MSTF 7: Generation Why?
The Annotated Script

Third Skit

***************************************************************************
SKIT THREE : BIG PLANS
***************************************************************************

SIPHER: Okay, folks, if you'll bear with us for a minute... this one takes
	some prep-work. But it'll be cool.

PHIL: You know how last year we advertised "MSTF 2004 - Mock the Vote"?
	Well, this is that skit.

(All three begin scrambling with props. Odd props. Lots of props. Hats,
	too. Stuff. Weird stuff. This goes on for about a minute until Malin
	steps up.)

MALIN: Guys? Uh, guys?

SIPHER: Uh, everyone, Malin Huffman, from 3H... what's up?

MALIN: Sorry about this, guys. But Hasbro approval never came through for
	this skit, we have to drop it.

(Malin leaves. The three stand around stunned for a few seconds.)

SIPHER: Aw, SH*T.

OFFSTAGE: LIGHTS!

(House lights down, unpause tape)

[The "joke" of this skit is a play on how over the past few years, the TF
brand's incredible retail success has actually gotten in the way of much much
smaller operations that require Hasbro approval, including OTFCC.

But the skit didn't go nearly as well as planned.  We had some props -- Phil
brought a Barney Rubble mask, Sipher brought his accordian.  Phil also was
able to pick volunteers from the audience to help out -- of course, there
was never any plan for them to be used.

Right as Sipher was going to start playing "Low Rider" on the accordian,
Malin rose from his seat, and ran up near the stage.  Phil introduced him to
the crowd, and he said his lines.  We reacted and headed back to our seats.

The problem?  None of the Malin/Phil exchange was said into a microphone,
so most people didn't hear it.

Oh, well.]
