Excerpt From Drama 4
Simon: (Pointing to the door.) Hey, we can go in there.

Nathan: (He reads the sign.) "Rahab's Gentlemen's Club. We Never Close." (With sarcasm.) Yeah, we'll fit right in with all those doctors and lawyers and bankers.

Simon: (He gives Nathan a tap on the arm.) Nathan, it's not that kind of Gentlemen's Club.

Nathan: (Totally naive.) Then what kind of club is it?

Simon: (Disgusted.) Just how old are you?

Nathan: Seventeen.

Simon: (Shaking his head.) A baby. Joshua sends me out here with a baby. Let's go in and let me do all the talking. (They enter.) Hello! (He calls out a little louder.) Hello! Anyone here?

Rahab: (She strolls out swinging a strand of pearls that are around her neck. She speaks in a Mae West impression.) Hello, big boy! I'm happy to see you, and I hope that you're happy to see me.

Simon: Yes, we're very glad to be here.

Nathan: (In a loud whisper to Simon.) Why does she talk so funny?

Simon: Shut up, before she throws us out of here.

Rahab: Well, what can I do for you, big boy?

Nathan: Uh, we were just passing by and decided to drop in to kill some time.

Rahab: That's what they all say. Are you in for the convention?

Simon: No. We're just a couple of traveling salesmen.

Rahab: Businessmen, huh?

Nathan: Yes, businessmen.

Rahab: What do you sell?

Simon: Brushes.

Rahab: Do you have a motto?

Nathan: No, do you?

Rahab: Yes I do, sweet cakes. Our motto is, "It's a Business Doing Pleasure With You."

Nathan: I think that's supposed to be, "It's a Pleasure Doing Business With You."

Rahab: You've got your motto, I've got mine. Now, let's talk. There's a twenty-five shekel room fee and tips for ourfemale companions are extra.

Excerpt From Drama 5
Joshua: If it isn't too much trouble, could you let me know how all of this is going to happen?

God: Yes, yes. Sometimes I tend to let the details slide. First of all, I will lead you into battle.

Joshua: (Surprised.) You?

God: Absolutely! I don't send my people where I won't go. Anyway, call all the people together. Everyday, every man jack of you--

Joshua: Who’s Jack?

God: An expression of speech. Everyone will form a procession. The Ark of the Covenant will be carried around the city once a day for the next seven days with the vanguard in front of the Ark and the rearguard behind it. The priests will line up in procession. Seven of them will blow rams' horns, followed by all the people. But you will not attack until I give you the command. When I say "Raise the war cry," call for the charge and advance on the city. Quicker than you can say "Hundred Days War" the walls of the city will crumble.

Joshua: Wow! And then what?

God: I AM putting the whole city under the ban. I want it totally destroyed. Nothing is to be taken from the city, nothing that can lead my people astray. Destroy it all. Burn it, melt it, bury it, but take nothing for yourselves. Anyone who takes anything or keeps anything for himself will cause great harm for the whole community.

Joshua: That seems to make good sense. Some of these people can be led astray at the drop of a hat.

God: Oh yes. One other thing. There is a woman in the town, Rahab. She runs a little place called "Rahab's Gentlemen's Club."

Joshua: (Knowingly.) A gentlemen's club, huh?

God: Yes, but she has repented. She believes in me and protected Simon and Nathan, the two men who scouted the city.

Joshua: All right. In fact, I will give orders to those two scouts to find her and save her and her whole family.

God: From this day on, everyone will know that I will fight my people's battles. No longer will my people face an enemy alone, for I will be with them. Nothing or no one, on, above, or below this earth, will keep my people from me. They are mine and no one will ever snatch them from my hand.

Joshua: Now what?

God: Well, I AM going back to the Ark and you must co-ordinate our battle plan.

Joshua: Thank you.

God: Go in peace. (They both exit in opposite directions.)
