How to Talk at a Party

ANT 1: This party is OK. But this house is a lot smaller than ours. ANT 2: Nicole, honey, that’s not POLITE. Don’t say that.

ANT 1: Oh, sorry, uh… OUR house is a lot NICER than THIS one. ANT 2: NICOLE! Stop it! People can HEAR you!

Prepared for Party

SKINK (thinking): Before a party, I prepare for common questions I might be asked.

SKINK (thinking): I'm ready for almost any social situation.

Best Friend

Two ants talk in a coffee shop, as a third ant enters and approaches the counter. JIM: Oh! See that guy who just came in? He's one of my best friends. CAL: How long have you known him?

JIM: Years now. We have similar schedules. Similar styles. We like very similar music. We order the same food. It's nice to have someone you're so in sync with.

Lost in a Book

SQUIRREL (thinking): I love getting lost in a book.

RABBITL Hey, how's it going? SQUIRREL: Oh!

Waves of Anxiety

A wave splashes a skink on a beach. THE OCEAN: You don't make eye contact enough!

The waves splash all around the skink. THE OCEAN: In fact, your friends probably think you hate them because of it!

Stop Poking

A fox pokes a squirrel in the nose.

FOX: Would you like me to stop poking you in the nose? SQUIRREL: Yes, I very much would!

Feeling a Little Shy

A skink sits by a rabbit and bird. SKINK (thinking): I'm feeling a little shy.

SKINK (thinking): Maybe the best thing to do is to silently stare at them until they feel uncomfortable and go away.

Party Time

SKINK: If I come to the party early, it'll be awkward.

SKINK: But if I come late, they'll think I'm rude.

Ready

FLYNN: The moon looks READY tonight. Shining. Bright. Full of life.

THE MOON: That's right, baby!! I'm ready to HANG OUT. LET'S GOOOOO, FOLKS!!

THE MOON: WAIT, is everyone ASLEEP again?! Come ON, people! (sigh)...

THE MOON: WHATEVER, it's FINE... But these jerks will be all "up-and-at-'em" when the stupid SUN comes up, you can count on THAT...

Party

SQUIRREL (thinking): I want to find an easy and polite way to let people know this holiday party is over.

SQUIRREL (thinking): LEAVE! NOW! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE! LEEEEEEEEEAVE!!!

SQUIRREL (thinking, as everyone exits their house): PERFECT! Easier than I thought...

SQUIRREL (thinking): It occurs to me... I maybe didn't quite hit the "polite" angle. But... wasn't married to that anyway...
