Scene 1, Act I
Setting: Johnston’s living room (nicely decorated). Marcia and Toni are sitting on the sofa. They both are dressed casually (jeans, skirt or similar).
Marcia: (sitting on sofa. Marcia is always dressed impeccably, even in jeans. Her nails, make-up and clothes are flawless. She has a certain air about her). Girl, I know, I’m just trying to hang in there.
Toni: (sitting on sofa, drinking a soda). Tell me about it. But at least you got a man. So what has it been, nine years you and Sterling have been married?
Marcia: It will be ten in six months.
Toni: Well, don’t sound so enthusiastic. What’s wrong with you? Sterling’s a good man.
Marcia: You don’t have to live with him.
Toni: We’ve been friends for over 15 years, so don’t act like I haven’t been here. The man is good to you.
Marcia: Whatever.
Toni: Look, you have a beautiful home, a wonderful son and a good husband, what more do you want?
Marcia: (rising from the sofa) - I want it all. (walking toward the kitchen table to get the potato chips).
Toni: All of what?
Marcia: All (sitting back on the sofa and getting a few chips out and then passes the bag to Toni).
Toni: (taking a couple chips out of the bag). See, Pastor just finished teaching last week about being greedy. What’s that scripture? Uh...Uh....
Marcia: Uh...- be quiet.
Toni: I remember now. It was something like, “he who is greedy for gain makes trouble for his own house”. I’m telling you, don’t mess up a good thing.
Marcia: (sarcastically) Any man looks good to someone who doesn’t have a man.
Toni: Now, you know good and well that if I just wanted a man, I could have several. But that’s not me.
Marcia: Whatever. What time is it?
Toni: A little after 1:00. What time do we have to go back and pick up Marlon from the birthday party?
Marcia: They said they would be back at 5:00.
Toni: Hey, have you gone over yet and greeted your new neighbor?
Marcia: Please, you know I’m not into that “Leave It to Beaver" stuff. I’ll meet her in time.
Toni: Is it just her?
Marcia: From what I can tell. I haven’t seen any man, other than the moving men and I haven’t seen any children.
Toni: I saw her when I pulled up, standing in her front yard half dressed.
Marcia: Look, are we going to the mall or what?
(doorbell rings. Marcia rises to go see who is at the door)
Toni: I’m ready. Are you expecting company?
Marcia: Nope. (opening the door) Can I help you?
Precious: (seen but not heard. She has a strong southern accent and talks slower than Toni and Marcia) - Hi, I’m so sorry to bother you but I moved in across the street earlier this week...
Toni: (quickly rising from the sofa and going to the door to see what the new neighbor looks like).
Marcia: Oh, how are you doing? Come in. I’m Marcia and this is my nosey friend Toni.
Precious: (enters the house. She’s smiling and has on tight a mini skirt.) I’m Precious.
Toni: (looking Precious up and down) (sarcastically) Precious? Mmm hump. Is that your real name?
Precious: Yes, it is. Precious Bradley (big friendly smile).
Marcia: (giving Toni a stern look). Would you like to have a seat?
Precious: No thanks, I can’t. I’m swamped, unpacking and things. I have not been able to locate my hammer and I was wondering if I could borrow yours?
Marcia: Oh, sure. Hold on a minute and let me get it. (disappears briefly into the back).
Toni: (interrogating Precious) - You’re not from around here. Where are you from?
Precious: Mt. Olive, North Carolina.
Toni: Mt. Olive, where in the world is that?
Precious: It's a little over an hour from Raleigh, North Carolina.
Toni: You’re a long way from home aren’t you?
Precious: Not really.
Toni: What made you move here? Running away from your husband or something?
Precious: (being evasive) Or something.
Marcia: (enters with the hammer in her hand.) Here you go. You can just return it tomorrow. We’re getting ready to leave.
Precious: (taking the hammer). Thank you and I’ll bring it back tomorrow. (starting to exit) It was very nice to meet you both.
Marcia: You, too.
Toni: (looking at Precious) Mmm...humph.
Precious: (exits).
Toni: (Shoves the door closed. Turns to face Marcia) You better look out for that little hussy.
Marcia: (getting her purse off the table) You know you are crazy. Why were you so rude to the woman?
Scene I, Act II
Setting: Johnston’s living room. Same day, around 7:30 p.m. A pizza box is sitting on the kitchen table. Sterling is sitting on the sofa with a remote control in his hand. Marlon is sitting on the floor playing with his gameboy or cars or some type of toy.
Marlon: Daddy, when is Mom coming home? I want to show her what I won at the birthday party.
Sterling: She’ll be home soon (glancing at his watch).
Marlon: Are we going to Sunday School in the morning or just 11:00 service?
Sterling: Sunday School and I know you have your scripture memorized as much as we have practiced this week.
Marlon: Yes, sir. Do I have to say it in front of everybody?
Sterling: Just in front of your classmates.
Marlon: Oh, I thought we were going to have to say it in front of the whole church.
Sterling: No, it is for your class.
(Door opens and Marcia enters with shopping bags)
Marlon: (runs to the doorway to meet her) Hey Mom! I had so much fun at the party. I thought you and Aunt Toni were going to come back to pick me up.
Marcia: Hello sweetie. I’m so glad you had fun.
Sterling: (still seated on the sofa) Good Evening, Marcia.
Marcia: Hi. (sitting the bags on the floor near the kitchen table). I see you had pizza. I told you I was going to cook.
Sterling: Baby, I’ve had a long day and I was hungry. It’s almost 8:00 and I wasn’t sure when you would be home (rising to go and give her a hug).
Marlon: (looking through the bags) Mom, what do you have in the bags?
Marcia: Leave those alone. (She and Marlon embrace but little visible affection).
Sterling: (Sits at the kitchen table near the bags).
Marlon: Did you buy me anything?
Marcia: (hugging Marlon). Whew, you need to go take your bath. Where all did you go?
Marlon: (excitedly) We went horseback ridding and to eat pizza.
