Script
ACT ONE
Scene 1. (Lights up, RH) Outside café, one table RH, leafy background. (Scrim, back light pattern) Springy flowers on table, colorful table cloth. Street noises in background. Kirsten and Mrs. Greer enter down aisle to table, talking as they walk and continuing as they sit.
MRS. GREER. How many windows are there?
KIRSTEN. Three walls are nothing but windows. I want privacy, but also want the light to come in, without having to open them each day. What do you think?
MRS. GREER. You could make the curtains just high enough to cover up what's important and leave the upper window open.
KIRSTEN. You mean cover up to here, (She motions to her neck then wave up over her head, she smiles.) then I could see out, but they couldn't see in. Great idea, mom.
MRS. GREER. How tall are these windows?
KIRSTEN. Um…I'm not sure, but they're only about 24 inches from the floor and go almost to the ceiling, are ceilings 8 feet tall? So, that would make them (Slow as if she if calculating.) 6 ft divided by 3, so 2 ft of curtain plus casings and hem. Is that right? How much material would that take?
MRS. GREER. We'd have to wait and see how wide the material is. I'd get a little more just in case. You could always make pillows to match the curtains.
KIRSTEN. This is fun, it's been such a long time since I had my own room to decorate.
MRS. GREER. I'm glad you're out of that other situation.
KIRSTEN. Why?
MRS. GREER. I just had a bad…
WAITRESS/WAITER. (hands them menus.) Hi ladies, my name is Sammy and I'll be your Waiter today. What can I get you to drink.
KIRSTEN. I think I'll take a Dr. Pepper.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. And you?
MRS. GREER. I'll take a water with a slice of lemon.
WAITRESS/WAITER. OK, I'll be right back with those drinks and take your order. (exits.)
KIRSTEN. (looking at menu.) What looks good?
MRS. GREER. I think I'll get the oriental salad, with the broiled chicken.
KIRSTEN. You always get that, don't you want a change?
MRS. GREER. Nope, it's my favorite.
KIRSTEN. I'm getting the French Dip Sandwich with fries.
MRS. GREER. Sounds good, but I can't eat like that any more. The pains of getting old. (She laughs.)
KIRSTEN. Oh mom, you're not old.
(A young teen with her twin siblings walk down aisle and across front. They talk to each other and run.)
OLDER SISTER. You two don't get too far ahead of me, mom would be mad if she saw you now.
SIBLINGS. 1 and 2. (together.) We won't. (They laugh and holding hands run farther ahead.)
OLDER SISTER. You guys are in big trouble. (She races after them.)
KIRSTEN. (she has a sad thoughtful look on her face.) What cute stinkers. They're about the age Brian was when I left. I can hardly stand to think how young he was.
MRS. GREER. (pause.) Why do you do this to yourself Kirsten? You can't go the rest of life blaming yourself for what happened. You did the best you could at that time, that's all any of us can do. Put it behind you. Your kids are fine now, they're great adults and love you as well as any kids do. You need to forgive yourself.
KIRSTEN. I know mom, but it's hard to forget how I hurt them. They went through the last half of their childhood without a mom. Sometimes I can't get to sleep with the guilt and it's been 10 years.
MRS. GREER. Have you told Jordan yet?
KIRSTEN. No. How can I, I can't even forgive myself, how could he? Besides mom, he's going to be a pastor. How can I be a pastor's wife with this history?
MRS. GREER. Kirsten, you'd be a perfect pastor's wife. You work with the teens, at church and at school, and you care so much about people. You all ready support him in his ministry. (Pause.) He knows you're divorced, you need to tell him you left the kids. He loves you, he'll forgive you, but you better do it before he gets any more serious.
KIRSTEN. I know, I will, the longer I wait the worse it'll be, if he were to ask me to marry him now I couldn't say yes. I wish the whole mess had never happened.
MRS. GREER. Well it did and you're going to have to deal with it. Have you told him about the hospital?
KIRSTEN. No, just that I had to divorce because of mental abuse. I didn't tell him I was in the hospital.
MRS. GREER. Tell him soon. You don't want to lose a man like that, he's a keeper. He'll deal with it, Kirsten.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. Here you are, a Dr. Pepper here and a water here, am I right?
KIRSTEN. Yep, thanks.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. Are you ready to order?
MRS. GREER. Yes, I'll have the Oriental Salad, with the dressing on the side, and the chicken broiled.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. Medium or large?
MRS. GREER. Medium.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. And what about you?
KIRSTEN. I'll have the French Dip Sandwich with fries.
WAITRESS/WAITER 1. OK, great, I'll be right back with this order.
MRS. GREER. Thank you.
KIRSTEN. (pause.) You know he's going to seminary soon. I can't imagine being without him.
MRS. GREER. Do you honestly think he's going to leave without you. He wants to marry you, Kirsten, you've got to tell him soon.
KIRSTEN. I know mom. I'm just not ready yet.
MRS. GREER. You need to get ready, your secrets aren't doing anybody any good.
KIRSTEN. Yeah, I know mom.
MRS. GREER. Now let's change the subject to something more pleasant. We'll go get that material when we're done here. You need something fun to think about. (Lights down RH. Kirsten and Mrs. Greer down aisle.)
Scene 2.
(Lights up LH) Kami and Mr. Black are standing on stage LH. Kami has a basketball she fools with. Mr. Black is racking leaves. Same leafy background.
KAMI. I want to go see her, dad.
MR. BLACK. They say it isn't a good idea right now, maybe in a few days.
KAMI. I need to see her.
MR. BLACK. Kami, not now, she's OK, you don't need to see her.
KAMI. (she is louder.) She's not OK, she's in a mental hospital.
(Pause, Kami twirling ball, Mr. Black raking.)
MR. BLACK. (pause.) This is just a little trouble, she's always been depressed and too sensitive.
KAMI. (loud.)Too sensitive, for who.
MR. BLACK. (louder.) Just too sensitive to everything and she gets worse each year.
KAMI. Every year you've known her, that should tell you something.
MR. BLACK. Kami, my marriage is none of your business, and I'm not the one sick here. Your mom has her own problems and they don't involve me.
KAMI. I thought a marriage took two (She throws the ball at him, he drops the rake to catch it.) people, it does involves you. Don't you even love her anymore?
MR. BLACK. I won't stand here and discuss my marriage with you. You're obnoxious, rude and …
KAMI. Mom says I'm just like you. We've both… hurt her, every time we argue it makes her worse.(She kicks at the rake then picks it up.) I want to see mom, when can I go.
MR. BLACK. When I say, that's when. (Trades the ball for the rake.) This conversation is done, I won't tolerate this kind of attitude from you.
KAMI. That's just it Dad. That's what you do, you tolerate us. You don't love us?. (She runs off RH.)
MR. BLACK. Kami, you get back here.(Pause.) Get back here. (He exits LH shaking his head.)
Scene 3.
Kami and Shelly walk on stage RH. Between classes. Same leafy background.
KAMI. (She is walking across stage.)
SHELLY. (yelling from off stage.) Kami, wait. (She catched up about mid stage.)
KAMI. Hey Shell.
SHELLY. Hey, do we have Math homework?
KAMI. Yes, of course, old man Smith doesn't miss a day.
SHELLY. Yeah, can't wait to get out of his class.
KAMI. Yeah.
SHELLY. You OK?
KAMI. Alright, another explosion last night.
SHELLY. What did he do?
KAMI. The usual, yell and tell me what a jerk I am.
SHELLY. Too bad.
KAMI. Yeah, too bad.
SHELLY. Did Jerry talk to you, he was looking for you.
KAMI. He wants me to go skating with him on Saturday night. I don't want to go alone, (Pause.) will you go.
SHELLY. Well I'm not gonna go on a date with you, that would be stupid.
KAMI. No, I mean, just go to the rink with me, we can all skate. Besides it won't be a date. I told him it was just friends.
BOY/GIRL. (runs on calling.) Kami.
KAMI. Hey, what's up.
BOY/GIRL. Kyle Cramer wants to go out with you and asked me to find out what you'd say.
SHELLY. Is this a joke?
BOY/GIRL. No, he's serious.
KAMI. Why would he want to go out with me, he's got girls begging him to go out.
SHELLY. Maybe he just likes the way you look.
KAMI. No, I know what he likes and it's not for sale.
SHELLY. Oh gross Kami, you always come up with the worst possible ideas.
KAMI. I bet you I'm right. Hey, I know. Tell him I'd love to go out. But that I don't give out what he's looking for.
BOY/GIRL. Sure. Be back in a minute.
KAMI. That'll fix him.
SHELLY. This is weird.
KAMI. Yeah, but that's how it is with boys. I wonder what made him think I would? Everyone knows I'm not like that. How do rumors get started?
SHELLY. I don't know, but it's not good. Here he/she comes.
KAMI. Well what did he say?
BOY/GIRL. Nothing, he just walked away. (Pause.) Sorry. (He starts to exit RH.)
KAMI. Sorry? (Fake.) It's a relief! (Lights down RH, all exit RH.)
Scene 4.
Kirsten walks on from aisle to LH. Kami runs on from RH calling to Kirsten and they meet LH to talk. Kirsten is carrying books with purse, Kami has a back pack on, pencil in hand. Same leafy background.
KAMI. Kirsten, Kirsten (As she runs up aisle.) Wait I need to talk to you.
KIRSTEN. What Kami, slow down I'm not… (She takes her by the arm, gently.)
KAMI. I need to talk to someone. There's a boy after me, mom's in the hospital and my dad's a jerk, Cameron doesn't give a rip, and I know it's all my fault. (She grabs her head.) I'm a mess.
KIRSTEN. Slow down Kami, one thing at at time, and you're not a mess. Your mom is in the hospital, she's sick, having a little trouble with her thoughts and emotions, and it isn't completely your fault. She's going to get well and come home.
KAMI. It is my fault and what if she doesn't, what if she decides to go away, I wouldn't blame her.
KIRSTEN. We'll deal with that if it happens, don't borrow trouble. What makes you think it's your fault.
KAMI. Can't you tell I hate my dad. Mom knows and it makes her upset when we fight. Now he won't even let me see mom, he hates my guts.
KIRSTEN. Now Kami, you really don't hate your dad, and that's no way to talk about him.
KAMI. Get real Kirsten. You don't like him, nobody at church likes him. He's a selfish, macho pig. If everyone doesn't do it his way they get punished, including my mom. I try to stand up to him, but all it does is make mom sick.
KIRSTEN. Kami, this situation probably didn't help your mom, but you are not totally responsible for her sickness. OK, if you want to be real honest I do see some problems with your dad, but this isn't the right place to discuss it.
KAMI. Can we talk somewhere. I can meet you somewhere?
KIRSTEN. Yeah, I'd like that. You're done with school now, right, how about today?
KAMI. I can't, I have to get home for Cameron.
KIRSTEN. Well you've got my phone number, call me. Make sure it's alright with your dad, though. (Confused look.)Who's the boy?
KAMI. Oh never mind, I'll call you tonight.
KIRSTEN. Call me after you ask your dad if you can go, then we'll go to lunch on Saturday. Would that work?
KAMI. Yeah, thanks Kirsten, I really don't know what to do about this. What a mess.
KIRSTEN. We'll talk. Then we'll see what happens.
SHELLY. (she walks from RH.) Hi Ms. Greer, nice skirt. (Kirsten looks down at her skirt questioning.) Kami, are you going home, I couldn't find you.
KAMI. Yeah, I needed to talk to Kirsten, first. Sorry! Kirsten, this is Shelly my best friend. We do everything together.
KIRSTEN. Ah, my daughter's names Shelly, you feel like family.
SHELLY. You have kids?
KIRSTEN. Yep, two, but they're grown now.
KAMI. Her kids live in Arizona.
SHELLY. Wow, that's a long ways away.
KIRSTEN. Yeah, too far, but they grew up there and there's friends and family there.
SHELLY. I bet you miss them.
KIRSTEN. Yep, I do, but they come around and I fly out there. It works OK. (She turns to Kami.) Are you walking home? Walk with me.
KAMI. OK, come on Shelly walk with us.
Scene 5.
(house lights up as they exit stage, stage lights down) Kirsten and girls leave the stage and begin walking around outside of room. Voice from sound system talks to Kirsten as they walk. Same leafy background.
(Car horn blasts. It makes them all jump and turn their head to the wall of the room.)
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Hey Babe, want a lift.
KIRSTEN. Oh Jordan, you scared me to death. (emphatically) No, I don't want a ride, I need to walk.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) That must be why you look so good.
KIRSTEN. Is that a compliment?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Yep, I'm sweetening you up so you'll say yes.
KIRSTEN.(she starts at the word yes, and speaks nervously.) Yes to what?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Yes to a night on the town. Are you busy Sunday night? I want to take you to dinner.
KIRSTEN. (nervous) Wow, a real date, what's up?.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) I figured it was about time we had a romantic evening together.
KAMI. Oh, romantic, (Being smarty.) how sweet, (takes a princess pose.) Someday I'll find a man just like you, Jordan.
KIRSTEN. Don't rush the boy thing, Kami. It isn't all romance.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Oh, come on now, you know I'm romantic.
SHELLY. Even once in awhile, is more than we get, huh, Kami?
KAMI. That's for sure.
KIRSTEN. Well I guess since these girls think it's so romantic, I better say yes. What time?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) I'll pick you up about 6:45.
KIRSTEN. OK, I'll be ready. Hey will you be at the church early tonight?
JORDAN. Yeah, what's up.
KIRSTEN. I've got some things to check on. See you there.
All. Bye! (They all wave.)

KIRSTEN. What Kami, slow down I'm not… (She takes her by the arm, gently.)
KAMI. I need to talk to someone. There's a boy after me, mom's in the hospital and my dad's a jerk, Cameron doesn't give a rip, and I know it's all my fault. (She grabs her head.) I'm a mess.
KIRSTEN. Slow down Kami, one thing at at time, and you're not a mess. Your mom is in the hospital, she's sick, having a little trouble with her thoughts and emotions, and it isn't completely your fault. She's going to get well and come home.
KAMI. It is my fault and what if she doesn't, what if she decides to go away, I wouldn't blame her.
KIRSTEN. We'll deal with that if it happens, don't borrow trouble. What makes you think it's your fault.
KAMI. Can't you tell I hate my dad. Mom knows and it makes her upset when we fight. Now he won't even let me see mom, he hates my guts.
KIRSTEN. Now Kami, you really don't hate your dad, and that's no way to talk about him.
KAMI. Get real Kirsten. You don't like him, nobody at church likes him. He's a selfish, macho pig. If everyone doesn't do it his way they get punished, including my mom. I try to stand up to him, but all it does is make mom sick.
KIRSTEN. Kami, this situation probably didn't help your mom, but you are not totally responsible for her sickness. OK, if you want to be real honest I do see some problems with your dad, but this isn't the right place to discuss it.
KAMI. Can we talk somewhere. I can meet you somewhere?
KIRSTEN. Yeah, I'd like that. You're done with school now, right, how about today?
KAMI. I can't, I have to get home for Cameron.
KIRSTEN. Well you've got my phone number, call me. Make sure it's alright with your dad, though. (Confused look.)Who's the boy?
KAMI. Oh never mind, I'll call you tonight.
KIRSTEN. Call me after you ask your dad if you can go, then we'll go to lunch on Saturday. Would that work?
KAMI. Yeah, thanks Kirsten, I really don't know what to do about this. What a mess.
KIRSTEN. We'll talk. Then we'll see what happens.
SHELLY. (she walks from RH.) Hi Ms. Greer, nice skirt. (Kirsten looks down at her skirt questioning.) Kami, are you going home, I couldn't find you.
KAMI. Yeah, I needed to talk to Kirsten, first. Sorry! Kirsten, this is Shelly my best friend. We do everything together.
KIRSTEN. Ah, my daughter's names Shelly, you feel like family.
SHELLY. You have kids?
KIRSTEN. Yep, two, but they're grown now.
KAMI. Her kids live in Arizona.
SHELLY. Wow, that's a long ways away.
KIRSTEN. Yeah, too far, but they grew up there and there's friends and family there.
SHELLY. I bet you miss them.
KIRSTEN. Yep, I do, but they come around and I fly out there. It works OK. (She turns to Kami.) Are you walking home? Walk with me.
KAMI. OK, come on Shelly walk with us.
Scene 5.
(house lights up as they exit stage, stage lights down) Kirsten and girls leave the stage and begin walking around outside of room. Voice from sound system talks to Kirsten as they walk. Same leafy background.
(Car horn blasts. It makes them all jump and turn their head to the wall of the room.)
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Hey Babe, want a lift.
KIRSTEN. Oh Jordan, you scared me to death. (emphatically) No, I don't want a ride, I need to walk.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) That must be why you look so good.
KIRSTEN. Is that a compliment?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Yep, I'm sweetening you up so you'll say yes.
KIRSTEN.(she starts at the word yes, and speaks nervously.) Yes to what?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Yes to a night on the town. Are you busy Sunday night? I want to take you to dinner.
KIRSTEN. (nervous) Wow, a real date, what's up?.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) I figured it was about time we had a romantic evening together.
KAMI. Oh, romantic, (Being smarty.) how sweet, (takes a princess pose.) Someday I'll find a man just like you, Jordan.
KIRSTEN. Don't rush the boy thing, Kami. It isn't all romance.
JORDAN. (from off stage.) Oh, come on now, you know I'm romantic.
SHELLY. Even once in awhile, is more than we get, huh, Kami?
KAMI. That's for sure.
KIRSTEN. Well I guess since these girls think it's so romantic, I better say yes. What time?
JORDAN. (from off stage.) I'll pick you up about 6:45.
KIRSTEN. OK, I'll be ready. Hey will you be at the church early tonight?
JORDAN. Yeah, what's up.
KIRSTEN. I've got some things to check on. See you there.
All. Bye! (They all wave.)
(They exit back door, hou
