Drama Games- Gibberish Translator

You need 4 people plus an audience. Two people sit in two chairs side by side each other. The other people stand to the side of each chair on the edges. The two people in the chairs are arguing about something. But the twist is that they can only speak Gibberish  The people on the edges are translators. In some versions, the Gibberish speaking are given a relationship, or a topic to argue on. The conversation goes something like this:

Gibberish 1: Blah, blah blah blah blah blah.
Translator 1: Cats are way better than dogs.
Gibberish 2: Muh muh muh muh muh mumumuh!
Translator 2: No way! You have no reason to think that!
Gibberish 1: Blah.
Translator 1: Yes I do! Cats are cleaner, smaller, and quieter. They can get their own food and they don't require that much attention. Dogs are smelly, messy, hungry, hyper, and big. You can't possible think they are better than cats.

Good example? Yes, I think so. You might ask though, how does blah translate into all of that? It doesn't matter. As long as they are arguing and translating. But watch out, don't get ahead of yourselves.
