I'm not sure what this is yet but it might be the start of a new play.
(Three women in hard hats, A, C and S sit on a steel girder eating lunch from their lunch boxes. Faint sound of jackhammer.)
C What you got?
A Ham.
C You?
S Tuna.
A What about you?
C Yogurt.
S Yogurt again.
C I like yogurt. I used to like yogurt.
S (shouting down below) Hey! You! Let me see you shake that ass!
C And carrots.
S Youre making me all wet! I can barely control myself! Flex it! Flex it! Hey meatboy, where you going?
A He cant hear you.
S Fuck.
C I hate my lunch.
(Pause)
A I have something to tell you.
S Not again.
C Seriously?
A Yeah, Im afraid so.
S Fuck.
A Will you help me?
S What the fuck?
A I know.
C Seriously.
A I know. I know. Im sorry.
C Are you?
A Yes. Will you help me?
S What, tonight?
A Could you?
S I guess.
A What about you?
C OK. But Im not doing any of the heavy lifting or the digging.
S What are you going to do then?
C I could sing.
A I dont think we should sing. Then people will know were out there digging and that wouldnt be good.
C I could hum.
S Shell dig. We both will.
