CHARACTERS

Ed- A man who has to pee

Jake- An insightful but inconsiderate guy

A door on stage has a sign on it that says "MEN." Jake leans on the door. Ed enters, doing the "pee pee" dance, and walks to the door. He REALLY has to go!

ED: Is this the men's room?

JAKE: Why yes it is.

ED: You mind if I...?

JAKE: Do you need in?

ED: What does it look like?

JAKE: Looks to me like you're doing the pee-pee dance.

Ed nods vigorously.

JAKE: Ha ha. Bet you had a large coffee this morning, didn't you?

ED: Two.

JAKE: I know how that goes. You wake up on the Lord's day, exhausted from all you did on Saturday. You down that first coffee before your eyes are fully awake, and by the time you get to the bottom of the second--

ED: I gotta go!

JAKE: You bet you do! All that coffee goes right through you, pressing against the inner walls of your bladder like the floodwaters behind a dam. The pressure builds and builds until you think you're gonna explode!

ED: Will you just let me go!

JAKE: That's urgency, my friend, and that's exactly what Jesus had in mind when he gave the Great Commission.

ED: He what?

JAKE: God doesn't want us to be timid about spreading the gospel. He wants us to have that same urgency about carrying the gospel to the world. He wants us so full with the Holy Spirit, we have to let it out before we explode.

ED: Dude, I AM gonna explode!!

JAKE: Oh, I wish all believers were like you. People just take what they have for granted. If you ask me, they don't know what it's really like to drink of the waters of life, to fill up to the point that you're ready to pour out streams of blessings on the world about you.

Ed groans loudly in pain.

JAKE: Just imagine if all believers would open themselves up and allow God to pour his Spirit into the deepest parts of them. He would fill us like new wineskins, stretching us past our limits, stretching, pushing, until we burst forth, spilling the joy of the Lord like the mighty Niagara, torrents of blessings splashing down on the world around us!

ED: This is an emergency!!

JAKE: You bet it is! The world need a Savior! They need us to pour out God's message of grace on every hill and valley!

ED: I'm about to pour out on this carpet!

JAKE: Thank you, my friend, thank you for being a symbol of what God wants all of his children to be: filled with urgency to spread the gospel through all the world!

ED: Will you just let me in the bathroom?

JAKE: (sort of comes back to reality) Look, if you gotta go, just go on in.

ED: Really?

JAKE: Sure, it's unlocked.

ED: (opening the door) Why didn't you say so?

JAKE: Because if I did, it would have been a really short drama.

Ed stares at Jake as he exits singing, "I've got a river of life..." Ed shakes his head and races through the door, then exits.
