Swiper Takes a Bath

Swiper takes a bath
 Act 1

 
Dad and Mom are in the kitchen making dinner - somewhat frantically because they are running behind. Vienna is playing with Hudson. Bristol is not in the room.

Bristol enters the kitchen

Bristol: Look Mama! Swiper is all clean. (Carrying a dripping wet Swiper and leaving a small river behind her as she crosses the kitchen - she is also drenched)

Vienna: Oh, Bristol! Was Swiper dirty? Did you give him a bath? That was a good idea huh Mom?

Dad: This one is all yours babe. (Turns back to his cooking)

Mom: Bristol - where did you give Swiper a bath at? (Voice blended between outrage and humor)

Bristol: In the Potty - Swiper dirty - I washed him! (Big, smile. Obviously very pleased with herself)

Vienna: (Smells Swiper) Oooh he smells so clean now! Are you happy to be clean Swiper? I love to take baths. (Vienna is now also soaking wet from hugging Swiper)

Bristol: Uh-huh

Mom: Bristol - we don't put our toys in the potty! The potty is not a toy - now we have to wash Swiper in the washing machine.

Vienna: (Bursts into tears) But Swiper is already clean Mom!!! He will get scared - you don't do that!! (Grabs Swiper and runs - dripping water all over the floor and carpet)

Bristol: (Bursts into tears) Ne-na took Swiper away - give him back! (Runs after Vienna - slips in puddle of water - starts screaming)

Mom: Vienna give me Swiper! (Picks up crying Bristol - gets herself soaking wet) Vienna bring me Swiper right now! 1 - 2 - last chance - (Vienna returns Swiper - Hudson starts crying.

Dad: Girls come sit on the couch....

Mom: The floor! (Now holding crying Hudson - who is also now wet)

Dad: Come sit on the floor girls. (Gives some generic no fighting or playing in the toilet lecture)
Mom and Dad return to cooking dinner. Bristol and Vienna head to the toy room -


Vienna: Bristol - I think that Noodle and Dora need a bath now to okay?

Bristol: Okay Ne-Na!
