One Takes are sketches, characters that come into being in a single moment, have their say and then go about their business. The moments include:

• Monsignor O'Brien gives us his opinion of parishioners
• Mrs. Giddings tells us why she likes being a Catholic
• Victor the Sanitation Worker tries to get his job back
• Contented White Businessman tells us why he doesn't help panhandlers
• Frango explains why artists don't need to work
