LORENZO
I thought you’d never make it! I was getting scared.
REAGAN
Sorry about that. Chase, you have the keys, open the door.
CHASE looks down to the ground.
MADISON
Chase, you brought the keys, right?
CHASE
There has to be more than one set of keys.
LORENZO
I didn’t know there were ANY set of keys anymore.
LINCOLN
They were under the grill. Chase, stop playing games.
CHASE
I don’t have the keys.
ADAM
You had them last time we left.
SAM
Chase, you can just head back to our place and get them, right? We can wait.
CHASE
I don’t know where the keys are.
LORENZO
See? I’m not the only ones who can lose keys!
HARRY
At least you left the doors unlocked so you could still come and go as you pleased.
LORENZO
This is no big deal. I actually didn’t feel like cooking today so it works pretty well.
HARRY
Except if you can’t find the keys, you’ll never be able to get into the restaurant again.
MADISON
We can all look for it, I guess.
HARRY
I think this is on Chase. Chase, chase the keys.
CHASE
Lame puns are my thing, not yours.
ADAM
Chase, retrace your steps. We’ll all follow you.
CHASE
Alright...
ADAM
When was the last time you remember having the keys?
CHASE
Well...
SAM
Uh oh.
CHASE
I may have been to a place I wasn’t supposed to be.
MADISON
I’m sure it couldn’t be that bad.
CHASE
I found a baseball and got curious.
LINCOLN
Enough with the half-comments, just tell us where you think you may have lost the keys.
CHASE
Baseball stadium.
LORENZO
Please don’t tell me it’s where the Indianapolis Primates play. I don’t want to have to pitch!
HARRY
Alright, first, it’s the Indianapolis Primitives. Second, why would you possibly have to pitch if there’s no game going on?
LORENZO
You never know, there might be.
HARRY
You’re on the team and I inexplicably have a job there to serve you food, I’d think we’d know.
ADAM
Enough everyone. Let’s just walk to the field and hope we find the keys there.
LORENZO
By the way, Harry, I’m sorry you didn’t get elected to be a state representative.
HARRY
For the last time Lorenzo, I never ran. I can’t lose if I don’t run. But you guys can have fun without me. Same goes for finding the keys.
LORENZO, CHASE, ADAM, SAM, LINCOLN, MADISON, and REAGAN all walk to the baseball field while HARRY stays in the general vicinity of Lorenzo’s Kitchen.
CHASE
Thank you, everyone, for trying to help me find the keys. I’ll give a prize to the person who finds them.
LORENZO
I like prizes!
CHASE
I figured.
LINCOLN
So you’re saying the prize is solely available to give Lorenzo an incentive to try?
CHASE
You bet it is. The prize is free cotton candy.
LORENZO runs faster than he ever has, looking everywhere for the keys.
MADISON
Now that he’s out of the way, let’s all calmly look for the keys.
SAM
Hey Madison. If I find the keys, I’ll let you take half the cotton candy.
MADISON
Cool, I’ll do the same for you.
LINCOLN
I want half the cotton candy!
CHASE
Seriously guys?
LORENZO comes running back to the ground.
ADAM
Did you find them??
LORENZO
No, but I had the weirdest vision that I had a ton of cotton candy and became the bullpen coach and went drunk with power. I’m done looking.
CHASE sees HARRY walking up to the group.
CHASE
Harry! You decided to help!
HARRY
No I didn’t! The keys were on the bench near Lorenzo’s Kitchen. You all failed.
MADISON
Guess I can’t have half the cotton candy now.
HARRY
What cotton candy? And you all need to do a better job at keeping track of the keys.
LORENZO
Thank you Harry.
LORENZO walks over to HARRY to take the keys.
HARRY
Not so fast. If you lost them once, what will stop you from losing them again?
LORENZO
Um...I don’t know.
HARRY
Exactly. I get to keep the keys. Merry Christmas everyone.
HARRY turns his back before anyone else can say Merry Christmas. Everyone leaves.
