Debate Skit Script

So as an exec on my school's debate team, I have to write a short script on debate life as promo material for niner recruitment. My topic is on Debate Crushes and also on bad debate pickup lines... enjoy! 


DEBATE CRUSHES & BAD PICKUP LINES (Debate Skit)

Setting: Classroom just before a round starts.
Characters:
Love Struck Debater:
Object of Affection:
Judge:
Partner of LSD:
Partner of OoA:
Props:
-        Desks & Chairs
-        Notes and Debate binders
-        Gavel
-        Debate wear

Scene starts at the end of prep time: two debaters are madly prepping at their desks - or at least one of them is madly prepping - the other one is gazing out into the side, jaw slack and eyes dreamy. The object of his affections is a rival debater who is oblivious to his affections (cue the dreamy music and the instagram filter effects).

The judge calls the round to order with a bang of his gavel and the love struck debater snaps out of his trance.

Judge:          I now call the house to order. May the Prime Minister stand up to give
her speech.

Object of affection walks up to the podium. (Dreamy music, slow motion walking, instagram filters, etc. Love struck debater ogles at OOA)

OOA:           Today as the house we present to you the resolution THBT -"

LSD stands up abruptly in a POI and interrupts.

LSD:            THBT you and I belong together.

OOA:           I - excuse me - what?

LSD:            Girl, my love for you is more deep than my constructive.

OOA:           (angrily) AS I was saying, we propose the resolution -

LSD:            I propose to you.

Judge:          Order! (Bangs on gavel)

LSD:            I wish I was the gavel and you were the judge so you can bang me just as
hard.

OOA :          (gasps)

LSD:            You're like the tabs and the trophy - everyone wants you.

OOA:           And you're like the fourth place in BP, no one wants you.

LSD:            I guess I'll iron man then - but you know what else is as hard as iron?

LSD's
partner:        (head in arms groans)

OOA:           (deadly whisper) I. Am. So. Going. To. Kill. You.

LSD:            You wouldn’t want to kill such an amazing master debater.

OOA:           (growls, fist clenched)

Scene cuts. 

Last scene is of LSD being kicked out of the room by a high heeled leg.
