Here's my version:
Python: I'm Python
VB: I'm Visual Basic
Zoom in on VB
VB: Visual Basic .NET supports object-oriented and event driven
programming. It also has just in time compilation for better
performance.
Pan to Python
Python: Well Python emphasizes the importance of programmer effort over
computer effort.
Zoom out to capture both VB and Python
VB: Yea, but Python has less than ten percent of the programming market
share...
Scheme steps into frame
VB: Oh, look it's Common Lisp.
Scheme: I'm not Common Lisp! I'm Scheme! I'm tired of you guys getting
us confused.
Python: Sorry dude, you look just like Common Lisp.
Scheme: I look as much like Common Lisp as VB .NET look like Altair
BASIC.
VB: You know, Altair BASIC was Microsoft's first product.
Scheme: Yea... I know.
Fade out
VB: You know, you look just like Common Lisp.
Scheme: Shut up!

Pretty good. :)
My additions:
[Common Lisp enters]
VB: I'm seeing double.
Scheme and CL: SHUT UP!
Scheme [to CL]: Still bloated?
CL [to Scheme]: Still non-portable?
[Python slowly steps backwards, VB looks around blankly.]
Scheme [to CL]: HYGIENE!
CL [to Scheme]: UTILITY!
[Scheme and CL fight. Lambdas and parens fly. Reader macros and
defsyntaxes are thick on the ground. VB gets cut by a wild sharp-quote and
faints upon seeing his own blood. Python ducks and covers.]
[A sign bearing the name 'Arc' falls on the ground, right between the
fighting pair and Python. Scheme and CL notice this and look at it.]
Scheme: Do you smell something?
CL: Yeah. Vapor.
