MAXINE: (a hand on his shoulder) Sure I'm sure. You know, this could
be the best job you've ever had.
HEYWOOD: (almost to himself) I certainly hope so.
(All of the equipment has been delivered and the family is geared
up with knapsacks and classic shepherd head-cloths and crooks.)
MAXINE: (calling out to the intrepid group) Look, night's falling, so
you'd best travel quickly.
RILEY: (calling out also; he keeps laughing with each joke; he's the only
one) Watch out for robbers. Don't get fleeced! (Riley laughs,
everyone groans) Don't let 'em pull the wool over your eyes.
(Riley laughs louder, louder groans) You're all just muttons
for punishment!
EVERYONE: Riley!
RILEY: Sorry.
(music begins to "What Do We Do with These Sheep?")
MAXINE: God speed your journey! Shalom.
(Maxine, Riley, Vivian and the small group all exit, as the
Wooltons begin their journey.)
WOLFGANG: Are you sure you know the way, Heywood?
GABBY: Are you sure we'll know what to do when we get there?
HEYWOOD: Sure I'm sure. C'mon! This may be the best job we've ever
had!
SONG: "WHAT DO WE DO WITH THESE SHEEP?"
(The family comes up to a signpost; dialogue over music
turnaround.)
Dialog (begins meas. 42)
GABBY: Turn right here!
HEYWOOD: No, this way! I see the top of the hill!
(The family continues their journey.)
