Bible Reference: 1 Samuel 17, 1 Samuel 16:1-13

Sample of script:

CO (Captain Ordinary) and Batboy are talking as they come on stage

CO: So anyhow, my mom says, “Where ever did you guys come up with that story?”

Batboy: You have got to be kidding me CO!

CO: I tell you Batboy, those were my words, right down to the very last question mark!

Tanya rushes on stage

Batboy: Well I gotta tell you, never in my whole life have I heard anything coming even close to that!

Tanya: Excuse me . . .

CO and Batboy ignore her

CO: I tell you Batboy, some of the stories I could tell you, why just last week . .

Tanya: Thank goodness I have found you, you just gotta help me, I got this . ..

CO: Excuse me . . .?

Tanya: I need a super hero, and quick!

CO, laughs: A super hero . . . I don’t think you will find a super hero around here. Do you know any super heroes Batboy?

Batboy, chuckling: Nope, CO, no caped crusaders in my back yard.

Tanya: Stop clowning around Robin . . .

Batboy: “Robin”? For why are you callin’ me “Robin”?

Tanya: Well your name is Batboy . . You know . . . Batman . . . Robin . . . Batboy.

CO: Hey, that’s rich! “Meet me in the Batmobile, Batboy!”

CO and Batboy doubled over, laughing, Tanya very frustrated

Tanya: You aren’t Robin? Then give me one good reason that you are called “Batboy”.

Batboy: I can give you two actually. . . One my actual name is Cornelius, and I hate that name. . . . Two, I am the batboy on our division twelve baseball team, the Glue Guys, and so the name just kinda, well, stuck.

Tanya, to CO: So are you saying that if he isn’t Robin, then likely you aren’t Batman?

Batboy, laughing: Batman!
(sings theme song)
Da da da da da da da da, Batman!
Now that is rich CO!

CO: Batboy, to the bat cave!

Tanya: Would you two stop clowning around, I am in serious trouble and I was told I would find a super hero here.

CO: Sorry if you were misled . . .

Tanya: Tanya.

CO: Hi Tanya. But I am surely no super hero.

Batboy: Sure that whoever sent you here didn’t say “standard hero”?

Tanya: “Standard hero”?

CO: Yep, I am one of the local standard heroes, pleased to know you; folks around here call me CO.

Tanya: CO?

CO: Yep, stands for Captain Ordinary.
