Amos: Julian! This is my “special someone!” “Seymour.” (hinting at Seymour). The transition of the nice fancy club is converted into the dark cardboard clubhouse. A long awkward silence arises The kids are looking at each other Penny is touched an excited about Amos and Seymour Julian is in a state of shock Amos smiles and takes Seymour’s hand Seymour is looking around at the place wondering who turned the lights off. Penny: Aww look Julian they are so cute together. Julian confused/puzzled: I didn’t know you were-Penny interrupts- Penny- We are glad to have you! Amos-Seymour So… We are ready to join your club Julian: (sighs) I guess we can make arrangements for you two, but it won’t be the same (rolls eyes with an attitude) Amos: what do you mean? Julian: well the club is meant boys and girls to join in together. Its not the same Julian you cant get a free teddy bear and What are you gonna do when you play “house” you don’t have a mommy and daddy Julian*Confession booth*Mom stays at home cooks cleans feeds baby Dad gets a job works provides for the family. Amos: Why can’t Seymour and me take care of a bear? Julian: well you can’t get a “free bear” you have to adopt one and get your own accessories! Amos: Why do the other bears get special treatment? Why cant our bear get the same accessories Can kids that don’t want to take care of teddies join the club? Julian: yeah well some kids like taking it easy. Every one isn’t cut out for a teddy bear you know it’s a big responsibility. Julian: besides the rule says that only girls and boys can join together. Its always been this way since…. since forever. Amos: *confession Booth*I wonder if people always kept rules that helped some people get better treatment than others? That just doesn’t seem fair. Confession booth in the confession booth the kids explain their points of view in a documentary style. Amos- how can tradition be a reason for anything? Seymour -tradition is stupid Penny: Julian I have two dads Julian: Whaat ? Penny: Why don’t we just play a different way so Amos and Seymour can have fun with us? Julian: No its my club house! Amos: C-mon are we hurting someone Julian: Yes you are hurting the club Seymour: (Looks around) It seems fine to me Julian: WELL ITS HURTING! (Julian’s sudden out burst surprises everyone) Amos: What’s the worst that can happen Julian? Julian: A thought bubble arises from Julian’s mind : he imagines the entire club rioting, fire balls are falling from the sky, and Penny and Julian are forced to flee with their teddy bear. “Terrible things.” Amos: Do you not wanna be friends with us anymore Julian: Yes I wanna be friends Penny : Lets take a vote! How can we break this down into children version of three of those things
