The B.A.N.G. Gang: Success!

A
ron tries to sneak into the house, while simultaneously closing the front door on the dogs following him. He shuts the door almost on a poodle’s nose, and heaves a sigh of relief — only to find himself face-to-face with his irate mother.

Characters:

• ARON, a slow-moving fellow who likes to take life easy
• BORUCH, trying to cope with a big sister who always knows better
• NOSON, clever and articulate, often talks in italics to make a point
• GERSHON, creative, and quick to think of new ideas

Scene 5

ARON’S MOTHER: Aha! Just the person I’m looking for. Do you know anything about a spilled jug of gravy on the kitchen counter?

ARON: A spilled jug? [He plays for time — then light dawns.] Oh my, that brown stuff was gravy! And it splashed on my shoes. No wonder those dogs were all over me….

ARON’S MOTHER: Dogs? What dogs? [She stops short.] And what’s that noise outside?
