ROYAL DUTCH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION (concept/scenario/voice)
Back
Yes... yes... no I understand... 1998 in Utrecht. OK... yes I'll think about it. Amazing, isn't it? You sit at home waiting for the phone to ring. Nothing. And then you get three offers in three days. That was the Royal Netherlands Hockey Association. If I would be their mascot for the 1998 World Cup in Utrecht? Well I said that might be a bit difficult. I've already been offered the World Garden Gnome Throwing Championships as well as the qualifying group round Formula Three Rickshaw Finals in downtown Manhattan. I'm, terribly sorry... I haven't introduced myself. Frockey... that's me. Frockey. Professional mascot. Anyway these nice Dutch people have sent me a book where they've set out all their claims. A lot of fine promises in here. But what does it all add up to in practice? I mean, I'm not going to become a mascot to any old championship. For example, the event will be held in Utrecht. Now where is Utrecht?
