#29: REALITY CHECK

(The PLAYWRIGHT and BETSY stand on a large empty stage.)

PLAYWRIGHT: I overestimated my will power, I understimated my free time, and I just don't think I can do this every day.

BETSY: You need to calm down. You're only human.

(pause.)

PLAYWRIGHT: Wrong on both accounts.

(The PLAYWRIGHT's massive dragon wings and dragon tail break through his human clothing. He screams the high-pitched scream of an eight year old girl who is determined to shatter glass. A car alarm sounds. The PLAYDRAGON flies effortlessly over the audience and out the lobby door narrowly missing a frightened house manager. Somewhere a baby cires. BETSY is confused.)

BETSY: Deja Vu.

BLACKOUT
