Parachute Skit

Notes:

scouts should sit with scout in back, then smart man, then president, then pilot in front.

Script:

Pilot: (to arriving passenger) Good afternoon. Please tell me who you are so I can cross-check our passenger list.

President: (quite importantly) I am the President of the United States.

Pilot: Welcome aboard, Mr. President. Please take a seat.

Pilot: (to arriving passenger) Good afternoon. Please tell me who you are so I can cross-check our passenger list.

Smart Man: (very importantly) I am the Smartest Man in the World. I've just been awarded this wonderful 'Smart Guy' award and I'm heading to my laboratory to think about important things.

Pilot: Welcome aboard, sir. Please take a seat.

Pilot: (to arriving passenger) Good afternoon. Please tell me who you are so I can cross-check our passenger list.

Person: I am a Scout on my way to [make up something specific for your group].

Pilot: Welcome aboard. Please take a seat.

Pilot: (takes seat in cockpit) This is your pilot. We are cleared for take-off. Please buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.(plane takes off and everyone looks out the windows for a few seconds.)

Pilot: (looks nervously at controls. Taps instruments, then addresses passengers) I'm sorry to report that we have a major malfunction. The plane is losing altitude and we will crash in 2 minutes. We will need to parachute to safety. Please follow me.(as he walks to rear of plane, president, smartest man, and scout fall in behind him.)(pilot counts parachutes and addresses passengers.)

Pilot: I have more bad news. We only have 3 parachutes.

President: (pushing past pilot to rear and grabbing a parachute) I am the President! My country needs me! (and he jumps out)

Smart Man: (pushing past pilot to rear and grabbing a parachute) I am the world's Smartest Man! I must live so I can do important things! (and he jumps out)

Pilot: (to scout) Well, there's only one chute left. You take it. I guess the pilot will go down with his ship.Scout : Actually, there are 2 chutes left.

Pilot: Really? How is that possible?

Scout : Well, the Smartest Man in the World just jumped out with my knapsack!
