Nature Girl

The players are: The director
                     Set Assistant
                     The Nature Girl
                     The mom
                     The doctor
                     The ambulance (made up of 4 people)
                     The camera man

I hope I can explain it in text because it involves quite as bit of ‘attitude’! (If you use the same Dr. from Dr. Dr. Skit it may improve laugh lines)

The scene is played over a number of times in different ways. The basic sketch is an acting set with a director. Nature girl in center of stage, Director off to the side. Set Assistant enters.

SET ASSISTANT: "Nature Girl, scene one, take one" (exits)

DIRECTOR: "Action"

NATURE GIRL: " Hi, my name is Rainbow, I love nature, I love everything about it! I love the trees, I love the sky, I love the flowers, and I love that snake...Oh it bit me…”(falls to ground)

MOM: (enters) "Oh no! A snake has bitten my daughter! Doctor, Doctor!!"

Doctor enters flanked by four people, acting like an ambulance, two in front and two behind carrying flashlights. They twirl flashlights over their head and say "Woo, Woo, Woo Woo" (like a siren). When they reach the fallen Nature Girl, the doctor leaves the 'ambulance' and joins mom at daughter’s side.

DOCTOR: "What seems to be the problem?"

MOM :"My daughters been bitten by a snake"

DOCTOR: "I'm afraid it's dead"

MOM: "Not the snake my daughter!"

DIRECTOR: "Cut, Cut, It needs to be happier. Let's try it again"

CAMERA MAN: "Director, Director..."

DIRECTOR: "Not now, not now… "

They play the whole scene again from the top. The Assistant snaps the frame and announces 'Scene one, take two". Only this time it is played overly happy!! They belly laugh through all the lines. Even when the mom calls for the doctor, and the doctor says 'It's Dead" (this plays very funny).

Again the director says 'Cut' and this time it's too happy and they need to 'tone it down'. This time the scene is played again (scene one, take three) very somber and monotone, with no feeling or express, (this is a riot!!).

CAMERA MAN: (crying) “Director, Director!”

DIRECTOR: “Not now! Can’t you see what I’m trying to work with?!?”

At the end of this scene the Director says, "Let's try something different, let's try 'Valley Girl style'"! This time through (scene one, take four) all the players say 'Like' in front of everything they say.

As an example:

Like, my name is Rainbow, I, like, love nature etc.
Like, oh, like, it bit me!
Like, I'm afraid it's, like, dead.
Like, what seems to be the problem?"

The really big joke is when the ambulance arrives saying, "Like woo, Like woo, Like woo!!"
