PETER: |
Hello, John. What are you doing here? |
|
JOHN: |
Hi, Peter. I've come to see Mr. Brilliant. |
|
PETER: |
Mr. Brilliant, the famous theater agent? |
|
JOHN: |
The same. |
|
PETER: |
Then you've finally perfected your act? |
|
JOHN: |
After two years of hard work, at last I have done it! I've finally succeeded in training an ant. |
|
PETER: |
So you've trained an ant! Amazing! |
|
JOHN: |
I have worked sixteen hours a day on this act. But Little Andy is sensational... |
|
PETER: |
Yes, it's worth all that hard work to produce an act like that, my friend! Just think! You're the first man in history who has trained an ant. |
|
JOHN: |
I'm sure Little Andy will soon be known throughout the whole world. |
|
PETER: |
You're a lucky man. You'll be famous. You'll be rich. |
|
SECRETARY: |
Excuse me, Mr. Miller, you can go into Mr. Brilliant's office now. |
|
JOHN: |
Thank you. (Pause.) Oh, miss, Mr. Brilliant isn't at his desk. |
|
SECRETARY: |
He's in the other office. He'll be back right away. |
|
JOHN: |
Look, Peter, this is perfect! I'll get Little Andy's act ready while Mr. Brilliant is out of the room. |
|
PETER: |
Good idea! He'll be surprised when he sits down at his desk and sees your ant doing his act. |
|
JOHN: |
OK. Little Andy is ready to begin. First, he'll stand up on his front feet on top of this little ball. |
|
PETER: |
Amazing! Can he really do that? |
|
JOHN: |
Sure. And that's not all! He waves a flag with his hind feet at the same time. |
|
PETER: |
Incredible! But... I can't see what he's doing. |
|
JOHN: |
Oh... I almost forgot the magnifying glass. With the magnifying glass you can see the whole thing and really enjoy his act. |
|
PETER: |
OK. Where's the glass? |
|
JOHN: |
Let's see... it was here in the suitcase... |
|
BRILLIANT: |
Good afternoon, gentlemen. What can I do for you? |
|
JOHN: |
Good afternoon, Mr. Brilliant. I'm John Miller. I'm here to show you the most amazing act in the world! |
|
BRILLIANT: |
Marvelous! Show me what you have. |
|
JOHN: |
All right! Take this magnifying... |
|
BRILLIANT: |
Oh!... uh... there's an ant on my desk... I'll get him... (Slap!) |
|
JOHN: |
Ohhh! Nooooo! ... |
|
BRILLIANT: |
There! I got it! And now, my friend, let's see this amazing act! |
|
JOHN: |
Ooohhhhh! |
