| Johnny: |
|
(Johnny
is packing his lovey-dovey teddy bear and while he is
doing that, he thinks of Janet.)
|
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
(Shanky
climbs up the tree house.)
Little brother you almost ready to go?
|
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
Yeah,
but I got something to ask you? |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
(Shanky
climbs into the tree house.)
What’s on your mind little bro?
I hope I’m not thinking you’re trying to take
Janet along?
|
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
Are you
psychic or something?
|
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Yeah,
I read your mind. How are we supposed to take Janet along
with us on the bus? |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
(Thinks
to himself)
We could put her in the suitcase or in a backpack. |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
(Has
a look on his face like….)
I don’t know? You think that’s a good idea?
|
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
(Starts
whining.)
Please can’t she, can’t she? I think she’ll
be a little sister for us to look after her and live a
family of three. Janet has a right to be loved by her
same kind. |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Johnny,
why do you have to put me in this position? I already
have you to look after? We’re boys and Janet might
feel left out cause she’s a female. What if we get
caught sneakin’ Janet back to the wild with us? |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
So
is that a yes or no? |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
(Shanky
looks out the tree house windows and sees a flock of flamingos)
(Aside to Audience)
Should we take Janet along with us?
(To Johnny)
Johnny, I’m going to really have to think hard about
this?
(Shanky leaves the tree house and wonders off for a
minute.) |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
(Aside
to Audience)
Man, I really want to take Janet with us, but Shanky is
really trippin’. I bet you if my big brother was
in my shoes and really liked this girl, he would of just
took her along with us. I feel that I have the right to
bring a friend along with us to keep to keep us company.
I just don’t understand why Shanky is upset.
(Johnny throws his backpack down the ladder and it
hits Shanky in the head.) |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
What’s
that for? |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
Ooops, I
didn’t mean to. I didn’t know you were down
there.
|
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Johnny
come down here we need to talk. |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
(Johnny
climbs down the ladder)
Yes? |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
(Shanky
puts his arm around Johnny’s shoulder and walks
towards the waterfall, they both sit down.)
|
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
Have you
thought about Janet coming along?
|
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Yeah I have
been thinking long and hard, but is that girl named
Janet, worth taking the risk for?
|
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
(Johnny
looks Shanky in the eyes for a long minute.)
Well, yeah she is. You just don’t know her how
I know her. Shanky, she’s a nice girl, I promise,
she won’t give you no problems when we get back
to the jungle.
|
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Have
you asked her if she wants to go or not? |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
Yeah,
I asked her last night and she said it was up to you. |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Damn,
why me , why me? I just wanted me and you, mano y mano,
to go back with no problems. Janet can get in the way
of our brother relationship. She can also get in the way
of our companionship. She might get us caught by poachers
cause she’s a little girl and she might not know
better. |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
But
I’m really happy that I found a new friend and I’m
really surprised that she’s a girl cause all my friends
are dudes. She can relate to my past because she doesn’t
have a Momma or a Daddy. I think she needs a family and
company basically to look after her. |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
I
want to be released because I don’t want me and you
to be locked up for the rest of our lives. Can you find
it in your heart to leave with me and not stay with the
girl. I’m going to need you in the long run. I’m
really looking forward to being released back into the
wild and I really need you to be by my side. To look after
you and make sure you grow up right because we ain’t
got no Mommie & Daddy so we should not separate no
matter what. |
|
|
|
| Johnny: |
|
I
hear where you’re comin from and what you’re
saying. So I think Janet should just stay and maybe one
day I might see her in the blue moon.(While Johnny
and Shanky finish packing there’s a knock at the
door, it’s Janet.) |
|
|
|
| Shanky: |
|
Hurry
up, let’s go, I’ll meet you on the bus.
(Shanky pounds his chest and waves goodbye to Janet.) |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
