Another Man's Treasure



Rachel: “Today I heard a jingling noise in the house and I thought it was you, but no one answered when I called out. I got scared a robber might be in the house so I went into my room, locked the door, lay in my bed, and listened to a sermon.”

Criz: “What if when you had come out of your room our house was empty because everything had been stolen?”

Rachel: “That’d be funny...” (Thinks about it for a minute) “What would they steal? We don’t have anything valuable.”

(both look around the living room for something valuable)

Rachel: “They wouldn’t take our TV... Who would even want that thing?”

(Both look at the TV---an old set from the 90s, probably weighing 100 lbs and taking up the space of one of the first computers.)

Criz: “Yeah, we don’t really have anything worth anything…except maybe that record player. It cost me $30 on Ebay.”

Rachel (nods in agreement and then adds seriously): “It’s probably the most valuable thing in here.”

Criz: “That’s so weird. I mean we have a nice place I think, with cute things, but nothing really that…”

Rachel (cutting in): “…that you couldn’t find at a thrift store.”

(Both laugh and then go and make coffee)
