(Lights come up on a small restaurant.There a few tables in the room.A sign says food and spirits.Below that sign is a hand written sign that says, And we don't mean the alcoholic kind.On a daily special board it reads, Boo Bugers, Sance Sandwitch, Boo Berry Pie.The cleaning lady, SAL, is sweeping up.Hears something.Freezes. Looks around nervously. Nothing. She shrugs, shakes her head, and continues to clean.One of the owners, PATSIE, enters nervously and looks around)

PATSIE

Hello? Any ghosts in here?

PAUL

(Follows PATSIE in)

You can relax, Patsie.The ghost busters are here.

PATSIE

This isn't funny, Paul.

PAUL

Paying money to have these guys come on scare our ghosts is what's funny.

PATSIE

As long as they get rid of them, that's all I care about.

(First enter JAQUE.He is in a suit, slicked back hair, and carries some electronic gadgetry.MONIQUE follows.MONIQUE is an older lady that's flamboyantly dressed and looks around at nothings like a cat)

JAQUE

I'm getting some strong readings here.

MONIQUE

(Rushes to him dramatically)

Let me see.

(Looks)

Yes, excellent.Exactly as I expected.THIS is the room.

PAUL

Brilliant.We already told her that on the way in.

PATSIE

Hush, Paul.

JAQUE

(Waves his gadget around)

The strongest readings are there.

(Points to a chair at one of the tables one of the audience members is sitting in)

And there.
