Lights up on a highschool hallway. There are students scurrying from one side to the other side of the stage off and on stage. After a few moments two girls enter from offstage they are vigurously talking about something that can't be heard in the audience yet. As they approach one of the girls lockers their conversation can be heard.

Girl 1
I don't beleive you at all.

Girl 2
And why not!?

Girl 1
Uhmm let's see maybe because i catch you staring at him everyday in Lab Bio

Girl 2
It's more like glaring

Girl 1
Ok then. Name 7 things you don't like about him

[Pause]

Girl 2

[As she begins to list the things a rather good looking guy walks towards the locker next to her and she ends up staring at him while she lists the thing]

Let's see. How about how friggin vain he is!

[The guy looks into a mirror in his locker]

How he plays those stupid games with people, his insecurity with not being the prettiest person in the school [He looks again in the mirrow fixing his hair] There's that stupid girl he's dating

[A highschool girl walks over to him and they quickly kiss then she walks offstage.] Then there's how he makes me laugh at all his stupid jokes and when i can't talk to him anymore i want to cry [A little emotional at this point] and then whenever he sees me he always says jokingly.

Guy
[To girl 2] I love you

He then walks offstage. Lights fade

Lights up on a small room with a bed in the middle of it. There is a small nightstand next to the bed with a lamp on top of it with the light on. Lights on the stage are low just enough to illuminate the set. Splashing is then heard from offstage shortly there after a male and a females voice are heard. Then the noise gets louder as a young woman and young man enter from offstage. They are both in their late teens and as they move across the stage they are kissing and groping each other. They are both in just swimwear. They then make their way to the bed and she then pushes him down on the bed in a rather forceful manner.

Girl
Let's see what you've got sexy

Guy
Hey, Don't you think maybe we should take this slower?

Girl

Guy
[Pushing her to the side a bit] No i'm serious let's just take this slow.

Girl

The girl then grabs the guy by the face and begins to makeout with him. He guy then pulls away.

Guy

Girl
[Getting up] Fine, screw you!

Lights fade as she exits.

Violet Hill - Coldplay

Lights up on a porch patio where an old man is sitting. He is sipping hot chocolate and rocking in a rocking chair. Small flakes of snow begin to fall.

Man
Welcome back old friend. It's been quite a while hasn't it? Yes, yes it has. Like yesterday. I can see it like yesterday. Oh yes it was much fiercer than this. But then again most life was far fiercer then than now. Especially in a time of war. Oh yes the wind. How it slashed across our faces. The roaring sound then dulled by the treads of the tanks rolling by. The crashes and bangs of all the bombings. They still ring in my ears. The cold stare you showed me. Eyes wide open yet lifeless. The snow began to fall then. Slowly at first but then how it came. I remained there by you don't you remember. No probably not. The snow had blanketed your eyes by them. The cold had taken you.

The old man stands and walks into the snow.

But i know you're still there. In every flake that falls, I see you my old friend.

Lights up on a small park bench with room for two. On the bench sits a man in a trench coat. He has a fully rimmed hat on that is low enough to cover almost all of his face. His hands are clasped together in his lap as if he were deep in thought. The lighting on the stage is dim and there is an ominous feeling to the stage. A small gust of fog then rolls forth causing the man to perk his head slightly in on different though his face is still not visible. Then after a moment he returns his head to its original position. A short while later a middle aged man enters from offstage. He appears by all norms completely normal. As he walks by the man on the bench a red light appears over him and the man on the bench instantly picks his face up and looks coldly at the man who has now frozen. The mans face is cold pale and empty his eyes are red and staring directly as if into the other mans soul. He then stands and moves behind the middle aged man who is nervous and frightened. The man then places his hand on the back of the middle aged mans neck and lifts him off the ground.

Middle aged man
What!? What are you doing?!

Man
You what you were on your way to do.

He then throws him to the ground dead. All lights fade but the red one which slowly fades on its own

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We cant take back
Now every fool in town wouldve left by now
I cant replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face - cant help thinkin
Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together

A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Heres what

It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Tell me one more time
How youre sorry about the way
This all went down - you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Call you if I ever couldnt keep it all together youd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Heres what Im thinking
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Its over now - and Ive gone without
Cuz youre everybody elses girl
It seems to me - youll always be
Everyone elses girl
Everyone elses girl
This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all the words we said
We cant take back
It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - wont take you back
If you were the last...It wont be the first - heart that you break
It wont be the last - beautiful girl

If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

You are the last beautiful girl in the world

Lights up on the entire stage. In the center of the stage is a park bench where two men sit. They are silently chatting amongst themselves. After a few moments series of women begin to walk onstage. All of these women are what would be considered by societies standards as ugly or unattractive. These women begin to walk by the bench at which the men are sitting at. These men then become more interested in the women around then but each one they see they make repulsing faces at. Then an obscenely tall and rugged looking woman walks by the two men who as the woman passes burst out laughing.

Man 1

[Still laughing] Oh my god! did you just see her!

Man 2

[Also laughing] She was friggin huge!

Man 1

Oh check this one out.

Man 1 points to an approaching woman who has a gigantic mole on her chin obvious to all

Man 2

[As woman passes] hey moley moley moley!

The two men the burst out laughing. The woman then turns around and walks over to the bench where the two men both gulp and look scared. The woman the touches the back of the bench and walks away.

Man 1

Man 2

The bench then disappears offstage along with the men. The woman all then remove their faces and behind them are stunning beautiful women. Lights fade

Before lights up there is a terrifying scream from offstage propelled by men, women, and children alike. Then from offstage as the scream hits its peak there is a bright light that flickers like that of a large flame off in the distance. Lights then come up on the stage though not fully so as to signify the late hour. Near the edge of the stage that has the fire burning offstage. One side of the wall should be lightly illuminated by the offstage light. Then on the other side a young boy comes running towards the wall crying.

Boy
No! Mommy!!! Daddy!!! No!!!

A young man then enters from off stage and grabs the boy and carrys him over his shoulder

Young man
We must go before they catch us too.

I Miss You - Blink 182




(I miss you, I miss you)

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head

(I miss you, I miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head

(I miss you, I miss you)

Lights up on a single tombstone. It is blank and unmarked. A young man then enters from offstage dressed in black. He has roses in his hand and walks up to the tombstone and stares down at it. He is motionless at first. he then falls to his kness and his head then rests upon the stone.



Young Man
This isn't right. This isn't right! You should still be here... Right next to me...Our hands...they should be together...It shouldn't be like this. I miss you...You remember our senior prom? or how about that night we sat on the hood of my car wishing upon shooting stars? or the first night we shared together just holding each other in our arms...How can that all be gone...how can you be gone?

Then from offstage a young woman enters. She is wearing a prom dress and her hair is done very beautifully. She shines. The young man stands and walks over to her and they begin to dance to a silent tune. They dance very closely as if this dance had a special meaning to it. A light then comes up on another part of the stage where the hood part of a car can been seen and the two then walk over to is hand in hand and take a seat upon the hood and lay there silent pointing out the stars in the sky. Finally a light appears on another part of the stage where a bed is. The two then walk over to the bed and lay down in it under the covers. They lay there for a few minutes just holding each other when music begins to play. The man falls asleep and the girl then exits offstage. Lights fade from all of the stage. Then one light comes back up with the young man still kneeling against the stone. He gently places the flowers upon the grave. Lights fade

You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

Lights up on a dim stage. Lights are up but only enough to make visible a young man sitting against the back wall of the stage. He is sitting with his laptop in his lap. He is staring intently at it but is typing nothing. Just staring. Then after a few more moments he looks up and smiles. Then in a seperate part of the stage lights come up, this time fully, on a person looking very similar to the young man only a bit younger. In his hand is a cell phone and he is pacing back and forth between one extreme of the stage and the middle. On the other side of a stage and girl is doing the same thing. Their reactions should be similar to eachothers as they are talking to each other. At the highest peak of positive emotion lights fade away from these two leaving just the dim light on the young man with the laptop who through this all has been typing vigurously finally stops typing. Lights then a little bit later come up on the same two sitting together at a small bench on another part of the stage. They are ingaged in a deep conversation and the man in the back begins typing heatedly again. This scene then ends with the lights fading on them. The man in the back finished typing as this scene too ends. Lights then come up again on a different part of the stage and the younger man is standing alone talking on his cell phone. The girl then walks by throws him a nasty look and while walking past makes sure to hit him with her shoulder. Lights fade as does the typing once more. Lights then come to a different part of the stage and the girl is sitting alone at a table when the younger man approaches. He sits down and tries to reason with the girl but she throws some of her food at him and walks off lights and typing fade. Lights return for one final time to a once more seperate part of the stage where the boy is sitting alone reading a book. The girl then enters from offstage and slowly makes her way to the boy. At first there is extreme hesitance on both sides but the boy then places the book down and they begin to reconcile. Lights fade from the two. All that remains is the young man who is typing still. Then from offstage an older version of the girl enters and walks across the stage and looks at the young man and they both catch each others eyes and smile and she waves to him and he stops typing to wave back. She exits offstage. He continues to look at where she exited. Lights fade totally.

And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit

To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown'
Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads

When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shotYeah!
Yeah, back in this...Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up'
Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Uggh!
What was the price on his head?

He may be a real contender for this position should he

Lights up on a common froom where there are many random people just strolling about minding their own business. After a few minutes of poeple walking around (interaction can take place if it is wished) their is a noise heard over an unseen intercom.

Voice
Good afternoon good people of Singleton. It is now time for the streets to be cleared and everyone to report to their daily group mind sessions. Streets should remain clear until tomorrow morning when you are called into your early sessions. Have a wonderful night everyone.

The voice then ends with an intercom click. The people then compliently without care begin to dispurse into the corners of the stage and then exits offstage. The entire stage is then clear but lights remain up until a few moments later a young boy about 9 or 10 rushes hurridly onstage. He looks around frantically with a peice of paper in his hand. From the other side of the stage two armed men in full body armour appear they are talking amongst themselves when one looks up and see the boy.

Armed man 1
[Raising his firearm at him] You there. Stop. Why havn't you reported to your night session?

The boy is terrified and tries to explain

Boy
The group I was in was too large so they sent me to this one [Holding out the paper] But I can't seem to find it.

Armed Man 2
[Taking the note] I can't read this. [To the other man] Looks like we have a stray here.

Boy
No no I swear I'm just lost.

Armed Man 1
Yeah right.

The two men begin to approach the boy to apprehend him but the boy panics and begins to run offstage. The two men then raise their firearms and fire at the boy. The boy drops within a step of offstage. The two men then nonchalantly walk over the boy and drag his body offstage at the other side of the stage dragging his body the entire length the stage. Everywhere the boy hsa been dragged there is blood. Making a line across the stage. Lights fade. Lights come back up after a few moment of emptiness. The exact same scene as at the beginning is repeated only the blood remains on the floor. The intercom then sounds and the people all exit offstage in the same manner as before. The stage is then empty for a few moments. A middle aged man then enters from offstage and walks to the line of blood then falls to his knees sobbing. After a few moments he stands and steps over the red line looking forward he yells.

Man
Brothers! Come forth. Brothers hear my plea. Wake up! Let us no longer be silent to this machine of chaos and power. We shall no longer be silent as our blood is spilled in the dark of night!

A large group of people then enter from offstage with bats and a large variety of melee weapons forming a rather formitable mob.

My friends my family. Look here at this blood [Pointing to the ground at the line of blood] This is the blood of an innocent spilled the last night. We can no longer let this happen! Tonight we shall end this tyranny! Together come with me. Cross this line of blood and we shall march forth. Our rage shall be felt! Let us rage! Rage against the machine! This power of evil! Come with me brothers.

The crowd lets out a roar and they then all (but one) cross the blood red line. The lead man then notices the one who hasn't crossed and steps forward towards him.

Brother why have you not crossed the line?

The man then pulls out a handgun and shoots the man. As the man falls the man with the gun steps closer and empties the clip into him.

Man with gun.
There is your revolution. Now I will give you one chance to drop your arms and return to your sessions lest you wish the night watch to take you in.

The group at first slowly drops there arms then the rest follow quickly.

Good. Now disperse!

The group follows the mans orders and all quietly defeated exit offstage. The man follows shortly there after. All lights fade but one that is on the dead man. Lights fade

Lights up on half of the stage in an art studio. There is only one person in the center stage can be either male or female. With this person center stage is a blank face of clay. All of the rest of the head is clearly defined but the expression on the face is non existant. The person then begins to slowly craft the expression on this persons face.

Person
Don't worry it won't be long before we see you smiling again.

As the person begins to craft the face lights come up on the other side of that stage. On this side of the stage there is a teenage girls bedroom in the girls room a girl is sitting in her bed crying trying to pray. She is clinging her pillow tightly looking a picture on her nightstand. She starts at the near worst of her sadness but as the clay face progresses so does the girls mood. Then the person, whose crafting the face, hand slips and places a small but deep cut in the face. On the other side of the stage the girl as she was beginning to cheer up hears her phone next to her ring and she picks it up and after a moment she erupts back into her crying worse than ever. Then she walks offstage balling her eyes out and after a few moments returns onstage with a knife in hand. She walks over to her bed crying and begins to contemplate what to do. On the other side of the stage the person crafting the face frantically is working to fix the error he made in the face as the girl holds the knife to her wrist the person finally finishes the last of the face and now it is smiling and glowing. On the other side of the stage the girl removes the blade from her wrist and takes the picture on her night stand of a boy and drives the knife through it and then throws it to the ground. She then quietly sits on her bed looking at the picture. Finally as the lights begin to fade a small smile crawls across the girls face.

Person
Told you I'd help you smile

I'm sorry I keep coming back to you. It's just...I'm not sure what else to do or who else to turn to. It happened again. He did it again. After he promised it wouldn't happen anymore.

yes I am. You told me before this would happen and I, as you can tell, didn't listen.

Lights up on two separate scenes. One scene is a boys bedroom and the other a girls bedroom. Both are of the same approximate age. There is a boy in the boys room and a girl in the girls. They are both on the phone. Towards the end of the conversation they both begin to smile a lot and then they both hang up at the same time. The boy jumps for joy and is unable to hide his joy. The girl grabs her pillow and she screams into it and then jumps out of her bed and runs to her closet/dresser and begins pulling clothes out and mixing and matching what she will wear. The boy finally calms down and standing on top of his bed he stops and looks around and freaks out and realizes he has to find something to wear. He jumps off his bed and looks for clothes to wear. Lights fade. When the lights return both of the previous sets are gone and all that is there is a door step with a door at the top. The boy then enters from offstage dressed nicely with flowers in hand. He walks up to the door and knocks after a moment the girl arrives at the door in a pretty summer dress and smiles at the boy when she sees him.

With the world and those who lead it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information,
oh They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Bed of Lies - Matchbox Twenty

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont think that I can take another empty moment
Dont think that I can fake another hollow smile
Its not enough just to be sorry
Dont think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And theyre only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that weve tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Dont wanna be somewhere where I just dont belong
Where its not enough just be sorry
Dont you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And weve only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters weve made
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learningI am
I am all that Ill ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but dont go weak on me now
I know that its weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
Im marking it down to learning
cause I am

Lights up on a small bedroom with a double size bed in the middle. The lights need to remain dimmed with just enough light as to be able to make out the outline of a man and woman having sex on the bed. While they are in the middle of this action a man enters from offstage. He walks towards the bed but hears a noise and then stops. He looks at the bed and notices the movement under the sheets. He then hears a womans voice from the bed. He stands there for a little while longer in shock. He then slowly turns and exits. Lights fade. Lights up on the same setting only this time the man who walked in is in the bed with the woman from before. He is lying on his back in the bed with his head propped up looking about. She has he head on his chest and arm around him.

Man
Can I ask you something and you be totally honest with me?

Woman
Of course you can.

Man
Ok please don't take this the wrong way but, have you ever cheated on me and if so would you have told me?

Woman
Of course i'd tell you and no I havn't [All looking at him curiously]

Man
[Without looking at her] Alright.

Woman
Come on let's get some sleep.

The lights go off and they lay down to go to bed then the man can be seen getting out of bed and turning a small light on.

Woman
Where you going?

Man
Oh just need to get something to drink.

Woman
Alright i'll be here waiting when you get back

The woman then returns to sleeping and the man then stares at her for a little while then exits offstage and all lights go out.

Play-A-Day (Day ??)

While the stage is dark a voice is head from center stage where a single spotlight appears.

Man
Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Dancing Through the ages! I'll be your host tonight as we delve into the history of dance and it's evolution. Now for our first stage of dance we have the whoha!

Lights go up on a seperate part of the stage where prehistoric men and woman are chanting going in a circle around a fire. They chant Who, who ha ha, who who.

What a marvelous show they put on. Thankyou thankyou

Lights fade from the circle

How was that. Some good old ancient moves for you there. Now what do we have coming next.

Lights up on a large group of people in Toga's. They are all drinking and have been drinking heavily as there are cups scattered around the group. They all walk randomly and bump into each other. After a while one falls with a knife in his back and someone screams. Lights fade

Wow! enough of that i guess. See folks it's not just today we get carried away with dancing. Up next is from the times of kings and emporers.

Lights up on a grotesquely over dressed woman with hair as big as she is and a dress that is made of dozens of colors with the most delicate care. With her is also an equally grotesque man who is as round as he is tall and at his side is a gargantuan sword which he can't even lift. His crown is enormous. The man and woman both hold mascerade masks to their face and merely take side steps in front of each other and at times also switch sides. Lights fade

The art of kings ladies and gentlemen! Not very delightful if I do say so myself. Finally we have only two times left to view dancing from. Next is from the good ol U S of A.

Lights up on a group of men with banjos. They are all sitting on barrels playing their Banjos with one man in the middle clicking his feet on the group and bobbing up and down. After a minute one yells "Yeeha!!" Lights fade

Well there's good ol america for you. Now finally the pinacle of dance evolution. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the "Shake"

Lights up on a teenage boy who is standing alone on stage and to all he appears an average kid. Then he bursts out in yelling "Shake shake oh yeah shake it!" and repeats it over and over and over again. He at the same time randomly moves his body about without any organized manor. Lights fade

Well ladies and gentlemen there you have the greatest dances of the ages. I thankyou for you're time and wish you all a wonderful night and safe drive home. Remember to "shake it"

Somehow I've lost my mind

Before It's Too Late - Goo Goo Dolls

I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
And hold on before it's too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you dont live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone
Hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
So live like you mean it
Love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone
And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind

Lights up on a hospital room. In the bed is a little girl. She has tubes coming out of her nose and there is an IV drip next to her going into her arm. She has bandages over most of her body that can be seen. There are a great number of moniters all on one side of the bed monitering heart rate, respiration, and all the works. At the other side of the bed is a chair and sitting in it is a small boy who has his head against the bed and his hands have the little girls in his. He is weeping. After a few moments she begins to stir.

Girl
[With great difficulty] He...Hello [Unable to look around] Who [Coughing] Who's there?

Boy
It's me.

Waiting for a response only not to reviece one

My mom told me about what happened. I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Still no response

I'm sorry I got mad at you the other day. I know you were just trying to help.

Still nothing

Will you please say something?

Nothing

Emily? [Shaking her slightly] EMILY!?

The heart moniter go offs signallying her stopped heartrate. Nurses and docters rush in forcing the boy out of the way. The lights on the stage then go dim. The boy steps forward and adresses the audience.

This is all my fault. If i hadn't gotten mad at her for not playing with me at recess none of this would have ever happened. She wouldn't have been in such a rush to get home. She wouldn't have crossed the street without looking. She wouldn't be here now. She would be fine.

Lights come back up with the docters/nurses once more forcing the boy from the stage as they attempt to save the girl. Lights fade

We Looked Like Giants - Death Cab For Cutie

We Looked Like Giants - Death Cab For Cutie

God bless the daylight,
the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine
In a still suburban town
When every thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked.
God damn the black night with all it's foul temptation
I become what I always hated
When I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get
Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...And together there
In a shroud of frost and mountain air
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer...

Lights up on a small apartment. In the middle of the stage is a small dining room table with a man and woman sitting at it. They are slowly eating their meal. Off to the side of the stage is some packed luggage. On top if it is a winter coat. Their is an uneasiness to the man while he eats and he keeps glancing at the woman. Who catches him from time to time.

Woman
[Catching him] Ok would you just tell me what the problem is?

Man
[Caught off-guard] Oh nothing really.

Woman
You're lying. I can always tell you're lying when you add some stupid word like really onto the end of you're sentence. Now tell me? Please.

Man
Look let's just finish this meal. Don't want anything that could possibly ruin this meal.

Woman
Do you promise you'll tell me?

Man
Yes.

Lights fade. Lights come back up at the man has his coat on and is getting ready to leave. The woman walks over to him.

Woman
Will you tell me now?

Man
[Taking a second] Ok. Jullie is pregnant.

Woman
[Awkwardly] Well uhmm congradulations.

Man
No, that's not it. That's the reason I have to tell you this.

Woman
[sensing what it is] Oh god...

Man
I can't keep doing this. You know I love you. But it wouldn't be right.

Woman
No. No I understand.

Man
I'm so sorry. I never meant for it to be this way.

Woman
Please just get out. [Beginning to cry]

Man
[Trying to approach her] Is there...

Woman
Just go!

Man
I'm sorry

Woman
Whatever

The man then picks up his luggage and exits offstage. The woman watches as the man walks away. Once he is a good distance away the woman lifts her shirt a little and feels her stomach and begins to cry. Lights fade

Lights up on a grooms dressing room where he is preparing to walk down the aisle. He is nervous and staring into the mirror. He compulsively fixes his Tuxedo and hair looking for any minor defect. He also from time to time takes large gulps of the bottled water in his room. On the floor near him are several bottles already emptied. He then hears a knock on the door offstage and a voice alerts him of the beginning coming.

Groom
[Staring at the mirror] I do...I do...I do, I do, I do, I DO! Oh dear lord what is wrong with me. You were so sure of this when you asked her. Now look at you. A pathetic nervous wreck. [Trying again] I do. Catherine I do. I do Catherine. You idiot! Stop being a moron and just do it right! Look remember why you're doing this. You love her. You love every moment you're with her. Look at your vows. [He pulls a piece of paper out of his pants] Catherine, Today is the happiest day of my life. Today is the day I will begin to spend the rest of my life with you. Thinking right now about when we first met i'm still amazed you ever wanted anything to do with me. Me being the hot headed jock and you the thoughtful and beautiful drama girl. But how you cooled me off. How you opened my eyes to the world around me. How I owe so much of everything I am to you. I remember one night we spent just sitting on the rocks of the coast watching the waves crash upon the shore. You asked me how I knew i loved you. Well if you remember my answer was the silly little way my heart felt holding you in my arms and that their was another part i'd tell you later when the time was right. Well this is that right time. Catherine I love you because I'm transparent to you. Because you know me. You took the time to know me, to see who I was. Because you have weathered the storm and sailed under the clear sky with me. Because you have given me a peice of you to me and me to you. Because "how could I shine without you". You're the brightest thing I have ever seen my dear. The most radiant star upon the night sky and because [Slowly and playfully] of that funny little way you make my heart feel. Catherine I love you with everything I am and always will. [Having finished reading he returns the paper to his pocket, he has a smile upon his face and is looking into the mirror] This is what is right for me. She is right for me, we are right for eachother. It's 'cause I love her.

He slowly stands and corrects of his attire and begins to take one more gulp but stops and places the bottle back and screws on the cap. He confidently walks offstage. Wedding music is cued. lights fade

There is at least one seat between her and the next closest person. Sitting at one of the booth seats nearly even with this girl. He is dressed casually and reading a book. At first everyone is paying attention to themselves or their quiet conversations. After a little bit the man in the booth begins to look around trying to get the attention of a waitor but fails. He then approaches the counter next to wear the previously mentioned girl sits. He takes as seat as he waits to be waited on. After a moment he glances side to side and when he looks towards the girl he keeps his eyes on her for a while. The bartender comes over and tries to get the mans attention but he remains glued to the girl.

The man walks back over to his seat looking over his shoulder on the way watching the girl. When he gets to his seat he picks his book back up but keeps glancing back at the girl every once in a while. The girl then motions to the bartender to come over to her and she then leans in an whispers something to the bartender who responds to her and point the girls finger in the right direction to the man. the girl thanks her and gathers her stuff and walks over to where the man is and places her hands upon the table as she finds her seat.

Man
[Looking up] Hello again

Woman
Hello

There is a slightly awkward silence

Man
It's a wonderful night out tonight isn't it

Woman
I hadn't noticed

Man
Oh...So what are you doing here tonight?

Woman
I like to come here and listen to people

Man
That sounds like a good time.

Woman
I know this may sound weird but i was wondering if I could look at you?

Man
[Looking around unsure] Uhmm ok...

Woman
[Smiling] Will you lean forward?

He nods his head and leans forward only the girl makes no motion

Man
Ok?

Woman
Oh.

The girl takes her hands and places them upon his face and at first he is freaked out but after a moment he looks into her sunglasses and understands. She continues to study his face until she is satisfied. The man then himself really begins to truly study her and he then takes her hands in his and they both feel each others hands.

Man/Woman
Your beautiful.

Play-A-Day (Day 21)

Lights up on a upscale restruant where in the middle of the stage is a table for two set. In the middle of the table is a small vase with rose in it. A young couple walks in both dressed up very nicely and formally. She is also wearing a fur coat. They approach the table and he pulls out a chair for her to sit and she moves next to it and continues to the other side and begins to remove her coat when the man moves over to help her with it. She keeps it on. They both have a seat.

Man
You look lovely if I may so say.

Woman
What in this? It's just something I threw on last minute.

Man
Well you make it appear ravishing.

Woman
[Bored looking around and signalling a waitor] Waitor! come here please i'd like to order.

Teenagers - My Chemical Romance

Teenagers - My Chemical Romance

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies on the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on your son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
Cause they got methods
Of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
Whoa yeah!
They said now teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
All together now,
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose

Play-A-Day (Day 21)

Lights up on a large changing room of a Punk/Metal band member. There are guitars hung around the wall. There is a large dresser and on top of it is a mirror with pictures of famous "rockers" taped to it. (Most of the objects on stage can be placed wherever it is best suited) There is a large tub on the stage with a black liquid in it. On top of the dresser is a hair drier. Hanging near the dresser is a large clothes rack with a variety of assorted clothes. Enter a plain ordinary looking man. He is wearing black dress pants with and white dress shirt and blue and white tie. In his hand he is holding a dinner jacket and in the other he is holding his keys and a briefcase. His hair is neatly slicked back into an acceptable formal manner. He casually walks into the room and places his brief case upon the dresser. He loosens his tie while having a seat at the dresser. He stares at himself for a while before finally smacking himself in the cheeks a couple of times. He then stands and finishes pulling his tie off and throws in on top of the briefcase. He then walks over to the clothing rack and begins to look through it. After searching for a few moments he finds what he is looking for. A white Che Guevara T-shirt with the picture of Che in red that is nearly skin tight. A black leather jacket with a skull covering most of the back of the jacket. Lastly a pair of black also nearly skin tight pants. He carries the clothes over to his dresser and sets them down next to his briefcase. Next he walks over to the tub of black liquid and unbuttons and removes his white button up shirt and carefully folds it and places it down beside the tub. He then grabs a towel that is next to the tub and places it around his shoulders and the quickly dunks his head under the water. After a moment under he pulls his head back up and quickly wraps the towel around it. Once he is sure no black liquid is dripping he picks up his shirt and carries it over to the dresser. Next he reaches into one of the compartments of the dresser and pulls out hair gel. While waiting for it to further dry he begins to remove his pants. Once he has them off he carefully folds them and places them on top of his shirt. He is wearing yellow smiley face boxers. He then begins to put the skin tight pants on but keeps having the boxers bunch up on him so he instead takes them off reluctantly and grumbles while placing the skin tight pants on. Then he removes the towel and his hair is now Jet Black. He puts on his Che shirt followed by the leather jacket. Then he takes a seat at the dresser and begins to gel large spikes from his hair. Once he has finished he puts the hair dryer on low and lightly blow drys the hair so it hardens. Once he has finished he pulls out a pair of shoes from under the dresser, converse, and puts them on. Next he stands and stares at himself in the mirror. He then sticks his tongue out as far as it will go and once he is satisfied he goes to look at the guitars on the wall and chooses an Ibanez Star. He then returns to the mirror and with the guitar poses. Once he is satisfied with himself he turns towards offstage where a huge uproar of cheering has begun and a voice can be heard announcing. He slowly walks offstage. Lights fade

Drops of Jupiter - Train

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair,
hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change,
hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June,
hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation,
hey, hey, heymmmm.....
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow,
hey, hey, hey, heyyea...
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . .and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself

Play-A-Day (Day 19)

Lights up on a small apartment. In one room there is a bed and next to it a small night stand. Along the outside edge of the room there are two dressers. In the bed one man is sleeping. The alarm clock shows 4:46 am. In another room is a small dining table with two chairs at it. In the last room is a kitchen where there is a refrigrater and small island in the middle. On the back of the stage there is a small counter where a there is also a sink and small cabinet. The man in the bed is sound asleep and does not notice when a young woman enters center stage and has with her a hand bag and some luggage. She sets the luggage down beside the dining room table and sets her coat on a coat rack. She walks to the cabinet and takes out a glass and procedes to fill it with water and drinks it. She then places the glass inside the sink and walks into the bedroom where the young man still is sound asleep. She goes over to the side of the bed and leans down to kiss the young man on the lips. Upon doing so he stirs and slowly awakens.

Man
[Still not fully awake] Huh? Who's there?

Woman
It's be baby. I'm home.

Man
Jamie?

Woman
That's me [Sitting down next to him on the bed]

Man
What time is it? [Looking around]

Woman
Early. Sorry if you didn't want to be woken

Man
No that's fine.

Woman
Oh I have so much to tell you about.

Man
Well I'm awake now. [Sitting up more]

Woman
No you can get back to sleep i'll tell you in the morning

Man
Hey you've been gone for a month. I'll give up a couple of hours of sleep to be with you for a little bit.

Woman
[Standing up] No really it's fine

Man
[Taking her hand before she gets to far away] Hey. Jamie come on spill.

Woman
You sure?

Man
Do you think i'd be nearly begging to know if I didn't

Woman
Well I don't even know where to begin

Man
Well how about with whether or not you found what you were looking for.

Woman
[Looking at him deep in the eyes] Yeah. Now that I think about it. Yeah I think I did

Man
Now? So what did you do the rest of the time?

Woman
I explored.

Man
With the intent to find?

Woman
Anything or everything.

Man
Well I'm glad you had a month to go exploring while I was here alone worried about if you were ok every single day

Woman
Hey, I'm sorry but this was something I had to do.

Man
[Slightly irritated] Well maybe when I have to go shopping for a suite I''ll spend a month looking for everything and anything.

Woman
[Defensive] Hey you don't need to be pissy with me. You know this wasn't just some waste of time. Things inside of me had been falling apart.

Man
Well from the looks of it things are pretty well together now [slight pause] without you really discovering anything.

Woman
Sometimes time is the best healer...other times it's distance

Man
Oh really now. And what exactly do you mean by that?

Pause

Woman
I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that.

Man
Well you did and it obviously meant something

Woman
It meant that I'm tired and not thinking straight.

Man
Well here you go [Getting up out of the bed] I'll go sleep in the kitchen.

Woman
Fine!

The young man gathers some stuff to sleep on and carries it into the kitchen. He makes his makeshift bed and lies down in it and tries to fall asleep. The young woman stands the the side of the bed still. She then gets ready to sleep and lies down in the bed but can't sleep. She remains there for a moment until she calls across the stage to the young man.

Woman
I didn't mean to you [waits for a response only not to recieve one] It's just I didn't realize it until just a bit ago because [Searching for what to say] Because I hadn't seen you in so long i'd forgotten how you kept me together so well.

There is silence on stage

Woman
Will you please come to bed? I don't want to spend another night alone.

The young man at first doesnt move but then gathers his stuff and moves back into the bedroom. He tosses the stuff he had been carrying onto her

Woman
Hey!

Man
Now we're even

He lays down beside her and kisses her. Lights fade

Play-A-Day (Day 18)

Lights up on a railroad station. There are crowds of people sitting around on the benches scattered throughout the stage. Everyone is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the train. That can be seen by nervous walking and pacing along with the slightest noise causing some of the characters to jump and be startled. The people sitting or pacing can be talking with each other from time to time of their anticipation of the arrival of loved ones, friends, business members. The major characters sitting/pacing are Jeffery a middle aged man greatly anticipating the return of his wife of 25 years from a business trip that took her to China for a month. Rush is a heroin hooked 20-something year old painfully awaiting the return of his dealer so he can get his latest fix to last him. He is very antsy and nervous about everyone around him. He has obviously not had any drugs in a while. Mary is a young girl sitting with her father Jason and they are both awaiting the return of Andre. Andre and Jason are married together and are both homosexual and have received a great number of forms of harassment throughout the years for their open relationship and love for each other. They have raised Mary to be a sweet and affectionate girl who is accepting of all peoples. Mary however ever since she began school has seen male and female relationships and has become slightly disgusted at her two fathers and saddened at her lack of a mother. Mike is a 20 something year old college student awaiting the return of his girlfriend of four years. His girlfriend has been in NYC for the past 6 months trying to get a degree in acting. Mike from time to time reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small square box and opens it up and upon seeing it’s still there quickly closes the box and returns it to his pocket. Each of these charactors will stand up and introduce themselves to the audience and briefly explain who they are and who they are waiting for. After all have introduced themselves all characters stand together and say “One of us will be left alone”. The characters then go back to their verbal or non verbal activities. After a few minutes a voice over the intercom announces the 8 o’clock from NYC has arrived and passengers have begun to depart. All of the characters begin to show their overwhelming anticipation at being reunited with the person they are looking forward to seeing. One by one members of the train walk on stage and go to their proper party. First Jeffrey’s wife comes onstage. She has not gone one night since leaving without sex. She is to appear alien to Jeffrey who is regardless overwhelmed at her return. They exit offstage. Next up is Rush’s drug dealer who is carrying a large plastic bag. Rush quickly goes to him and snatches the bag which the dealer quickly snatches back and shoves Rush to the ground. He then exits offstage but not before looking around shadily. Rush hurries after him. Andre is the next to return. Only upon his entering a young blonde woman is holding his hand. Mary rushes over to him and hugs him. Jason simply stands and has a puzzled and lost look upon his face. Mary begins to cling to Andre and the woman. Jason is shocked and hurt and lost. He walks offstage. Andre quickly follows after him. The young woman and Mary take hands and walk after them in no rush. Mary appears overwhelmingly happy with an older female. Mike’s girlfriend then enters the stage. Mike runs over to her and they embrace. Mike them quickly drops to a kneel and proposes to her. She looks about unsure. She eventually closes the box and slowly backs up offstage. Mike is left where he was with the closed ring box in his hand. He is frozen and the ring box falls from his hand and he makes no motion to save it. The ring falls out and bounces across the floor.

nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball back to class,
through the hall teacher marks our height against the wall
and we don't notice any time pass

we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that i sound funny but she likes the way you sing
tonight i'll dream while i'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphabet
and when i wake tomorrow
i'll bet that you and i will walk together again
cause i can tell that we are going to be friends

Play-A-Day (Day 17)

Lights up on small boys room where there are toys scattered all around. Toy story posters are plastered all over the wall of the room and in the middle there is a boy who is sleeping in bed. The alarm clock on top of his night stand is at 6:59 and a few moments later it flashes 7:00 and an alarm begin to beep. The boy awakes and quickly shuts the alarm off and stands but upon looking at his bookbag he cowardly returns to his bed under the covers where he remains. Lights fade. Lights come back up on the clock showing 7:30. the alarm once again begins to sound. This time the boy's mother comes upstairs and whips the covers off of him and shuts the alarm off.

Mother
Billy, get up or you're going to be late!

Billy
Mom can't i just stay home today?

Mother
Why do you want to stay home Billy?

Billy
[Not sure of what to say] I just don't really think today's going to be a good day.

Mother
Well i can tell you that if you stay home it won't be a good day because you'll be cleaning your room all day. Now get outa bed and get to school. You're going to have to walk today. Now get to it

Mother exits and leaves the boy to begin getting ready. Lights fade. Lights come up on the street where the mother has walked Billy to.

Billy
Mom please, can i stay home?

Mother
Billy I already told you. Now get to school. Look [Pointing over to the other side of the stage] One of your little friends. You two can walk to school together.

Billy
But mom I don't even know her

Mother exits offstage before Billy even finishes. Billy stands awkwardly alone at the edge of the road for a while as the person that his mother had pointed to walks onstage. Her name is Jamie and she is the same age as Billy and has a shy look about her. She doesn't notice Billy at first until she get's closer and stops in hesitance. Billy looks towards her then nervously begins to walk offstage.

Jamie
[Stepping forward] Hi.

Billy stops moving away.

Billy
[Turning about to her] Hi.

Jamie
My names Jamie [Moving towards Billy with her hand extended]

Billy
[Moving towards her cautiously] My names Billy

Jamie
Nice to meet you Billy [Smiling at him]

Billy
You too. So are you new here?

Jamie
Yes my family just moved in this past weekend

Billy
Oh that's cool

Jamie
Yeah, I guess. I didn't really want to go to school today. But now that i've met someone I'm glad I did.

Billy
[Flashing a slight smile] Yeah I didn't really want to go to school either. But here I am. My mom made me.

Jamie
Oh well why didn't you want to come to school?

Billy
[Shyly] Because I don't really have any friends.

Jamie
Oh I'm sure that you have some friends

Billy
No I really don't.

Jamie
Well I'll be your friend

Billy
[Smiling] Really?

Jamie
Of course. Now come on let's get to school before we've late.

They exit offstage. Lights fade

Marching Bands Over Manhattan - Death Cab For Cutie

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna...

Play-A-Day (Day 17)

Lights up on a boardwalk setting where a boy and girl are sitting on the railing looking out at the sea. They are sitting closer together than normal people would but there is a distance between them. They both appear internally conflicted over something similar. The next to lines are from inside of the charactors minds.

Boy
What is wrong with this. This should be such a magical thing. I mean who could ask for a better setting. Yet all i can find myself thinking of is being somewhere else. [Looking to the girl] It's not like i'm not attracted to her or anything. It's just i don't care i guess. At least not right now. I just wish i could know what she was thinking and how she really felt maybe that would solidify this.

Girl
[Looking to the boy] I wonder what is going on inside of there. Something obviously has his attention. He's barely spoken two words to me the whole time we've been here. I wonder if i could have done something wrong. Come on think. Is there something you might have done recently that would have upset him? I don't think so. But how can i know. Oh i wish we could just verbalize all of what's in our minds. It would make everything so much easier. [Rubbing her arms] Great now it's starting to get cold out here.

Boy notices she's getting cold and takes off his jacket and hands it to her.

Boy and Girl
Maybe there is hope...

Girl places her head on the boys should. He places his arm around her. Lights fade

But keep the slowly fading memories

Play-A-Day (Day 15)

Lights up on a studio apartment. In the apartment the walls at near random have light patches consistant with the size of picture frames. In one corner of the room a dryer is running with a load of laundry in it. The room is clean and tidy. The ceiling fan in the room is off but has obviously just been turned off recently with its slow turning continually getting slower. Everything in the room looks too little to be in the room. The room itself appears large and more or less barely filled if that. The bed in the room is perfectly made and on top of it is a recording tape with a sticky reading "Play me" on it. The needs to have an aura of emptiness in it. On a nightstand sits and answering machine with a tape already in it. It is blinking red with a message on it. On top of a computer desk is a stereo with a cassette player. Sleeping in a small animal bed is Jessie (a cat) who sleeps soundly oblivious to the world around. At the foot of the dryer rests a single small sock with a pink heel. No one is in the room at first (except the cat) until after a little while a young man enters. He looks around the room at shock in first. Not expecting to see the room so empty upon his arrival. He looks around causiously at first but seeing no one is there he relaxes a bit. Then he walks over the the washing machine and notices the sock on the floor and picks it up and places it on the top of the washing machine. He then turns back to the room and notices the tape on the bed and walks over to it with a certain curiousity. He sees the note on top of it without a name on it and he then places it into the stereo and as it begins he moves over and picks up Jessie the cat and pets her while checking through stuff as the tape begins. It is a young womans voice

Voice
If you're hearing this then chances are we won't ever see each other again. I know you're probably asking yourself what exactly is going on...but i think the best way to go about this is with as little information as possible. Oh and don't worry about the dryer i'll be back to pick it all up sometime while you're gone. Please understand this is for the best for both of us. I truly am sorry. Goodbye.

The young man is by this point sitting on his bed with the cat stroking it softly. He then lays down in the bed filled with a sense of defeat. As he lies down a beep is heard and he jumps and the cat runs away. He then sees the noise is from the answering machine which has a message on it. He plays the message. It is a mans voice.

Mans voice
Hey baby you packed yet. I'm waiting down here freezing my ass off. I've got all my stuff unpacked in the apartment now it just needs you hot little...

The young man grabs and throws the answering machine to the flew breaking it. Lights fade
