The Overly Polite Burglar

Characters:

Burglar, a well-dressed burglar

Homeowner, a sleepy homeowner

Setting: A dark living room

Act 1:

Burglar enters the living room and starts to gather some valuable items, but stops when he sees the homeowner sleeping on the couch.

Burglar clears his throat to wake the homeowner and apologizes for the intrusion.

Homeowner is confused but thanks the burglar for being polite.

Act 2:

Burglar asks if the homeowner would like him to remove his shoes to avoid making a mess on the carpet.

Homeowner agrees, and the burglar carefully removes his shoes before continuing his burglarizing.

Burglar accidentally knocks over a vase and quickly apologizes and offers to pay for the damages.

Act 3:

Burglar finishes his work and turns to leave, but stops and asks if the homeowner needs help tucking in the covers or anything else before he goes.

Homeowner declines and thanks the burglar again for his politeness.

Burglar nods, apologizes again for the intrusion, and exits the house.

End of skit.
