Jelly Beans Please Skit
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.
