CAST
Gronk, The Carpet Caveman, 50s
Oola, The Carpet Cavewoman, 50s
Bob Wilson, the Announcer, 50s

(Lights up on Gronk and Oola in their cave. These are in no way authentic looking cave dwellers. Their costumes are Rubble-esque and their wigs are quite fake. Gronk has a large plastic club that’s supposed to look wooden. Gronk is pretty much just standing there as Oola is alternating standing on one foot and making a sour face.)

OOLA

Gronk! My feet are cold!

GRONK

Gronk goes bonk!

(Gronk hits Oola over the head with his club with a cartoony bonk sound effect.)

OOLA

Our cave would be so much nicer if we had cavewall-to-cavewall carpeting.

GRONK

Gronk goes bonk!

(Gronk hits Oola over the head with his club with a cartoony bonk sound effect.)

OOLA

I’m calling The Carpet Cave people, today!

(Oola picks up a big bone phone. Gronk holds off hitting her because he thinks this is a good idea and nods. The announcer steps out holding as many carpet samples as possible.)

BOB WILSON

Make your dank, cold cave into a warm, happy cave with a new carpet from The Carpet Cave. Throw rugs, floor mats, shags, weaves, waterproof, weatherproof, spill proof, whatever proof you need. Call today!

(Bob Wilson steps back offstage. We focus on Oola and Gronk enjoying their new carpet.)

OOLA

Our new carpet from The Carpet Cave makes my feet happy. What do you think, Gronk?

GRONK (raises his club)

Gronk says…(puts club down) that’sa nice!

(He hits her anyway. There is no cartoony sound effect. The announcer begins to speak and she looks pissed. He looks increasingly more uncomfortable.)

BOB WILSON (VO)
