Scene 1
Billy: Was that me? I don’t understand. How did this happen to me?
Sandy: I think its better off dead. I’m not kiddin ya. Im serious.
Billy:I had a pretty normal life. Sure, I was a little different but nothing like that. I came from a normal family in a good neigbhood , good parents.
Sandy: It don’t hurt babies to be dead they go straight up to heaven, no hell, no purgatory, No nothing, no problems cause thier souls are still white as snow. Not like threst of u. oh no, if a baby dies hes just fine, son’t even know hes dead. They aint had time in this world to get them black and ugly.
Billy: I worked as an usher at the movie theater then I used to be an average guy. I even had a good girlfriend. My life was so good thyen. Me and brenda oved in together. If you missed our house warming you missed out cause it rocked. It was fun. We had been there in that house coupla years before we hadany problems
sandy: I wish i was that baby. You’se should have seen him lying there in a casket. He loooked fine. And they had a big weath of flowers around his neck so’s to hide the strangle. They had them little pyjamaas on him, trese got up at the S and R. The ones with all them dogs chasins cats all over , all yellow.
Billy: It wasn’t brendas fault. Shes great. It was just....I don’t know. I started to change. I didn’t mean to, i just felt useless. I was a 25 yearold usher at a movie theater, i made 9.75 an hour. I could barely pay for the place. Every one was telling me I need to get a real job, start a career.Make some real money and have a real life. It didn;t bother me at all first. I was still happy and i think brenda was too. Brenda’s a musician, she plugs guitar in coffee shops and at the mall. She’s great. This one time she sang in this coffee shop where one of my painitings was hanging up. That was when i first met her. It was so cool. Her. Me.. Us...
