It's not hard to <br /> figure out where we are in life. (Socrates scoffs, no one notices). <br /> Dawn: Yeah,we're in a dead city full of dead people. They got the Sick, Luna. <br /> Luna: I know all about the Sick. <br /> Dawn (fake panic): Oh no! Knowing about it is one of the symptoms! (Luna screams). <br /> Madeleine: Don't talk to your sister like that,Dawn, she's sensitive. <br /> (Dawn makes a face, stands up and takes a few paces from the group. Luna draws in the dust. <br /> Long intense, awkward pause.) <br /> Socrates (obviously dripping with sarcasm): Hey guys,what has two thumbs, a broken leg and a <br /> can-do attitude?This guy! (Points at himself with his thumbs.) <br /> Dawn: Can-do-nothing, more like. (Socrates blows a kiss with a sassy smile.Another long <br /> pause.) <br /> Madeleine: (Obviously changing the topic) Hey gang! Guess what we have for dinner tonight! I <br /> was foraging in the south end and I found us an exotic delicacy from before the Sick. They call <br /> it... a Twinkie. (Pulls out box of Twinkies, tosses it to Dawn) <br /> Luna: What the hell are these? (Unwraps, takes a bite) Mmmmm. Still good. <br /> Madeleine: I was surprised. I haven't seen one of those in a while. <br /> Socrates: You're right,we should find you a boyfriend soon. (Madeleine looks angry. Dawn <br /> chuckles, walks back. Long awkward pause.) Hey guys,there's three types of people in this <br /> world: those who can count correctly,those who can't, and those who cling to formulaic humour <br /> as a method of interpersonal interaction devoid of self-expression. <br /> (Frank enters quietly and chuckles at the joke) <br /> Frank (hobbling old man): Radical! Twinkies! Can I join y'all for a bit? <br /> (Madeleine jumps, goes to Luna, who screams quickly. Dawn hops up aggressively, her hand <br /> reaching for her knife.) <br /> Frank: Woah, hold your horses. I'm just here for some Twinkies and some conversation. <br /> Socrates: Two treats that stand the test of time. Sit down. <br />
