Author’s Note: The key to this piece is in the over-dramatic Soap Opera styled acting of the two characters. No scripts needed. Extra "Flash" and "Blair" lines can be added as needed. Telling a story with body language and voice inflection is important and the crux of this piece. There should be a beginning, middle, end, and denouement before the final line. The death and rebirth being most important in the story line. The emotions listed are simply a guide (albeit a good one) to the way the story can unfold. Brevity, of course, is also very important. People will get the joke and enjoy it… but probably not longer than two minutes. Huge body movements, turns away from each other, looking past the audience in over-dramatic ways sell this piece. Finally, cheesy dramatic live music following the actions and moods of the characters is vital to creating this scene.
