: Scene at a Yard Sale by Bill Schott










Pons and his cousin Ned meet at a yard sale.

Ned:   Wait! Is that what I think it is?

Pons:  What do you think it is?

Ned:    Is that a 1938 Ford?

Pons:  No. It's an Avon bottle that looks like a car.

Ned:   Yeah! It looks like a 1942 Ford.

Pons:  I thought you said it looked like a...

Ned:   C'mon! I realized that during WWII they probably made cars out of other things than steel, which was needed in the war effort.

Pons:   So, you think they made them -- out of glass?

Ned:    It's not out of the realm of possibility.

Pons:   It's not?

Ned:    What's that you got in your hands?

Pons:   An Avon bottle.

Ned:     It couldn't be a compact 1942 Ford?

Pons:    Who would drive it?

Ned:      People who were shrunk to fit it.

Pons:     People who were -- what?

Ned:      Didn't you ever read Fantastic Voyage  where the people got shrunk to fit in
              a hypodermic?

Pons:    That's fiction.

Ned:      There was a war on. That information
              was secret.

Pons:     You read it though.

Ned:      It's obviously been declassified.

Pons:    How would someone drive a bottle?
             There's no engine. The tires are glass.
             The interior is empty.

Ned:      I'll bet it smells good though.

I'm putting these Pons and Ned scripts back through to get an idea of how they compare to each other.
