George: (Looks up at Half Dome, eyes wide)  Wow....

Sally:  (Nudges him in the side) You ain't scared of a little mountain, are ya Georgie boy?

George: (Looks at her surprised) Who me?  Hah!  I ain't scared of nothin'!

Sally:
Yeah right, except mice and spiders and--

Dean:
  (Cuts her off)  Hey, a little fear in a man is a healthy thing, George.

Molly and Darlene come on stage, obviously worn out.

Joe:  What took you so long, ladies?

Molly: (Sarcasm)  Oh... we decided to stop and have our nails done.  (Shows him her hands.)  You like? (Turns to Darlene)  I don't know about you, but I'm pooped!

Darlene: (Collapses to the ground and starts untying her shoe)  I've got a rock in my shoe.

(Molly pulls out a compact and looks in the mirror, wipes the lipstick off her teeth, and plays with her hair)

The cast moves very quickly through the next dialogue...Molly continues to primp, Darlene removes her shoe, shakes out the rock and massages her feet...

Joe:
  (Making light of the situation he gestures to Sally)  She's hot, (to Molly) you're pooped, (Darlene) you picked up a rock, and I'm outta water.  What a team.

Darlene:  (Stands and directs her question to Dean) How much farther is it?

Molly: It better  not be too much farther !  My bladder's about to burst!

Dean:  (Not liking what he's been hearing) It's a measly 900 feet!

George:  (Stares up at the mountain, concern evident on his face) Boy, it's a lot steeper than I thought  it would be.

Dean:  It's a mountain, George!  Mountains are steep!  Why does that surprise you?  (Playfully slaps him on the back)  C'mon, buddy, it's really not that bad.  I've done Half Dome 10 times without breaking a sweat! 

Molly: Speaking of sweat, did anyone bring an anti-persperant?  I forgot mine. 

Dean: Trust me partner, once you get going you won't even notice how seep it is.

Sally:  Yeah, big guy, just don't look over the edge.  You'll be fine.

George:  (Stares at Sally in disbelief) Hey, I should be saying that you!  (To the group) When we were at the Grand Canyon Sally went to the edge of a cliff to take in the view.  She looked down and became so petrified that she had to get down on all fours and crawl away!

Sally: (Nudges him in the ribs) That's not true!

George:  It sure is!
