[LIGHTS COME UP ON A STREET CORNER]
ME: Oh, hi! It's been awhile.
YOU: Wah wah, wah wah wah.
ME: I know, I've been busy for the past week.
YOU: Wah wah!
ME: That long? Wow, a month sure goes by fast.
YOU: Wah wah wah?
ME: Not much. You know, stuff ... keeping busy.
YOU: Wah wha?
ME: Well we saw a great production of "Hamlet" at Coho last week. Oh, we also saw Avatar. Finally! The last ones in the world to see it.
YOU: Wha wah?
ME: Today? Today I had to work, even though it's President's Day. That sucks. But I did see five guys walking around in President masks today. Here, look: I took a picture on my cell phone.
YOU: Wah wha wha wha?
ME: The second guy who looks like a black John Kerry? I think that's supposed to be Obama.
YOU: Wah wah wha.
ME: Right back atcha. Hey, I gotta get back to work.
[LIGHTS FADE TO BLACK]
