Creative Business Environments

Scene: End of dinner at a Chinese restaurant. A plethora of empty dishes and umbrella drinks adorn the table. Ted opens and reads his fortune cookie out loud.

Ted: 'You use your creative talents to transform a business environment.' [laughter] "Finally a fortune cookie that’s accurate!"

Fresno Frank: "Ted, I think it would be more accurate to say your professional buffoonery lends levity to business situations and allows creative potential to emerge."

Ted: "They say there's a fine line between something and something else."

Fresno Frank: "Yeah, that and the Court Jester served a similar role in medieval times by inserting humor and not letting the King and his court take themselves too seriously. The Jester was the only one who could make suggestions that transcended conventional wisdom and allowed for breakthroughs in thinking."

Ted: " Hmmm, . . . ." [Ted's voice fades away]

Lights fade, curtain drops. Scene end.
