| Summary: When Phyllis placed an ad looking for people who displayed the fruits of the Spirit in their character, she got the perfect applicants: The Fruit of the Loom guys. (gals) Insisting there was no difference between Fruit of the Loom and Fruit of the Spirit, Red (the apple) and the others try to prove they are the best candidates for the job. Phyllis isn't convinced until Madge, another applicant barges into her office. There was definitely something "different" about Madge, but was she the best person for the job? | |
| Excerpt: This is just a sample. Pass the Fruit
Setting: Phyllis sits at a desk, talking on the telephone. She looks over a stack of files as she does so. Phyllis: No, Jack, I haven’t found any good candidates yet, and I’ve only got one interview left. (pause) Yes, I knew it wouldn’t be easy... (pause) I understand that but you think we could find a person who exhibits at least some of the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit. (pause) No, I’m telling you Jack, from what I’ve seen today, I’ve got socks who display better characteristics than this bunch! (pause) Yes, I know...patience is a fruit of the Spirit. (pause) Yes, I’ll try to practice what I preach. (looking at her watch) Look Jack, it’s time for my last appointment so I need to go. (pause) Okay, I’ll keep you posted. Maybe this one will be it. (pause) All right, talk to you soon. Bye. (She hangs up the phone. Looking over the files one last time, she talks to herself) It certainly can’t get much worse. (A knock is heard at the door. Phyllis gets up from behind her desk and walks toward the door.) Come in. (One at a time each fruit walks in, shakes Phyllis’ hand and introduces him/her self. One of them hands her a piece of paper, representing their collective resume. Phyllis stands with a dazed and confused look on her face. Red: (Apple) Hi, nice to meet you. I’m McIntosh Apple but you can call me Red. Bunch: (Grapes) Hello, it’s good to be here. I’m Seedless Grapes, but all my friends call me Bunch. Slick: (Banana) Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Chaquita Banana but I like to go by my stage name, Slick. All 3: (they stand arm in arm) Together, we’re the Fruit of the Loom guys! (gals) Slick: At least that’s what we’re best known for. We seem to have gotten type-cast," so we’re trying to expand our image. Bunch: That’s why we’re here. We’d like to be your new fruit of the Spirit representatives. (Phyllis stands confused, mouth open, not knowing what to say) Bunch: Are you okay, ma’am? Phyllis: (regaining her composure) I’m sorry, I don’t think you’re in the right place. Red: You’re holding interviews for fruit, right? Phyllis: Fruit of the Spirit, yes. Red: Fruit of the Loom, fruit of the Spirit, what the diff? (difference) Phyllis: Excuse me? Slick: Look, you need some fruit and we need a job. Plus, we’re the best in the business. You won’t be disappointed! Phyllis: I don’t think you understand. I’m not looking for fruit, I’m looking for people who display the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit. Bunch: (with a "hands on hips" stance) Oh, don’t worry about that ma’am, we’re a very spirited bunch! Phyllis: I’m sure you’re all very nice but you’re not quite what I’m looking for. Red: Are you an equal opportunity employer? Phyllis: Yes, but.. Red: Then I think you should give us a chance. Slick: At least hear us out. Phyllis: (sighs) All right, please have a seat.
