Motion01: Don & Mary approach the designated location.

Motion02: Don looks like he’s about to propose to Mary (holds his head down).

Motion03: Two Students approach holding a wanted poster in hand acting as if they appear to recognize Don.

Motion04: Student01 approaches Don from the front and gently moves Mary to one side, while Student02 approaches Don from the rear.

Student01: Say you look familiar to me! Don't I know you?

Motion05: Student02 appears to be looking back and forth at a paper in his hands (wanted poster) and Don. He then gives a "yes" nod to Student01.

Student01: Is your name Donald Conley?

Don: Yes. Is there a problem?

Student02: Were you a student here in the Fall of 1972?

Don: Yes. This is really a bad time, could we talk about this in a moment?

Student01: Were you here again in the Fall of 1974? And 1976?

Motion06: Student02 maneuvers behind Don, ready to restrain him.

Don: (confused and anxious, looking around nervously) Yes. I’m just here to…….

Motion07: Student02 in Don’s mid-sentence grabs Don’s arms behind his back in a restraining motion. Student01 quickly moves around to place handcuffs on Don.

Student01: Sir we're the ACU chivalry patrol and we're placing you under a citizen's arrest!

Don: (confused and nervous) What you can't do this! And exactly what did I do?

Motion08: Student02 hands the wanted poster to Student01 which has a 1972 picture (I will bring poster) of Don with the caption "Wanted for Cowardice and Failure in the pursuit of Love".

Student01: Sir is this you on this poster?

Don: Yes! Hey you can't do this!

Motion09: Student02 is becoming visibly upset!

Student02: Man are you gonna get it when the rest of the guys in our club hear we caught you!

Motion10: Don interrupts Student02.

Don: I know my rights and this is a mistake!

Student01: Hey Stan (Student02), do you know what this scumbag did?

Student02: Shot someone?

Student01: No, at this very university 28 years ago he chickened out when he had the opportunity to tell this lovely young woman that he has been in love with her since they were ten years old!

Don: What! How would you know that? Is this a joke?

Student02: Hey scumbag we’re a Christian University! Love is no joking matter here!

Don: There’s no law against….

Motion11: A crowd of VERY LARGE ANGRY LOOKING young men starts to gather!

Student01: (cutting Don off, talking to Mary) Our apologies Ma’am for not catching this culprit sooner, but dang he runs fast!

Don: But Mary, I was coming here to….

Student02: (pushing Don down to his knees) Down on your knees you wimp when you’re in the presence of a Lady!

Don: Mary honest I….

Student01: Stan this scumbag could’ve made the track team the way he ran outa here. He ran so fast in ’72 he left a yellow streak a mile long!

Student02: Ollie (Student01), a good beating is too nice for a creep like this. We ought to run him outa town on a rail!

Don: A RAIL! Hey, Hey!

CrowdMan: Hey guys we volunteer to do it! Our apologies Ma’am!

Don: Oh for cryin out loud, Comon!

Student01: What’s even worse Stan, is this super scumbag had a second chance in Fall ’74! And with this beautiful young woman in his sights he did it again!

Student02: That’s outrageous! A rail is too good for him! Let’s bring lynching back! What do you say guys (to the whole crowd)!

Don: Hey, this is outa control!

Student01: Hold it Stan! We are one of the finest Christian Universities in the World! Maybe we should try and let this worthless hunk of flesh have one more chance. After all we do believe in redemption here at ACU!

CrowdMan: Oh Shucks!

Student02: (to the whole crowd) Well folks what do y’all think? You want this scumbag to have one more chance?

Don: (looking down)

Student01: (talking to Mary) Ma’am I guess we ought to leave it up to you. Do you want to give him one more chance?

Mary: (hopefully says yes! Assuming she says yes…).

Student01: (talking to Mary) Ma’am Do you have a poem you wrote to him, on you? (Mary will have two poems on her, one from her to me and one from me to her).

Student01: (talking to Don) Here you, read this aloud! (Don must now read the poem).

Student02: (talking to Don) Louder! (Don finishes reading the poem).

Student01: (talking to Mary) Ma’am Do you have another poem he wrote to you? (Mary gives him the second poem).

Student01: (talking to Don) One more time Scumbag! (Don reads the second poem).

Student02: (talking to crowd) Well that’s not enough for me! What do y’all think!

Student01: (talking to Mary) Ma’am is there something else you wanna hear? (Mary will probably say yes, in any case continue).

Motion12: Student02 removes handcuffs.

Student01: (talking to Don) Well mister you got something you wanna say 28 years late?

Motion12: In the background the song "Believe in Me" by Dan Fogelberg begins to play softly.

Don: (looking down and dejected) Yes I do.

Student02: Well get on with it!

Don: Mary, I Love You!

Student01: (talking to Don) Louder so everyone can hear you!

Don: Mary, I Love You!!!!!

Student02: Anything else you wanna say Mr. Conley?

Don: (getting up on one knee and grabbing Mary’s hand) Just one more thing.

Motion13: In the background the song "Believe in Me" by Dan Fogelberg is turned up somewhat louder.

Student01: (talking to Don) Then do something right in your life for a change!

Don: (talking to Mary) Mary, in 1972 I didn't believe in myself, but I have always believed in you. Now I do believe in myself and I hope above all, that you believe me now when I say, that it would do me the greatest honor of my life if you would chose to marry me, please! (Don while using his left hand to hold Mary’s, presents the engagement ring with his right hand)

Motion14: In the background the song "Believe in Me" by Dan Fogelberg is turned up to the loudest predetermined setting.

Motion15: After Mary says "yes" (assuming she says "yes") a florist will approach her to give her three dozen roses in celebration of her acceptance (else I suppose he should give them to Don as a conciliatory gesture for her not accepting, Ouch!).
