Scene: Melanie wants a job at
a TV network. Mr. Tyler is trying to
decide where she can fit in at a particular network.
(Open on job employment
office)
Secretary: Mr. Tyler, a Ms. Erickson
is here for her
Mr. Tyler: Oh ok, send her
in.
Ah, Melanie, please sit. Let’s get down to business right away.
I noticed from your AOL
‘buddy’ profile that you wanted to live on planet bob…
Melanie: I can explain that.
Mr. Tyler: Which brings up a
very good point I’d like to make.
Everything’s ‘Bob’ these days.
For instance, I’m Bob.
You can be Bob too if you
want.
On our staff we have Food service Bob and Package delivery Bob.
Melanie: Wait a minute, I’m Bob?
No, according to this page
your Tinkerbell, and you've found your ‘Peter Pan’, but I would think that that
must be uncomfortable, you know with the size difference and all.
Melanie: No I’m Ariel, my
friend Susan is Tinkerbell.
Mr. Tyler: Ok, that’s all
well and good, but I have one last question concerning this matter.
Melanie: and that would be?
Mr. Tyler: Can I be
Cinderella’s court jester?
Melanie: (Confused) Ok sure.
Mr. Tyler: your too kind, but
back to my original point.
There's rockstar bob and sponge bob and major hit sitcom
executive producer's assistant bob and I’m very conceited by not letting you talk that much.
Melanie: What was that last
one?
Mr. Tyler: Nothing. I’m also getting ready for Bob day on May 26.
Melanie: But it’s May 27.
Mr. Tyler: I know but it’s
never too early to start on next year’s celebration.
Melanie: don’t you think
that’s a bit obsessive?
Mr. Tyler: Alright, I won’t
kidnap Bob Costas. But let’s see... I ran out of bob's, my apologies. But that still leaves one question left: what
kind of ‘Bob’ do you want to be in today’s work world?
Melanie: Gee, I never thought
of that.
Mr. Tyler: Well, you
should. The way I see it, ‘Bob’
represents everything new and different in today’s world. In fact, I started a petition to change the phrase
‘Average Joe’ to ‘Average Bob.’
Melanie: Well, that’s just
all too interesting, but I’m afraid I have to go and run far away from you now.
Mr. Tyler: So then, same time
next week?
Melanie: I’ll call if I need
any more ‘advice.’
Mr. Tyler: Fair enough, take
care.
