| SCENE: A DARK PLACE SCARY MONSTER You're mine now! PERSON Um, what? SCARY MONSTER There's no escape PERSON From? SCARY MONSTER Me, you foolish person! I'm going to peel off your skull and eat your brains! PERSON Wow. SCARY MONSTER There's nowhere to run. PERSON So you said. Before the peeling and the eating, can I ask you something? SCARY MONSTER Ask me something? PERSON Yes. Why? SCARY MONSTER Why? PERSON Why would you want to peel and eat me? SCARY MONSTER (laughing) You question me? Your little life means nothing to me! PERSON See, now that just doesn't make sense to me. SCARY MONSTER Silence! PERSON No, really. If my life means nothing to you, what's the big deal if you peel me or not? SCARY MONSTER (laughing) You're going to die. PERSON What's so funny? SCARY MONSTER What? PERSON You keep laughing. What is it with you monsters. You're always laughing at something. Why? SCARY MONSTER You keep asking questions of me when I'm going to kill you. You should be screaming! Grrrr!!! PERSON "Grrr"? I wonder what makes that sound a fear inducing sound... SCARY MONSTER I should shut you up! PERSON And yet you still stand here, "grr"ing at me, discussing your unmotivated, homicidal desires. SCARY MONSTER What?! PERSON I really want to know what it is that makes you want to kill me. SCARY MONSTER I'm just...Going to kill you! PERSON Fine. I'm sure you have your reasons. SCARY MONSTER NO! There are no reasons! I'm a monster! We've met in a dark corner! Now I'm supposed to kill you! PERSON Says who? SCARY MONSTER Shut up! PERSON Okay. There's no need for shouting. SCARY MONSTER Yes! There is! Now cower before me! PERSON Instead of the peeling and eating? SCARY MONSTER No! You cower while I peel your skull and eat your brains! PERSON Well, this wasn't what we originally discussed. |
