An extract from scene 3 - A Visit From The Three Bears
| Mrs Riding-Hood: Sit down, the pair of you. Daddy Bear: We’ve brought you a message from your Grandmother. She says don’t bother coming round tomorrow because she’s going bungee jumping with her friends from the Eighty-Not-Out Club. Rebecca: But she’s eighty-six! Mrs Riding-Hood: Don’t be such a stick-in-the-mud. If my mother wants to have some fun then let her. Violet: What’s bungee jumping? Rebecca: It’s where people jump off high bridges tied to a bit of knicker elastic. Violet: Granny’s got lots of knicker elastic. I’ve seen the size of her knickers! Mrs Riding-Hood: Violet! Violet: Well I have! Mummy Bear: We’ve got to be off now. We only popped in to pass on the message. She said if you take her groceries round at the weekend that will be fine. Rebecca: OK. Three bears: Bye! |
Rebecca & Violet & Mrs Riding-Hood: Bye! Mrs Riding-Hood: So how are the little pigs? Rebecca: Oh, they’re fine. They’ve just bought some land in the forest where they’re going to build their new homes. Mrs Riding-Hood: That’ll be nice. Rebecca: Yeah. Arnie is making his house out of straw, Sylvester is making his out of sticks and Jean-Claude is using bricks. Mrs Riding-Hood: Have they gone mad? You can’t make houses out of sticks and straw! Violet: It’s mental and friendly! Rebecca: That’s environmentally friendly. Really Violet, you’re so thick. Violet: Huh! Mrs Riding-Hood: Even so, it doesn’t sound very safe. Rebecca: Oh, they can look after themselves. They’ve been working out. (Does pumping iron actions.) Mrs Riding-Hood: I hope you’re right. |
