For my Drama class, each person is required to turn in a duet acting piece by Friday to potentially prepare for the fall concert. This is one of the few grades we get, so it is very important. Does anyone know of any good duet acting scenes from films or books or plays (preferably of humorous nature)? I am having trouble finding something because due to my acting background. Because I am known for my involvement in drama and have won several competitions, every performance I do is expected to be amazing and over-the-top. All the duet acting pieces Ive found so far have been either cliche/over-used or just to ordinary/not funny.
Does any particular scene come to your mind? Any help would be appreciated.

I always thought Shakespeare's comedy of errors had some great comedy dialogs. Especially if you can work it out so each person plays a set of identical twins.
A scene with Frank or something, like in the movie theatre...you've seen Donnie Darko right? Not comical but cool.
OR if you are a) allowed to change a three person conversation to a two person conversation by a little editing of the piece and b) allowed to say really perverted things, do the smurf scene! That would be the funniest thing ever.
