Scenes from a Play.
Justin: I... I can't do this anymore, baby.
Elena: Do what, honey?
Justin: (long pause) You know.
Elena: (longer pause) I... don't.
Justin: Babe... do you remember when we first met... what I was doing?
Elena: Yeah, you were selling stuffed dolls on the pier.
Justin: Yeah, and do you remember the first thing I said to you?
Elena: Yeah, you said "communist monkeys are scheming a coup."
Justin: What did you think that meant?
Elena: (laughing) I thought you were either trying to be funny or you were a complete nutcase!
Justin: (laughs) Well, guess what baby you were right!
Justin grabs a vase and smashes it over Elena's head, causing her to bleed from the temples.
Elena: (shocked) Ah! Justin!... What are you...?!
Justin scoops up a handful of the vase's broken glass shards and starts rubbing them into Elena's eyes.
Elena: Oh my God-- stop!
Justin: (jumping up and down) Communist monkeys are scheming a coup! Communist monkeys are scheming a coup!
Elena: (blindly crawling around the floor) What is this, Justin?!
Justin: Communist monkeys are scheming a coup!
Elena: Do what, honey?
Justin: (long pause) You know.
