Sample of script:
actress comes slowly on stage, comes to the front, nervously starts to speak
Good evenin’, chapter members. My name is Melentintinia and I am , (big sigh, nods
head affirmatively). . . a single.
It’s not easy for me you know, comin’ out to these here meetings. I mean, who would
ever have thought it, I, Melentintinia Territostigard, the one voted in grade three the gal
most likely to succeed, would be here, attending, (another big sigh), SA.
SA. Singles Anonymous.
Wow! I mean, I remember what my momma used to always say:
“You’ll get you a fine man Melentintinia, you just watch! Looker like you’ll have no
troubles snaggin’ a man! Just you go hang a pair of men’s coveralls over the bedpost and
pray for God to fill ‘em!”
Well I am here to tell ya, further in life I go, more I am takin’ to believin’, either the
coveralls they are the wrong size or else the bedpost is way too tall for the wimpy little
guys God has been sendin’, doncha see?
Look, I don’t want for you to get the idea I don’t get no dates or nothin’. I mean, ol’
Frank Weber, the assistant down to Herbison’s Meat Market and Taxidermy, he asked me
out not that long back. We’s was gonna go see the movie down at the Highlights
Cinema, we was. (pause) Frank he had to cancel out though, truth to tell. Ol’ Frank he
phoned me, said he had a big rush on Rhode Island Red roosters. (pause) Fact is, not
sure I totally bought in on his story. I mean, how many folks in these parts go hog wild
about havin’ a stuffed ol’ chicken mounted on their dinin’ room wall?
I don’t know, some say I oughta change my name, say that maybe the name Melentintinia
Territostigard might scare guys off. D’ya think? I was toyin’ there for a minute with
maybe somethin’ ultra modern, fancy schmancy.
