Sample of script:
Frog is in the room. Toad enters with balloon.
Toad: Frog! See what I have. I have a beautiful balloon that I am going to give to my good friend, Snake.
Frog: Hello, Toad. That is a very nice balloon
Toad: Yes it is. But I am worried about it. Do you think it is big enough?
Frog: The size isn’t important, Toad. Don’t worry. It’s the thought that counts.
Toad: I guess you are right. I will not worry about the size of my balloon. But I don’t know what colors Snake likes. Do you think I should get another color?
Frog: Snakes are color blind, Toad. Don’t worry about the size or the color. It is a nice balloon.
(Frog gradually grows exasperated with Toad as the dialogue progresses)
Toad: You are right. I will not be anxious about the size or the color of my balloon.
