Two-Bit Waltz Page #4

Synopsis: In the wonderfully dysfunctional tradition of The Royal Tenenbaums, teenage years are always messy... but for Maude, things couldn't seem more tragic. Within one week just prior to her 18th birthday, she is suspended from school, stranded by her best friend, dumped by the boy she "loves", and Granny just died leaving her an enormous amount of money under one condition: Maude must go to college which she does not want to do and her wildly eccentric family is no help at all. Of course... It's a comedy!

What?

And why is it that you're here?

Will you come back and

hang out with me after yoga?

And why is it that you're here?

Darling, I would,

but I don't want to.

And why is it that you're here?

Bye.

And why is it that you're here?

And why is it that you're here?

And why is it that you're here?

Jesus.

And why is it that you're here?

What?

I'm sorry.

What?

Am I not allowed to call my

very bestie friendy-wendy?

What?

I've been trying to get a hold

of you for, like, three days.

What?

I'm writing my

personal statement.

What?

Well, would you

talk to me if you

What?

Knew that my grandmother

had just died?

What?

Jenny?

What?

Jenny.

What?

My grandmother has just died.

What?

No, she hasn't.

What?

She has.

What?

In fact, she had

time to die and have

What?

A funeral, which I

have just attended.

What?

That is how long you have not

returned my phone calls for.

What?

Well, you never her anyway.

What?

Will you please come over after

school and hang out with me?

What?

You know, this is what

the rest of your life

What?

Is going to be like without

the collegiate experience.

What?

Jenny, you have nothing to

do when you're suspended.

What?

Stop messing around,

and write your novel.

What?

And eat something besides toast.

What?

That does not mean crackers.

What?

Roll up, roll up,

ladies and gentlemen.

What?

Come one, come all,

for the cracker show.

What?

They cure all your worries.

What?

They cure all your cares.

What?

And for the price of

just a few calories,

What?

You, too, can be a buyer

and an eater of crackers.

What?

Contrary to what your

best friend might think,

What?

They are good for you, and

they make you feel great.

What?

Crackers?

What?

You guys like crackers?

What?

No.

What?

I never told you this,

What?

But I always thought that we

would have been really good

What?

Friends.

What?

Ow!

What?

God.

What?

Sorry.

What?

I didn't know

anyone was in here.

What?

I was wondering if maybe

you wanted to hang out.

What?

Death is a strange

thing, you know I mean?

What?

Holds all of this

cosmic significance.

What?

And yet, we have no idea

what it's really about.

What?

You know, like, I could

be dead in the afterlife

What?

Right now but alive

here like I am.

What?

Or I could be alive here in the

afterlife and dead from before.

What?

It's, like, slightly

more or slightly less

What?

Confusing conversely

to the idea that it's

What?

Slightly less or

slightly more confusing,

What?

Depending on who

you're talking to.

What?

You know, like, for instance,

if I were talking to you,

What?

It might be different than if

I were talking to someone else.

What?

You know what I mean?

What?

It's like many, many

years ago, the dinosaurs...

What?

Please.

What?

Don't.

What?

But cosmically, you

know what I'm saying?

What?

It's so... it's bizarre.

What?

And you just... you

look at it, and you're

What?

Like, what... what's going on?

What?

You know, wow.

What?

You're this thing

that's right here.

What?

And I just can't... you know,

I can't really comprehend it,

What?

You know what I'm saying?

What?

It's like, you ever feel

like the universe just

What?

Walks up to you and

is like, oh, hello.

What?

You must be Carl.

What?

I can't.

What?

What?

What?

What?

"To be, or not to be,

that is the question...

What?

Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind

to suffer the Slings and Arrows

What?

Of outrageous Fortune, or

to take Arms against a Sea

What?

Of troubles, and by

opposing end them?"

What?

Of troubles, and by

opposing end them?"

What?

Of troubles, and by

opposing end them?"

What?

"... To sleep... no

more; And by a sleep,

What?

To say we end the Heart-ache,

and the thousand Natural shocks

What?

That Flesh is heir to?"

What?

That Flesh is heir to?"

What?

That Flesh is heir to?"

What?

So you say you feel

lonely, misunderstood.

What?

Absolutely not.

What?

If anything, I feel

much too understood.

What?

Will you please focus?

What?

I should dare

before the missus gets home.

What?

What happened then?

What?

You know, it's actually not a

bad line for a scullery maid.

What?

Maude.

What?

Yes?

What?

What happened then?

What?

I sat on my thinking

rock and thought thoughts.

What?

You have a rock that

you go and think on?

What?

No.

What?

Actually, I think

in the field, it's

What?

Just sometimes

there's a rock there.

What?

There's a field around here.

What?

Well, no.

What?

OK, earlier you said that

the death of your grandmother

What?

Was a question of

fiscal conservatism.

What?

Conservative fiscalism, yes.

What?

Nothing.

What?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

What?

Why am I looking

at you like what?

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

OK, now I say, "Like that,"

and you say, "Like what?"

What?

Ready?

What?

One, two, three.

What?

Like that.

What?

No, no, no, no.

What?

I have to say, "Like that," and

you have to say, "Like what?"

What?

You ready?

What?

OK.

What?

One, two, three.

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

I don't get it.

What?

It's funny, because

I say, "Like that,"

What?

And you say, "Like what?"

What?

And then I say, "Like what?"

and you say, "Like that."

What?

You ready?

What?

One, two, three.

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

Like that.

What?

Like what?

What?

What?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

What?

Hey.

What?

Jesus Christ, what a day.

What?

We had the funeral.

What?

I had to take Bernie to school.

What?

I say they took Granny.

What?

Death is a fickle

thing, you know?

What?

And neither I nor

your father can

What?

Seem to remember whose

mother she actually was.

What?

Where were you?

What?

I was thinking.

What?

About what?

What?

I don't know.

What?

My book is no good.

What?

What's it about?

What?

Human condition.

What?

Do you have a light?

What?

No.

What?

Or, I have this idea for

this story about these twins

What?

That are separated at birth.

What?

And one grows up to be a

gypsy, and one grows up

What?

To be a policeman.

What?

And they're given away in a

cardboard box, if you will.

What?

So, like, they don't really

know where the other person is.

What?

But they, like, have a vague

idea, because, you know,

What?

They looked into it as

adults or something.

What?

But anyway, the gypsy gets

captured by this traveling

What?

Circus that's going to the town

that the policeman polices for,

What?

Right?

What?

And they're just

outside the village

What?

When they decide to

stop for the night.

What?

And the gypsy is in charge of

taking care of the elephants.

What?

And she falls asleep

with the elephant.

What?

And she has this

crazy dream, right?

What?

And her mom comes to her in the

dream, her long-lost mother,

What?

And tells her that she's inside
