What is an example of a skit?

Title: "The Office Mishap"

Character:

- Bob: An employee who is prone to accidents

- Sarah: Bob's Colleague

[Setting: An office workspace with cubicles]

[Bob is seen sitting at his desk, looking through some files]

Sarah: (Walk in and notices Bob) Hey Bob, how's it going today?

Bob: (looks up) Oh hey Sarah, Things are not going well.

Sarah: What happened this time?

Bob: (sheepishly) Well you know how I'm always a bit clumsy.. I accidently knocked over the water dispenser!

Sarah: (laughs) Oh dear. How did that even.. ?

Bob: (gestures his hands) Well, It was one of those days. I didn't see it coming.

[Sarah's laughter grows louder as she imagines the scenario]

Sarah: (in between laughter) Did it flood the whole office?

Bob: (nodding) Oh, It was a disaster! People were slipping and sliding everywhere. You should've seen the boss slipping and landing in a pile of papers!

[Bob and Sarah continue to crack up]

[Suddenly, Bob's phone rings]

Bob: (picks up his phone)Oh, hold on that might be the boss!

[Bob and Sarah try to contain their laughter as Bob answers the call]

Bob: (on the phone) Hello?.... Oh, Mr. Johnson? Yes, I'm doing fine. How about you?.... About that water dispenser incident, Well let's just say its one for the books!

[Sarah can't help but snicker hearing Bob's conversation with the boss]

[They glance at each other and break into laughter again.]

The Skit ends with Bob covering the phone receiver, giving a mischievous smile to Sarah, indicating their shared secret about the " Office Mishap"
