ANNIE OAKLEY
SCRIPT SAMPLE

"Annie Oakley" is packed full of the riproaring fun of Buffalo's Wild West Show!  Annie falls in love with showman Frank, but first she's got to get a few things straight.

BILL: Before anybody knew what happened, Annie Oakley became the Wild West’s most shining star!

(ANNIE turns, ALL applaud.)

ANNIE: (hop and kick) Hot-diggety-dog!

(Sound subsides, JESS and BILL exit. FRANK helps ANNIE down.)

ANNIE: I hope you don’t mind, Frank.

FRANK: Mind? Why should I mind? Just ‘cuz nobody ever beat me in a shootin’ match before you? Just ‘cuz I used to be Buffalo Bill’s biggest star! What do I care if I get whupped by a girl?

ANNIE: You ain’t been whupped, Frank. Why, we’re a team, you and me. And as I think you noticed, I ain’t just a girl no more.

FRANK: (takes box from his vest) I been carrying this around for some time now. Weren’t sure if I should give it to you.

ANNIE: What is it? A peace pipe?

FRANK: I decided. If I can’t beat ya... better join ya’.

(Gives HER a box, SHE opens it, diamond ring. SHE smiles, away from HIM, then becomes solemn.)

ANNIE: You gotta understand, Frank. I come into my own now. I ain’t like other ladies. I come and go and do as I please. And no diamond ring is ever gonna change that.

(ANNIE holds ring out to HIM, HE covers HER hands with his.)

FRANK:Annie, you’s a army a polecats all bound up in five feet of woman. Don’t ever change, I don’t think I’d survive!

(THEY look at each other in silent agreement. FRANK starts to kiss HER, SHE puts out HER hand for a shake.)

ANNIE: Partners?

FRANK: Partners.

ANNIE: As for this ring, take it back. I got no use for diamonds. (walks away)

FRANK: But Annie, a fella’s supposed to give his gal a ring!

ANNIE: I got no use for "supposed to" neither. Buy me a horse I can call my own!

(We hear cheers: SOUND CUE #12.

JESS enters.)

JESS: (leading ANNIE, on "horseback")  Frank did just that and every night Annie rode into the arena atop her handsome white stallion, My Own, blowin’ kisses at her adoring fans...

(ANNIE turns on the cube, blowing kisses, SHE sees FRANK and blows a special kiss to HIM. HE catches it on his cheek.)

FRANK: That’s my Annie.
