Travis and God, II, 1
Travis: (running on) Wow! I can’t believe I’m back again.
God: Hi Trav!
Travis: God! God, is that you?
God: Welcome back!
Travis: Gosh Lord, it’s great to talk to you again. I mean, I talk to you all the time but it’s seems like when I’m at camp, I can almost hear you.
God: Almost? Testing, testing.. one, two, three…
Travis: Okay! I mean I can hear you!
God: So… you ready for a great camp?
Travis: I been waitin’ all year for this, Lord. Just wait ‘til you hear the song I’m gonna sing tomorrow.
God: I can’t wait.
Travis: And all my old friends from last year are back! Gosh, I’ve missed seein’ ‘em, Lord.
God: Great, Trav.
Travis: And I bought this really cool shirt to wear tomorrow…and did you see these shoes?
God: I saw the shoes, Trav.
Travis: And God….this is sort of embarrassing…..
God: Go ahead. You know you can’t keep secrets from me.
Travis: I been workin’ on a tan.
God: What can I say, Trav? You’re buff.
Travis: (laughing) God called me buff. That’s funny.
God: Yea, well some things are just really funny to me.
Travis: Hey! There’s _________! I haven’t said Hi to him yet. Look Lord, I’ll talk to you later, okay? Boy, it’s great to back at camp. (runs off…stops) (as he slowly returns) Uh…Lord?
God: Yea Trav?
Travis: Is…you know.. is there somethin’ the matter?
God: Why do you ask?
Travis: Well…when you and me talk at camp, you usually…well you know… you usually talk to me more. I mean, you’ve always got a little advice or somethin’. But today…I don’t know.. you seem kinda… quiet.
God: I didn’t want to interrupt. I don’t do it that way.
Travis: But don’t you have anything you want to tell me?
God: Well. I love you.
Travis: (a long beat, then) Thanks.
God: And I’m glad you’ve got new shoes, and your old friends, and a new song and… such a buff tan…..but….
Travis: ..but…what?
God: I thought…you know.. maybe there was another reason you came to camp…
Travis: (it hits him) Oh. Man, I’m sorry Lord, I forgot.
God: Atta boy.
Travis: The food. The food is really great here.
God: (a long beat, then) Oh. Hey Trav, why don’t you run over say Hi to your old friends.
Travis: Look, I’ll talk to you later, okay?
God: Sure thing, Trav. Talk to you later.
Travis: Cool Lord. Man, I love camp! (and he runs off)
God: (after he’s gone) Sure thing, Trav. Sure thing.
