NARRATOR
Our friend Jeff could not be with us tonight, because he is on a tour of our national parks. But he has sent us a No Shame "postcard" so that all of you can experience his adventures firsthand, through the magic of theatre.

(Enter "Jeff", hiking in place.)

NARRATOR (reading from postcard):
"Dear No Shame... Hello! Today, I am in Sequoia National Park in California.
There is only one way to describe these magnificent giants:

JEFF (looking up:)
GOD DAMN, those are big trees. They're fucking huge!

(Enter a Badger)

BADGER Heh heh. I'm a badger!
Or maybe I'm a beaver.
You don't know, do ya?

JEFF
You look like a badger to me.

BADGER
Heh heh. Sucker!

(Badger exits. Jeff resumes hiking in place)

NARRATOR
Dear No Shame. Hello!
Next, I visited Death Valley, California, the hottest place in the world!
...Of America.

JEFF (wiping away sweat)
DAMN, it's hot! It's fucking hot here!

(Enter Lizard - same actor as the Badger)

LIZARD Heh heh. I'm a little lizard. A little rock lizard.
Bet you thought I was a rattle snake.

JEFF
I did not!

LIZARD
Fucking pussy.

(Lizard exits. Jeff resumes hiking.)

NARRATOR
Dear No Shame... Hello, from the Hoover Dam!
Words escape me.
Well... one word:

JEFF (looking down)
DAMN! (beat) ...DAMN!!

NARRATOR
Come back next week for more exciting vicarious adventures in our national parks, when Jeff visits the Grand Canyon.

JEFF (looking down - into the audience)
Hellooooo...
Hellooooooooo...

(Enter Wildcat - same as Badger)

WILDCAT
Heh heh. I'm a mountain lion. Grrr...
Psyche! I'm just somebody's cat. Heh heh.

JEFF (to Wildcat)
You suck, nature!

WILDCAT
Stay outta my habitat, city boy!

JEFF & WILDCAT (turn to audience and wave)
Bye for now!!
