Boxing Doll Loves Ha First Painting Angel Yes. He loves every one. But he cannot keep any, because he is such a good toymaker that all his dolls are beautiful and so people buy them. As soon as he makes a doll, someone travel in love with it and buys it. He wants to keep his favorite dolls, but he cannot, because he is a toymaker and he has to sell whatever people want to buy.Boxing Doll What has that to do with us? First Painting Angel Im getting to it. Everytime the toymaker sells a doll we have to paint a little sad line into his face, because he loves each doll so much.

Second Painting Angel They are always in his mind, even when he should be sleeping the Igorot Dancing Girls and the Muslim Warriors. . . He never forgets them, no matter how far apart they are, even if they are on the opposites sides of the earth the American Indians and the lovely Chinese Maidens. . . He never forgets you, sweet little Japanese Doll, even though you have only one arm. . . and he never forgets you, Boxing Doll, even though you never win. . First Painting Angel But you. . . the defective ones. . . you are the ones he wants for himself. Of all the toys that the toymaker has made, he loves you the best. Second Painting Angel Thats why youre defective, soldier. Sighing deeply Across the shop, the soldiers and the maidens dance, just as they danced crosswise the mind of the toymaker. Together they dance Together they dance. They claim the American Indians came originally from China, over the Bering Sea, and when you see them dance together you think maybe this is true. . . The Japanese Dolls and the boxers, all mixed up, are in the mind of the toymaker.Putting her hand on the shoulder of the French Soldier. Suddenly, the clock strikes, all stop, frozen, listening. One two three- four five six Boxing Doll Six oclock Muslim Warrior Here comes the toymaker Toymaker Poor little Chinese Doll You timber rejected.

Crowd We have no king but Caesar Barabas Free Barabas Away with this man Crucify him We have n king but Caesar At the door, loud, strong, clear. The dolls hurry back to the position they were in when we first saw them, in the blue moonlight. The two angel steal softly away. The toymaker opens his door and comes in.He is a white haired, gentle old man, and we can see his face the lines that the painting angels have particolored t he sad lines and the smiling lines. He goes from doll to doll, looking at each one. He stops to look at the Chinese Doll. Music Chinese theme Gently Outside of the shop, somewhere beyond the street, we see a man standing with his hands bound, and two Roman Soldiers standing beside him. Harshly. The soldier turns and slaps the man across the face. We hear the slap, loud and clear. Slowly, the man disappears and we see the street again. The toymaker goes to the French Soldier. (Music The French mans theme)Then he goes to the Igorot Dancer. (Music Igorot theme) He also moves to the Muslim Warrior (Music Muslim theme) Gently Somewhere outside the shop, and beyond the street, we see a white balcony. A man is standing on the balcony, with his hands bound behind him. Pilate, the governor, is deform over the white rail. Pilate washes his hands. The crowd shouts A Lone Harsh Voice Barabas Toymaker My Boxing Doll. . . you are always falling down. . . you lost in public. . . you were shamed a nd humiliated. . . you fell, not dance, but many times. . . that is painful.

Slowly the balcony fades, and we see the street again. The toymaker goes to the Siamese Virgin and looks at her, his head to one side. (Music The Siamese Theme) Toymaker goes to the American Indian and looks at him with love. (Music Indian Theme) He goes to the Japanese Doll (Music Japanese theme) Finally, he goes the Boxing Doll. Outside the shop, and beyond the street, we see the man carrying his cross.He is flanked by two soldiers and two workmen, who have hammers and nails. . . The man falls. The crowd roars. The two soldiers tweet the man to his feet. They strip off his clothing. One of the soldiers carries the clothing away triumphantly. The other soldier forces the man down on the cross. The workmen nail him to it. We hear the sound of the hammers. Nailing is finished. . . The cross is elevated. The man hangs there while the soldiers roll cut for the robe, and the workmen sit at the foot of the cross. Suddenly wheeling toward the cross. Suddenly turning toward the cross. Turning toward the cross.The American Indian makes a painful, inarticulate sound which means Remember me. The girl dolls turn slowly to the cross and twist up their arms in supplication. On the cross Slowly, the cross fades and we see the street again. The dolls turn toward the door of the toymaker. He is standing there, with his arms outstretched. The dolls turn to their original position. Slowly the toymaker comes down the steps and goes to the Boxing Doll and the Japanese Doll. He stands between them, looking from one to the other. Then he puts his hand, gently, on the shoulder of the Boxing Doll. Music-up full to finish.
