| CaShawna |
(Enters carrying stool, then stands on it to give a speech.) |
| Aliyeh, Guadalupe, Dahabu, & Henry |
(Enter from different directions and gather in a semicircle around CaShawna to listen to the speech.) |
| Narrator |
Is it not true that one blow struck against men's prejudice… |
| Etsu |
(Enters crying.) |
| Bandjalong & Farwalker |
(Enter, following Etsu angrily. Throughout her speech, CaShawna intentionally ignores them, although her listeners keep glancing back and forth.) |
| CaShawna |
(Pleading, hands held out) We must all love one another! |
| Bandjalong |
(Shoving Etsu) Get out of here; we hate you. |
| Farwalker |
(Also shoving Etsu) Yeah. |
| CaShawna |
(Firmly, clenching fists) We must ignore race, creed, and class! |
| Bandjalong |
(Shoving Etsu again) We don't want your kind around here. |
| Farwalker |
(Also shoving Etsu again) Yeah. |
| CaShawna |
(Expansively, arms wide open) We must welcome all people with open arms! |
| Bandjalong |
(Kicking at Etsu) Go back where you came from. |
| Farwalker |
(Also kicking at Etsu) Yeah. |
| Henry |
(Leaves group of listeners, approaches Bandjalong and Farwalker, and takes each firmly by an arm.) |
| Bandjalong & Farwalker |
(Struggle slightly, then stand still.) |
| Aliyeh, Etsu, & Dahabu |
(Openly look away from CaShawna to watch Henry.) |
| CaShawna |
(With ultimate fervor, arms upraised) We are all God's children! (Notices her listeners are no longer paying attention. Also turns to watch Henry.) |
| Narrator |
…is it not true that one such blow must thunder louder than a storm so eloquent of liberal speech? |
| Henry |
(Sternly) What is all this? |
| Bandjalong |
(A little afraid) We were just playing. |
| Farwalker |
(Also a little afraid) Yeah. |
| Henry |
Making fun of people and hurting them? That's playing? .... |
