Sam and Doreen come on stage, talking

Sam, to Doreen: Yah like I say Doreen, I would really like you to come to my church with me, Pastor Ron is leading the Bible study and he is like an awesome discussion leader. (notices Tracy) Hey there Tracy, good to see you man! (to Doreen) Doreen, this here is Tracy, Tracy goes to my church too. (to Tracy) Will you be at Bible study tonight Tracy?

Tracy, amazed: Like I am gonna miss Ron’s Bible study, I mean Ron is like awesome!

Sam, to Doreen: Isn’t that what I told you Doreen? (to Tracy) I invited Doreen to come to Bible study.

Tracy: Hey that would be way good, hope to see you there Doreen.

Sam, looks at Tracy’s painting: So whatcha doin’ here Tracy?

Tracy: Isn’t it awesome? I am painting a lovely picture for the covers of Bibles we are handing out at Bible study. Everyone will want a Bible when they see the covers I have painted for them.

Sam, not convinced: Well, I guess . . .

Tracy: You guess? You mean you don’t like my painting?

Sam: Oh, no question, I love the painting, likely the best painting I have ever seen in my whole life, but . . .

Tracy, frowns: “But” what?

Sam: Well, it’s just that I personally believe we will get a lot more mileage outta my medallions.

Tracy: Medallions? What’s medallions?

Sam: Well, see, I designed these really knockout medallions, see here, (holds up medallions) . . .

Tracy: They look OK I guess but what’s that got to do with my painting, and people wanting Bibles and all?

Sam: Well see, thing is . . I designed these medallions to decorate the Bibles we hand out, so that folks will for sure want to have a Bible. I am convinced with these medallions on the cover folks will like be real crazy about the Bibles.

Tracy: You mean to say that you for honest think folks will be more impressed with Bibles decorated with these . . cheap coins . . than with my deco art?

Sam, annoyed: “Cheap”?. . . You are calling my . . . works of art . . . “cheap”? Why I will have you know that . . . .

Doreen, who has been watching the other two, starts to move off stage

Sam: Doreen, where are you going? I thought you were coming to Bible study with us.

Doreen: Nah, I think I will pass.

Tracy: Pass? Why wouldn’t you want to come to our Bible study, you will learn neat things from the Bible.

Sam: Yeh, and we give a brand new Bible to all first time visitors . . . And as you heard, the Bible will have my handmade medallions on the cover.

Tracy: Even better, you can choose a Bible with my incredible painting on the cover.

Sam, angry: Tracy, I will have you know that it was I who first approached Doreen, I am sure Doreen would be much more likely to treasure a Bible featuring my medallions, wouldn’t you Doreen?
