Stagecoach
| Props: | 2 sturdy chairs set side-by-side |
|---|---|
| Notes: | each time scout #2 turns to look back, they should swing the imaginary shotgun-causing scout #1 to duck if facing them. the phrase 'this big' is key to landing the punchline. |
[Scout #1:] This here's the Stagecoach. I'll be the driver!
[Scout #2:] I've got shotgun!!
[Scout #1:] Well now, we got to get this Stagecoach into town, and protect the gold.
[Scout #1:] OK, let's head towards town... Hiyah! (like shaking the reins for the horses, and Scout #1 starts bouncing like the coach is moving)
[Scout #2:] (turns and looks back) There's someone following us. [Scout #1:] Does he have on a black hat and a mask? [Scout #2:] (turns and looks back) Yup! [Scout #1:] How big is he? [Scout #2:] (holds up his fingers about an inch apart) He's about this big. [Scout #1:] We'd better get going.
[Scout #1:] Watch the bump! (both scouts mime hitting a bump) [Scout #2:] (turns and looks back) He's still there. He's gaining on us! [Scout #1:] How big is he now? [Scout #2:] (holds his hands about a foot apart) He's about this big.
[Scout #1:] He's after the gold -- Hurry! Hurry!
[Scout #1:] Watch the bump! (both scouts mime hitting a bump) [Scout #1:] Is he still there? [Scout #2:] (turns and looks back) He's still there! [Scout #1:] How big is he now? [Scout #2:] (holds his hands arms-width apart, vertically) He's this big!
[Scout #1:] Well, you have the shotgun - shoot him! [Scout #2:] I can't shoot him. [Scout #1:] Why not? [Scout #2:] (holds his hand up with his fingers an inch apart) 'Cause I've known him since he was this big. [Scout #1:] Whoa! (comedy stop with both scouts leaning forward together, then back into their seat.)
Scout #2 doesn't move, and just looks around
Scout #1 soon notices and bumps Scout #2 with his elbow to get his attention. Repeat the Hiyah!, and then both scouts start bouncing
