THE FEMALE VOICE

It is time for us to take account both of the obstacles that keep us from revolution and of the means we ought to adopt to attain it.

What is the goal toward which we are heading?

We want in a word the fulfilment of natures’ desires.

The peaceful enjoyment of liberty and equality the reign of that eternal justice, whose laws have been inscribed in the hearts of all men, even in that of the slave who forgets them.

How frivolous it would be to regard a few victories achieved by patriotism as the end of all our dangers.

We must smother the internal and external enemies or perish with them.

 

THE YOUTH

One senses that crime frightened has only covered its tracks with greater skill.

 

THE GIRL

I can hear you in my apartment I am not kidding.

 

THE YOUTH

(growling like a dog)

 

THE GIRL

Get the fuck out of here this is not a joke

 

THE GUY

To my lovely, home at last, home at last, thank God almighty, I’m home at last.  I’ve missed you, I couldn’t be a day longer without you. I love.

  

THE GIRL

He came home a month ago, and we live together here in this one-room apartment.  He wants to go back to Iraq so he can do what he does. Maybe he just scratches his head like he does here.  I don’t care. I don’t care about him.

 

THE GUY enters.

THE GIRL

Did you take my work-clothes to the cleaners?

THE GUY

I picked them up. I picked them up this morning.

 

I’m meeting with some of the guys, from the company, in Jersey tonight.

 

THE GIRL

When are you going back?

 

THE GUY

We still don’t know.

 

THE GIRL

This does not belong here.

 THE GIRL leaves. 

THE GUY

(singing)

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up

 

Song :Use me by Bill Withers

 My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

THE GIRL

No .

 

THE GUY

Kiss me.

 

THE GIRL

I can’t.

 

THE GUY

Try.

 

THE GIRL

I can’t.  Please don’t do that.

 

THE GUY

Why are you doing this to me.

 

THE GIRL

Not now.

 

THE GUY

The guys used to say you’d hijacked me, taken possession of my will.

 

THE GIRL

For Gods sake, you haven’t been here. It’s been too long…

 

THE GUY

Please look at me. I’m here now.  Please look at me. What do you want? Me to fuck you with your eyes closed, is that what you want?

 

THE GIRL

Don’t talk like that.

 

THE GUY

Please, I’m miserable.

 

THE GIRL laughs.

 

THE GUY

Sure nothing funnier than unhappiness

 

THE GIRL

Did you hear me, did you hear what I said

 

THE GUY

Yes.  Is there anything else you want to say to me.

 

THE GIRL

I’m going to have a baby.

THE GIRL

Mum?

Yes.

Is that you ?

Yes.

What are you doing here?

I heard you weren’t well dear.

I’m fine, Mum, how are you?

Not bad, not bad.  The children kept my mind off things...I’m still, not quite myself most of the time.  But you dear, any pain?

No, I just…sometimes I can’t remember things, and sometimes I feel like I’m grinding rocks in my stomach.

That will be the early stages.  Don’t be frightened. The stress kept me sharp in the end.

I miss you Mum.

I know. That father you got he’s a good man.  Goodnight my Pet, be careful down there.

Okay, Mum.

I love you.

Song: Pink Moon by Nick Drake

 

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Hey, it's a pink moon
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Yeah, it's a pink moon
