MAN wakes up suddenly in an empty store. Looks around, confused. On one empty shelf there sits a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
BRODY
I will give you $500 for that bottle!!!
MAN
What?
BRODY
$500, that’s the last bottle of hand sanitizer in the whole city. You take Venmo?
MAN
Well, yeah. Wait, how can this be the only bottle left in the city?
BRODY Where have you been? OK hi, my name is Brody I work in on-line sales. There was an accident which led to a virus outbreak three weeks ago, nothing serious but time is money and I have a client…
DEREK (enters with scarf around his face from the outside)
Is that sanitizer?
BRODY
Whoa, we’re in the middle of a transaction here
DEREK
I am Brother Derek from First Church and we have been looking everywhere for sanitizer.
MAN
Yes, it’s the last in the city.
DEREK
You must give it to me. Our pastors are serving all the sick people they can and they must have that sanitizer.
RICKY (pops up from behind a shelf with laptop)
Can you guys keep it down? I am trying to concentrate.
MAN
What are you doing?
RICKY
Just in the middle of my video game. Have a raid in 10 minutes so I’m completing a quick sidequest and farming for new weapons.
DEREK
When was the last time you showered?
RICKY
Like I have time for that. Don’t worry I’ve got some dry shampoo (pulls out a bag of flourec and completes actions as he explains them) a dash of this massage the scalp. A bit of this in your pits to soak up some funk and then you mix a finger full in your mouth for toothpaste.
MAN
Why don’t you just use sanitizer?
RICKY
SANITIZER!!! Oh my gosh I need that! I got sandy bits in my sandy bits just give me a squeeze.
