Episode 6
SARAH
Once again, I hate relaying bad news, but there’s a minor problem, and that is - and no offense – history has shown the Fuhrer was a complete failure. What could his pathetic life possibly teach you?
TERRY
[Defensively]
He was a great man!
DWAYNE
Who did great things!
SARAH
Such as . . . ?
TERRY
Such as . . . lots of stuff we can’t explain right now—
DWAYNE
[Interrupting]
Because we don’t have time!
TERRY
Because we hafta plan this party, HIS party, see? Now, can we get this stuff by Saturday?
SARAH
Of course! I’ll fix you up today. We actually lock up on Saturdays, you know, the Jewish Sabbath. Work is not permitted, per the Torah. And that’s alllll in the Bible, you can look it up. My parents adhere to most of the Jewish rules and regs.
DWAYNE
[A thoughtful BEAT, then with surprise]
You guys are Jewish?
[Another BEAT as DWAYNE and TERRY look at SARAH, astounded]
SARAH
[SARAH eases toward DWAYNE; he backs off, cautiously]
Dwayne, we, are . . . BOO!
DWAYNE jumps, startled.
DWAYNE
[Stammering]
You don’t look Jewish, right Terry?
TERRY
Nothing like the cartoons.
DWAYNE
And you don’t act Jewish. You tricked us!
SARAH
I tricked you? Oh, yes, all morning I’ve been waiting for neo-Nazis to stroll in, so I could hoodwink them for a good laugh. You boys are toooo clever.
DWAYNE
Another reason why they’re grooming us.
