Excerpt (Sample)

(The character of Shawn should speak in a “hip-hop,” type of “back street” way.) 

George:           Shawn!  Wait up, I want to talk to you for a minute. 

Shawn:            (enters) Hey it’s my main man, Georgie Porgie.  What’s up dawg? 

George:           I’ve asked you like ten times not to call me that.  My name is George.  Just George. 

Shawn:            Man, you’re too sensitive.  You need to lighten up.  Now, “Just George,” what can I do you for? 

George:           (sighs) I want to talk to you about Randa. 

Shawn:            Man, I already know what’choo goin’ to say. 

George:           You do? 

Shawn:            Yeah.  I mean did you see the way that chick threw the ball from first base over to second?  Dude, my grandmother can throw better than that! 

George:           That’s kind of what I wanted to discuss. 

Shawn:            I knew it!  I knew not all you guys liked having girls on the team!  Okay, here’s what we do: at the next practice, I’ll “accidentally” throw the ball real hard at her elbow.  She’ll be out for the rest of the season! 

George:           No! That’s not what I was talking about at all! 

Shawn:            You’re right, that’s a little harsh.  Okay, I’ve got it: we get all the guys together and tell the coach we’ll all quit the team if he doesn’t get rid of all the chicks! 

Flo enters 

Flo:                  Who are you calling a “chick?” 

Shawn:            You!  (clucks like a chicken) Bawk, bawk! 

Flo:                  George, I thought you said you were gonna talk to this guy? 

George:           (to Flo) I’m trying to.  (to Shawn) Look Shawn, I know you’re new here and all, but you can’t go around saying things like that? 

Shawn:            Like what? 

George:           Calling girls “chicks,” for one thing.  They don’t like it. 

Flo:                  Yeah, it’s very rude! 

Shawn:            I’m sorry, babe, I didn’t know it bothered you that much.  

Flo:                  I’m not your “babe” either.  My name is Flo. 

Shawn:            So Flo, let me ask you a question: aren’t you afraid you’re going to mess up your hair or something playing baseball? 

Flo:                  (in disbelief) What? 

Shawn:            Don’t take offense babe, I mean, Flo.  It’s just that girls should be cheering on the sideline instead of playing
baseball.  You know what I mean? 

Flo:                  No, I don’t know what you mean!  I can play baseball as well as any guy out there. 

Shawn:            That’s unlikely. 

Flo:                  Why is that? 

Shawn:            Because you’re a girl.  Everybody knows guys play ball better than girls.
