All we hear is the sound of the crunch…

PETER watches his son.
PETER: How’s it going Harry?
HAROLD: Fine.
Crunch…

PETER: How’s your cereal?
HAROLD: Same.
PETER: Same?
HAROLD: Good.
PETER: Good.
Crunch…

Crunch…
Silence.
PETER: Hey, Harry.
HAROLD: Yeah dad?
PETER: Wanna hear a joke?
HAROLD: I guess.
PETER: Ok. Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer?
HAROLD: … why?
PETER: Because he couldn’t see himself doing it.
Silence.
PETER: That’s funny!
HAROLD: Yeah, kinda.
PETER: Come on! Don’t you find that funny!?
Pause.
HAROLD: No.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
