I've been on this <br /> earth for some time, old man. <br /> Frank: How old do you think I am? <br /> Luna: We look for things on the ground every day. Seems silly to look for valuables on the <br /> ground. Things we could really use,that are important,we're gonna find in much more special <br /> places. <br /> Frank (looking at Madeleine): You know,I reckon you're right. <br /> Madeleine: Come on,Luna, keep up. <br /> Scene 4- Shakespearean Professions <br /> (The next day. "The gang" is exploring the city. Socrates is in a wheelchair. The others stand, <br /> looking into the distance. Frank enters while Madeleine is talking) <br /> Madeleine: Jeez... It sure is sunny out today. Brighter than it's been in weeks. Spring's coming, <br /> I suppose. <br /> (Frank approaches) <br /> Socrates: But that's the only thing,right,Madeleine?Can I get a hell yeah! <br /> Frank: Hell yeah! <br /> Socrates: Hey! You're back. <br /> Madeleine: Stop being so immature Socrates. (Pause.) It sure is beautiful. The cityscape, I mean. <br /> (Pause)Luna, do you remember when you were little we used to take you up on every big <br /> building we could find?You loved being up high.You used to say it made you feel big, like <br /> everything was small enough to reach out and grab. <br /> Luna: That's stupid. Why would I want this dump? <br /> Frank: Hey! This used to be a thriving metropolis full of vibrant life and extraordinary people! <br /> (Aaron Josephs walks'across stage.) <br /> Madeleine: Doesn't matter what it used to be. <br /> Socrates: To be or not to be?That is the quest.... damn. Too many syllables. One of my worst <br /> lines yet. <br />
