From the audience, Miller periodically yells out forward or reverse, at which the pair switches its temporal direction and tries to replay their scene line for line and movement for movement, sometimes pushing beyond the scene's original boundaries and creating new material on the fly. As it played out, a discarded witch's broom ends up in France after a mysterious trash collector dumps his truck out on an international flight runway. The broom finds its way through various characters to the Eiffel Tower, where it falls into the hands of the unappreciative celebrity. Farrell discards the broom, which is then picked up by a love-crazed housekeeper, Rosario. Rosario returns to the US with the broom, which is eventually returned to the witch.
Improv comedy is like being in on some great inside jokes.
ER medicine is his calling, and it's a great source for comedy. The kind of humor that emerges from improv scenes like this is very different from the humor of quotable stand-up routines or late night monologues. It's like being in on a series of good inside jokes. The spontaneity can be exhilariting. Good improvisers react quickly, listen carefully, and remember everything.
