AYE ye scurvy pirates! I had a couple really fun scenes in improv tonight.
““
We had a melodrama scene where our goal was to act melodramatically, our task was to watch paint dry, and our opening line had to be, “What time is it?”
We both stared at the imaginary wall between us and the audience watching paint dry, and then in an intense voice, I asked my partner, “What time is it?!”
He: full of energy and excitement, “You know what time it is, It’s THAT time!”
Me: “It’s THAT time?!”
He, “YES! Let’s DO IT!”
Me: “YES,” flinging my arms wide and looking off into the distance, “Let’s go SAILING!”
He: “oh”
Our teacher interrupts and tells him that since he didn’t give me any information about what we were doing, he’s stuck with the information I added. He says that he was giving me a suggestive suggestion, seeing what I would do with it, and playing disappointed on purpose as part of the scene. She tells us to continue.
He: “YES! Let’s DO IT!”
Me: “YES, since I’m not ovulating right now, Let’s go SAILING!”
Class: ha, ha , ha ;) :)
Then, quite melodramatically, we talk about how much we love sailing and how BEAUTIFUL it will be on the bay, but we have to watch out for those PIRATES! They will tell us to walk the plank! They will be scurvy! He huddles in fear behind me. I am brave but scornful of my worm like husband. He switches roles to play the pirate!
Me: I pull out my imaginary sword “I will fight you!”
He: Puts down his imaginary sword “I don’t fight ladies!”
Me: “What do you do?”
He: puts his arm around my waist, in a very piratey voice says”I’ll take you back to my ship and take you to my quarters!”
Me: breaking out of pirate talk,”Honey! I told you I’m not ovulating!”
The end
Since no one has left a comment here, I will leave my own comment and say: This is SOOO funny! Ha ha ha, Good one, Braidwood.
