RALPH HERDMAN

try and remember the blocking and scene that go with each line.

IMOGENE: No, I want to be Mary… and Ralph, over there, he wants to be Joseph.

RALPH: Yeh, right.

CLAUDE: What’s a Wise Man?

RALPH: Just raise your hand!

ALICE: Oh, honestly! Jesus wasn’t even born yet. Mary and Joseph went there.

RALPH: Why?

MOTHER: … And Joseph went up from Galilee with Mary his wife, being great with child… 

RALPH: (Not so much trying to shock, as he is please to understand something.) Pregnant! She was pregnant! (There is much giggling and tittering.)

MOTHER: (slightly taken aback) Well, there you are. You didn’t have a bed for Gladys, so you had to use… something else.

RALPH: Oh, we had a bed… only Ollie was still in it and he wouldn’t get out. He didn’t like Gladys, (yells at OLLIE) remember how you didn’t like Gladys?

IMOGENE: My God! He just got born! They’re gonna kill a baby?

RALPH: Who’s Herod in this play?

IMOGENE: And I run away with the baby till the fight’s over!

RALPH: (collaring a stray shepherd by the front of his shirt) Somebody ought to fix the innkeeper… Gladys, you wipe out the innkeeper!

ALICE: Oh, what a terrible thing to say! (scribbles in her note book)

RALPH: What angel was that? There’s angels all over the place. Was that Gladys?
