DE-BENCHED

MAN

What am I supposed to do -- stand here and freeze to death?  I want on this bench and under them covers.

 

WOMAN

You can dig a hole, triple salchow into it, break your neck and die for all I care.  Just stay the fuck off my bench.

CLOSING TIME

EMILY

(Stern, demanding attention, passionate)

Billy!  Billy!  I want you to listen to me.  (Beat)  You listening?  (Beat)  I have a date in 40 minutes.  A date I want to have!  This is the first time I’ve been on a date in eight years.  Eight years Billy!  I really like him.  I’m crazy about him.  I need to close up here and get on home now.  I’m sorry but you have to leave.

LEAVING HANOI

BEN

What do you want?  You’re everywhere.  I don’t know what you want.

 

GRACE

I want my daughter back you jackass.  All of her!  I want to know why she’s not here.  This doesn’t add up.  None of this makes sense.
