Scene
4
Hardley asks Ed, "Wasn’t your patch on
your other eye yesterday?" Again, Ed just looks at the kids in the
congregation and shrugs his shoulders. Don and Hardley then try to
trick Crook, but to no avail, Don tells him that the treasure is on the
beach. Hardley looks at him and in confusion says, "But Don ..."
Don interrupts Hardley, "It is no use trying to fight him." Then
looking at Crook, he tells him again, "The treasure is on the beach."
Again, Hardley says, "But Don …" and Don, with a wink, says to him, "The
treasure is on the beach." Finally, Hardley understands and says,
"Oh yeah, on the beach." Crook goes over and reaches behind the beach
front and pulls his hand up with the plastic lobster attached. The
lights go out, the strobe and music come on and the chase begins.
Crook throws off the lobster and begins to chase Don. Ed chases Hardley
around, then Hardley gets the small bat and chases Ed around. Ed
finds the bigger bat and chases Hardley around and out.
B.
Dano: "Dano to Magarret, do you copy
Magarret? Over."
The two agents start to sneak off stage, but run into each other confused as to which way Crook and Ed went. In the end, they exit the same direction as Crook and Ed. A. Don and Hardley come running out dressed in Pirate outfits, looking for Crook. Again, Hardley finds a glass of water and commences drink it, commenting on how thirsty he is with all this running around, and how good the water tastes. Don asks if he can have some, but Hardley won't give him any, so Don demands that he let him have some, "I am serious Hardley, let me have it." Hardley says, "What did you say?" Don repeats, "Come on Hardley, let me have it." So, Hardley lets him have it and throws the water at Don. Don grabs a nearby bucket and again begins to chase Hardley off the stage and around the sanctuary. They get up to the stage and Hardley says, "Wait a minute, yesterday you chased me and all you had was confetti, so go ahead, let me have it." Don says, "What did you say?" Hardley repeats, "Let me have it." So Don throws it at him, but this time it really is water. (Have Hardley open his mouth so some of the water goes in. Then have him look at the kids, and spit it out). Hardley then grabs a bucket of candy to throw at Don who is standing in front of the kids. Don ducks, and Hardley throws the candy into the audience (Stop here and give a piece of candy to all the kids who didn’t get one). They then read the last note that they found, (As the voice begins to read over the sound system, the two look around and then back at the note). "There may not be a treasure, I just may be a nut. Or possibly the treasure is on top of a hut." They begin in search for the hut. After finding the hut, Don attempts to get on Hardley's back, but instead they both fall down. Hardley then gets on Don's back and again Hardley covers his eyes so that he can't see. They run into things on the stage, (for fun, knock over some palm trees and other props on purpose; the kids won't know its on purpose, and will get a kick out of it). They finally get the third note from off the hut, and Don drops Hardley. Crook and Ed then come out (this time Ed doesn't have any patch at all), and Hardley jumps into Don's arms. Don again drops him to the ground. Hardley comments on how soar his bottom is becoming. Crook asks them if they have seen two goofy looking tourists with a treasure map. Hardley begins to say defensively, "Hey, what do you mean by goofy looking?" but Don hits him, and the two of them begin talking like pirates saying, "Shiver me timbers, and swap the poop deck..." Hardley has a patch on his eye, but pulls it up and asks Ed, "What exactly is a poop deck?" Don hits him and then says, "Tighten down the main mast." and Crook asks, "What's a main mast?" Don then says, "Ar, I wouldn't know a main mast if it hit my partner on the head." Hardley then gets hit by the main mast for the last time. Hardley tells everyone to hang on for a second, then goes over and tears down the main mast, and throws it off stage. He then turns and claps his hands together, shaking off the dust, when the mast comes flying back in and almost hits him again. Hardley then runs and jumps into Don's arms, who then drops him. Crook realizes that it has to be them, and once again he holds them up. Hardley asks Crook, "Ar, you wouldn’t hit a fellow Pirate would you? Arrr." Crook hits him, and Hardley says, "That's what I thought." The lights go out, the strobe light and music come on. The music is ballroom dance, so Don, Hardley, Crook and Ed start dancing with each other. The music changes, and they begin the chase again and then finally out. (If you have the enough space behind the beach front, have Crook chase Don back behind there and they can act like they are swimming). Ed gets the big bat and chases Hardley. Hardley gets a small squirt gun and chases Ed. Ed gets a bigger squirt gun and chases Hardley around and finally out.) B.
Chin: "Chin to Magarret, do you copy Magarret?
Over."
The two agents sneak off stage. A. Don and Hardley come out discouraged after all their efforts, and no treasure to show for it. They sit down on the treasure chest, which is covered with a beach towel, sitting in the middle of the stage. Don asks Hardley what he did with the last note. Hardley pulls it out and as he begins to read it, they hear the voice read over the sound system; the two look around and then back at the note, "I have lead you around in circles, that's just how it goes. Actually the treasure has been right under you nose." They look where they are sitting to discover the treasure chest. Before they have a chance to open it, Crook and Ed come out. Don and Hardley do everything to try to trick Crook, but nothing works. They finally decide that they are going to have to FIGHT FOR IT. The lights go out, the strobe light and music come on and Crook and Ed begin to fight with Don and Hardley. They fight for a while, when Don yells, "Stop." The lights come on, and Don tells them, "There will probably be enough treasure for all of us." Crook agrees, so they huddle together to figure out how to divide it. Just then, our Hawaii 5-0 agents sneak onto the stage dressed as tourists wearing shorts with white socks and black shoes, sun glasses and blow up life savers. They begin to argue as to whether they should call and bother Magarret during his lunch. They finally decide to do so. Chin: "Chin to Magarret, do you copy Magarret?
Over."
The Hawaii 5-0 agents come out to arrest all four of them. "Freeze! This is Hawaii 5-0, you are all under arrest." In response, they all put their hands up. The agents then have them open up the treasure chest. There is a note inside which Hardley grabs and says he is going to read. Don grabs the note from him, and says he will read it. Crook grabs it from Don; Ed grabs it from Crook; Chin grabs it from Ed; Dano grabs it from Chin. Hardley runs over and grabs it from Dano, who grabs it back from Hardley. It then goes back down the line the other way, until it's back into Hardley's hands. Hardley looks at the note, and we hear the voice read the note over they sound system, as everyone on stage looks around and then shrugs their shoulders. "This is the last poem, so if you will listen to me, you'll find the greatest treasure in John chapter 3." Hardley looks down and picks up what he calls a, "Holly Bibl". Don grabs it from him and tells him it is the Holy Bible. Don opens the Bible and reads John 3:16. Everyone looks confused, and then Crook says, "Well, when I was in Sunday School ..." Everyone looks at Crook and together says, "You went to Sunday School?" Ed repeats the group, "You went to Sunday School?" Crook says, "Yes" and then explains to everyone that he learned in Sunday School, that if you believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross and rose again, and confess with your mouth that he is your Lord and Savior, you will be saved and then you will get to live forever in heaven. Everyone agrees, to live forever in heaven with God would be the greatest treasure of all. Crook then leads them in a sinner's prayer, "Dear God..." (Everyone repeats after Crook.) When they are done praying, one by one, they all comment on how this is the best treasure in the world. Chin hugs Crook, Ed hugs Dano, and Hardley tells Don, "Let me give ya a big kiss brother." as Don ducks his hug. They all leave happy and hugging each other. PAU
