Sample of script:

Day 4 – John 14:15, Obey
“If you love me, you will obey what I command.”

Hunkalunk is sitting on stage, chin in hand, sad. Adams and Michaels come on stage.

Adams: Hi Hunkalunk!
Hunkalunk (feeble response): Hey.
Michaels: How’s things on this beautiful day, Hunkalunk?
Hunkalunk: K.
Adams: Something wrong, Hunkalunk?
Hunkalunk: I’ll be OK in a bit, just sittin’.
Michaels: Anything we can do to help?
Hunkalunk: Not unless you can get me back to Goose Feathers, Iowa in the next... (checks watch) ...next 14 minutes.
Adams: 14 minutes? That would likely be very hard to do.
Michaels: Why do you need to get back to Goose Feathers, Iowa in the next 14 minutes?
Hunkalunk: Just the biggest day of the year in Goose Feathers, Iowa is all.
Michaels: And the day is...?
Hunkalunk: NFL day is all.
Adams: You have a National Football League day in Goose Feathers, Iowa?
Hunkalunk: “National Football League day”? Whyever would we have a National Football League day, we don’t got no football team or nothin’.
Michaels: But you just finished saying you are having an NFL day.
Hunkalunk: Yah! NFL! New Friends Lunch day.
Adams: New Friends Lunch day? What is that all about?
Hunkalunk: You mean to tell me you guys don’t celebrate NFL day where you’re from?
Michaels: Closest we come is Super Bowl Sunday.
Hunkalunk: Like that would rank anywheres close to New Friends Lunch day!
Adams: Tell me, Hunkalunk, what do you do on New Friends Lunch day?
Hunkalunk: Well, different towns have their own ways of celebrating New Friends Lunch day, but in Goose Feathers, Iowa every man, woman, child, and Newfoundland dog are expected to make a new friend...
Adams: The Newfoundland dogs get involved as well?
Hunkalunk: Well duhhhh... the Newfoundland dogs were the ones that first started NFL day in Goose Feathers, Iowa!
Michaels: Should I dare ask how that happened?
Hunkalunk: Work with me on this, guys! New... Found... Land. N for “new”... F for “found”... L for “land”! New. Found. Land. Do I have to spell it out for y’alls? You fellers do seem to have trouble with concepts, doncha?
Adams: Sorry about that, Hunkalunk... Now after every man, woman, and child make a friend...
