(They sit against lockers in an otherwise empty hallway.)

1
So.

(Beat.)

2
So?

1
So how’re you?

2
Weird.

1
How come?

2
I feel like a zombie.

1
That’s odd.

2
It is.

1
Any reason?

2
I’m not sure.

1
Anything happen?

2
Does it ever?

1
Good point.

2
It’s just been an odd day.

1
How so?

2
Well, earlier I was in a shitty mood.

1
Any particular reason?

2
Nope. But I felt really weird, like I wanted to cry and beat the shit out of someone at the same time.

1
That’s intense.

2
Yeah, thankfully I don’t feel like that anymore.

1
Yeah.

2
Now I just feel numb though.

1
That sucks.

2
Better than it was before.

1
True.

2
The weirdest part is I have no idea why.

1
What?

2
I mean I have no idea why I was in a shitty mood earlier or why I feel like I do now.

1
That is a little weird.

2
I thought so.

1
Yeah.

(Beat.)

2
So how’re you?

1
Me? I’m fine.

2
Just fine?

1
A little bored.

2
(Sarcastically.)
What a shock.

1
I know.

(Beat.)

2
Tired?

1
What?

2
Are you tired.

1
Yeah. (beat.) How could you guess?

2
How could I not have?

1
You make a good point.

2
Indeed.

(Beat.)

1
Something really needs to happen.

2
Definitely.

1
Like…now!

(Beat.)

Damn.

2
Damn.

(Blackout.)
