! ZOE:
A.J., my father gave me that coin and it's very special. I've got to find it!
ANNABELLE: I'll help you, Zoe! MARIA:
SHEP:
Come on, Shep, let's go this way. I thought I heard something near the cookhouse.
Let's hurry. The chef might mistake her for dinner! (runs off stage with Maria, Tia and Sophia)
(A.J. throws up his hands in surrender as they all begin searching.)
A.J.: ANTONIO:
(to Antonio) Father, these people don't know about the value of time and resources!
A.J., I think you don't know about the value of finding what has been lost. I know a bit about losing something … someone … very special to me. I can tell you, there is no greater joy than finding what was lost!
(Maria, Sophia, and Tia enter with a choreographed "ta-da.") MARIA:
Ladies and gentlemen, may we present … (they all motion as Shep walks in with a sheep in his arms)
ALL THREE: Petunia! EVERYONE: (ad lib. cheers) Alright! Yeah! SHEP:
ZOE:
I would've stayed out all night if I had to.
(Zoe pops up from searching the floor with her coin in her hand.) I found my coin! (clowns applaud wildly)
ANNABELLE: Oh, I'm so glad. A.J.:
ANTONIO: (sarcastically) Well, yippee. Let's have a party.
That's exactly what we'll do. Come on, everyone, we should celebrate. What was lost … is found! Let's have a party!
(music begins to "What Once Was Lost Is Found")
EVERYONE: (ad lib. cheers) Alright! Yeah! SONG: "WHAT ONCE WAS LOST IS FOUND"
