Snowflakes Are Falling

ACT ONE

Scene One

We are at the bottom of a snowy hill. CAROLERS

dressed as angels are singing.

CAROLERS

Snowflakes Are Falling.aif

Snowflakes are falling

It’s that time of year

Chilly afternoons spent tumbling

Here, there, down the hill without a care

Oh, snowmen are showing up

Everywhere it seems

Standing guard they watch us race

and scream and yell

Down the hill we’re racing like the wind

Snowflakes are falling

(During the song we watch children sledding down a hill. As the song ends one of the sledders has knocked over a man who had been standing nearby reading a newspaper. The man comes to, and as he gets up, he sees the angels and falls back down.)

E.M. BEZZLEMENT

Not yet. Not yet. I’m not ready. Ahhhhhhh.

(ELF S enters from Stage Left. He is wearing a white coat and a doctor’s head scope and carries a doctor’s black bag. He pulls a striped sock out of the bag and waves it in front of the fallen man’s nose. E.M. Bezzlement on the ground snaps to quickly and gets up up holding his nose. An ELDERLY WOMAN enters Stage Right

ELDERLY WOMAN

(angrily)

E.M. Bezzlement, you scoundrel. You nincompoop. Wasting all the banks money on desert vacation land. Thief! Robber! You wiped us all out! Think of all the people you’ve ruined.

(Exiting)

You can’t have a vacation home on an atomic test site. You idiot.

(She beans him on the head with her umbrella.)
