Called To Forgive

Forgive one another. That’s what we always say, but not so much what we always do.

Lack of forgiveness, and "forgetness" hurts everyone involved, yet things won't be resolved until it happens, the hurt will only be prolonged and intensified.

Sample of script:

(Parker, Riley, Jordan & Dakota are onstage, talking.)

Parker:
I am for sure looking forward to this!

Riley:
Me too, I haven’t been lawn bowling in... never actually!

Jordan:
You’ll love lawn bowling, Riley.

Dakota:
When these guys first suggested lawn bowling to me, I was like, “No one does lawn bowling except old seniors dressed in plaid shorts!”
But the first time bowling, I was hooked!

Parker:
What’s keeping Kendall? We’ll miss our game.

(Kendall enters.)

Kendall:
So sorry, guys. I ran into an old friend and we kinda lost track of time... I gotta say that Marco is one interesting person!

Dakota:
Marco? Please tell me you aren’t talking about Marco DeMental...

Kendall:
His name is Marco DeMurtry!

Dakota:
If I knew you were seeing... DeeMurky... I would have asked you to check if he has found my very favorite book – the one I loaned him and he lost!

Kendall:
Dakota, that was like four years ago, and Marco replaced the book!

Dakota:
The book I entrusted to Mario’s care had special comments on the inside cover.

Kendall:
Give me a break! All that was on the inside cover was...
“Recycled at New To You Bookstore.”

Dakota:
Fine, but the message was in a special archival ink.

Parker:
Sounds to me, Dakota, like it’s about time you forgave Marco.

Dakota:
I did, long ago.

Kendall:
Sounds like you may have said you forgave him... but you're still carrying the anger and hard feelings.

Dakota:
Say it like it is... I am still mad, of course I am.
