Quiet on the Set
by Vincent Barry
Nice
to meet you. My name is Freddy. I’ve been—
“Flag on the play! … Uh, Henry, you
called yourself Freddy.”
“‘Freddy’? Hmm, I don’t know
any—”
“No problema. . . . Take two. Cowboy shot.”
Nice to meet you. My name is Freddy—
“Cut! Hold the red. Henry, you called
yourself Freddy again.”
“I did? I don’t know any—”
“No problema. . . . Hold the red, an-n-n-d…
take three.”
Nice to meet you. My dame is. . . .
“Cut! What’s up, Henry?”
“‘Cup’? Why a cup is what I can’t
get a tea bag enough of. . . . No? . . . Out of
which I can’t get enough tea bag? . . .
“Fugget about it. . . .Take four.”
Nice to meet you. My dame is—
“Cut! Henry, ‘name,’ not ‘dame’.”
“‘Dame’?”
“You said—”
“Hmm, I don’t know who—whom—I
could have meant. Unless it was—what’s-her-name.”
“Everyone, take five. . . . Quiet on the set.
Mid-shot. An-n-n-d, action!”
Nice to meet you. My name is Henry. I’ve
been a pharmacist for nigh unto forty years. When
I have customers come in and ask me for something
for memory, I recommend Memagen. It’s safe
and effective, and it doesn't require a
prescription. I have been taking it quite a while
myself. I know it works. I love it when customers
come back and tell me, “Freddy,
that really works for me.” Makes my day!
Memagen—available at stores everywhere
without a prescription.
“Martini shot. . . . Check the gate. . .
Insert ‘Henry’ for ‘Freddy’
or, uh, ‘Freddy’ for ‘Henry.’
. . . An-n-n-d that’s a wrap. Nice job,
everyone!”
“Nap? Who said anything about a nap?”
