CUT!

Hey people? Guess what I have to do?

Yup, you guessed it, I have to write a play! About Korach! Yeah...So here's goes a scene!


(we see Korach (played by short girl with long black hair and cotton ball beard) in dusty tent sitting on a bench. Many bichorim (played by maniacle 1st graders) are gathered at his feet, listening to his speech.)


KORACH: (getting comfortable on bench) So, my young fellows. What's up?

BACHOR #1: the sky?

BACHOR #2: the annania hacovode?

BACHOR #3: gas prices?

KORACH: (sighing) no, no, no. I'd just like to ask you all. Do you like your current jobs?

BACHOR #1: Oh yes, it's very nice.

BACHOR #2: (nodding) yeah, can't complain.

BACHOR #3: mine gives out free sodas!

KORACH: Now think about it. Are these very honorable jobs?

BACHOR #1: nah...

BACHOR #2: not really...

BACHOR #3: (pondering) is being a popcorn vender honorable?

BACHOR #1: no, it kinda makes people want to strangle you.

BACHOR #2: yeah, ecspecially when you scream at the top of your voice 'POPCORN!!!!'

BACHOR #3: Oh...

KORACH: do you think it's unfair that other people get better jobs than you?

BACHOR #1: yeah...

BACHOR #2: uh-huh...

BACHOR #3: I'm hungry!

KORACH: What if I gave you a better job?

BACHOR #1: huh?

BACHOR #2: What kind of job?

BACHOR #3: is it better than being a popcorn vender?

KORACH: Well, say, a job in the mishkan?

BACHOR #1: That would be pretty cool..

BACHOR #2: but I thought Moshe took away our right to work in the mishkan...

BACHOR #3: I wonder if they would let me sell popcorn INSIDE the mishkan...

KORACH: Exactly. Moshe took away your right to work in the mishkan and gave it to the leviyim. Do you know why?

BACHOR #1: no, why?

BACHOR #2: why?

BACHOR #3: didn't it have something to do with the golden whats-it thing?

KORACH: (ignoring bachor #3) because HE's a levi, and his BROTHER is a levi. Moshe wanted all the glory, and he wanted glory for his brother also, so he took away your kahoona.

BACHOR #1 & 2: gasp!

BACHOR #3: but I thought he was our leader!

KORACH: If I were leader, I would make sure the bachorim would get all the honor, and you wouldn't be stuck with lowly jobs like a popcorn vender!

BACHOR #1: yeah!

BACHOR #2: let's go! Down with Moshe!

KORACH: yes...join me, and together we will rule the galaxy!!!!

BACHORIM: (confused)

KORACH: sorry, just my alter ego, there....

BACHOR #1: anyway, he's right! Moshe cheated us!

BACHOR #2: Yeah! Vote Korach!

BACHOR #3: Down with the emperor!!

BACHORIM & KORACH: (staring blankly at #3)

KORACH: there's work to be done! Come my fellow citizens!

(we see KORACH and BACHORIM 1 &2 march off out of the tent. 3 is left standing there)

BACHOR #3: um...

(awkard silence)

BACHOR #3: yeah.......I'm still cool....

(end scene)

by the way, i'm pretty sure bachor #3 was the voice of reason. I have the sudden urge to gnaw my fingers.
