(ONE storms around

the room while TWO stands

center stage, arms crossed.)

ONE:

I hate everything!

TWO:

Just relax.

ONE:

I can't relax! Everything is awful! You're an asshole, I hate this place, I hate everyone here, I can't stand it anymore!

TWO:

Nothing is wrong. Nothing's even happening. You just really need to calm down. I'm here for you, okay?

ONE:

No! I can't stand this! I'm so mad... it's, it's scaring me!

TWO:

Yes, it's scaring me, too! You just need to relax, okay? You're just piling irrelevant things on, trying to make yourself more upset. Don't you see? Just, please, please calm down.

ONE:

FUCK YOU! I HATE YOU! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!

TWO:

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS? CAN'T YOU SEE? YOU ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO HURT THE BOTH OF US! SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU!

ONE:

I HATE YOU SO MUCH! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR CHRIST SAKE!

TWO:

(sighs)

Fine.

(TWO leaves, but ONE

doesn't notice. When they do,

they look around for TWO,

but he is gone. Lights fade.)
