RFK FAST FOOD PYRAMID SKETCH (iO Theater Class Project)

INT. WHITE HOUSE: PRESS ROOM-DAY 

RFK JR. stands at a podium and taps a microphone. RFK Jr. clears his throat. 

RFK JR. 
(Raspy voice) 
Good morning America, I...excuse me for a second.... 

RFK Jr. clears his throat again and then takes a sip of water. RFK Jr. taps the microphone again. 

RFK JR. (CONT’D) 
(Normal speaking voice) 
Christ, sorry folks. I just got over a wicked cold. Sounded like I smoked a million Marlboros back there. Anyway time to announce the new food pyramid. With my good friends over at the fast food industry. 

COLONEL SANDERS, RONALD MCDONALD, THE BURGER KING, and WENDY walk out together and stand behind RFK Jr. 

RFK JR. (CONT’D) 
You see America, you need to eat more fats, meats, and diary. And these guys know a ton about fats, meats, and diary. Let my man Colonel Sanders speak on this important news. 

Colonel Sanders gives RFK Jr. a hug and then walks over to the microphone. 

COLONEL SANDERS 
Good evening all. Now Mr. Bobby Kennedy Jr. here is speaking the gospel. With these new health guidelines, and with some help from the fast food lobbyists, now it is recommended for you all to finally eat all the healthy fats that you want. Maybe, dare I even say, at your local KFC. Any questions? Yes, you miss, in the red shirt. 

FEMALE RED SHIRT REPORTER holds a notepad. 

FEMALE RED SHIRT REPORTER 
You all can’t be serious? How is eating more fast food going to make Americans healthier? 

Colonel Sanders waves his finger. 

COLONEL SANDERS 
No, no, no, we ain’t saying eat more fast food. We’re saying, eat more meats and fats. 

WENDY 
And diary, like a good cold Frosty at Wendy’s. 

Female Red Shirt Reporter shrugs. 

FEMALE RED SHIRT REPORTER 
Again, this doesn’t feel right. 

COLONEL SANDERS 
Next question, how about you sir in the back. 

MALE REPORTER holds his hand in the air. 

MALE REPORTER 
Hello, I’m with the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Ronald McDonald, how can you live with yourself by supporting Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when your beloved friend Grimace is autistic? 

Ronald McDonald taps Colonel Sanders and takes his place up at the podium. 

RONALD MCDONALD 
Grimace is indeed autistic and our good friend RFK Jr. is very close to curing him. And...oh God damn it! 

THE HAMBURGLAR sneaks into the press conference and steals a bag of McDonalds hamburgers and runs away. 

RONALD MCDONALD (CONT’D) 
Sorry folks, but The Hamburglar is up to his old tricks again. I got to go... 

Ronald McDonald chases The Hamburglar around the room. FEMALE RED SHIRT REPORTER gets up. 

FEMALE RED SHIRT REPORTER 
My next question is for the Burger King, you were clearly in the Epstein files. Explain yourself! 

Burger King hums “Creep” by Radiohead. Colonel Sanders taps his cane. 

COLONEL SANDERS 
I do declare, that is enough. How dare you say that our dear friend The Burger King is in the Epstein files. Be no better than saying that I...I will just cut myself off there. Bobby boy, get your...oh crap. 

A worm is sticking out of RFK Jr. ’s ear. 

RFK JR. 
Oh God, please stop making me do this Mr. Wormy! My family loves me you lying sack of... 

COLONEL SANDERS 
Damn it Bobby boy, have you ever seen a doctor bro? 

The worm goes back inside RFK Jr. ’s ear. 

RFK JR. 
Sorry Colonel, I, RFK Jr. and not that devilishly handsome, Mr. Wormy are in control of myself again. And, live from New York it’s Saturday night!
