Jacked
Cast:
Edgy
Wee
Setting: Street corner. Not a nice one.
(Edgy leans against a wall, doing nothing, after a while Wee enters, she walks timidly, Edgy watches her, she doesn't notice him, until...)
Edgy: Hey! Girl.
Wee: (startled, seeing Edgy) Huh?
E: Walk like that, you get picked up.
W: I... uhhh...
E: Not a nice kinda picked up either... like jacked... taken.
W: I'm lost.
E: Never! Say that.
W: Wha...?
E: You know me?
W: N... no.
E: No, you don't. You want to know me?
W: I... I'm sorry...
E: You might be. Maybe I'm gonna take you.
W: No... I'm lost... I...
E: Again, don't!
W: Yes. I... I won't.
E: Shit. I knew you were lost anyway.
W: Can you help me?
E: You know me?
W: No... please, sir, I...
E: (quickly grabbing her wrist) You know how many women I've killed?
W: Please! Don't...
E: You don't know anything... come out here, middle of the night, wandering, worst... you look lost, and you even admit it to a complete stranger, a guy who leans against dead walls on dead street corners under dying lights... (pulling her very close, slowly spitting the words into her face now) Who am I?
W: Please...
E: How many times you want to get raped tonight?
W: (crying) No... no...
E: Where should I leave your naked body when I'm done?
W: (a constant stream of nonsense syllables escape throught the tears) Arrr... nuuuu.... guuuhhhh....
E: That's what you want me to ask? Is it?
W: Noooooo....
E: Then why are you here, if not to deliver me your sweet, soft life?
W: Noooo.... please, please...
E: I'm asking you: how do you want to die?
W: (breathlessly, panicked) Puuhh... p... puh... peacefully... in my old age...
E: (pulling her hair back hard, nose to nose with her) Bitch!!
W: (quickly, loudly) With you by my side!! With you!!
E: (softening slowly, releasing her) Your parents make it back alright?
W: Yeah. They're at the Sentinel Suites. Two doors down from your folks.
E: We better get home.
W: That was incredible... that's almost exactly how we met!
E: Pretty much word-for-word.
W: You have a certain way of grabbing my wrist... still makes me so hot.
E: Let's save it for tomorrow night, after the ceremony.
W: (walking off with E) Was that really three years ago?
E: More than.
W: Wow...
(exit, lights fade)
