Summary:

Two "wanna be" Jersey Shore girls, Pookie and Valentine, invade a youth mission trip in Costa Rica.  The girls are there to party and "hook up" but the others in the group don't approve of their lifestyle.  The guys in the group are somewhat torn between the girls good looks, and their own values and morals.  As one teen puts it, "We're Christians; we're not dead." The girls try to convince Pookie and Valentine that their way of life doesn't lead to happiness but in the end, they don't want anything to do with what they consider to be God's way.

Jersey Shore No More

Setting: A very sparse room that resembles a hut. Suitcases, blankets, pillows etc. are strewn about the room.

As the scene opens, two teenage girls, Donna and Sammi, and two teenage boys, Rob and Joe, are huddled around a small table looking over various papers and talking softly amongst each other. After a moment, teenage brother and sister, Kristi and Cody enter, each carrying some firewood. They are all dressed rather simply in t-shirts, shorts, tennis shoes or hiking boots, etc.—clothes you would work outside in.

Kristi:

(enters) Look what we found.  (indicating the firewood) Now we’ll be able to start a fire for dinner. 

Cody:

(enters behind Kristi) That’s not all we found.  Wait til you see get a load of our last two arrivals!

Cody and Kristi lay the wood down in a pile at the corner of the stage

Kristi:

(scolding) Cody, be nice! You can’t always judge people based on appearances.

Cody:

I know but…

Donna:

(interrupting) Kristi’s right, you shouldn’t form opinions about people just on how they look.  It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Cody:

You’re only saying that cause you didn’t see their outsides! I’m not sure they’re going to fit in here this summer.

Rob:

At least give ‘em a chance, Cody.  They might surprise you. 

Cody:

Oh, I think they’re going to surprise you

Kristi:

Well, I didn’t actually get see these girls but I wouldn’t pay too much attention to my brother—he’s been known to exaggerate.

Cody:

(defensive) I’m not exaggerating! 

Joe:

Even if he isn’t, what difference does it make? We’re in Costa Rica on a mission trip to help the people and the village here, not scope out babes. 

Rob:

Right.  Let’s not forget what our focus is.

Sammi:

I agree.  I’m sure the girls are perfectly nice and everything will be just fine.  Besides, they wouldn’t be here if they didn’t have a heart for mission work, right?

Cody:

I don’t think that’s where their heart’s desire is.  I’m telling you…

Kristi:

(interrupting) Get over yourself, Cody. I’m sure they’re not that bad.

Pookie:

(voice heard from off stage) I think this is it. 

Valentine:

(voice heard off stage) Get ready for the best summer of our lives!

Cody:

(hearing the voices, he turns in the direction they came from, smiles to himself, and then speaks to the others) Okay, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Pookie and Valentine enter.  They are two teenage girls dressed very “seductively” with heavy make-up and big hair.  The more outrageous their clothes are, the better. (Suggestions: some kind of leopard or zebra prints, black leather, tank tops, very brightly colored high heels or dressy boots etc.  Anything that is fashionably “seductive” and attention getting. Their clothes should be in stark contrast to the simplicity of all the others.)

 

As they enter, Pookie and Valentine make a grand entrance—very confident and bold.  They each carry one very small handbag and one medium-sized handbag.  As soon as Valentine and Pookie enter the stage, all eyes are on them—everyone stares at them with eyes wide open as if in disbelief at what they are seeing.

Valentine:

We’ve arrived!

Pookie:

Let the party begin!

As they each stride in, Valentine immediately goes to Rob and sits on his lap, draping her arm around his neck, as Pookie does the same with Joe. If you feel this is too racy for your teens, the girls could simply put their arm around the guys shoulders. 

Pookie:

(to Rob) Wanna make out behind the hut?

Valentine:

(to Joe) What she said. (indicating Pookie)

Except for Cody, everyone else’s jaws drop as they all stare in utter disbelief.

Cody:

(smiling, shaking his head) I tried to tell you.

Rob:

(awkwardly begins to stutter, looking at Pookie)  Um…umm…I…I…

Joe:

(also awkward, looking at Valentine) What he said. (indicating Rob)

Donna, Sammi and Kristi look at each other curiously, dumbfounded

Kristi:

(after a moment, she speaks to Pookie and Valentine somewhat awkwardly) Hi. I think you two are the last of our group to arrive.  I’m Kristi by the way.  It’s nice to meet you.

Donna:

And I’m Donna and this is Sammi.

Pookie:

(not taking her eyes off of Rob, she looks at him longingly) I’m Pookie.

Rob:

(mesmerized) What a beautiful name.  

Valentine:

(not taking her eyes off of Joe) I’m Valentine. 

Joe:

(mesmerized) Would you be mine?

Cody:

(clearing his throat) Hey Joe, Rob, we’re here to help the people of the village, not scope out babes, remember?

Joe:

(mesmerized by Valentine for a moment, not paying much attention to Cody) What?  (snaps out of it) Oh, right.  (immediately stands up, dropping Valentine to the floor)

Rob:

(also suddenly realizing what he’s doing) Right, me too. (He immediately stands up and dumps Pookie on the floor)

Pookie:

Hey!

Rob:

(helping her up) Oh, sorry!

Joe:

I’m so sorry! (helps Valentine up)

Sammi:

So, where are you girls from?

Pookie:

Jersey. 

Valentine:

As in Jersey Shore.

Donna:

Like the t.v. show?

Valentine:

Yeah. 

Donna, Sammi, Kristi, Rob, Joe and Cody:

(in unison, drawing out the word in realization) Oooooh!

Kristi:

That explains a lot.

Valentine:

Yeah, we love that show!  I like Sweetheart.  She’s so gorgeous and she always has all the guidos fighting over her!

Pookie:

Snooki is my hero.  I want to be just like her.

Cody:

(sarcastic) I’d say you’re well on your way.

Pookie:

(smiling, taking it as a compliment) Thank you!

Kristi:

So, what brought you two here?

Pookie:

The mission of course. 

Valentine:

Yeah, were on a mission to get as many Tacos as we can.

Kristi:

(very confused) What?

Valentine:

We came for the Tacos.

Rob:

You came all the way to Costa Rica to eat tacos?

Pookie:

No! We came to meet the Tacos—you know, all the native men of Costa Rica. 

Cody:

I think you mean Ticos

Pookie:

Tacos, Ticos…whatever.

Donna:

So you came to Costa Rica to meet guys?

Valentine:

Not just any guys, rich guys.

Donna:

How do you know their rich?

Valentine:

Duh! Costa Rica means “rich coast.” 

Pookie:

Which means all the Tacos down here have mucho money.

Cody:

Ticos.

Pookie:

Tacos, Ticos…Who cares? Just as long as their rich.
