Athena
A cell phone? You can contact them on a phone?.



General Admission
(almost unconscious) yes, a forty two digit number
dialed from any cell phone. That is why they gave us
cell phone technology. So we could contact them.


Athena
What is the number?



General Admission
I don’t know it, only a hand full of powerful people
have it. I’m not important enough to know it.


Athena
I’ll be right back, don’t go anywhere...

her leather outfit and walks to a fire
hose on wall. She unrolls it and walks

General, you look like you might have been a bit
irregular lately, let me help you get things going...

disappears into room.

 


On highway, Binge driving


Binge
You know a little friggin appreciation might go a long
way right now!


Athena
(in a soft loving tone)
I’m sorry babe, it was a rough trip. Forgive me.


Binge
It’s ok, I understand.


Athena
So, how did your art thingy go last night?
Sorry I had to miss it.


Binge
The opening? It went well, I sold....


Athena
Ohhh, stop at the rest area, we can have breakfast
and you can tell me all about it. My treat.


Mercedes parks, Binge steps out
still groggy from the night before.
Starts to talk to Athena offscreen


Binge
So how was your flight?


Sound of screeching tires as her
car peels out of spot, tires smoking.
Leaving Binge standing in middle of

Scene: Art Gallery
Lance and Jody trying to ignore
Stalker Chick, she circles around
to the front of them and talks


Stalker Chick
My ex husband is stalking me too. He uses the child
support check as an excuse to come by every week.


Jody
Why don’t you have him just mail it?


Stalker Chick
I would, but I have a restraining order against the
mailman, I know he was peeping in my windows!


Lance and Jody turn their
backs to her, she circles back
around to their faces.


Stalker Chick
Child support! Two-ten a week! Try to feed and
clothe a kid on that! Compared to what he makes
managing the Burger-Rama it’s a joke!


Lance and Jody turn their
backs to her, she circles back
around to their faces. Binge
walks up


Binge
So, how's your new boyfriend...what’s his name?
Kid Toucher?


Stalker Chick
Sid Fletcher! I had to break up with him, he became
possessive.


Binge
They all do, huh?


Stalker Chick
Yes, They ALL DO! I caught him driving by my
shop every hour like clock work!


Binge
He’s a bus driver, that’s his route.


Stalker Chick
Stop defending him! You're just as bad!

 



Scene: Art Gallery

in the middle of gallery, screaming

 


Stalker Chick
MY 23 YEAR OLD CAT HAS LEUKEMIA!!
WAAAAAA None of you care! I’m exactly
like that woman who got murdered in
New York City and everyone ignored her
screams for help!!! All of you go to HELL!


Binge
(offscreen mumble)

Why don’t you just go to a meeting.

Well, the first hour went by without incident.

another woman was inflicting pain on him.


Binge goes to kick Stalker Chick
in her extended stomach, Gallery owner
screams as Binge stops inches from it


Gallery Owner
BINGE! NO! You’ll hurt the fetus

bottle and bong nearby on table.
Telephone rings, he does not stir.
His clothes from the night before
are disheveled and stained


answering machine
(Binge’s voice)
You have successfully dialed my answering machine
(BEEP)


Athena
Binge, wake up you missable little punk and come
up to the airport to get me. (click)

 

Binge picks his head up off of
table. His face sticks to the surface
a velcro sound as he "peels" it off.
A bubble pack pop sound as his
vertabre snaps back into position.

Binge stirs, moaning. He walks
out to street, exterior shot of his

with enormous amounts of paramilitary
security. Stops in front of terminal.
Athena sitting on designer luggage smoking.


Athena
Took you long enough!

 


Binge
I wish you’d say that in the bedroom.
I missed you too baby.

 


Athena
Shut up and help with the luggage.

 


Binge goes to pick up the two
suit cases, a skycap with a forklift
drops off a skid of road cases marked
“DeCruel” and skycap leaves.


 


Binge
I’m not even surprised anymore.


His cell phone rings, he answers


Binge
Yea?


Voice on phone
Hello, Arthur Bingeby?


Binge
Yea.


Voice on phone
This is the manager at the Watergate hotel in Washington DC
I need to talk to you about the water damage to room 1204, and the rooms 1104 and 1004 below it.


Binge
Perhaps you should call back the plumbers to stop the leak.


Voice on phone
Room 1204 was registered to your credit card number.


 

Binge
CRAP.

 

 

 

Binge sitting on bench at rest area bus
stop, looking very depressed.

 

Bus pulls in, doors open, Buffet Bob is driving.
Binge looks up at a scowling Bob.

 


Binge
You know, no matter how bad my life gets, I can
look at you and think “At least I’m not a fat pig”.


Buffet Bob
You know I don’t have to take any crap from you!


Binge
Yes you do, you're a public servant. Most of us
have wittnessed you eating food you found left
on the bus. So, yea, your’e going to catch crap from me.

 

 

 

 

 

Binge on bus talking to a passenger
next to him.


Passenger
She sounds like a real handful...


Binge
I know from what I am telling you she might sound
a little high strung...


Passenger
I was thinking drug crazed Socio-pathic killer bimbo type.


Binge
Hmp. Maybe, but she’s really hot looking.


Thru window of bus, a silver orb
is seen bouncing over horizon.
Both are unaware of it.
