LIVE THEATER
Dinner with the Skillings
Thank you for joining us for another episode of "The Enron Follies," Americaâs most popular soap opera. In todayâs show we meet up with the Skillings as they have dinner.
Wife:
So honey, how was your day?
Skilling:
I donât recall. But I will do everything in my power to come to the bottom of how my day was.
Son:
Dad, can I borrow the car tonight? You said this morning that I could borrow it.
Skilling: I have no recollection of that meeting. I have no recollection of you, either. What did you say your name was?
Daughter: Dad, can you pass the salt?
Skilling:
Do you want me to pass the salt to you directly or shall we set up an offshore subsidiary in broadband salt distribution that in three to five years will be able to pass you the salt at a fraction of the speed it takes now?
Wife:
How do you like the new recipe I am trying out, dear? Itâs called Puffed-Up Profits au Lay.
Skilling:
I donât know. I will look into it and get back to you on it.
Wife:
I pieced it together from the company cookbook that we accidentally shredded with the cheese grater last week. Isn't it wonderful?
Skilling: I am afraid I have no knowledge of what you are referring to. I was either out of the room or the power went out or nobody told me about it or...
Daughter:
Mom, whatâs that smell coming from the kitchen?
Wife:
It smells like smoke. Oh, my goodness, itâs a fire! Everybody run! The house is burning down!
Skilling: This house is the great shape. I am enormously proud of the accomplishments we have made with this house. I am now leaving this house in the best condition it has ever been inâ¦
Join us tomorrow as a group of former Enron executives recite their Fifth Amendment rights to one another over and over again.
