November Playwrighting: Crash Sights scene #2

 (There is a hiss of steam being let out and then a car alarm sound. The sound of someone forcing it off. JEREMY walks out with wires in his hand.)

                                SECILY

How many does that make?

                                JEREMY

I don’t know what you mean.

                                OLD SECILY

You knew.

                                OLD JEREMY

I did, but couldn’t admit it.

                                 JEREMY

Someone will come soon.

                                SECILY

I don’t think so.

                                 JEREMY and OLD JEREMY

They will.

                                SECILY and OLD SECILY

When?

                                 JEREMY

Soon.

                                OLD JEREMY

Sorry.

                                SECILY

What do we do until someone come?

                                OLD SECILY

You should be sorry.

                                SECILY

Cold.

                                 JEREMY

Here.

(HE walks off and gives her a blanket that has leaves and things stuck to it)

                                SECILY

Ugh, no.

                                 JEREMY

You said you’re cold! Here take it!

(SHE tries to pick all the things off the blanket)

                                SECILY

Thanks.

(SHE starts to put it around her shoulders. SHE sucks in her breath)

Ouch! Something bite me!

                                 JEREMY

Let me see. You’re bleeding. What did you do?

                                SECILY

Not me! That coperta! It bite me!

                                 JEREMY

Blankets don’t bite, but other things around here might.

                                SECILY

Am I going to die?

                                 JEREMY

It is only a little blood. Might scar.

                                SECILY

Scar?

                                 JEREMY

Mark on skin.

                                SECILY

Mark forever mark on my skin?

                                 JEREMY

Maybe not. Here let me wipe the blood away.

                                OLD SECILY

It did.

                                OLD JEREMY

I said I was sorry.

                               OLD SECILY

I remember. You forever sorry.

                                OLD JEREMY

You never forget.

(HE kisses her hand. JEREMY picks up the blanket and drops it in pain.)

                                 JEREMY

Sharp! What is that?

                                SECILY

It bite.

                                 JEREMY

It can’t bite but it does feel like it.

(Kicks the blanket)

Stay down you vicious creature!

                                SECILY

Watch out! It bite with teeth!

                                JEREMY

It is bearing it’s fangs.

(hands her a stick)

We must defend ourselves!

                                SECILY

Of course. Ungard?

                                 JEREMY

Ungard!

                                SECILY

Ungard!

(JEREMY and SECILY sword fight the “blanket” creature and each other joking around)

                                OLD SECILY

Who are these two?

                                OLD JEREMY

Crazy kids?

                                OLD SECILY

Crazy, yes.

                                 JEREMY

Wait, I see the teeth!

                                SECILY

Really? Attack!

                                 JEREMY

No, no, no. I see something shiny. Glass. It must be from the…sorry, sorry, sorry!

                                SECILY

I like pretend better than knowing what teeth.

                                 JEREMY

We will get through this.

                                SECILY

Not without marks.

                                 JEREMY

Marks?

(SECILY points to her hand)

We don’t know if it will scar. Scar, not mark.

                                SECILY

Scar.

(BOTH JEREMYS take BOTH SECILYS' hands)

                                 JEREMY

I’ll kiss it and make it better.

                                OLD SECILY and SECILY

You think so.

                                OLD JEREMY and  JEREMY

Si.
