(Scene opens with Doug Funnie and Roger Klotz walking down the hallway at Bluffington Elementary)
Doug: (excitedly) Hey, Skeeter! Guess what? I'm starting a new journal entry about my nemesis, the green guy.
Roger: (offended) Green guy?
Doug: (oblivious) Yeah, you know, Roger. You're always causing trouble.
Roger: (hurt) You mean because of my skin?
Doug: (realizing) Oh, no, Roger! I didn't mean it like that!
Roger: (angrily) Save it, Funnie! You think I don't know people stare at me because of my skin?
Doug: (apologetic) Roger, I swear, I wasn't thinking!
Roger: (bitterly) Yeah, right.
(Roger storms off)
Doug: (to himself) Why didn't I just call him Roger?
(Skeeter approaches Doug)
Skeeter: (concerned) Doug, what's wrong?
Doug: (guiltily) I accidentally offended Roger.
Skeeter: (knowingly) Ah, yeah. You gotta be careful with that stuff.
Doug: (determined) I'll make it right.
(Doug chases after Roger)
Doug: (calling out) Roger, wait!
Roger: (stopping) What?
Doug: (sincerely) I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Roger: (softening) Just watch what you say, okay?
Doug: (relieved) Deal.
(Roger and Doug shake hands)
Doug: (to himself) Note to self: Be more careful with words.
(Scene ends)
