| Required: | 5 or 6 scouts |
| Script: | One scout is the candy store owner standing behind his counter - he's a little old man. The other scouts all come into his store and stand in a line waiting to buy candy. After each scout buys his candy, he just waits for his buddies to finish buying. Owner: Hello there, young scout. What candy would you like today? Scout 1: I'd like a quarter's worth of jelly beans, please. Owner: (pointing to the highest shelf on the wall behind him) You mean those jelly beans waaaay up there? Scout 1: Yes, please. Owner mimes getting a ladder, climbing it, getting the jar of jelly beans, climbing down, opening the jar, scooping out a few beans into a bag, and closing the jar. Owner: 25 cents, please. Scout 1: Thanks! Owner mimes climbing the ladder, replacing the jar, and climbing down the ladder. Owner: Next, please. Scout 2: I'd like a quarter's worth of jelly beans, please. Owner: (pointing to the case in front of him) Are you sure you don't want some Swedish fish or licorice laces? Scout 2: No thanks, just jelly beans. Owner mimes again. Owner: 25 cents. Scout 2: Thanks! Owner finishes mime. Owner: Next, please. Scout 3: I'd like a quarter's worth of jelly beans, please. Owner: Aw, man! Look at these great jawbreakers and lemon drops! Scout 3: No thanks, just jelly beans. Owner mimes again. Owner: 25 cents. Scout 3: Thanks! (Can do this more times with more scouts, but it gets old quickly) Owner: Next! Owner: Hey, I suppose you want a quarter's worth of jelly beans too? Scout 4: No, thank you. Owner mimes climbing the ladder, replacing the jar, and climbing down the ladder. Owner: OK, what do you want then? Scout 4: I'd like a dime's worth of jelly beans, please! Owner groans and chases all the scouts out of his store, running like a little old man. |
