PHARISEE 1: MUD! PHARISEE 2: Grumble, grumble! PHARISEE 3: Judge! PHARISEES: Hmmph! (PHARISEES exit.)
PRODIGAL: I'm starving! Hmmm… there's food in the trough here… what about just one little pod? This one isn't SO dirty… (PRODIGAL tries to get brave enough to eat the pod. He picks it up and dangles it above his mouth.)
MORRIS: CALEB/
MORRIS: ALL PIGS: PRODIGAL:
Is that guy about to eat PIG FOOD?
I can't watch! (MORRIS uses his cape to cover his and CALEB's eyes.
Just WHAT do you think you're doing?
(startled) Me? Oh, nothing! This pod was a little… dirty… and I was blowing off the dust! (He blows on pod, wipes it on tunic, and gives it to HAMBONE, who glares.)
CURLY CUE: I do believe he was stealing our pods. PINKY: What do you think, Hambone?
HAMBONE: You know what we do to piggies who steal our pods? (to MORRIS) May I borrow your cape?
MORRIS:
Sure… (MORRIS hands HAMBONE the cape. PIGS wind cape around PRODIGAL.)
CURLY CUE: Look at that: pig in a blanket! (Pigs snort/laugh.) PRODIGAL:
(throwing off blanket) Hey, I'm NOT a pig!
CURLY CUE: Listen, Momma Pigmalion always said, If it lives in the sty…
PINKY: And it wallers in the mud…
HAMBONE: And it eats from a trough… ALL PIGS:
It's a pig! MORRIS: Excuse me, Mister. But how did you end up in a pigsty?
PRODIGAL: Well, it's kind of a funny story. I knew my father was going to leave me money in his will someday. So I asked if I could have it NOW.
CALEB: Wasn't that kind of rude?
