(BRENT ENTERS)
BRENT You know, 200 years ago our country was just beginning its
struggle for independence and ... (SOUND OF FIFE AND DRUM "YANKEE DOODLE". ENTER
CLIFF IN COLONIAL CLOTHES AND HAT, CARRYING FLAG.)
BRENT What's going on? I'm trying to talk to the folks here.
CLIFF Well, go ahead and talk I just came up to do a dramamine-ation of
the Boston Tea Party.
BRENT A what?
CLIFF A dramamine-ation.
BRENT You mean dramatization.
CLIFF No, I mean dramamine-ation. I get sick on boats.
BRENT Oh, brother ... say, thats quite a get-up you've got there. I
really like your hat.
CLIFF Yeah?
BRENT Yeah, where'd you get it?
CLIFF I got it on the 4th of July in Philadelphia.
BRENT Ah, yes, the city of brotherly love,
CLIFF Yeah. But I had to beat up a little kid to get it.
BRENT How could you do such a thing?
CLIFF It's easy. I just grabbed him by the throat like this and made a
fist like this and ...
BRENT No, No! I mean why did you beat up the little kid?
CLIFF To get the hat, of course. Boy you're not very smart.
BRENT Look, let me put it this way. What if you were walking along and
somebody decided that they wanted your shirt so they just walked up to you and grabbed you
by the neck and started punching your face in?
CLIFF That's awful! That's horrible! That's terrible!
BRENT Well, that's what you did to that kid in Philadelphia.
CLIFF No, I didn't!
BRENT What?
CLIFF I hid behind a bush and tripped him when he came by and then I
jumped on him and ...
BRENT All right! All right! I'ts the same thing! What if everybody in
our country were to act that way?
CLIFF Gee, I never thought of that. I guess I blew it huh?
BRENT Yeah, but the sad part is that this type of thing is happening more
and more these days.
CLIFF How could we stop it?
BRENT We can't. Only God can.
CLIFF Well, why doesn't He?
BRENT He will if we ask. God says that if His people, that means all
who love and obey Him, will turn from their sin and pray to Him, He will forgive their sin
and heal their land.
CLIFF You mean if we all turn to God and ask, He will make our country
new again?
BRENT That's right.
