The recent study on the "important" families, those of "quality" (as they used to say before our revolution), and the spending on investment in presidential candidates, made me think of the early years of Saturday Night Live. I cannot really write dialogue, but here is a skit idea. Maybe you can flesh it out.
Setting: A nice mansion "cabin" high in the French alps.
Time: The afternoon of American Thanksgiving, dinner time.
People: A mother and father with their son and daughter have just sat down to eat, servants waiting on them.
Cast:
Chevy Chase, father
Jane Curtin, Mother
Gilda Radner, Daughter
Bill Murray, Son
Waiters: Laraine Newman. Garrett Morris, and that week's music guest, Patti Smith)
From the beginning to the end of the skit, the Son's is ignored by all, while he spends all his attention in a vigorous interaction with a game on his smart phone.
Mother to Daughter: Dear, what do you want for Christmas this year?
Daughter: I want my own president!
Mother and father chuckle and say what do you really want?
Daughter: I WANT A PRESIDENT! AND HE WILL BE JUST MINE AND YOU CAN'T TELL HIM WHAT TO DO!
Mother: What would you ever do with a president?
Daughter: HE WOULD DO ANYTHING I ASKED HIM TO DO. First he would make sure that where ever i looked, i saw ponies, and...ah unicorns!
Father: Sweetly, you know that it is very hard to get a president. We have to work with other families, for a couple years for to get one.
Daughter: THAT NOT FAIR! YOU AND MOMMY ALWAYS GET YOUR OWN PRESIDENT WHEN YOU WANT ONE!...
Take it from there...
