A store needs a mascot.

Find out who wants the job.

SCENE ONE

MS. ROSARIO is pacing nervously in her office. It is 9:00 a.m.

MS. ROSARIO. [desperate] I need a mascot for our Monster Sale. The broadcast starts in two hours! There must be at least one monster that needs a job!

[MISS PETAL enters. She looks terrified.]

MISS PETAL. Ms. Rosario, someone is waiting to see you for the mascot job.

MS. ROSARIO. Great! Show him in.

[MISS PETAL leaves, still looking terrified.]

[YGOR enters, holding a thick rope that is pulled tight. At the other end of the rope is THE MONSTER, hidden offstage. MS. ROSARIO stares up at THE MONSTER. She looks amazed, then overjoyed.]

MS. ROSARIO. Perfect.

YGOR. My name is Ygor Manic. [points to THE MONSTER, still offstage] This is my friend Frankensteinz. He wants to apply for the job you advertised.

MS. ROSARIO. [still staring at THE MONSTER] Frankensteinz?

YGOR. Yes, Frankensteinz is his first name. It’s spelled with a z.
