SETTING
The Capitol Rotunda
[The Capitol Rotunda. A huge Great Dane walks by. Republican enters, takes out
his wallet, then bends down and scoops something up. Democrat enters from the opposite direction.]
DEMOCRAT: Hey, Republican. I wanted to ask you...
REPUBLICAN: Dude! I got that $50 I owe you. [holds out a bill]
DEMOCRAT: Great. I really need it. (pauses) Waaait a minute. I'm not taking that.
REPUBLICAN: Why not?
DEMOCRAT: There's dog crap on that fifty.
REPUBLICAN: Do you want it or not?
DEMOCRAT: Not if it has dog crap on it.
REPUBLICAN: Well, don't you have a cat? Do you want your cat to go hungry?
DEMOCRAT: Yeah, but why don't you just give me a clean fifty?
REPUBLICAN: Because this is all I got right here.
DEMOCRAT: Oh, come one. You've got another fifty.
REPUBLICAN: No I don't. In fact, if you don't take it, consider my debt erased.
DEMOCRAT: That's crazy talk! You can't do that!
REPUBLICAN: Watch me. I'm also going to tell everybody you abuse your pet.
DEMOCRAT: But that's not true!
REPUBLICAN: So what?
DEMOCRAT: Well, why don't you give me money to feed the cat, and then just owe me $40.
REPUBLICAN: Oh, no way, it's this or nothing.
DEMOCRAT: Well, I'm not taking that bill.
REPUBLICAN: (shouting) Hey everybody! This guy wants his cat to starve to death!
[Republican and Democrat exit, arguing vehemently]
