Prompt:
[INTRO – ANNOUNCER]
Tonight's debate!
The Entertainment Party!
And...
The Boring Party!
[APPLAUSE]
BORING PARTY:
Please stop applauding.
[APPLAUSE GETS LOUDER]
BORING PARTY:
This is precisely the problem.
[VERSE 1 – ENTERTAINMENT PARTY]
You say the world is far too loud,
Too much excitement, too much crowd,
You dream of quiet, grey and plain,
A life without a hurricane!
But people need a little thrill,
A roller coaster, neon hill,
A paradise, a perfect place,
A shining future for the human race!
BORING PARTY:
We have no interest in paradise.
Paradise has maintenance costs.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
You can't be serious.
BORING PARTY:
We are extremely serious.
[CHORUS – BOTH]
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Give them a paradise!
BORING PARTY:
No.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Give them a dream!
BORING PARTY:
No.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Give them an island
Where everything gleams!
BORING PARTY:
We built an island.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Aha!
BORING PARTY:
It is functional.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Aha!
BORING PARTY:
Quiet.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Aha!
BORING PARTY:
And extremely boring.
[VERSE 2 – ENTERTAINMENT PARTY]
Then tell us why the tourists come,
From every city, everyone!
They cross the sea, they book their rooms,
They photograph your empty rooms!
Your little island sells out fast,
The waiting lists are months and months!
You call it boring, but the world
Has made your boredom number one!
BORING PARTY:
The buses arrive on time.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
That's not entertainment!
BORING PARTY:
The sewage system works.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
That's not entertainment!
BORING PARTY:
The food is affordable.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
That's definitely not entertainment!
BORING PARTY:
People sleep very well.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
STOP MAKING BORING SOUND ATTRACTIVE!
[CHORUS]
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
You built the world's most popular resort!
BORING PARTY:
We built a town.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
You built the world's most exclusive retreat!
BORING PARTY:
We built some houses.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
People pay to do absolutely nothing!
BORING PARTY:
That is their decision.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
They're having fun!
BORING PARTY:
That is unfortunate.
[VERSE 3 – BORING PARTY]
We never promised happiness.
We never promised thrills.
We promised buses,
Libraries,
Parks,
And reasonably priced bills.
No fireworks every evening,
No festival each week,
No motivational speakers
Telling people how to seek...
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Seek what?
BORING PARTY:
Nothing.
[BEAT DROPS]
BORING PARTY:
That is the point.
[VERSE 4 – ENTERTAINMENT PARTY]
Nothing?!
That's your grand philosophy?
Nothing?!
That's your utopia?
You say that boredom is the cure,
But people come from everywhere
To experience your boring shore!
BORING PARTY:
They come because there is nothing
they are required to experience.
[PAUSE]
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
...
That's actually quite clever.
BORING PARTY:
Please don't say that.
[FINAL CHORUS – BOTH]
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Maybe boring is a luxury!
BORING PARTY:
No.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Maybe quiet is the new thrill!
BORING PARTY:
Please stop.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Maybe your boring little island
Is the greatest show on Earth!
BORING PARTY:
It is not a show.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Everybody loves it!
BORING PARTY:
That is not our fault.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
Everybody wants to go!
BORING PARTY:
We have a waiting list.
ENTERTAINMENT PARTY:
HAHA!
BORING PARTY:
We are trying to reduce it.
[APPLAUSE]
BORING PARTY:
Please stop applauding.
[APPLAUSE GETS EVEN LOUDER]
BORING PARTY:
This is getting very entertaining.
[EVERYTHING STOPS]
[FINAL LINE – WHISPER]
BORING PARTY:
...I resign.
[HUGE APPLAUSE]
