Chairs

(SAM and PATRICK

are sitting on the stage,

SAM playing with a folding

chair, PATRICK sitting

in one.)

SAM:

When do you think folding chairs were invented?

PATRICK:

I have no idea.

SAM:

He... he was really on the ball, that guy.

PATRICK:

And probably rich as hell.

SAM:

True.

PATRICK:

And there are wooden folding chairs, too. So we're not limited to metal.

SAM:

Right. But what would they have needed them for?

PATRICK:

I'm going to go with storage on that one.

SAM:

Yeah, but what kind of event?

PATRICK:

19th Century religious revival gatherings?

SAM:

Yeah?

PATRICK:

It's possible.

SAM:

I wonder who started with the seats at movie theaters. The ones that fold up.

PATRICK:

Yeah. I'm a big fan of the arm rests that go up.

SAM:

Those are good, too.

PATRICK:

Yeah. For fellatio.

SAM:

Right.
