| From Scene 2 Ghosts have "landed" in the local park. The kids in hiding... Ghost Pilot But that is a ghost thing. We keep coming back to the same place until we resolve the problem that took place there. Ghost Friend But we never seem to solve the problem. Ghost Pilot True. We have never found the box. Ghost Friend If it is here, then we should be able to find it. Ghost Friend When was it that we dropped it? Ghost Pilot Hey I didn’t drop it. You dropped it. I gave it to you to hold on to. Ghost Friend You were the one that decided to do a silly barrel roll. Ghost Pilot I was bored. We had a long flight. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Ghost Friend Next time you decide to do spins while we are flying tell me to hold tight to the loose stuff will ya? Ghost Pilot Next time I holler back ROLL. Take the hint. Ghost Friend (Pointing off stage) Maybe it is there, we haven’t looked over there yet. (They walk off stage) (The kids come out of hiding) Gerry Did you see all that? Who were they? Robbie No Gerry, not who, what were they?! August You mean they were… Gerry They couldn’t be. Robbie You know what I am saying. They were… Corrie Ectoplasmic, sometimes-translucent, highly deceased organisms that are blissfully ignorant of their past-tense status. August They were GHOSTS. Corrie That’s what I said. Gerry No, you said… Robbie Hush. |
