Blast from the Past...

Recently I was reading a script for a play I was in last year called; Cheaper By the Dozen.

What a great memory!

Here is an excerpt from the Script:

Backdrop: Anne, the oldest girl in the family, has skipped dinner and is missing an exam while at a movie with her boyfriend Larry. (And a brother, Bill, (10?) as a chaperone). This is the scene where she gets back home.

========================

[For a moment, the stage is empty. Then the door L Opens. Bill bursts in and moves to C stage. He acts very much put-out. Then Anne enters L, turns back, and calls.]

Anne. Come on in Larry.

[Larry, a nice looking boy, enters L somewhat hesitantly.]

Anne [smiling at him]. Just- my house.

Bill. I'm starved.

Anne [irritably]. Well, go eat.

Bill. Don't worry. And don't think I didn't notice.

Anne. Notice what?

Bill. Remember that silly part in the movie? [They nod.] That part all about-[With distaste]-love? [Continues, accusingly.] I saw you hold hands.

Anne [gasping]. That's a lie! [Bill folds his arms and glares.]

Larry. If anything like that happened, for maybe ten seconds, it was because of the movie and entirely involuntary.

Anne [turning towards Larry wistfully]. It was?

Larry [nodding]. it was that kind of a movie.

Anne [swallowing her disappointment]. Oh.

Bill [to Anne]. See?

=========================

Just a nugget for y'all. =)

Let me know if y'all want anymore!
