MRS. TAYLOR:  I didn’t like it.

 

MONICA:  You don’t like anything, mom.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  (looking around) Oh my goodness!.  What happened?.

 

AMANDA: Oh no, someone broke into our house!.

 

MONICA:  It can’t be!.  Look at all this mess!.

 

(Mrs. Taylor picks up the lamp)

 

AMANDA: No!. Leave everything as it is.  I’ll call the cops. (she takes the phone, dials a number, and talks in a low voice)

 

MONICA: I’ll go to my bedroom. I hope they didn’t take anything!.  (she leaves the stage) 

 

AMANDA: (hangs up the phone) The cops are coming.

 

MONICA: (enters the stage)  They took my Michael Kors watch!. 

 

AMANDA: Poor sister…it cost you a lot of money.  I told you many times not to buy it!.

 

MONICA:  I know!.  Next time I’ll buy a fake one. 

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  (to Amanda)  Go to your room and mine and check if there’s something missing.  Meanwhile, I’ll go to the kitchen.

 

AMANDA:  Yes mother.  (They leave the stage.  A few minutes later they enter the stage) They didn’t take anything!.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: Thank God!.  There are some things missing in the kitchen.  They took the blender, the toaster, and the coffee maker.

 

AMANDA:  Where’s Niki?. I haven’t heard him barking.

 

MONICA:  That’s true.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: (yelling)  Niki!.  Niki!.

 

AMANDA: I’ll look for him. (leaves the stage)

 

MONICA: It’s weird he didn’t come to the door when we got home.

 

(Amanda enters the stage)

 

AMANDA:  Niki is not here!. 

 

MRS. TAYLOR, AMANDA AND MONICA: They stole Niki!.

 

AMANDA: They took our dear dog!.

 

MONICA:  What am I going to do without him?. 

 

MRS. TAYLOR: Calm down girls.

 

(There’s a knock at the door)

 

AMANDA:  That must be the police.  I’ll open the door. (she opens the door)  

 

POLICE 1:  We got a call about a robbery.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: That’s right officer, please come in.

 

(Police 1 and 2 enter)

 

POLICE 2: (taking notes) Good afternoon, mam.  At what time did you find out about the robbery, and what did they take?.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  We came back from the movies about twenty minutes ago.  When we came in there was a mess in the living room.  The thieves took my daughter’s Michael Kors watch, and they also took the blender, the toaster, and the coffee maker.  

 

POLICE 1:  Is that all?.

 

AMANDA:  No!. 

 

MONICA:  They also took our dog!.

 

POLICE 2:  Well, that’s unusual.

 

POLICE 1:  What breed is your dog?.

 

AMANDA:  We don’t make differences between dogs.  That’s discrimination!.  To us, dogs are the same and we love them all.

 

POLICE 1:  That’s fine, but we need more information about your dog so we can find him.  How was your dog?.

 

AMANDA:  If you tell me “how was your dog” it means that our dog is dead, but to us he’s not dead.  He is alive…somewhere else.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  I hope so!.

 

AMANDA:  Mom, don’t be so negative!.

 

POLICE 2:  Please, forgive my partner, and just describe your dog.

 

MONICA:  He’s beautiful.  He likes to play.  He sleeps all afternoon. He wags his tail when we come home from work, and …

 

POLICE 2:  I mean physically!.

 

AMANDA:  He’s white with black spots.  He has a lot of hair, and he’s wearing a blue collar with his name on it…Niki.

 

POLICE 1:  Very good.  I hope we can find him soon, as well as the other objects they stole from you.

 

(There’s  a noise at the door)

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  Did you hear that strange noise?.  It seems like if someone is scratching the door.  I’ll see who it is.  (she opens the door) It’s Niki!.

 

AMANDA AND MONICA: (hugging the dog) Niki, where have you been?. We missed you a lot!.

 

(Nikki runs toward Police 1 and bites and pulls his pants)

 

AMANDA:  I know Niki. He wants you to follow him.  

 

POLICE 2:  Let’s see what he wants, then.

 

(They all leave the stage)

 

ACT 2:  IN THE STREET

 

(They all enter the stage following Niki)

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  He’s going to our neighbor’s house.

 

(Niki stops in front of the door)

 

POLICE 1:  I’ll knock, and please, stay away from the door.  It can be dangerous!.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: I know my neighbors really well. They have always been so kind to me!.   

 

AMANDA:  Mom, there a saying that goes: “We can see the faces, but we do not know the hearts”. They never say hi to me!.

 

MONICA: Me neither!.

 

(Police 1 knocks at the door.  Thief 1 opens the door and Niki starts growling and barking)

 

 

THIEF 1:  (frightened and yelling) Take that dog out of here!.  He bit me, look at my hand!.

 

POLICE 2:  You had this dog here with you?.

 

THIEF 1: Oh, I’m sorry…that’s not what I meant.  I made a mistake.

 

(Thief 2 approaches Thief 1.  Thief 2 is holding the toaster)

 

THIEF 2:  Stop talking to these people, we have a lot of work to do.  

 

THIEF 1: It’s the police!.

 

THIEF 2: What?.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  That’s my toaster!.

 

THIEF 1 AND 2:  We’ve been caught!.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  So you were also robbing our neighbor’s house!.

 

POLICE 1:  You are under arrest!.

 

THIEF 2:  Take your toaster, mam. I prefer another brand. (gives the toaster to Mrs. Taylor)

 

(Police 2 cuffs Thief 1 and 2.  Police 1 enters the house and comes back with the blender and the coffee maker)

 

 

POLICE 1:  (to Mrs. Taylor)  Are these yours?.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: Yes, that’s my blender and my coffee maker!.

 

POLICE 1:  (gives the blender and the coffee maker to Mrs. Taylor) Take them, but tomorrow first thing in the morning you need to go to the police station to file a report.

 

MRS. TAYLOR: We will, officer. 

 

MONICA:  What about my watch?.

 

POLICE 1: (to Thief 2)  Where’s the watch you took from her house?

 

THIEF 2:  Was it a Michael Kors wrist watch?.

 

MONICA:  Yes!.

 

THIEF 2: I have it on.

 

 

(Police 1 takes the watch from Thief 2)

 

 

POLICE 1: (gives the watch to Monica) Here’s your watch.

 

MONICA:  Thank you so much!.

 

THIEF 2:  (to Mónica) The watch wasn’t working, so I had to buy a new battery.  You owe me five dollars lady!.

 

MONICA:  You should be ashamed of yourself!.

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  (to Police 1 and 2) Thank you very much for helping us.

 

POLICE 2:  Your dog was the one who led us to the thieves.

 

POLICE 1:  Have a nice day.

 

(Police 1 and 2, and Thief 1 and 2 leave the stage)

 

MRS. TAYLOR:  Today has been a long day.  Let’s go home and get some rest!.

 

AMANDA AND MONICA:  Let’s go Niki!.

 

 

(They leave the stage)
