This is one of the scenes:
[Cindy is sitting on a sofa reading a magazine. Max walks onstage and sits down next to her.] Max: It’s snowing out. Cindy: (looks up from her book) Hmm? Max: (points towards the audience) Snowing. Cindy: (looks at him like he’s crazy) Yeah. Max: (sitting back) Pretty damn hard too. Cindy: (nodding and looking at her magazine.) Yeah. [Pause.] Max: (sighs) How… long have we been stuck in here? Cindy: (looks at her watch) One week, two days, five hours and… 37 minutes. Max: I’m going to go insane. Cindy: Hmm? Max: And we’re going to run out of food. Only the strongest will survive. We’ll have to overpower the others. You and me. They’d be an excellent source of food. Cindy: (nods) Mhm. Max: Once we feed off of each and every one of them, it will only be us two. Cindy: (scowling) Hmm… Max: And then who will survive? Cindy: (sarcastically) I wonder… Max: I mean, being a man I have a large advantage. I worked for these pecks you know. These biceps (he flexes) are the result of years of training and dedication… Cindy: How sad. Max: (ignoring her) You know, girls can’t keep their hands off of me. That’s why I don’t go to clubs anymore. It’s overwhelming. I get mauled by crowds of eager girls, willing to go two, three, even four at once. Cindy: I see. Max: But I’m an old-fashioned kinda guy. A romantic. I prefer the quiet, intellectual types, you know, the ones who don’t think they can get their hands on this fine piece of work. I want to give them hope, you know? I want them to know that they can be pretty damn fine too. Cindy: (sarcastically) Aren’t you kind. Max: Thanks. [Pause.] Max: I wouldn’t eat you, you know. Cindy: (subtly appalled) Excuse me? Max: If it came down to it… I wouldn’t eat you. Cindy: Thank you? Max: You know, if there was no source of food and I was almost dying of starvation… I wouldn’t eat you. Cindy: Oh… Max: Well, I mean, you ‘d be the last person I would eat. (Cindy nods) Max: Because, like I said, survival of the fittest. And I still have a lot of seeds to be planted. I need to leave my mark here before I die. God knows I ain’t got nothin’ except for a pretty face and rock-hard abs. (He slaps his stomach.) (Cindy nods) Max: And, I mean, you wouldn’t be the last I’d eat just because I like you the most. Cindy: Are you sure about that? Max: You’re skinny as **** and there’d be nothing to indulge in anyway. Cindy: (sarcastically) I’ll try to put on a few pounds for you. [Pause.] Max: Are you anorexic? Cindy: No. Max: Bulimic? Cindy. No. Max: Well, what are you then? [Pause.] Cindy: Indifferent. [Pause.] Max: Wanna ****? |
