Here’s the full script as written, though it may have been modified in performance or in editing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe [facing partly left, out to sea]: Good bye, Barnabas! Good bye, Ishmael! Have a safe journey to Thessalonika! Make sure you give our greetings to the synagogue there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael [looking to his left]: We’re on the boat at last, Barnabas. Gee, I was scared while we were in Jerusalem. Boy oh boy, the Romans do NOT like the followers of Jesus. But — now we’re leaving Jerusalem, and nothing can go wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas [looking to his right]: Well, actually, Ishmael, quite a bit could go wrong. For instance, we could get in a shipwreck, which would mean we’d probably drown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael: Shipwreck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas: Or pirates could capture our ship, that would be bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael: Pirates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas: Cause if pirates capture us, they’d sell us into slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael: Slavery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas: Yep, there’s a lot that could wrong on a boat. But hey, if we’d’ve stayed home, the Romans probably would have arrested us. So on the whole, it’s better to be on a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe [facing partly left, out to sea]: Good bye, Thecla and Priscilla! Have a safe journey to Rome! Don’t forget to give the letter to the synagogue there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thecla: Here we are, Priscilla, on the boat, traveling to Rome. I have the letter that I’m supposed to give to the leaders of the synagogue, telling about our work. Are you sad that you’re leaving your friends behind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priscilla: Yes, I’m sad. But we’re trying to make the world a better place. So I don’t mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thecla: Yes, I think we WILL make the world a better place. We can show others that if we treat each other the way we’d like to be treated, the world will be a better place. We can show others that if we share what we have, there is enough for everyone, and no one needs to be poor or hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe [facing partly left, out to sea]: Good bye! Good bye! And soon it will be my turn to leave Jerusalem on a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael: You know, Barnabas, I was just thinking. They say that Jesus\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas: Ishmael, I know you’re all excited about all the things you’ve heard about Jesus. You’re my friend, and I try to listen to all the miracles and things. But honestly, I don’t care about miracles — I just want to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ishmael: Well, gee, I want to make the world better, too. I just like thinking about miracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnabas: You go ahead and think about miracles. But the real miracle would be if we could end hunger and poverty, and have people treat each other with kindness and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrator: That’s the end of this chapter in the life of Barnabas and Ishmael! Someday we’ll get back to them! But next week, we’ll start a new adventure — as ordinary people try to fight the greatest super-villain of all time: TRASHMAN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
