The Greatest Commandments
Butch: (Enters stage whistling, then talks to friends passing by.)
"Hey dude"(nods head) "hey girl," "whats up" " 'tsappening man" "you're cool you're cool" (keeps on until Liz comes in)
Liz: (Enters and interrupts Butch) Hey Butch, it's the first day of school aren't you glad? We get to see all our friends again. Did your Mom bring you to school too?
Butch: Rode my skateboard, Mom had to work really early.
Liz: You're Mom has to work now?
Butch: Yeah, but it's not that bad. She makes my lunch and leaves chocolate milk in the fridge for me. The nursing home shifts are really a drag for her though.
Liz: (mocking) You mean she really works at that place!
Butch: (defensively) Why, whats wrong with that?
Lil: It's just all those old people. They can't even get up to go to the bathroom, GROSS!
Butch: Somebody has to take care of them.
Liz: Look at that, here come the kids from Section Eight. Look whose getting off the bus... (giggling) It's Nancy, wearing that same dress she wore to the dance last year...
Butch: Hey, that's not cool Liz. You shouldn't act like that.
Liz: (Laughs) There's Matt, no "Nikes" for him. Look,Wal-Mart shoes.
Butch: (getting angry) Hey, I got my cool skater shoes at Wal-Mart!
Liz: I'm embarrased to go to school with those kids.
Butch: Jesus taught us to not make fun of, or discriminate against others!
Liz: Well, I'm just playing around. Anyway, What did Jesus say? (being snotty)
Butch: He said the two greatest commandments are; "Love the Lord your God With all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
The second one is; "Love your neighbor as yourself." That's from Mark12:30-31.
Liz: (very arrogant) Those kids aren't my neighbors. They live in that Government Housing. I live in a nice house on Nob Hill.
Butch: Your still not getting it chick, when He said neighbors it means all other people!!!
Liz: (repentant voice) Well, I'm sorry, how do you know so much about what Jesus said anyway?
Butch: The Word! You have to read The Bible, not just go to Church, I even bring my Bible to school so I can read at lunch. Jesus wants us to obey his word.
Liz: (repentant voice) Do you think I could eat lunch with you? I want to hear Gods Word so I'll quit being so mean and hateful.
Butch: Sure thing chick, and you can have some of my liverwurst sandwich too!!!
Liz: I think I'll pass on that, I have my own lunch to eat.
Butch: See you at lunch!!!
Liz: (while exiting stage) Don't let the principal see your skateboard!!!
Butch: Don't worry, I'll stash it in the bushes!
