SHORT PLAY 010
Man
– (to woman on bus) Have you ever had one of those mornings,
where you woke up somewhere and you didn’t remember how you got there?
Woman
– Well, no I…
Man
– (interrupting) So you wander around for a while trying to
figure out where you are?
Woman
– …um
Man – And you finally go to a pay phone and to call your wife, and a stranger answers the phone and you ask to speak to Cindy, my wife’s name is Cindy you see, and they say, “She’s not there at the moment”. And you ask, “Do you know where she’s gone” and they say, “a funeral”. “Whose”, you ask, and the stranger replies, “her husband’s”. (Pause) Well?
Woman
– (turning pale) …w-well w-what?
Man – I mean, doesn’t that suck?!?
