MOPEY MACKIE'S DISCOUNT FUTONS FOR LESS!
ENTER HERE FOR FUTONS!
MAN ON SIDEWALK:
ENTER HERE FOR FUTONS!
I would like to see your selection of futons.
MAN IN DOORWAY:
There are no futons in this building.
MAN ON SIDEWALK:
(Pause) I wish to see the futons. From the sign, the futons.
MAN IN DOORWAY:
There are no futons. These signs are left over from the previous occupants.
MAN ON SIDEWALK:
Sir, you have wasted my time. For goodness' sake, sir, take down these signs forthwith.
MAN IN DOORWAY:
I wish it was that simple. These signs are unbelievably sturdy (space-age fibers), and their supports interfere all into the innards of the building. I've asked everyone, and the only way to take down the signs would be to demolish the entire city block.
MAN ON SIDEWALK:
…
MAN IN DOORWAY:
The cheapest alternative would be to paint the signs over with black paint. It would cost $200,000, and it would wear away after five hours.
