The Worst Interview! - Sketch

INT – DAY – INTERVIEW ROOM

TWO CHAIRS and ACTOR sat in one and INTERVIEWER with a notebook on the other. Both sit fidgeting and staring at each other.

ACTOR

Sorry, but when will we start?

INTERVIEWER

I think you start… don’t you?

ACTOR

Well, if that’s the format. Uuuuhh… red?

INTERVIEWER

Red?

ACTOR

Yes. The answer to what’s my favourite colour.

INTERVIEWER

But no-one asked… shouldn’t you ask me questions.

ACTOR

You’re interviewing me!

INTERVIEWER

Oh! That explains why I have questions on this.

The interviewer holds up his notebook before looking over the questions.

INTERVIEWER

Da-da-da-da let’s see… uuuuhhh…

ACTOR

Maybe just start from the first one?

INTERVIEWER

So smart! All at once? I don’t think I have that many voices. But lets give it ago… when, where, why, how old, what time-

ACTOR

No, just one after the other.

INTERVIEWER

OK. When did you first hear about the movie? How old where you when you started acting? Where were you when they offered-

ACTOR

Stop! Is this your first day? Ask the question then let me answer.

INTERVIEWER

OK. When did you hear you got the part?

ACTOR

Just a few months before-

INTERVIEWER

How old were you when-

ACTOR

Seriously? Is there anyone else?

INTERVIEWER

That’s a loaded question. I mean how real is anyone? Is there really other people or fragments of someone’s imagination or a dream?

The actor storms off.

INTERVIEWER

(Cont’)

And don’t even get me started on the theory of relativity because I’m not sure what it is. Theory yes? Of? Yes. Relativity? No. But what I will tell you is this…

FADE OUT
