Zack and the Author at the Book Signing
Title: Zack and the Author at the Book Signing
Scene:
(Zack is standing in a long line at a book signing table, where a famous author is sitting, smiling at the crowd as she signs her books.)
Zack:
(reaches the table, looking hesitant) Hi! Can I get your autograph?
Author:
(smiling) Of course! Who should I write the dedication to?
Zack:
(To Zack, the best reader who has never read any book in his life!)
Author:
(stops writing, looks at him in surprise) You’ve never read any books? Then why are you here at a book signing?
Zack:
(smiling slyly) Because I love the smell of new books and I enjoy free gatherings!
Author:
(laughs) Well, what about reading my book? It might be fun!
Zack:
(flips through the book quickly) Ah, it looks great! But do you have an audiobook version?
Author:
Yes, there’s an audiobook version. Do you like audiobooks?
Zack:
(seriously) No, but I like to play them in the background and pretend to be cultured in front of my friends!
Author:
(laughs hard) Well, I’ll sign your book, but you have to promise you’ll read at least one page!
Zack:
(raises his hand as if swearing) I promise! I’ll read the cover page!
(They both burst into laughter as the author signs the book for him.)
End of scene.
