Spilled Milk: Episode 1

Cast Members: 4

Estimated time: 5.25 minutes

(INTRO: PERSON 1 grabs some milk out of the fridge, pours the
milk into a cup, drinks a little of it, then puts it on the
counter. They turn around, but by doing so they knock over the
milk carton onto the floor, spilling it.)

PERSON 1:
Son of a bitch!

PERSON 1 tries to find some paper towels, only to find that

there are none left.

PERSON 1:
Goddamit!

PERSON 2 sits up ,having just been laying on the table.

PERSON 2:
What happened?

PERSON 1:
I spilled some milk, who was supposed to get the paper towels?

PERSON 2:
Um, that was me, my bad, I will go and get some and be right
back!
 PERSON 2 leaves. PERSON 3 enters and sees the spilled milk.

PERSON 3:
Holy shit. We need more milk.

PERSON 3 leaves.

PERSON 1:
No, wait, I’m gonna need your help- no, wait, come on!

PERSON 1 looks over to OWEN, who looks weirdly at

everything.

OWEN:
Whoa…

PERSON 1:
Before you say anything, I need your help.

PERSON 1 gestures towards to spilled milk on the floor.

OWEN:
Go get a new cup, yeah, for sure.

OWEN leaves as well.

PERSON 1:
For real? No friends in the world! It’s fine- we’ll just take care of
this ourselves.
 They talk to themselves as they gather up milk in their hands
and attempt to put the milk back in the container. He
suddenly remembers something. He opens the cupboard and
takes out a single square of toilet paper.

PERSON:
Oh, why didn’t I think of this before? The last toilet paper in
the house! Here we go, fixed it all for good!

They place the square in the middle of the milk, but it’s soaked
in seconds, so they squeeze it out in the carton. They repeat this
process multiple times, but then it they drop it into the
container, spilling more milk as they get it out he hen gets a
croissant, and starts absorbing up the milk with that instead.

PERSON 1:
Woe is me. Woe is me.

They pick up some milk in their hands again, this time slowly
edging towards the bin, trying not to spill it. They then put the
handful of milk in the bin. They do this again and again, much
faster after the first try.

CUT TO: The milk is all cleaned up, and PERSON 1 puts the
empty milk carton in the bin.

PERSON:
This all turned out pretty well…

Suddenly, PERSON 2 bursts in, bruised and bloody, holding

some paper towels.
 PERSON 2: (out of breath)
Paper towels…

PERSON 1:
Are you okay?

The doorbell rings. Person 1 answers it and PERSON 3 is

standing there holding an ice-cream sentimentally.

PERSON 3:
She always loves ice-cream…

PERSON 1:
Where have you been??

OWEN emerges from his room and holds up a piece of paper

with the word ‘cup’ on it.

OWEN:
I got cup.

PERSON 1:
What happened to you guys??
