A Touch of Religion.

C.
OK, you clown, I see you.

PA. (feints surprise)
Oh, hi, Capt'n.

C.
Where's the play?

PA.
Play?

C.
Don't give me that. The play we're going to sell to the University Experience Day crowd.
(see a touch of colour ed.)

PA.
Well, it's a little harder than I thought. You see, you have to find the right bits and sort of make them fit. I was going to do it last weekend but I had to do some stuff for the President.

C. (not happy)
President! What (FX - beeep overrides) president?

PA.
The President of the Bendigo Film Society. Their free screenings are this weekend.

C. (with some authority)
Look boy, you best decide who you work for. No man can have two masters.

PA.
I don't know who said that, but he should try working here and see how many masters he's got. It would try the patience of a saint, much more so a dreamer of good quotes.
(takes positive attitude) Anyhow didn't I sort the change out?

C. (relaxes)
Yeah, that was a laugh. Fancy asking on staff-dot-soc if people can change thirty dollars of silver. Talk about setting yourself up!

PA. (laughs)
Yeah I guess I did a bit. Got stacks of replies. The best was from the Priest. He wrote
Hmmmm!!! 30 pieces of silver!!! who have you sold this time?????.

C.
Priest! What ... (about to swear, but good breeding shines through) priest would that be?

PA.
Well, he's not a real priest; he's a priest in a play.

C.
Yeah I know, "Dimboola". They're doing it at Eaglehawk.

PA.
It's a bit of laugh really, imagine people at Eaglehawk taking the micky out of people at Dimboola. Strikes me, if you think about it, there's hell of a lot more scope for people at Dimboola to take the micky out of people at Eaglehawk. Perhaps we could write a play and call it "Eaglehawk", do it the other way around, a Mick bloke marries a Prodie sheila.

C.
Perhaps you could get to work and do the play we planned on last week.
