(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.
