SCENE 7
Night. Outside the house. A red light has replaced the original white bulb. MARC is pacing outside the house waving his arms emotively while talking to himself.
MARC: Shit....SHIT...Goddamn this...this...Shit! There's got to be a good reason for this...I mean...nothing is making sense any more...I just don't get it...I...I have to be hallucinating...
{He feels the side of the wall & then he punches it.}
MARC: AH! Oh God...Oww...Fuck me...{he flexes his hand}
{Enter SARAH from inside the house. She is wearing the black
electrical wire dress, and the headgear.}
SARAH: {In a breathy erotic voice, with vocal distortion, her left arm on the door.} Did you knock?
MARC: Oh my god.
{CHORUS member one leaves the house. He wraps his arms around her waist and gives her a deep throaty kiss then wipes his mouth with the back of his fist. He begins to exit stage left. MARC grabs his arm and turns him around.}
MARC: What the fuck you think you're doing?
CHORUS 1: Hey man. I paid my dues. She's all yours.
{MARC punches him in the face. SARAH watches stoically}
MARC: You piece of shit. Get out of my sight and leave my girlfriend alone!
{SARAH & CHORUS 1 laugh}
CHORUS 1: Your girlfriend's a great lay man. {pause} You'd better watch her. She's a wily one.
{Exit CHORUS 1 stage left}
MARC: What's going on?
SARAH: Honey, If you don't know you're in some sad shape.
MARC: {hurt} Why are you doing this to me?
SARAH: {comes down the step in a model like walk.} I'll do anything you want. {She puts her hands on his face, deep breath.} OOoooh....
MARC: {quickly pulls hand away.} I can't do this. You're not Sarah.
SARAH: I'll be Sarah...or Barb...or Eve...Whoever you want.
MARC: You whore.
SARAH: What'd you expect? Come on lover. Be with me.
MARC: No. I can't.
SARAH: Sure you can...It's easy...You put your hand here...
MARC: Stop.
SARAH: Come on...You know you want me...
MARC: I said STOP.
SARAH: Look pal, you knocked on my fucking door. Didn't you come looking for some action?
MARC: No. This isn't right!
SARAH: Look, don't you preach at me. This is a respectable job.
MARC: You're not a hooker! You're a nurse.
SARAH: {laughing} That's the line man.
MARC: Shut up. Just shut up. Sarah doesn't talk like that.
SARAH: Oh yeah? I've talked like this all my life. Listen: Whore.
MARC: Shut up
SARAH: Slut.
MARC: Stop it.
SARAH: Bitch.
MARC: STOP IT! {He grabs her arm}
SARAH: {laughing} You want a piece of me? You can have it all baby.
MARC: {Throws her to the ground} You psycho BITCH! YOU'RE NOT SARAH!
SARAH: Oh...I am...{rubbing her breasts}...I'm every inch of her...{laughs}
{MARC closes his eyes and turns away.}
MARC: It's not real....It's not real...
SARAH: {stands up, grabs MARC by the arm} Look at me. I'm the love of your life, right? Well, love me {angry} Love me {slutty} Love me {crying} Love me {elated} Love me {orgasmic} Love me Love me {stoic} Love me {skipping} Love me-ee Love me
{MARC backs toward the house. The facade splits and he trips in. SARAH skips up into the house.}
MARC: STOP IT! STOP IT! YOU'RE NOT REAL!
SARAH: Oh yeah? How real is this? {She smacks him across the face}
MARC: {stands up} Don't you hit me you bitch!
{He grabs her shoulders, and she is getting ecstatic}
MARC: DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING HIT ME!
SARAH: hit me marc.
MARC: {unhanding her} What?
SARAH: Hit me. Let me know you love me.
MARC: You're crazy.
SARAH: Hit me Goddammit!
MARC: No!
SARAH: {Laughing} Who do you think I am?
MARC: What did you do to her?
SARAH: I Didn't do anything to anyone.
MARC: You...and that GUY...You're doing this.
SARAH: No. We already did it. Now it's our turn. {She reaches for his pants.}
MARC: STOP THAT!!! {He backhands her and she reels backwards.}
SARAH: Ooooohh...Hit me again.
MARC: {grabbing her by the throat} You FUCKING WHORE! You're NOT MY WIFE!
{SARAH starts to whine.}
SARAH: marc...don't kill me.....
{He drops her to the floor.}
MARC: Oh God...What am I doing?... {he begins to cry.}
{SARAH gets up and calmly exits up stairs. Rear wall splits. Enter the MASTER.}
MARC: Sarah I...{he turns, pause} Who ARE you?! Why are you doing this to me? {pause} What do you want?
MASTER:Welcome.
{Scene darkens immediately. Sound of gate slamming shut. Sound of gate creaking open.}
