"The Famous Dinner Table"

Summary:

In school they gave us these worksheets with an exercise to practice writing dialogue, published by The Peanut Gallery 2012. The first part of the exercise is to brainstorm a setting, and then a guest list as well as some topics of discussion. This was my take on it!

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

_____________________

Bill: ~Welcome everyone and thank you for celebrating Barack Obama's graduation here in our simple back yard.
Harry: Please, take a seat at the dining table!
Snoop: Thank very you much.

(Everyone sits down and starts to eat.)

Snoop -> Bill: How does it feel like to own a private plane?
Bill: It feels great, it's like a childhood dream come!
Harry -> Barack: So, Barack, how many lifeguards have you hired during your time as the president of the US?
Barack -> Harry: Oh, gosh! It is a number too high to remember. I have at least three outside my room while I sleep...
Snoop: Ehh, dude, isn't that creepy? They can rape you and stuff!
Bill: It's for security purposes, rich people like us are in constant danger.

(Harry brings food to the table with the use of magic.)

Snoop: Damn, how does that stick thing of yours even work?
Harry: With magic, dude! Why are you even here, why did you start rapping?
Snoop: I needed money to buy coke, bro!
Barack: But coke isn't that expensive, it' rather cheap...
Snoop: Are you really that stupid?
Barack: I don't understand, do you mean the 33cl cans or the 1L bottle?
Bill: You really don't know, do you?
Harry -> Bill: Come on Bill, don't be some hard on him.
Snoop: It's the good kind of coke ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Barack -> Snoop: Oh, you mean the bad for your health and illegal kind of coke!
Snoop -> Barack: Now you get it!
Bill: Did it really take you that long to figure it out?
Barack: But it can't cost that much, right?
Harry: Enough said about drugs (and stuff)!
Bill: Let's talk about money!
Barack: I think I have more money than all of you guys combined!
Harry: I starred in one of the world's most famous movies, don't think so!
Barack: I'm the president of the U.S!

(Barack slams his fist on the table)

(Harry is pissed)

(Harry pulls out his magic stick)

Harry: Don't say a word, or I will transform you to a horse!
Barack: I have more money than you!

(Harry transforms Barack into a horse)

Bill: Let's end this night before anyone dies!

Notes:

So many inconsistencies (like Harry being confused with actor Daniel Radcliffe), and stereotypes (Snoop Dogg being "intoxicated"). It is ridiculous, what I've once written, but I wanted to keep it as it is.
