Play 223: You Know It’s a Great Movie When…

CHARACTERS
VINCENT, 17
DAN, 17

(They sit on a couch watching TV. The credits to a movie are rolling.)

(Long pause, they sit staring at the TV in silence.)

VINCENT
Wow.

DAN
Yeah.

(Pause.)

(Vincent picks up a remote and turns the TV off, making the room very dark as there were no lights on besides that of the TV.)

(Pause.)

VINCENT
That was really good.

DAN
Yeah.

(Beat.)

It really was.

VINCENT
Yeah.

(Beat.)

Shit.

DAN
I know.

VINCENT
That was fucking intense.

DAN
Very.

(Beat.)

And that last scene.

VINCENT
I know.

DAN
Fuck.

VINCENT
Yeah.

(Beat.)

VINCENT
Yeah.

(Beat.)

Wow.

(Pause.)

(Vincent takes a deep breath, and exhales slowly.)

(Beat.)

DAN
What now?

VINCENT
I don’t know.

(Beat.)

It kind of threw me into a deep thought.

(Beat.)

DAN
Me too.

(Beat.)

DAN
Wow.

VINCENT
I know.

(Blackout.)
