SOMEHOW DISABUSED
SOMEHOW DISABUSED
Artists on a Windy Day
3:55 PM

        The setting is the figurers' place. The painting is leaning on the drawers' side of the desk. The stamp is on the clock. A bi-figurer figuring the wind appears as we hear a breeze of wind. He or she does some actions on the pieces of paper left on the floor. Jeremy gets out of the kitchen. He has a bottle of beer in his hand, and he heads for the window.1 He closes it. He moves toward one of the tatami, and leaves his beer bottle near it. He then notices "the specialist" and moves toward it.

JEREMY
Can you believe what we did of you? (He takes the painting and places it so the painting now clearly faces the spectator.) We'll get you fixed somewhere... just let me think of - (Judith gets in, from the right) some nice - (to Juditht:) How's your ankle?

JUDITH, drawing little circles in the air with her foot
A little bit sore...

JEREMY
I've checked for a bandage - do you want me to get one at the pharmacy?

JUDITH
No. I'll be fine - I don't think it's going to swell up that much.

JEREMY, heading back to his bottle of beer
My fault - I should have warned you that I was about to funiculì funicilà the the place. (Judith squatted beside the specialist) - I've placed him there 'til we find a nice new place.

JUDITH
Boy, did he saw a lot of -... on this wall... (She mumbles something)...

                                  JEREMY
                                  What's that?

                                  JUDITH
                                  I'm opting out.

                                  JEREMY, he pauses
                                  Okay.

                                  JUDITH
                                  For a while - you know. (Brief silence.) Just to get out of the
                                  creative swamp I'm jammed in; maybe write something
                                  about rewriting...

                                  JEREMY
                                  When are you to leave.

                                  JUDITH
                                  I'll have Bellos noticed; I'm calling a taxi; I'm sorry for... all
                                  the mess...

                                  toward the next thematic?

                                  (1) The window should have been 'installed' by the actress
                                  playing Judith in the first part of the 12:00 PM scene.
