VESTRY CAN DRIVE SKIT 10/30/06 The skit starts with the vestry walking down the front of the chapel only members missing are Ben, Alex, Chris, and Nicole. Richie: No, you're wrong Kevin Mr. Wagg's beard would definitely win in a fight against Dr. Pearcy's beard. Kevin: But you can't rule out Mr. Keith. (Ben and Alex enter with Ben's head down) Ben: I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Julia: What happened Ben? Rahul: (noticing his arm) What did you do to your arm? Alex: Well we were kind of having an intense thumby war, and one thing lead to another Ben: I wasn't expecting you to be so rough Alex: (shrugs) Sorry. (Nicole and Chris walk in and Nicole is upset) Rahul: Chris, what is wrong with Nicole? (Chris leans in and whispers to vestry) Alex: What? (Chris leans in and whispers again) Vestry: What? Nicole: Ok I didn't get my Starbucks run in today. I haven't eaten anything in like 12 hours, and it's just like the worst day ever. Mike: Hey I have a great idea. Let's go out for a special vestry luncheon. Vestry: Hooray! (The vestry starts to walk away) (Mr. Beihn at the lectern) Mr. Beihn: what the vestry doesn't know is that Nicole isn't the only person whose hungry. People Kevin: Who is speaking in that semi omnipresent voice?
Richie: God? Mr. Beihn: No Rich. It's Mr. Beihn. Richie: Oh Mr. Beihn: Like I was saying (clears his throat) all over the world people are suffering from hunger, even people not far from the Episcopal Academy. Even Alex: That's horrible. Nicole: I don't know I'm really hungry. Mr. Beihn: Will you stop interrupting me for five seconds! Nicole: Sorry. Mr. Beihn: Like I was saying people all over the world are suffering from hunger. However, sometimes hungry people stay full from the generosity of others. Rahul: I feel like there is something that we should do to help the hungry people around us. Ben: I have a great idea Julia: What? Ben: We can try to get food into the Chapel and then give it to the hungry. Julia: Like a can drive? Ben: Exactly. Julia: That would never work. Mike: That plan is just ridiculous. Chris: Hey I have an idea. Entire vestry except Ben: What? Chris: Why don't we go back in time to last year when we had all those cans in the Chapel, take some and bring them back so we can help get food to those in need. Entire Vestry except Ben: That sounds like a great idea. Ben: That's a ridiculous idea. How can we go back in time? Rahul: Obviously you don't know that the vestry mobile has special time traveling powers.
Ben: Oh. Rahul: To the vess Chris: Rahul I'm senior warden, I'm the one that says to the vestry mobile Rahul: Oh Chris: yeah, so. To the vestry mobile! Vestry: To the vestry mobile. Mr. Beihn: However the vestry didn't know how to work the vestry mobile because the seniors of last year never taught them how to drive it. Julia: Just press that button that says a couple of days ago. Let's see if this thing actually works. (A ghost runs out on into the chapel) Ghost: Booooo! Do you want a Boo gram? Julia: Oops not far back enough. Chris: Oh look there's a minute button. How many minutes are in a year? Kevin: Are you serious, you haven't seen the video. Chris: No wait what video, never mind just tell me how many minutes are in a year. Ben, Kevin, and Richie: (look at each other, and sing) five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. Rahul: Wait!!! Everyone stop! If we go back in time we could some how cause a butterfly effect that could cause the apocalypse or something. Kevin: Or worse. Rich, Ben, Mike and I might not be inducted into vestry. Rich, Ben, Mike, and Kevin: Ahhhhhhh! Ben: Let's get out of here. Ghost: Wait, does that mean I have to leave. Alex: Yeah. Sorry Bob. Ghost: Can I still wear the sheet? Alex: Sure (Ghost runs away yelling in triumph) Mike: That ghost sure gave me the heebeejeebees.
Nicole: Now we're back to were we started. What are we going to do to help the hungry? Rahul: I have a great idea. Vestry: What? Rahul: We can have a can drive. Vestry: Yeah that's a great idea. Ben: I already said that. Kevin: I don't remember you ever saying that. Ben: I literally said it five minutes a. Kevin: No you didn't. Richie: Well when do we start the can drive? Kevin: I guess people should start bringing in cans as soon as they can. Alex: Yeah like everyone should bring in cans starting now and bring in a lot after that so we can help hungry people. Julia: But how are we going to capture the attention of the students in a meaningful way? Ben: We could do a vestry skit. Mike: What a ridiculous idea. Ben: What? Rahul: Ben, who do you think you are Jen D'angelo? Nicole: Well we could have a can jam that can take place on November 3rd, in the wrestling room with student performers. We also can have a dance with both Haverford School and AIS. Richie: That's a great idea. Mike: So when does this can drive start? Kevin: Mike, it starts right now! Chris: We need the entire student body to start bringing in cans as soon as possible. Rahul: and keep bringing them in until November 22nd so we can help feed those in need. Alex: What types of cans should people bring in?
Julia: Any kind. We need the help of everyone to help keep people from being hungry. Richie: How about Shake and Bake Kevin: Did you just try to insert a catch phrase from Talladega Nights: The ballad of Ricky Bobby? Richie: Yes Kevin: Ok Nicole: Well, this just sounds awesome. Mike: Yeah, awesome. Lets just pray that students will bring in those gosh darn cans. Mr. Beihn: And so the vestry of 06 07 set out on an epic quest to inform the students of Episcopal Academy about the can drive and get them to bring in cans, a task so epic in its nature that it would only be rivaled by the forth Indiana Jones movie. Bring in cans. This is your story! The End.
