"Chicken Sandwich" - A Newfangled Talkie Featuring Chris Sartinsky!

INT. A DINER. DAY.

CHRIS SARTINSKY enters a small town diner. A MAN works behind the counter, cleaning up.

MAN: Welcome to the Stuckyville Diner, what can I get for ya?

CHRIS (mumbles): Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN: Pardon me, sonny, you'll have to speak up.

CHRIS (clearer, louder): Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN: Alright, chicken sandwich it is. Grilled or breaded?

Chris blinks as though never before faced with this option. Then:

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN: Would you like it grilled? We can grill it for you real nice.

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN: Or perhaps you'd prefer a nice greasy spoon special? Breaded, fried, some chips on the side...delicious!

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN (slightly flustered): Well, gee, kid, you gotta tell me how you'd like me to cook it.

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

The man blinks hard at Chris. He stops and thinks. Then:

MAN: I got just the thing for ya. Wait here.

The lights fade down. When the fade back up, Chris is sitting dumbly at a corner booth. On closer inspection, we see that maybe Chris has been wearing the same clothes for a while.

The man approaches holding a plate or raw chicken and places it down in front of Chris.

MAN: Here ya go, sonny. Enjoy! On the house.

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.

MAN: Oh! I almost forgot!

MAN runs back behind the counter and returns with a kaiser roll.

MAN: Here we go, can't have a chicken sandwich without the seeded roll!

CHRIS: Yea, uh, chicken sandwich.
