No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

Summary:

School playground. Mid-day.
Rowley and Greg are at a playground, where Greg is trying to get Rowley to face his fears of the monkey bars.

Notes:

This is supposed to be an alphabet play, where the dialogue has to start with the letter of the alphabet.
This was for a school assignment.
This was indeed turned into my college professor.
Will keep updated on the final grade and comments from professor.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Rowley
Are you sure this is safe?

Greg
Bro, I'm so sure this is safe.

Rowley
Cause the look in your eyes says otherwise.

Greg
Dude, when do I ever lie to you?

Rowley
Everyday, Greg, everyday.

Greg
First of all, white lies are barely lies, and secondly I’ve told harsher lies to my mom and dad

Rowley
Gregory!

Greg
How dare you use my real name Rowley! You know I don’t like the name Gregory!

Rowley
I’m trying to get you to see how scared I am right now!

Greg
Just so you know Rowley, I saw a few kindergarteners doing this and they survived.

Rowley
KINDERGARTENERS??!

Greg
Look, you will be so fine, if they can survive this, you can too.

Rowley
Maybe I should call my mom, tell her I love her and what to do with all of my stuff if I die.

Greg
Now Rowley, you don’t need to exaggerate that far.

Rowley
Only she knows where my most prized possession is, and she needs to get rid of it after I die.

Greg
Please listen to yourself Rowley, you are not going to die, no one ever dies from things like this.

Rowley
Quit that, I researched this stuff and people have died doing this!

Greg
Really?

Rowley
Seriously Greg, Monkey bars are very high and scary!

Greg
Trust me Rowley, monkey bars won’t hurt you.

Rowley
Unless I fall on my head and break one of my upper vertebrae!

Greg
Very unlikely since there are tire-chips under them

Rowley
Whatever, I guess here goes nothing.

Greg
Xylophones used to help me when I was using the monkeybars, try thinking of them.

Rowley
You know what, that might actually help me Greg, thank you.

Rowley
Zoo-wee mama Greg, I did it!

Notes:

Good news Y'all, my professor gave me an A on this assignment
bad news is that I did not get any comments from them :(
