Excellent one-scene script Worlds : Armadillo 5 by Bill Schott

Hostess desk at an upscale animal restaurant somewhere in the southwest. The hostess, a young mule deer, prepares to greet a patron. Hostess: Welcome to our place. Do you have a reservation? Armadillo: Armadillo. Hostess: Well Mister Dillo, I don't see a reservation here. Armadillo: Armadillo. Hostess: Yes, well, I am a Deer. You've probably heard of our herd. My father has me starting out here greeting the public, but I'll be managing soon. Are you certain you've a reservation here? Armadillo: Armadillo. The manager steps over. Manager: Is there a problem here, Ms. Deer. Hostess: This one just keeps saying "He's a Dillo." I can't find that name with a reservation. The manager looks over the listing and at the patron. Manager: You're a Dillo? Armadillo: Armadillo. A young female armadillo steps up to join the conversation. Young Armadillo: Hi. My grandfather only speaks Armadillo. We are the Armadillos. We have a standing reservation for twenty-five at five for table five. Manager: Oh! Armadillo, yes. You are actually the new owners. Young Armadillo: Yes. So we would Iike to be seated now. I'll also need twelve high chairs and six booster seats. Manager: Of course. Immediately. Hostess: I'm so sorry for the confusion, Mister Dillo. Armadillo: Armadillo. Oh, yes. You're fired.   Author Notes Im@ge from Google
