Parents who neglect their children

Host in front of guest

Host

And now another sad tale from Ma and Pa.

Cut to Ma and Pa. Ma and Pa, forgot they had 2 children at home.

Ma

Well Bruce, we were spending all of our time looking for affordable furniture, but the department store prices were so high, and the furniture specialty stores were no better.

Pa

We knew we could do better than that, but we just couldn't find anyone who would give us a fair deal. We were so caught up in the search that we, we just forgot . . .

Ma

We didn't mean to leave the children at home alone for a whole week, but we were consumed.

Cut to host.

Host

But this trauma can be overcome. Here are Caroline and Arthur with their story.

Cut to Caroline and Arthur. Caroline and Arthur, formerly neglected children.

Caroline

Ma and Pa were starting to spend all their time shopping for furniture. Once they went off and left Arthur and I alone for 3 days. When they got back we told 'em, Ma, Pa, why don't you go to Bruce's Easy Rent. Ma said "We don't want to rent missy, we want to buy."

Arthur

We told 'em Bruce's doesn't just rent, they sell retail, and their prices are lower than all them silly furniture outlets with those silly TV commercials.

Host takes question from audience.

OK, so what's the catch?

Back to Caroline and Arthur who are fighting, Ma hits Arthur and they stop, turning back to camera.

Caroline

There is no catch. Low prices, 5 minute credit approval, delivery. After one trip to Bruce's we were a happy family.

Arthur

Yea, going to Bruce's sure turned out to be a happy journey to take. (aims slingshot at camera)
