Joe: No I will let you have the window seat Moe. . . The stewardesses will want to be close to me, they know how gorgeous I am.
Tracy: OK, here are our seats. . .
Tracy puts suitcase down on low table
OSV Moe: Whoa! . . . Steady big fella!
OSV Joe: Bruising! . . . Bruising! . . .
Tracy takes puppets out of suitcase, sets them up on top of suitcase on table, lines are now “live”
Joe: Hey careful of my arm, it wasn’t built to turn in that direction.
Moe: I think I just might have whiplash.
Tracy: Will you two stop your complaining?
