Bill, 30s
Marcia, 30s
(Lights up on Marcia and Bill working at computers near one another.)
BILL (reading an e-mail)
Oh, man, Marcia, did you see this e-mail from Mr. Kessler?
MARCIA
Yeah. What’s up with that?
BILL
If he thinks I’m going to work on a Saturday for free he’s a fucking retard.
MARCIA
Bill. I really find that kind of language offensive.
BILL
Oh. I’m sorry. I meant freakin’ retard. Kessler’s a freakin’ retard.
MARCIA
Bill. It’s not the “F” word. It’s the “R” word. It’s very offensive.
BILL
It is?
MARCIA
It’s as bad as the “N” word.
BILL
Oh, okay. I’ll be more careful.
MARCIA
Thank you.
BILL (reading new e-mail)
Oh, man. Now, Kessler wants us to work both Saturday and Sunday. What a fuckin’ mentally disabled person.
(He smiles at Marcia, looking for approval. She gives him a faint smile and goes back to work.)
MARCIA (to herself)
Retard.
(Blackout)
