SCENE 2
BUTTERCUP: Hey got any more worms? They're delicious.
BOOKWORM: Somebody call for a worm? (walking up behind)
BUTTERCUP: Yeah, just one more bite … (turning around to see the worm)
whoa … you're a worm? You're gigantic!
BOOKWORM: I'm a bookworm. I got this big by devouring lots of books.
Including the most important one, the Bible.
SoundFX : "Crickets"
NUGGET: Hey … is it looking a little darker to everyone else?
SCRAMBLES: Yes! Yes! It's getting darker! (party mood has shifted) I'm … I'm
not having much fun anymore.
BUTTERCUP: It gets dark outside the coop?
FAITH: Yes. Not just inside the coop; everywhere. Everybody has to go
through dark nights, not just chickens.
SCRAMBLES: Chickens hate darkness! I can't take it! (squawks and runs in
circles) I don't, I don't want to be free anymore! I want to go
home!
NUGGET: (aside to Faith) Scrambles is a chicken.
FAITH: I'm not blind.
NUGGET: No, I mean, she's a chicken chicken.
SCRAMBLES: (pointing at the ground) What's that chasing me?! (begins to run)
It's right behind me!
BUTTERCUP: It's your own shadow. It'll be gone in a few minutes.
FAITH: I see what you mean.
BUTTERCUP: Scrambles is right! We can't stay here! Which direction, Faith?
FAITH: (looking around) Oh no, I don't know where we are! I got lost
searching for you! I thought you knew!
NUGGET: Hey Bookworm, you're supposed to be smart. Do you know
where we are?
BOOKWORM: Well, I read a map once.
