Person 1 enters. Person 2 is already on set watching TV.
Person 1: So what are you watching?
Person 2 is in a daze while watching the TV. They don’t hear Person 1.
Person 1: (Louder) Person 2! What are you watching?
Finally Person 2 hears Person 1.
Person 2: What?
Person 1: What are you watching?
Person 2: The TV silly!
Person 1: Funny. You’re real funny!
Person 2: What do I watch everyday at this time?
Person 1: Captain Kangaroo?
Person 2: Now who’s funny?
Person 1: I know, everyday it’s, When the Earth Moves…
Person 2: As The World Turns!
Person 1: Whatever!
Person 1 walks over and gets a sheet of paper and pen and begins to write.
Person 1: You shall not have no other God’s before me.
Person 2: What? What are you talking about? What are you writing?
Person 1: Just making you a little check list.
Person 2: What kind of check list?
Person 1: (Pointing to the TV) I believe that could be classified as a carved image.
Person 2: Are you making a law list?
Person 1: Sometimes we need people to show us our faults. God has called me to mission. You, Person 2, are not living for God’s approval!
Person 2: Why you! I’ll tell you what I think…
Person 1: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Person 2: Don’t forget you shall not murder!
Person 1: Hold on there. You need to calm down. (Person 1 grabs his Bible) Proverbs 29:22 says, “An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.”
Person 2: Then you better get another sheet of paper because you are about to do a lot of writing. That is if you will be able to!
Person 1: Hey, don’t get mad at me if you can’t follow the rules.
Person 2: Oh, and you can?
Person 1: Well, I don’t mean to brag but…
Person 2: …where did you get that pen?
Person 1: Pen?
Person 2: Yeah, that pen you’re writing with?
Person 1: Ah, well I don’t know. I mean I don’t remember.
Person 2: You shall not steal!
Person 1: Whoa, are you calling me a thief?
Person 2: I think I better start my own list.
Person 2 grabs the paper and pen from Person 1
Person 1: Well listen, Mr. Bentley can afford another pen. Matter of fact he’s not going to miss that at all with all the money he has.
Person 2: (Writing) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
Person 1: Wait! I didn’t covet!
Person 2: That had covet written all over it! (Showing the list to Person 1) Look, do you want to see?
Person 1: (Turning away) I don’t want to see anything!
Person 2: (Picks up the Bible and reads) Matthew 12:22, “Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind…”
Person 1: Demon-possessed?!
Person 2: Hey, don’t get mad at me if you can’t follow the rules.
Person 1: Follow the rules? I’m very good at following. And I don’t think I’m seeing the respect for your man that Paul talked about. You’re an Old and New Testament rule breaker! You’re just not good enough!
Person 2: Are you serious? Mr. straight and narrow! Mr. I walk through the eye of the needle! Mr. I’ve never broke one so I’ve never broke none! Let me tell you. YOU sir, are just not good enough!
Person 1 and Person 2 begin to wrestle over the list, pulling and tugging, until finally Person 1 says…
Person 1: That’s it! I’m getting out of here!
Person 2: Where are you going?
Person 1: To do some good works. I need to balance out my law list!
Person 2: Hold on I’m going with you!
They exit.
