Excerpt:
A man enters in an usual costume that looks somewhat like a toaster oven.
TOASTER OVEN MAN
Here I come to save the day! I’m Toaster Oven Man!
LILLY LUND
You’re what? Did you say, “Toaster Oven Man”?
TOASTER OVEN MAN
That’s right. All you have to do is plug me in and I can really heat things up. The bad guys will be melting all around me!
(He shows her his plug at the end of a cord like a tail)
LILLY LUND
I see. But you have to be plugged in?
TOASTER OVEN MAN
That’s right. But I come equipped with an adaptor so the type of outlet is not a problem.
LILLY LUND
But you have to be plugged in!
TOASTER OVEN MAN
I have lots of extension cords! I’ll just go over here in the corner.
He goes to the corner and appears to be plugging in to the wall.
A young man enters who is dressed as a normal person
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Hello, I’m Spirit-Filled Man. E-P-H Six-Ten.
LILLY LUND
Oh! You know the password! Very good. How do you do. I’m Lilly Lund. Why do you want to join TRUTH?
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
I believe it is my calling in life.
LILLY LUND
How so?
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Well, if I am called upon to save someone’s life…then I gladly do so in order that God may save their soul!
LILLY LUND
I see. That is very good. Well, in order to be a member of TRUTH, you have to show us that you can accomplish extraordinary things. For instance, each of our members has a special super human power that they can use to work at their jobs as super heroes.
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Of course.
LILLY LUND
Let me introduce some of them to you. Back Rub!
(S-F Man looks surprised that she just hollered that. Back Rub Boy enters)
BACK RUB BOY
Oh…do we have a new applicant? Hi, I’m Back Rub Boy!
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Back Rub Boy?
BACK RUB BOY
Yes…that’s right. You see, I have the ability to give really good back rubs.
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Okay…but how is that…?
BACK RUB BOY
Let me demonstrate.
He crosses over and begins to rub the shoulders of S-F Man and he starts to get very relaxed.
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Oh…wow! Yeah… that feels real good!
BACK RUB BOY
I’ll stop now because if I continued, you would be falling on the floor in a heap like a pile of laundry.
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
I see. Wow… that’s impressive. I’m Spirit-Filled Man.
BACK RUB BOY
Glad to meet you…and do you have any special super powers?
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
BACK RUB BOY
Wow! That’s great! Lilly! Give him an assignment! I want to see what he can do.
LILLY LUND
Here you go. Take this and see how fast you can do everything it says. Then return here for evaluation.
SPIRIT-FILLED MAN
Thank you.
Takes the paper from her and exits. Lilly opens a bag of bread on her desk and takes out a piece. She goes over to Toaster Oven Man and pushes his nose. He opens his mouth and she sticks the bread in. She closes it.
LILLY LUND
Anyone else want some toast?
Whisper Woman comes running in carrying a piece of paper. She has very big feet.
WHISPER WOMAN
Lilly! We have a big problem! Our computer system might be shutting down!
LILLY LUND
That’s terrible! Oh…and speak up, Whisper Woman.
WHISPER WOMAN
Look at this e-mail we just got! It says: I am taking over your computer system! Soon, hundreds of viruses will enter your computer and destroy all your data! That will be the end of your organization! Nya uh uh! (The corny villain laugh) Signed, yours truly, The Drone.
ALL
The Drone!!
BACK RUB BOY
How will we stop him? How will we find him?
WHISPER WOMAN
Well, we have his email address from his email, and I traced it with our email tracking device. It gave me the exact location of The Drone!
BACK RUB BOY
Good work, Whisper! We had better hurry! We’ll take the TRUTH mobile! Paint! Waxy! You better come with us!
Paint Girl enters with paint all over her clothes and Waxy enters with very large ears. The funnier the better.
BACK RUB BOY
Line up everybody! We are TRUTH!
PAINT GIRL
The!
LILLY LUND
Really!
BACK RUB BOY
Unbelievably!
WHISPER WOMAN
Well-trained!
BACK RUB BOY
No! We changed it, remember? Well-trained just doesn’t work! It’s strong! The word is strong!
WHISPER WOMAN
Strong doesn’t work either! It starts with an S, not a T!
PAINT GIRL
It’s better than well-trained! That starts with a W!
LILLY LUND
Team! Let’s just go, already! We haven’t any time to lose!
BACK RUB BOY
You’re right, Lilly! And we don’t know anything about this Drone!
WHISPER WOMAN
THE Drone!
BACK RUB BOY
Whatever! Who knows what kind of powers he might have! What if he is some kind of alien?
PAINT GIRL
Maybe he is an advanced robot with super technical skills!
BACK RUB BOY
We need to make sure we are ready with all of our super powers! Okay, Team! Be on your guard!
LILLY LUND
But, I’m just the receptionist.
BACK RUB BOY
Remember our motto!
ALL
Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might!
TOASTER OVEN MAN
I better go!
(He starts to leave when you hear a loud “thwack” as his cord comes unplugged. He hurries out with the cord wagging behind him like a tail)
BACK RUB BOY
That guy’s super power is really lame!
