ACT 1 SCENE 2

NARRATOR: Mary goes to her sister Petula's house to break the news. Petula answers the door, wearing a scarlet and pink stripy shirt over black underwear and bright red socks. She has purple hair.

MARY: Hi Petula, I see you have been experimenting with designs again.

PETULA: Come in Mary, what's new with you then?

NARRATOR: Petula steps back and looks Mary up and down.

PETULA: Hells horses, how did you get so fat, I only saw you yesterday. ARE YOU PREGNANT?!!

MARY: Yes I am, it's Gods baby, he and the Holy Spirit came to visit earlier and said I was the Chosen One.

PETULA: Thought that was Aaron Allard Morgan.

MARY: What? Who? Eh?

PETULA: Never mind. Well, I am pleased for you, and Joseph, you must look after yourself, sit down and have a brandy.

NARRATOR: The two sisters spend a pleasant evening getting trollied and discussing current affairs (Doris Davis down the road has been seen with the new vicar) It is almost midnight when Mary returns home, drunk as a skunk. Petula accompanies her to the door, to make sure she doesn't fall over.

PETULA: Hey Mary, what's papa going to say about the baby do you think?

NARRATOR: Mary looks at Petula and they begins to sing. Petula soon joins in.

MARY/PETULA: "Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep. Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep. But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my babieeeeeeee. I'm gonna keep my baby, yeah!"
