THE CASE OF THE GREATER GATSBY INTERSTITAL 1 - ELLEE’S PIZZA PARLOR TRANSCRIPT

[Jaunty music plays]

Announcer: Fig and Ford will return next week with a brand new episode of The Case of the Greater Gatsby. For now, a brief word from our sponsor.

SFX: The sounds of a lively PARTY.

Announcer: We've all been there before. You're invited to a costume party on Friday night and you've left your getup to the last minute! That's where Mr. Connor's Hat Haven comes in!

Party Girl: Mr. Connor's what haven?

Announcer: Hat Haven! You can find hats in every size, shape, color, and texture! Buy a few and you can change your ensemble all night long. The partygoers will love it!

Party Guy: Hey, weren't you wearing a different hat earlier?

Announcer: Haha! I'll never tell.

Party Girl: Wow! Cool fez!

Announcer: I know!

[The SWISH of the announcer putting on a different hat.]

Party Guy: My my, that trilby really has captured my attention!

Announcer: Thanks! (to audience) Switching out hats all night will distract you from thinking about the fact that the host of the party probably invited you last minute because they had originally forgotten that you exist entirely and then saw you on the street earlier this week and gave you a pity invite which is why you had so little time to work on your costume in the first place!

Silence.

Party Girl 2: Goodness me, is that a British Bear skin hat?

Announcer: Haha! YES!

Party Girl 2: I wish I could have as many hats as you have!

Announcer: You can! Head to Mr. Connor's HatHaven! And, for a limited timeonly, buy ten hats, get a free fan!It won't catch on fire!

Announcer: Mr. Connor's Hat Haven! (singing) Buy 10 hats, get a free fan!
