Sample of script:

Head, Body, Leg, and Arm come on stage

Leg bumps Head

Head: Hey watch where you are going there Leg, you almost tripped me there.

Leg: Sorry Head, guess I wasn’t watching real close.

Head: Well watch more carefully, OK?

Body: Head, best take it easy on Leg, OK?

Arm: Yeah Head, guys like me and Leg we are kinda stuck way out there, we kinda are at risk you might say.

Body: Remember we all need each other.

Head: Need each other? . . .  I am the head, I have the brain, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the mouth. . .  Why would I need you guys?

Leg: Well, come over here to my side and I will show you.

Head struggles to move

Head: Come here, help me Leg, you know I can’t move on my own!

Arm: But you said you didn’t need any of us guys.

Head: Come on then Arm, you give me a hand!

Arm: Well yes, I do have a hand . . . .  two hands actually.

Body: Well, thing is, I’m not sure what hands can do for me.

Leg: Now that you mention it, I guess hands and arms don’t do anything for me either.
