The following is an exerpt from the musical Wagon Wheels West by Tim Kelly (MLA citation at the end to avoid copyright infringement.
"Straight Shooting Sam: Shall I head up a branding iron?
Dallas: Naw. (Orders.) Take off her shoes and tickle her feet.
Candy: No! No! Not that! Please. I beg you. I'm ticklish.
Dallas: Glad to hear it. (Straight-Shooting Sam kneels on one side of Candy
and Arizona Kid kneels on the other. Each bandit removes one of Candy's shoes.)
Candy: No, you mustn't! I won't be able to stand it.
Dallas: In that case , we'll find out what we need to know, won't we? (To Outlaws.) Get Busy!
Arizona Kid: (Pinching the toes on Candy's feet.) This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home. This little pigg --
Dallas: (Livid.) I said -- get busy!! (Arizona Kid and Straight-Shooting Sam begin to tickle the soles of Candy's feet. She really is ticklish and squirms and wiggles and giggles.)
Candy: Oh no! Stop! Please! Hee, hee, hee! Oh! Hee, hee, hee! I can't stand it! Oh no! Stop! Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee-- (Chuck appears at Whistling Skull Rock. He starts across the forestage, his eyes glued to the ground. Supposedly tracking the outlaws and their captive.) Mercy! Please! Mercy!
Dallas: Tell us where you hid the seniorita's autograph or we'll tickle you to death.
Arizona Kid: That's good, Dallas. We'll tickle her to death.
Outlaws: Ha, ha, ha.
Candy: Hee, hee, hee. Oh no. Hee, hee, hee. Stop. Hee, hee, hee. (By now Chuck is close enough to overhear the commotion in the cabin. He stops, cups one ear to the ground.)
Chuck: I'd know that voice anywhere. It's Candy!
Candy: Help me! Someone! Please! Help! Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee."
Then Chuck rescues her. Damn Chuck, anyway.
I am actually planning on directing this play in the near future. This was taken from the actual script.
