Script
Goldie: That can't be right, you must have misheard.
Frankie: No, they definitely, definitely said they are going to find a baby.
Myrrvin: A baby camel? aww how cute.
Frankie: (sarcastically) A Baby camel, no not a baby camel. Apparently he is going to be the King of the Jews. A very special baby.
Goldie: But they have a king.
Frankie: Maybe he'll be a better King.
Myrrvin: Can't be much worse.
Goldie and Frankie together: Myrrvin.
Myrrvin: What? You were both thinking it, I just said it.
**********************************************************************
Myrrvin: Are we nearly there yet?
Frankie: I have no idea.
Goldie: How much further? My feet are killing me.
Frankie: We have been travelling a long time, so I doubt it will be much further now.
Goldie: You said that an hour ago.
Myrrvin: Bet they don't even know where they are going.
Frankie: They are following a bright star, they said.
Goldie: Brilliant, that’s just brilliant. I mean there aren't many of them in the sky are there.
Myrrvin: We're doomed, lost, never to return home again.
Frankie: Wait. Look, if I'm not mistaken that's where the King lives.
Goldie: Finally, a break.
Myrrvin: A well earnt rest. Wake me up in a couple of hours, just going to have a long long snooze.
**********************************************************************
Myrrvin: (sleepily) What, What's happening? What's going on?
Frankie: They said it wasn't the right place.
Goldie: What do you mean, not the right place?
Myrrvin: No baby then.
Frankie: Yes, just not here, they need to keep looking.
Myrrvin: Noooooooooooooo.
Goldie: Great job they did of following that bright star then. So now what are they going to do?
Frankie: Keep following that bright star, I imagine.
Myrrvin: Nooooooooooooooooo.
Goldie: Well they better make sure they keep an eye on it this time, as I don't think I can go on much further.
Frankie: Oh come on you two, it will all be worth it in the end.
Myrrvin and Goldie together: (sulkily) Whatever.
Frankie: Ok but just you wait and see.
Myrrvin: (gasping for breath) Can’t go on.
Goldie: I don't think I'm going to make it. (quietly) Help me.
Frankie: Wait. I think we're there.
Goldie: What, don't be daft, this is no place for a King.
Frankie: It must be, they are going in.
Myrrvin: (sleepily) Fine by me, snooze time here I come.
*******************************************************************
Goldie: Hey my turn, let me see.
Frankie: Wait a minute.
Myrrvin: Ssshhhhhhh, camel trying to sleep here.
Goldie: He's so cute.
Frankie: He is isn't he? And I heard them say that his name is Jesus, God’s Son.
Myrrvin: (moodily as they are keeping him awake) Well, as you two won't let me sleep, let me see. (Pushing his way through)
Frankie and Goldie together: Hey.
Myrrvin: Aww what a cutie. See I told you he would be worth all that hard work, but you wouldn't listen, would you. Tut tut.
