| Script: | Scout acting as a Reporter walks on stage and stands behind the log. Reporter: I haven't had a good story in months and if I don't get one today I'll be fired. I have nothing to live for so I'm going to jump off this cliff. (he steps up on log, looking down towards the ground, getting ready to jump. Robber walks on stage, reporter sees him and speaks to him.) Reporter: What happened to you? You look really sad. Robber: I am. I just robbed a bank, took $75 million dollors, stole an airplane and flew away. Then, I set it on auto-pilot, took a parachute and jumped out. But, I forgot the money! I'm a failure and I'm going to jump off this cliff. Reporter: Sure, there's plenty of room. Come on up. (Basketball player walks on stage.) Reporter: What's wrong with you? Basketball Player: There was 2 seconds left in the NBA championships and I missed the basket that would have won it all. Now, everyone on the team hates me. I'm going to jump off this cliff. Reporter: Gee, that's awful. Come on up. (Clown walks on stage.) Reporter: What's wrong with you? Clown: I'm not funny. I scared all the little kids at a birthday party today and I'm going to lose my Clown License tomorrow. I'm here to jump off this cliff. Reporter: Gee, that's awful. Come on up. (everyone is standing on the log or chairs.) Reporter: OK, let's all go on the count of 3. Ready. 1, 2, 3! (all jump except the reporter) Reporter: Wow, what a story! Hold the presses!
