Full Script

[View Synopsis Only]

Scene: Evelyn and Frank are seated in their car in the midst of a trip to Disneyland. The Hitchhiker is front and center

Hitchhiker: Often times in our lives, we are faced with temptation. When that happens, we are forced to make a choice as to how we will respond to that temptation. Here is choice A. (He exits)

Frank: WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!! (This startles Evelyn, who is driving.) I don't believe it. We're actually driving to Disneyland!

Evelyn: Isn't it great? At least, I think we're still headed to Disneyland. Could you check the map and let us know where we are?

Frank: You bet. I guess it does seem like we've been driving a long time. (Looks over map) Hmm. This is interesting.

Evelyn: What's that?

Frank: We're still going the right way, but there's a weird looking fork in the road coming up.

Evelyn: Weird looking?

Frank: Weird looking. It shows a really narrow, two-lane road continuing on toward Anaheim as one of the options.

Evelyn: Nothing weird about that. What's the other option?

Frank: A really wide road. Looks like eight lanes or more. That would sure be an easy road to take to Disneyland.

Evelyn: So why don't we take that route?

Frank: Well, the thing of it is...

Evelyn: And there is a thing?

Frank: Well, I don't know if it's an error in the map or not, but the road just abruptly ends and...OH!!! The map says that the National Doughnut Museum is along that route!

Evelyn: Do you think that the map makers made a mistake? Should we try that road?

Frank: They haven't been wrong so far. We'd probably better just stay on the narrow road.

Evelyn: You're probably right. As much as we love doughnuts, we'd never make it to the destination we set out to reach in the first place. OK then, Narrow road it is.

(Hitchhiker walks out)

Hitchhiker: (Pantomimes watching car go by, then looks at audience and says) Three hours later....(exits)

Frank: Look! We made it! Disneyland!!!

Evelyn: The happiest place on earth. We made it!

Frank: Oh no. The sign says "Disneyland Left". It's not here any more. Just kidding! It means turn left!

Evelyn: You're just giddy cuz WE'RE HERE!!!

Both: YAHOO!!!

Hitchhiker: And now, choice B.

Frank: WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!! (This startles Evelyn, who is driving.) I don't believe it. We're actually driving to Disneyland.

Evelyn: Isn't it great? At least, I think we're still headed to Disneyland. Could you check the map and let us know where we are? Frank: You bet. I guess it does seem like we've been driving a long time. (Looks over map) Hmm. This is interesting.

Evelyn: And there is a thing?

Frank: Well, I don't know if it's an error in the map or not, but the road just abruptly ends and...OH!!! The map says that the National Doughnut Museum is along that route!

Evelyn: Of course the map makers made an error. Who ever heard of an eight lane road just ending? That's ridiculous.

Frank: I was hoping you'd say that. Those doughnuts are calling to me.

Evelyn: You bet. And here's the exit now.... Ah yes, a lovely large road. This thing has got to go to Anaheim. That is, of course, if we make that far. A doughnut museum? We could center our vacation around that. How far to the beautiful pastries?

Frank: Well, that's tough to say since we're not trusting the map any more. However, do you remember when you said it was ridiculous for an eight lane road to abruptly end?

Evelyn: Yeah.

Frank: Well, it looks like it ends right here AT THIS CLIFF!!!

Both: AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGHHHHH!!!!!! AAAAAAAAUUUUUGGHHHHH!!!! (Pause, look at each other) AAAAAAAAUUUUUGGHHHHH!!!!
