| Summary: When a married couple finds themselves in heaven's waiting room, they can't resist taking a peek at that big book sitting on the desk marked "Reservations." Hoping to find their names in the Book of Life, they are shocked and quite dismayed to find the names of several others whom they would consider less than "saintly." "How did they get in here?" is the question most on the couple's mind, as they sit, stand, argue, nag and ponder over what it takes to make it to heaven. | |
| Excerpt: This is just a sample. (From page 2 of the skit) Greeter: (enters) I’m sorry to keep you waiting but St. Peter is running a little late. He asked me to tell you to make yourselves comfortable and he’ll be with you in just a few more minutes. (exits) Craig: You think they could at least give us some magazines to read. Lisa: I don’t think there’s a big need here for "Golfers Digest." Craig: Well, there has to be something around here to read. (noticing book on desk) Aha! Here’s a book. (picking it up) A very BIG book! Lisa: (going to over to Craig) It says "Reservations" on it. You don’t think that’s the book, do you? Craig: You mean the one with the list of names of all the people in heaven? Lisa: Yeah. Craig: Let’s open it and find out. Lisa: Can we do that? Craig: We were told to make ourselves comfortable, right? Well, wouldn’t you be a lot more comfortable knowing our names were in here? Lisa: Open the book! Craig: (He begins reading off a list of names) Marsha Carson, Emmit Snyder, Sheila Welch, Marvin Handler... Lisa: Marvin Handler? Are you sure? Craig: That’s what it says. Lisa: Let me see that. (grabs the book) There must be some mistake. He was an alcoholic. Craig: So, how’d he get in here? Lisa: I don’t know. (flips the page) John Kelsen, Mark Freeder... Craig: (continues reading) Martha Johnston, Kent Livingston, Madge Brooks...wait a minute, wasn’t she arrested for fraud several years ago? Lisa: Yes. She spent about 2 years in jail. I don’t understand what’s going on. We are in heaven, right? Craig: That’s what the sign says. Lisa: Then how come all these people are in here? They don’t deserve... |
