THE
SKIT
THE GIANT
ITEM NEEDED:
A microphone
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: 3M
CHARACTERS:
Gene- A fight announcer
Goliath
The Colonel- Goliaths manager
Gene is on stage at center.
GENE: All right, we are just minutes away from the match up everybodys been waiting
for. Its been several weeks since the Philistines arrived in Israel, and at long last, the
champion has a challenger. Oh, here comes the champion now to talk about this fight.
Goliath enters with the Colonel.
GENE: Giant Goliath, and his manager the Colonel. Colonel, is your man ready
for this fight?
COLONEL: Are we ready? Weve been ready! Weve been waiting weeks for one of
these Miserable-ites to come out and face the giant. Hes ready, hes hungry, and hes
gonna crush his opponent.
GENE: I think we were all expecting maybe one of the elite guard from King Sauls
army to take up the challenge, but instead its a young shepherd boy. Goliath, what are
your thoughts?
SKIT
GOLIATH: Well let me tell you something, Mean Gene, I dont care if its a shepherd,
a soldier, or a whole bunch of soldiers, Im here for a fight, and theres nothing these
Israelites can throw at me that I cant handle.
COLONEL: Just look at the size of this man! His sword is giant, his shield is giant, his
spear is giant. His armor. His helmet. Hes a giant, Mean Gene! Do you think a little
shepherd boy can defeat a giant?
GENE: As I understand it, this shepherd boy has already killed a few wolves and lions
while defending his flocks.
COLONEL: That dont matter a hill of beans, Mean Gene! This is war! This aint no animal, this is a lean, mean fighting machine!
GENE: From what I understand, the boy David isnt even wearing armor. Hes got a
sling shot and a bag of rocks.
Goliath laughs.
GENE: And hes counting on the Lord to give him strength.
COLONEL: Wait! Did you say, the Lord?
GENE: Thats right, the same Lord that gave Samson his strength. The one who crumbled the walls of Jericho. The one who saved Israel from the wicked Pharaoh of Egypt.
GOLIATH: All I can say is good luck!
COLONEL: Goliath, buddy, this is no laughing matter. Weve gotta get you out of there!
If the Lord is on that kids side
GOLIATH: Get out of my way, Colonel! Im gonna crush that kid!
Goliath exits.
COLONEL: Goliath, no! Youre throwing your life away! Think about your family! Think
about your endorsements! And what about me??
