Teek: Ahhhh!!! No! No! White... masks white masks... three men...
Wog: Breathe, breathe... just breathe.
(pause for some deep breaths)
Wog: Okay? Okay? Deep breaths are what you need.
(pause for more breaths)
Wog: Okay? Now. Three men, Teek?
Teek: Chased... I tore the dart out...
Wog: You ran? Three men chased you? Men with white masks?
Teek: Yes... masks...
Wog: Like doctor masks, surgical masks?
Teek: Surgery.
Wog: Okay... three men in surgical masks, shot you with a dart and chased you?
Teek: Raining... I ran...
Wog: Wait... it hasn't rained for... uhh... three days.
Teek: I ran... feet fell asleep...
Wog: While you were running?
Teek: Falling... in rain...
Wog: Where? Where did you fall?
Teek: Trees... swamp...
Wog: You were in the nature preserve?
Teek: Crunching... steps... men talking... couldn't move...
Wog: There was a tranquilizer in that dart, Teek... they drugged you...
Teek: Alligator... crawled over me... don't remember...
Wog: Wait!? An alligator came to you?
Teek: On top... I fell asleep.
Wog: The gator crawled on top of you!?
Teek: I fell asleep.
Wog: My God! Then... you woke up? Three days, you were out for three days.
Teek: Stumbled... here... car is gone.
Wog: I don't think you should be driving in your condition.
Teek: Melissa.
Wog: What about Melissa?
Teek: She... her plan.
Wog: Melissa did this to you?! Come on, it was a bad break up, but not this!
Teek: Her dad...
Wog: Yeah?
Teek: Green Beret.
Wog: Shit!? You think... he wouldn't...
Teek: Phoned... said... "don't fuck with me"...
Wog: Holy shit... holy fucking shit...
Teek: Alive...
Wog: Yeah... we've got to get you to a hospital... I'll make sure the docs don't wear the masks.
Teek: Yeah...
Wog: Sounds like that gator saved your life.
Teek: Yeah...
Wog: Amazing... absolutely amazing.
(helping Teek up, supporting him as they move toward offstage)
Teek: Amazing.
Wog: I'll tell the police... they can start going after Melissa and her asshole Dad.
Teek: No. You can't do that.
(they stop)
Wog: Man, I have to... they can't get away with this!
Teek: They didn't.
Wog: What?
Teek: Three men... surgical masks...
Wog: Shot you with a dart, yeah, I know that.
Teek: I needed an alibi.
Wog: You... what?
Teek: No darts... for Melissa... or her dad.
Wog: Wait...
Teek: Three men... surgical masks.
