(Lefty the Salesman is behind a blue background, holding a Christmas present.)
Lefty the Salesman: Let's see here, I think I'll try to sell this present here to Horace...well,...maybe John Goodman...or even Drake Bell,...
(Harvey Kneeslapper enters, giggling)
Harvey Kneeslapper: Oh hi! You the salesman?
Lefty the Salesman: Riiiiiigggghhhht. I'm the salesman. My name is Lefty.
Harvey Kneeslapper: (trying to cover his laughter) Mmm-hmm. I'd like to buy this present you're holding for six bucks! (laughing)
Lefty the Salesman: What say?
Harvey Kneeslapper: (stops laughing) Oh. Oh. I say I'd like to buy this present you're holding for six bucks! (giggling so hard)
Lefty the Salesman: Well, you've said the right price of this item! You wanna buy this present?
Harvey Kneeslapper: I sure do!
Lefty the Salesman: OK. Give me your six bucks, please.
Harvey Kneeslapper: Alright! Here are your six bucks! (gives Lefty six fake colored dollars made of paper, from the Monopoly game.)
Lefty the Salesman: Hey, hey! Whoa-you supposed to give me six real bucks, NOT the colored bucks.
Harvey Kneeslapper: Well, perhaps, we can do a trade together! I'm getting this present from you,-(takes the present from Lefty)
Lefty the Salesman: Hey! Give it back to me! You didn't pay for it, yet!
Harvey Kneeslapper: (giggling) and here is the 'six' you can keep for a while before you sell it to someone else. (slaps the number '6' onto Lefty and laughs wildly, ending music) THE NUMBER '6'!!!! (To Lefty) DID YOU GET IT? (leaves while laughing hysterically)

That was great, though I think Lefty should have made a "shhh" sound to Harvey when he laughed. I was expecting Harvey to give six male deers.

Well, here's the better, funny transcript of this sketch.
Reminder: No live animals are permitted to this sketch.

Lefty the Salesman: Let's see here, I think I'll try to sell this present here to Horace...well,...maybe John Goodman...or even Drake Bell,...

Harvey Kneeslapper: (trying to cover his laughter) Mmm-hmm. I'd like to buy this present you're holding for six bucks! (laughing)
Lefty the Salesman: SHHHHHHHHH! What say?
Harvey Kneeslapper: (stops laughing, softly) Oh. Oh. I say I'd like to buy this present you're holding for six bucks! (giggling so hard)
Lefty the Salesman: SHHHHHHHHH! Well, you've said the right price of this item! You wanna buy this present?
Harvey Kneeslapper: I sure do!
Lefty the Salesman: OK. Give me your six bucks, please.
Harvey Kneeslapper: Alright! Here are your six bucks! (gives Lefty six male deer plush dolls.)
Lefty the Salesman: Hey, hey! Whoa-you supposed to give me six real bucks, NOT the male deer.
Harvey Kneeslapper: Well, perhaps, we can do a trade together! I'm getting this present from you,-(takes the present from Lefty)

(Lefty keeps hushing Harvey down as Harvey left.)

The redone skit is good, but I would like to say that you don't have to rewrite a sketch just because one person mentions something that would have been better. I don't normally rewrite my fan fictions based on other peoples suggestions. You should write what you want, not just what other members want to read.
