Sample of script:

actors are decorating room, all decorations are up very high.

1 and 3 come on stage

1: Hey all, what’s happenin’?

2: Well, duhhhhhhh! It is October!

1, confused: Uhh, yehhhhh, OK. I am guessing this is a traditional October ritual where folks hang decorations so high that only those standing on a chair could possibly see them? Is this a local October ritual in Muskogee or is this imported from the cultural capital of the known world, Oktaha, Oklahoma?

3: Who’s birthday is it?

4: Pastor Dilbert. He is turning like . . (pause, thinks), way old! No one rightly knows for sure just how old actually.

1: Do old people like Pastor Dilbert still get a birthday every year?

2: What you talkin’ about? All folks get a birthday every year, no matter even if they are old like Pastor Dilbert.

1: Unfortunate is what.

2: Unfortunate? What’s unfortunate?

1: Seems like if a person has been around as long as Pastor Dilbert the only fair thing would be to let them skip a year every once in a while.

3: Now that there would be a sight to see!

1: What where would be a sight to see?

3: Pastor Dilbert skipping. Him as tall as he is, would for sure be bouncing off the ceiling!

2: My guess is that 1 meant skipping as going from one hundred and six to one hundred and nine, that kinda skipping.

3: D’ya think?

2: It’s a take it to the bank kinda thingie.

1: Still never told me why the decorations are so high up.

4: Well, it is for Pastor Dilbert cause when he walks around he is way tall.

3: Upwardly mobile you might say.

1: OK, so that explains the decorations up high, but why are they showing so much wear at the top?

4: The party is for Pastor Dilbert and he is showing . . ..

1: . . . . some wear at the top, I get what you are driving at.

2: Follically challenged you might say.
