KELLY

(Very rubato, over-dramatic, over-the-top expressionistic)
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING BRIGHT
I NEED SOME ENERGY TO START MY DAY RIGHT.
CRACKLE-E BRAND GIVES ME LOTS OF POWER AND SPEED.
CRACKLE-E BRAND GIVES ME ALL THE VITAMINS I NEED…

CRACKLE-E
IT‘S EVERYONE‘S FAVORITE BREAKFAST CEREAL
CRACKLE-E.

Let's have a whack at the- what on earth is that smell? (Tracing it to the source, spotting Benny,
puffing away, oblivious. To Benny) Excuse me. Wanna put that out, please? SAGs got a policy.

BENNY
