Arguing Skit

    Billy Bob:
    Well howdy'do folks and welcome back to the show here at ShowBiz Pizza Place. Now it's been said that we here at ShowBiz are known for goin' that extra mile in terms of bringing you, the customer, quality entertainment while you're feastin' yourselves on assorted delicious cullinary delights.

    Fatz:
    Uh, w-w-w-what you talkin' about Billy Bob.

    Earl:
    Uh Fatz I belive Billy Bob is tryin' a say that the management pays us to bang out a few songs while the folks out there shovels pizza down their throats.

    Fatz:
    Ban- Bang out songs? Who- who who's bangin' out songs?

    Earl:
    Yeah.

    Beach Bear:
    Well- well actually I think they had gorilla fingers in mind when they were- talking about banging.

    Fatz:
    Huh? I never- I don't bang. I don't- I would'a- had forty years of music college!

    [Dook & Mitzi Laugh]

    Beach Bear:
    Well I- well you sound- well, you sound like-
    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

    [Mitzi Laughs]

    But- I mean y'know.

    Fatz:
    Ah well every sta- let me tell you what every song you play sounds the same to me.
    It's bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

    [Mitzi Laughs]

    Dook:
    Oh- Hey-hey-hey-hey wait!

    Beach Bear:
    Bang bang bang bang bang!

    Dook:
    I- hey Fatz-

    [Mitzi Laughs]

    Fatz:
    Alright, alright-

    Dook:
    Fatz, Beach Bear, let's be nice and q-quit cuttin' eachother down that's not nice.

    Beach Bear:
    Alright 'cannot bang'.

    Fatz:
    Well let me tell you somethin' Dook all you do is sit back there and bash bang bang bang on them drums all the time-

    [Fatz bashes random keys on his keyboard]

    Dook:

    Dook:
    Oh yeah?

    Beach Bear:

    Mitzi:
    Well you know what? I never can't even hear myself sing with all you guys bangin' out there.

    Beach Bear:
    Well that's a good thing.

    Dook:
    Oh yeah? Well atleast I don't sound like Mickey Mouse with a sore throat.

    [Fatz & Dook Laugh]

    Fatz:
    Yeah Mitzi every time I hear you sing over here it sounds like-

    [Mitzi Scoffs]

    'Ouuuouuuouughouuouuu'

    Billy Bob:
    Okay, okay time out guys uh- uh ladies and gentlemen while our uh- musicians on stage here practice professional courtesy, uh- I'd like to uh suggest maybe that we do a country song y'know to sorta liven things up. Is that okay with you guys?

    [Fatz, Dook, and Mitzi begin talking over eachother]

    Fatz:
    Uhh well-

    [Fatz coughs & mumbles]

    Dook:

    Billy Bob:
    Okay! Well, y'know that's uh-

    [Billy Bob nervously laughs]

    Terrific! Everybody's really thrilled about that idea. Um- uh let's do a song to uh- to show what our friendship means, uh Looney Bird what's the next song on the list?

    Looney Bird:

    Going Downhill.

    [Dook, Fatz, Beach Bear, & Mitzi Laugh]

Going Downhill

    [Song: Going Downhill]

    Fatz: (singing)
    It all started at the corner table
    Sippin' on a Jack and Coke
    By the end of the evenin'
    We were actin' like married folk
    The weekend weakened me and took me of my will
    You got me-

    Beach Bear: (singing)
    Ahh~

    Fatz: (singing)
    A goin' downhill
    Goin' downhill

    Beach Bear: (singing)
    Goin' downhill

    Fatz: (singing)
    Yeah, still I can't get my fill of you
    I-I-I've spent all my money
    I have lost my respect
    Y-you got me walkin' in circles, honey
    I- I'm a- I'm a nervous wreck
    Lord, one step ahead of a welfare dollar bill
    You got me-

    Beach Bear: (singing)
    Ahh~

    Fatz: (singing)
    A goin' downhill
    A goin' downhill

    Beach Bear: (singing)

    Beach Bear: (singing)
    Ahh~

    Fatz: (singing)
    Well I was voted most likely
    A'back in Seventy Nine (Nine)
    I'da made it straight to the top honey (Ahh)
    All I needed was time (Time)
    But you put a somethin' on me
    So unreal, you got me-

    Beach Bear: (singing)

    Fatz: (singing)
    Yeah, still I can't get my fill of you

    I can't eat, I can't sleep, I think about you
    From daylight to dawn
    I bet I won't weigh 15 pounds
    A'when they drag my body home
    Like a junkie hooked on dope
    I'm hooked on your thrill
    You got me-

    Beach Bear: (singing)
    Ahh~
