Sample of script:
Adam comes on stage, looks in “mirror”
Adam: My, my, I do look good!
Lynn comes on stage, watches Adam
Lynn: Got something on your chin Adam?
Adam: Where, what do you see? . . (looks in mirror) . . . Nothing on my chin I tell you!
Lynn: Then what are you looking at in the mirror?
Adam, proudly: Just looking at my gorgeous self!
Lynn: No conceit in your family, you’ve got it all. . . But I have to hand it to you, nice to see you won that modeling contest.
Adam: Thanks Lynn. Speaking of looking good, I hear things are going great for you on the track!
Lynn: Yep, awesome! . . I won gold in the 500 meter at regionals.
Adam: Good for you, and I read in the paper you’ve never been beaten in any race this season.
Lynn: I have a good coach and I have been training really hard.
Charlie comes on stage, playing with a rubiks cube
Lynn: Here comes the brainiac! . . . Hey Charlie!
Charlie, ignoring Lynn: I am having trouble figuring this out!
Lynn: Earth to Charlie, come in Charlie!
Charlie: Oh sorry Lynn, Mom bought me this advanced Rubiks Cube and it is some challenging I tell ya!
Adam: Well if you are having trouble just think how much trouble the rest of the world would be having.
Lynn: My Dad always says, “How come you couldn’t be a math wizard like Charlie?”
Charlie: Actually Lynn, math is a piece of cake, but this silly thing has me some puzzled!
Adam: Wow, trigonometry is no problem but a puzzle has Charlie puzzled! Wow!
Spencer comes on stage
Charlie: Hey Spencer, how is our hometown hero?
Spencer, uneasy: I am OK.
Lynn: I haven’t talked to you since the fire Spencer, just want you to know how proud I am to have you as a friend, for all you did.
Adam: Me too Spencer, I’m looking forward to being there when they give you the Lifesaving award.
Spencer: Well fact is I am a bit embarrassed with all the attention, fact is I will be kinda glad when it’s all over.
Charlie: You deserve it Spencer, what you did took a lot of courage, helping that kid when her clothes were on fire.
Spencer: Fact is, anyone would have done the same, I was there when it happened, that’s all.
Charlie: Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn’t, but you did.
