Unfailing Companion

Carrie thinks she’s found the one. Long walks, deep conversation… until the reality of her “romantic” relationship unravels in awkward, comedic ways. Fortunately, her friend Deb is there to offer truth wrapped in grace—reminding Carrie that the most dependable companion isn’t a man at all, but the God who never fails.

Perfect for women’s ministry, single life discussions, or messages on trust and identity, Unfailing Companion is both funny and tender, pointing us back to the One who’s never too busy, too distracted, or out of reach.

Sample Script:

Both actresses enter stage left, speaking as they walk toward center stage.

CARRIE:
I am telling you, Deb, this guy is the one!

DEB:
Well, I am happy for you, Carrie. I really am.

CARRIE:
Isn’t it wonderful?
I’ve finally found someone to talk with, go for walks with, and take long car rides with!

DEB:
Sounds like Skipper’s the one for you!

CARRIE (confused):
Skipper? Skipper’s my new collie I just got from the shelter!

DEB:
Yeah… aren’t we talking about your dog?

CARRIE (upset):
No! We most certainly are not talking about my new dog!
I was talking about my new boyfriend!

DEB (mocking):
Right, your new boyfriend. What was his name again?

CARRIE:
I’ve told you a million times! His name is Dirk!

DEB (aside):
I would’ve preferred Skipper, if it were me!

CARRIE:
What did you say?

DEB:
Oh, nothing! Tell me more about Dirt.

CARRIE (frustrated):
That’s Dirk! Not Dirt!

DEB (chuckling):
Sorry!

CARRIE:
Anyway, he is just wonderful!
Why, just last week we went to that new movie I was talking about.

DEB:
But… I thought you said you saw that movie alone.

CARRIE:
Oh, yes—I saw it alone.
There was just a little mix-up in the ticket line, and Dirk didn’t hear me say that I had bought a ticket to Gardens of Tomorrow, so he bought a ticket to Biker Rumble.

DEB:
Well, I’m sure they would’ve changed your ticket if you asked.
What did Dirk say about it?

CARRIE:
Well, funniest thing.
When I tried to tell him that we wouldn’t be in the same movie, he just kept walking toward his theatre as if he didn’t hear me.

DEB:
Again, he didn’t hear you.

CARRIE:
Poor guy. I think it’s an inner ear thing.

DEB (sarcastic):
Yeah, that’s it.
Well… did you check out that new coffee shop afterward?

CARRIE:
I sure did!
It was so busy I waited in line for 45 minutes before they called “table for one.”

DEB:
A table for one?
Let me guess—Dirk didn’t hear that you wanted to go there?

CARRIE:
Oh no, that’s not it at all!
After I waited in line for 45 minutes, he remembered he had plans already and headed off to that new restaurant on 4th Avenue.

DEB:
He left you there in line… all by yourself?

CARRIE:
It wasn’t like that at all!
This is how sweet he is—he ran down the street and brought me back a bus ticket, just so he knew I’d have a ride home.
What a romantic!

DEB (sarcastic):
Incredible.
Do you plan on hearing from him again?

CARRIE:
I’m expecting a call any day now.

DEB:
If you’re so anxious about him, why don’t you call him?

CARRIE:
Funniest thing!
He was saying that his phone won’t accept calls from 431 numbers, and…

DEB (interrupting):
Let me guess—you have a 431 number?
