Talent Agent Foster Valley meets with his favorite ventriloquist partnership, Hot & Crispy, to deliver some news that might make at least one member of the team insecure and the other insignificant.   Part one of two.

Preparing for the meeting:

Foster: Go put your name tag on and finish setting up the chairs, please.

Myrna: Yes, Mr. Valley.  Any particular side you’d like it?

Foster: No, right in front.

Myrna: That could be a problem.

Foster: For who?

Myrna: Well, it’s really not intended to be anything other than fashionable, but you see how my top has a slightly revealing neckline?  

Foster: No.  And we don’t talk about things like that here …

Myrna: Myrna.

Foster: Myrna.  About our clients, yes, because, a revealing neckline, even slightly can make a difference in certain casting opportunities, but not with the staff.  And more importantly, why are you telling me this?

Myrna: Because putting it right in front here would mean it would have to be partially on my chest skin.

Foster: Chest skin?  What are you talking about?

Myrna: The location of my name tag.  For it to be right in front, means, it goes right here on the skin on my chest part.

Foster: I was thinking about the chair.  Not the name tag.  The chair goes right in front.  Of me.  Of my desk.  So that I can look Tommy right in his eyes.  The name tag you can put on the side.  Of your chest part skin.
