THE PAJAMA GAME - Act 1 : Page 05
CUES SCRIPT
PREP MABEL R 1 HELPER: The whole second floor was broke down and they
couldn’t find him ... he was fixing a boiler and then he
yells at me. I don’t stand for that. There’s plenty of
other places 1 can work. I don’t have to take that
crap off nobody.
SID Give me a screw driver.
1 HELPER You know what they’re paying at the packing plant.
Ninety-three up. That ain’t hay neither.
MABEL ENTER SR SID Screw driver!
MABEL Oh, Mr. Sorokin.
SID Yes, Mabel?
MABEL Mr. Hasler’s gone to the shipping room. He wants
you right away.
SID I’ve got to finish this. 1 can’t ...
MABEL Yes I know. Mr. Hasler’s kind of difficult sometimes.
You’re the 3rd superintendent we’ve had this year.
SID And I’m the last one you’ll have this year, Mabel,
cause I want this job.
1 HELPER Oh, you don’t say.
MABEL Now you’re talking, boy.
SID Bring me a switch.
MABEL EXIT SL MABEL I’ll tell him you’re awful busy.
SID: Thanks
1 HELPER: And let me tell you something else. They’re paying
eighty-four up at the casket company.
SID: My gosh, you’d be a sensation up at the casket
company. Maybe you could get a job as a tester and
just lie around in coffins all day long. Now hurry it up.
1 HELPER I’m hurrying.
SID Well, hurry faster
1 HELPER Hey, you can’t do that to me.
SID The hell I can’t. I just did. Got the screws?
1 HELPER: Well, I’ll fix you. I’m getting the Grievance Committee.
SID Go get them. It’ll give you something to do.
