"I Remember When You Were Normal"
(A male is
sitting in a room, tearing pieces of paper from a notebook, crumpling
them up, shoving them in his mouth, and chewing them up. Another male
walks in on him. When the first male notices the other male watching him,
he stops.)
Male #1: "It's not
what it looks like. Math."
Male #2: "You're weird...?"
(He says this in an almost question-like form.)
Male #1: "I'm weird....?"
Male #2: "Man, I remember
when you were normal."
Male #1: "Me too...me
too..." (The camera zooms in on his face, does a weird smokey fade-out
thing to indicate a recollection/remembrance sequence coming on, and zooms
out on his face in the sequence.)

[The recollection of when
Male #1 was normal:]
(Male #1 is sitting at a
table. He has paper, envelopes, and stamps on the table.)
Male #1: "I'm normal.
I'm sitting at a table."
(Male #2 is standing away
at a slight distance, watching, studying, observing. He has his arms crossed
and seems to approve of Male #1.)
Male #2: "Yeah."
(Male #1 starts scribbling
on a piece of paper.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I'm writing a letter."
Male #2: "Yeah you
are." (Smiles.)
(Male #1 folds the piece
of paper nine times and puts it in an envelope.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I'm putting stuff in envelopessss."
Male #2: "Definitely."
(Male #1 takes a drink of
cherry Kool-Aid and licks the envelope shut.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I lick envelopes."
Male #2: "Without a
doubt."
(Male #1 puts a stamp on
the envelope.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I'm putting stamps on my envelopes!"
Male #2: "Oh, yeah,
you're totally normal."
(Male #1 gets up.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I'm going to send out mail."
Male #2: "You for sure
are normal, but don't forget to put an address on that."
Male #1: (Looks down, understands,
becomes sad.) "Oh, I'm so normal, I forgot something. I'm normal,
I forget things."
Male #2: "Yes, that
is a trait of normal people, since you exhibit that trait, you are normal."
Male #1: "Thank you."
Male #2: "No problem."
Male #1: "I'm going
to send this out now."
Male #2: "Put an address
on it first."
Male #1: "Aw, shucks!
I forgot again! I'm so dumb...so dumb and normal."
(Male #1 scribbles on the
outside of the envelope.)
[One to three days later.]
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I got something in the mail!"
Male #2: "You're super
normal."
(Male #1 opens up the envelope.)
Male #1: "I'm normal,
I got a folded piece of paper with scribbling on it."
Male #2: "You're very,
very normal." (Smiles.)
Male #1: (Smiles.)
________________________
(The recollection ends,
and the shot fades back to the original part of the skit.)
Male #2: "Things were
so much better back then, back when you were normal."
Male #1: "Yeah, they
truly were." (Frowns.)
Male #2: (Frowns.)

[An alternative would be
to have Male #1 do several different normal things and activities, while
Male #2 still assures him he's normal.]
