STEPH in a front yard mowing a lawn.
STEPH’s face looks dead.
STEPH continues to mow.
Mow…
Mow…
Mow…
STEPH’s Uncle DOM enters.
DOM looks at STEPH.
DOM looks at STEPH’s dead face.
DOM: Steph.
STEPH: Yeah?
STEPH continues to mow.
STEPH’s face continues to look dead.
DOM: Why does your face look like that?
STEPH: Like what?
STEPH continues to mow.
STEPH’s face continues to look dead.
DOM: Your face looks like it’s dead.
STEPH: Oh…
STEPH continues to mow.
STEPH’s face continues to look dead.
DOM: Why?
Pause.
Pause.
Pause.
STEPH: Because I hate this.
Pause.
DOM: Oh.
DOM exits.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
