Action: (Butch talking to himself)
Butch: Man, I just hate this Easter thing; Mom makin' me decorate this stupid tree!
I don't mind Christmas so much, at least decorating for Christmas isn't so sissy like...
Action: (Butch keeps messing with tree)
Action: (Sally & Liz come on stage talking to each other)
Sally: What's your family doing for Easter this year?
Liz: Probably the same thing as last year, we'll go to Church then Grandma's for dinner.
Sally: Look there's Butch in his yard.
Liz: He's cute.
Sally: Hey Butch, decorating for Easter, huh?
Butch: (turning around) Hi girls, yeah, Mom's makin me put up these silly eggs.
Liz: That's nice Butch, did you see my yard? I decorated it!
Sally: We don't decorate with all that stuff at our house!
Liz: (angrily) Why not?
Butch: I wish my Mom would talk to yours. I can't stand all this Easter stuff.
Action: (smacks tree with his hand)
Sally: We celebrate Easter for its real meaning!
Liz: I like the candy and stuffed animals, last year I got this real nice bunny that plays all kinds of nursery rhymes.
Butch: The candy is cool, (pauses) but what's this real meaning?
Liz: She's talking about Jesus, Easter is a religious holiday.
Sally: It's not religious. It's a celebration!! We celebrate the day Jesus rose from the grave!
Butch: Cool, like that movie, "Night of the Living Dead", or "The Mummy Meets Frankenstein."
Action: (Butch starts mimicking a mummy back and forth)
Action: (Butch keeps pacing making monster sounds)
Action: (Liz is laughing at Butch)
Sally: No Butch, I'm serious, Jesus died on the cross to wash away our sins,
then rose on the third day. In fact, Jesus still lives today.
Butch: That makes him a pretty old dude.
Liz: I've never seen him.
Sally: You can't see him, he lives in the hearts of believers.
Butch: What do you mean lives in their hearts?
Sally: Well, you know that little voice inside that tells you right from wrong?
Liz & Butch: Yeah
Sally: He's the good voice, when you profess you believe in him it gets louder.
Butch: So, I won't be such a troublemaker?
Liz: And I won't want to gossip.
Sally: That's a start, tell ya what, lets go to my house and I'll read the real story
of Easter from my Bible. I'm sure you'll understand when we're through.
Liz & Butch: Okay
Butch: Hey, you guys have any like, Sunny D, or surge or anything at your place?
Liz: What about diet soda, you know I'm really watching what I eat.
Sally: Yeah, we'll find something, I think we have Easter candy too.
Butch: Cool.
Liz: Hope it's those malted milk eggs!
Sally: I thought you were watching what you eat.
Liz: Oh, well...
