I found another assignment for philosophy... this one is better than the last..
It was an assignment where we had to act out a theory of certain philosophers. We chose to act out John Locke's theories of the Ownership of Property.
Cast:
Kyle - Hooker
Tanzeeb - John (heavy stereotypical accent)
Tyler - Pimp (VERY pimp, with fake bourgeois styles)
Scenario: John is approached by a 50cent hooker, and without any agreement, verbal or otherwise, agrees to "hook up." After the deed is done, the hooker demands the money, but then the john gets pissed because he thought it was supposedto be free. The hooker calls in "her" pimp, who attempts to explain the legality behind tacit agreement. The Pimp mentions the legality, the enforcability, and the binding of tacit agreements to the jogn. John rejects the proposal and instead decides to attempt to hook up with a friendly "woman" across the street (played by Oskar). Unfortunately for the john, the pimp pimps that one too. Improvise at will - add all the mannerisms of your character in each line!
Hooker - Hey baby, you wanna hook up?
John - well hello pretty lady! Lets get busy, no?
Hooker - (looks to audience) Some privacy, please???
*goes around corner* - Porno Grooves from Tyler off stage
John - (coming from around the corner) Mister Boombastic, they call me fantastic....
Hooker - Hey mister, where do you think you're going?
John - what? you want some more? Woman, you have some damn fine stamina!
Hooker - No, silly! *flips hand* I want my money!
John - what money? What you want dowry money? we did not get married!
Hooker - Oh stop it! My services don't come cheap you know! what we just did is gonna cost you 50 cents!
John - Oh my goodness! You take away my libido, and now you want to take away my life savings? No, I will not pay!
Hooker - ok, I guess I"ll just have to call my sugar daddy!
*Pimp struts over*
Pimp - now what's the problem here?
Hooker - This deadbeat here wont pay up!
John - Damn right, I'm not paying! we never talk about money! You wanted some Mr. Boombastic, I gave you some fantastic Mr. Boombastic! You should be paying ME!"
Hooker - Oh, as if! *twirls around, "shows off" body*..
...
you see where this is going...
anyway, I thought that it was a clever presentation... Zeeb, Tyler, and I were known for our presentations in that class after that! And we looked forward to giving them!
Until next time.......
