A drama about Stewardship
Director's Notes:

Isabelle: Their daughter
Props:
A chair
CD of happy music (I used the "Peanuts" theme - Lucy and Linus)

Home
(LIGHTS UP CENTER STAGE)

Teri: (offstage) I’m upstairs!
Dave: Well come on down here! Hurry!
Teri: (offstage) Okay okay hold on!
Dave: Hurry up!
Teri: (comes in) Okay, okay. I’m here. What’s so important?
Dave: You’ll never believe what happened to me today!
Teri: What? Tell me!
Dave: (Starts Singing:)
Dave: I got me a job.
Teri: A job? A job!
Dave: I’m working for Bob.
Teri: For Bob! Who’s Bob?
Dave: Some marketing snob!
Teri: Oh Bob! That Bob.
Dave: He gave me a job!
Teri: A job! Good job!
Dave: I got me a job! It’s a job! I’m no longer an unemployed slob!
Teri: Honey! That’s Great! When do you start?
Dave: Immediately! He told me that I can start on Monday!
Teri: Great! Soooo, how much will you be making?
Dave: Hold your horses! You are looking at the new assistant, assistant market director, making…. $55,000 a year!
Teri: $55,000?!?! You’re kidding?
Dave: Nope! We’re rich! Rich I tell you. 55 grand and it’s all mine!
Teri: Ours you mean.
Dave: That’s what I meant! We’re rolling in the dough and it’s all ours! We can buy whatever we want now! We can get that new big screen TV!
Teri: An a new washer! And a snow blower and some new clothes for the kids and…
Dave: And anything you want!
Teri: And… wait a minute. I just thought of something. How many hours do you have to work to make that kind of money? Are we ever going to see you?
Dave: Oh sure. I asked Bob about that. He said I’ll be working the standard hours. I assume that’s just 9 to 5. I can’t imagine any more than that.
Teri: Oh. Ok. Well, what exactly are you going to be doing?
Dave: Well, I’m not really sure. I mean, I’m a man of many talents so I assume that he’s going to be calling on my skills in marketing, page layout, customer retention, artwork, webpage design, you know.
Teri: Well,… That sounds great! I’m soooo excited for you!
Dave: I know! Isn’t it great! (kids come in)
Lucas: Hey, what’s all the yelling about?
Teri: Daddy got a new job! We’re loaded!
Isabelle: Let’s Dance! (Start music - Everyone dances)
Dave: Let’s go out to dinner to celebrate! You kids decide!
Kids: McDonalds!!!
Dave: Doh!
Teri: Smooth move, Exlax.
