(A large stable is center stage with closed doors. A small group
of rather frantic Bethlehem citizens is gathered in front of the
stable. Maxine, the owner of the stable, tries to calm them.)
(music begins to "A Little More Peace")
SONG: "A LITTLE MORE PEACE"
(Music continues as underscore. Maxine jumps on a crate by the
stable to address the unruly crowd. Her by-the-book assistant,
Riley, carries a clipboard and is perpetually one step behind
her.)
Dialog (begins at meas. 69)
MAXINE: (shouting) Listen up, everybody! My name is Maxine, and my
Bethlehem stable is full!
RILEY: But the camels need water! The goats need a bath! The cattle
are lowing! The chickens are squawkin'!
MAXINE: (shouting again above the chaos) And I tell you again—there is
no room in the stable tonight! Now please, give Bethlehem
some peace!
