Space Chickens rough draft script

Space Theme Week 3

Paige (on screen as the chickens are standing around…each with a plunger)
Good morning chickens!

Chickens
Good morning astronaut Paige.

Paige
Where is Cadet Crispy?

Narky
Oh he’s on planet Frink working on a project with some aliens.

Scene of cadet surrounded by aliens… all might have moustaches.

Cadet
Yes…you’re absolutely right…for a perfect peanut butter and jelly
sandwich the peanut butter must go down first…but I disagree that
you should use white bread…logically the choice should be wheat.

Aliens
awle;kajew ;falkej fa;elkj! (very angry)

Cadet
But if you’re going to deep fry me because of my opinion then your
reasoning behind using white bread is absolutely correct.

Aliens
Aleisnd : sdafkdj ;alsdkj fa;ds (more calm now)

Cadet
Wow…who knew a sandwich could almost started an intergalactic incident.

Back to the shuttle

Paige
Great! I hope he’s having a good time Well, then I have a mission
for both of you

Narky
A mission! That’s…(dozes off)

Nugget
Narky!

Narky (waking up)
Yes yes…the answer is banana…

Paige
Anyway…here’s your mission…you need to learn how to receive
God’s love

Nugget
Huh?

Narky
She said we need to learn how to receive God’s love

Nugget
I heard you but that seems silly. God gives us love all the time

Paige
Yes…but you need to learn how to receive it…Nugget would you
say you’re able to give love easily?

Nugget
Oh yes…I’m a great captain…everyone on my ship knows I love them...

Narky (laughing)
Yeah right…you’re a (catches a look from nugget)…I mean…yes
sir…you’re the best sir.

Paige
Captain Nugget do you know the alphabet?

Nugget
Why yes…of course…. A B C D E F G H I J K….I could go on and on
all the way to Z.

Paige
So you could teach someone the alphabet?

Nugget
Yes

Paige
Why?

Nugget
Why could I teach them? Well because I know the alphabet.

Paige
Well it’s the same idea with God’s love. Until we know how to receive
God’s love then it’ll be tough for us to love others and how to teach
others to receive God’s love.

Nugget
Oh…it’s like knowing how to tie your shoes…until you know how to tie
your shoes correctly then you’re not going to do it right and you won’t
be able to show others how to tie their shoes right.

Paige
Yes…you’ve got the idea!


END OF ACT ONE


Nugget
I’m still don’t exactly understand the whole concept of receiving God’s love.

Paige
That’s okay…Nugget do you ever listen to the radio?

Nugget
Oh yes…101.4FM…easy chicken listening.

Paige
Do you know how your radio works?

Nugget
Yeah…I’ve got a diagram of the process right here. (pops up on screen)

The radio station sends a signal our from it’s tower and that signal gets
picked up by my little radio.

Paige
So if your radio isn’t picking up the signal very well what does that mean?

Nugget
Oh…well it could be that I’m in the basement and it can’t get the signal…or
it needs new batteries…or the antenna isn’t up.

Paige
So if the radio isn’t playing very well something needs to change with the radio.

Nugget
Yeah…the radio station is always sending the signal…you can always rely on that.

Paige
Well it’s the same idea with God’s love. Think of God as a great big radio
station and he’s sending his love out all the time. It’s always there and he
will always send out his love. All of us are little radios like the one you
have…we’re not always in the right place to receive God’s love and so we
might have to change some things. But God’s love is always there and he
always wants us to have his love.

Narky
So if we’re supposed to learn how to receive God’s love what do we need to do?

Paige
That’s a great question Narky and there are a couple of different things you can do.

Narky
I’m taking notes (he’s at the computer and the ideas will pop up on the screen)

Nugget
Could I guess the first one?

Paige
Sure

Nugget
Does it involve buying a science defrosting toolkit from my local science
store and then applying the day light savings equation to help me come
up with the right meridian coordinates where I will then bypass the
stonework circuitry and punch in the correct code to get some balloons?

Narky
I’m sorry…all I got was defrosting light bulbs…could you repeat all that?

Paige
There’s no need for that. Nugget…the first thing you can do to help receive
God’s love better is just pray to God and ask him for help.

Nugget
That’s it?

Paige
Yep…just pray to him and ask for help.

Nugget
Oh…okay…(bows head) God…please help me receive your love since that’s
the most important thing I can do…Amen

Paige
Cool…the next thing you can do is just appreciate all the things that God
has given you. God loves us so much that he’s already given us all kinds
of stuff. Being able to remember to see all that stuff helps remind us
that God loves us already.

Nugget
Oh…okay…well…God gave me friends and family and a place to sleep
and some food to eat…pretty much everything I have is from God.

Paige
You’re right! God has given us so many things….it’s easy to see that
he loves us!

Nugget
Okay…so pray to God to ask for help and then we just look around to
see how God already loves us…is that it?

PaigeYep! Knowing that God loves us and seeing that God loves us
makes it pretty easy for us to know how to love others since God
has shown us

Narky
Woah…not sure I understand that…

Paige
Well…when you pray to God do you think he’s listening?

Narky
Yeah….I don’t always hear from God when I’m praying but I know
he’s always listening

Paige
So we know that God loves us and that God listens…

NuggetOh…I know!...we can show people that we love them by listening
just like God listening to us!

Paige
Yep! You got it!

Narky
And we can tell other people that God loves us and he also loves them!

Paige
That’s a great idea! You guys are doing a great job with this mission.
Narky what do you have written down

Narky
I’ve got that we should pray to God and ask for his help…and then we
can see all the good things he’s given us to know he loves us.

Nugget
And it isn’t just the stuff we see.

Narky
Like what?

Nugget
Well like music and naps and hugs…stuff like that

Paige
Great job guys…so do you think you can teach Cadet Crispy how he
can receive God’s love!

Narky and Nugget
Yep!
