Characters:

Pat( Mid to late 20s, questionable employment, lax morals, perpetually high strung, hates banana flavored things.)

Brant( Jamba Juice employee, super chill, kinda a bro.)

Brant: (In a bored, clearly rehearsed tone ) Welcome to Jamba Juice, from the makers of Juumanga Jam, would you like to try the new Jahama Mama smoothie?

Pat: (Distracted, reading the menu) What? No. Uh… Hey! Do you guys have any smoothies that don’t have banana in it?

Brant: Is it an allergy or a preference?

Pat: Huh? I just don’t like banana and it seems like all the smoothies have banana in them.

Brant: Yeah.

Beat

Pat: So… Do any NOT have banana?

Brant: Probably.

Beat

Pat: Such as…?

Brant: Hm?

Beat

Pat: (sigh) Fine! Let’s try this. What’s in the “Taste of the Tropics” smoothie?

Brant: Coconut, Pineapple, and Banana.

Pat: And the “Live Well Live Now” smoothie?

Brant: Assorted wild berries, lemon grass, added protein, and Banana.

Pat: And the “Citrus Blend?”

Brant: Lemon, Lime, Orange, and Banana.

Pat: Why the hell does the Citrus Blend have banana in it?

Brant: Because it’s a blend of all four citrus fruits…

Pat: Banana is NOT a citrus fruit!

Brant: Sure it is. Lemon, lime, orange and…

Pat: Grapefruit.

Brant: Banana. Huh?

Pat: Grapefruit. Grapefruit is the fourth citrus fruit.

Brant: That sounds fake.

Pat: Okay… How about the “Dream-Team?”

Brant: That’s pretty much just banana.

Pat: Then why’s it called a TEAM? Nevermind! The “Very Cherry” smoothie?

Brant: Cherry and banana.

Pat: The “Olde Timer?”

Brant: Root-beer and banana.

Pat: “Over the moon?”

Brant: The space ship is a banana and the moon is two bananas.

Pat: GAH! Isn’t there anything I can buy?!

Brant: Well… There is one thing…

Pat: Please! What is it? You know what? I don’t care. I’ll take one. Fuck it! I’ll take two.

Brant: Okay… Two Chocolate-Banana smoothies…

Pat: I need you to be straight with me(reading Brant’s name tag) Brant? Does the Choc-o-late Ba-nan-a smoothie contain banana?

Brant: I don’t know. I’ve never had it.

End.
