JACKIE AND THE POTATO STALK
Part 2
MAMA
(COW looks upset and starts to sneak out again)
Come here, Bossy.
(COW shakes her head no)
JACKIE
(Grabs COW)
Where do I take her?
MAMA
To the old man in town.
JACKIE
The crazy old man?
MAMA
He's not crazy. Just a little weird.
JACKIE
So weird isn't as bad as crazy?
MAMA
Just get going and get something good for the cow.
JACKIE
Let's go Bossy.
(COW moos in protest. MAMA exits)
SPUD
And that's when Jackie appeared at my door.
(SPUD can roll in a door to stand behind or just stand ready and JACKIE can pantomime knocking on his door)
JACKIE
Get over here, Bossy.
(Pulls COW to SPUD and knocks)
SPUD
Well Howdy. How can I help you?
JACKIE
We are poor and have no food except for a few potatoes. We must sell our cow.
SPUD
I will buy your cow.
(Takes COW and scratches behind her ear and she's happy)
JACKIE
Thank you, mister.
SPUD
I have something you'll enjoy. Spuds.
(Hands JACKIE a shiny cloth bag made of a magical looking material)
JACKIE
Potatoes? But we already have potatoes.
SPUD
But these are magic spuds.
JACKIE
Magic potatoes?
SPUD
They will give you more wonderful treasures than you can ever imagine.
JACKIE
I can imagine some pretty good things.
SPUD
Take them to your mother and all will be good again on your ranch.
JACKIE
Thank you, Mister. Good-bye, Bossy.
(COW sticks her tongue out at JACKIE)
