Rock! Sword! Firecracker!
SCENE 1
group of friends playing rock scissors paper at local
tournament. They all say:
All : Rock! Scissors
Paper!
(they all do one of the above . One persons
gets rock and the rest get scissors
and she pounds all their scissors. They all laugh and start another round. One persons gets scissors and
the rest paper and she c uts their papers dramatically. There is Asian
Music and a person enters dressed
in traditional Asian Clothing. The players don’t notice at first but the masters shouts)
Mater: Stop! (they all freeze)
Kelly : Who are you?
Mater : Iam the
master of the rock!
(master holds out at first. Players all look
at each other and then laugh)
Mel : Well I’ve got
paper.
(mel puts a flat hand over the masters fist.
Players laugh and then master
grabs Mel hand and throw Mel on the table and sticks a finger to Mel’s throat)
Master: And i have sword.
Fanny : There’s no sword
in rock, paper, scissors.
master: that is where you are mistaken.
(Master helps Mel up). Iam here to tell you
the story of ...(dramatic pause) Rock!
(hold up at fist) Sword! (hold up index finger) Firecracker! (holds up thumb)
(Players all look at each other confused)
Mel : I thought it was
rock, scissors, paper.
Mater : You are
wrong! the ancient game has been dishonored by scissors and paper. It is a mockery of the true art
of the challenge. Shall i tell u the story?
Kelly : Sure
Mater : If you
wish to hear the story. You must say,”
Yes, master “
(They all look at each other, some shrug, some make funny face
but they all nod in agreement)
All : Yess Master.
Master: Say... “Pretty Please.”
(They give each other looks and then say)
All : Pretty please.
Master: “Pretty please with a cherry blossom on top.”
Fanny : Come on!
Mater : Fine. I
tell you the story.
(The master can pull out a scroll or book to
hlp with the story. This next part is
flexible for staging. The master can act out his story, more actors can come in and and act out the story or players can act out the story) It all began with rock.
Kelly : You mean like
the wrestler?
Mater : No, the
rock was a big fat lazy sob. But he was unmovable. He was a champion sumo wrestler because no one could
move him. He won every match. And then
he sent a challenge out to all warriors that no one could defeat him. So samurai and ninja from
all over Asia came to fight him, but even
a sword could place his rocklike skin. But then a magician from a distant land came with a mighty weapon. A
Firecracker! No one had seen such
a huge firecracker before. The magician faced off against the rock. He lit fuse and place it at the rock’s feet.
The rock did not care. He did not
think anything could defeat him. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion. They were sreams and cries
of pain. And when the smoke cleared,
the rock had fallen. Everyone stood quietly and couldn’t believe their eyes. A few began to cry. The magician’s
laugh broke the silence and he
pulled another, even bigger firecracker next to the rock and lit it. But then a young one, who was a big fan and
collected all the rock memorabilia, sprang in to action. He snatched
up a sword and “swish” cut the fuse,
saving the rock from destruction.
(The master bows to end his story and the players clap and
cheer)
Mel : Amazing
Fanny : Great Story!
Mater : So i ask
that you no longer dishonor the game with scissors and paper.
Mel : Yes master!
Kelly : We will master.
(Master bows and then leaves)
Fanny : Ready?
All : Rock, sword,
firecracker!
(All except one do firecracker and one does sword and
dramatically cuts their fuses with Karate sounds.)
Kelly : That is more
fun!
All :Rock, sword,
firecraker!
(All except on do rock and one does dynamite and blows them
up)
