My Pen

youtube.com

An unassuming office employee (Bruce McCulloch) melts down upon realizing his pen has gone missing. After rejecting an inferior replacement from his manager (Scott Thompson as Ms. Unloop), he recalls lending the pen to a customer (Kevin McDonald) minutes earlier. The employee dashes outside in time to see the customer step into a taxi. He chases the vehicle down a major downtown street in Toronto and leaps onto the passenger side, pounding on the window and yelling "My pen! My pen!" When the cab finally stops, the confused customer apologizes and returns the item - a simple 90-cent BIC pen. The employee then collapses on the street from exhaustion. Ms. Unloop appears to wrap him in a blanket. The sketch ends back at the office, with another customer asking to borrow the pen. After the employee agrees, we pull back to reveal the pen is now secured to his head via an elaborately fashioned helmet and chinstrap.

My pen! My pen!
It was in my pocket before!
Heard you lost your pen—maybe you lent it to someone
