Time:        4

 

Sample of script:

 

Randi & Joey on stage, watch as Brian comes on stage, projects talking to someone offstage

 

Brian:        Yes I am sure it is an urgent need, I’m sure it deserves our financial support!  . . . But there’s a limit to what average people like me can support. . . . Sorry, I don’t have any more to give at the moment. . . .  Sorry!

 

Randi:       Another group trying to hustle you for money Brian? . . . Seems the whole world is out to beg for money!

 

Brian:        It’s really not that Randi, I mean they are all good, worthy charities and stuff. . . . But, fact is, you just can’t support everything.

 

Joey:         What I do is figure out how much I want to spend, how many charities are out there, divide one by the other and they all get a bit. . . . That’s my way Brian.

 

Brian:        Well I couldn’t do that Joey, I mean there are some that in my mind are a higher priority than others.

 

Randi:       I agree, in our case our church is a family priority.

 

Joey:         Fine Randi, but even in the church there’s different folks pushin’ new ideas, expectin’ you’re gonna support them.

 

Randi:       New initiatives in church are good, keeps our focus on opportunities at home and around the world.

 

Brian:        You’re right Randi, but with costs going up every day hard to say which are priorities.

 

Joey:         Well before we do any good anywhere, at home or around the world, we have to, like I always say, . . .  make sure we look after the home fires.

 

Brian:        “Look after the home fires?” . . . Not sure what you mean Joey.

 

Joey:         Like my old Dad used to say . . . charity begins at home. . . . Gotta make sure you look after things at home . . . pay the salaries, church buildin’ maintenance, upkeep, all that.
